>>77372018How often do you lift? Have you done a dexa? At 6ft shouldn't 175 lbs really be 15%
I like being in deficit more than I like being on maintenance break. Somehow it's more difficult on maintenance. Maybe because a higher percentage of my calories are protein when I'm in deficit. That and the psychological knowledge that I'm making progress.
When to a big cookout. Had a ton of food, had fun. Don't regret it. Its ok to have days like these. But holy shit I feel like crap. Stomach hurts and its tougher to eat in the quantities I used to. I am making it so hard. This is a signal
Does drinking lots of water slow down digestion in the large intestine? If your body is well saturated, does it take longer for the large intestine to absorb water?
>>77372197i made some fried tacos for myself, i was almost done with the first when i felt full and satisfied, couldn't even start on the seconda few years ago i'd demolish a plate of 4-5 and have sides no problem and then eat again 2 hours later
>>77372063Remember to never eat carbs, /fat/ friends.
Dropped from 400lbs to 214lbs, starting to think I need to quit hitting the gym and lifting so heavy to get the last 14lbs off. I did 5x8 80lb db shoulder press and a few accessories so moderately strong, im just so fucking hungry after the gym
>>77372218I started to do weird shit when I hit a plateu too, and I regret this. I lost my momentum and got fat again. Should have just kept doing what I was doing
>>77372218Hunger is caused by eating carbs. Just stop eating carbs.
>>77372218>off. I did 5x8 80lb db shoulder press and a few accessories so moderately strongyou mog me hard. highest i ever did was 55lbs
>>77372256no I need carbs for energy for lifting
>>77372256Hunger is caused by ghrelin.
>>77372218Nah you're just strong. Not moderately. Thats a lot to overhead
how are you guys coping in this heat?

>31h into a fast>the urge to grab food is really highshould I just do the thing and eat something high protein like beef jerky?
>>77372432That's why I'm strictly a 23hr faster. Any longer and I want to kms
>>77372432>and eat something high protein like beef jerky?Absolutely not, fasting is keto, right now you're burning fat and eating protein or carbs will fuck it up. Eat something really high in fat like an avocado so you never stop burning fat.
Need some advice bros. I've been doing lifting about 3 times a week and also trying to pull back my calorie intake as much as possible, but the hunger is pissing me off. Would I be alright to use creatine powder shakes prior to a workout and then protein powder shake after the workout (and also just in general)?
>>77372211It's crazy but also liberating. I still like it but dont feel the need to eat too much of it.
>>77372355Yes? I could do like 60 lbs seated at max. And thats still better than the average normie on the street.
>>77372490I hate shakes and protein powder I dont use them. But if its hunger I recommend potatoes. I cut up like 3-4 pounds of butter potatoes, salt pepper paprika them, use 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix them up, put on a baking sheet and cook for like 45 min at 400 F. Eat like 1/4 of that for the next 4 days. Potatoes are amazing for satiety. Lots of nutrients and low calorie.
>>77372507Wait what? NTA but I used to do standing OHP with a 35kg barbell 10x3 and the only reason I didn't go up to 40kg is because I couldn't do proper form so I got lower back pain and got scared I would injure myself.
>>77372509I don't mind the flavors personally, so hence why I'm considering it. The powders also tend to have 20-30mg of protein per serve. Aren't potatoes an issue because of starch and shit? I thought potatoes make you bloated.Any thoughts on creatine too btw?
>>77372511Am I thinking of something else? Im referring to me holding a 60 lb (like 30kg) dumbell and lifting it above my head in a neutral grip while sitting. It's tougher for me sitting than standing cause you cant leg drive
>>77372514I started taking creatine in April, i have noticed a slight uptick in energy and I guess my arm muscles are more filled in. I havent experienced any negative effects (like the supposed hair loss claim). My scale weight stalled for like 3 weeks while I was loading so your water weight increases.
>>77372516>like the supposed hair loss claimI honestly hadn't heard that one before, maybe I'll give it a pass then.
>>77372509Potatoes are great. I like to do a whole bunch at once. I cut them in half lengthwise and then cut the halves in half. Potato wedges! It's easy and quick and they cook faster that way. Then I bake a whole tray of them at once and use them as a side dish through the week. The secret to keeping the calorie count down is to not drown them in butter, sour cream, or cheese- and no ketchup. A little oil and salt is all they really need. It's kind of boring but they really are very filling. Air fryer would be ideal for this.
>>77372514Potatoes dont make you bloated, not me anyway. They make me feel full. I CICO and they work for me at least.
i'm so done. can someone explain to me HOW i lost only one literal pound after a week of eating 4,5k calories and fasting for 5 days at 225lbs? i tracked everything and not lying. the only possible explanation is that i'm holding onto water since i ate pretty carb heavy meals last week on Saturday but then i fasted Sunday to Wednesday, ate 1,3k calories (no carbs or sugar in anything besides 1 apple and a can of fish in tomato sauce) on Wednesday and fasted until today morning so i have no idea what water i could still be holding on. i've been doing this for a few weeks too so no previous water weight and lost at least 3lbs every week before this one. i just want to get to 218lbs asap and then focus getting under 200 during the summer but this is so discouraging i would expect at least 2.5-3lbs lost in a week busting my ass off like this at this weight. there's no way it slows down drastically like this here right?
I‘ll be fasting this WeekendLord give me strength
>>77372063Lost 2.2 kg in 3 weeks just by running and not eating ice cream/snacksRunning might actually be the goat
>>77372594This Earth of ours might be a prison
I put on over 12lbs again but I have more energy...
I think I'm at the plateau, I'm not sure. I've steadily lost about 4kg over 6 weeks but I've been sitting steady on 86kg for the last 10 days, with it only fluctuating by about 200grams. I still look at as shit in the stomach and in my face, I hate it.
>read that protein powders may also cause hair lossI'm getting really sick of this shit guys, is there nothing I can buy that won't cause this shit? I can only eat so much chicken per day before getting tired of it, same with other stuff like almonds and fish.
Fasting is the worst thing i have ever done for weight loss. I gained so much weight after, it's terrible. Must be something like cortisol build up.
>>773725481lb per week is a good amount, just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be done in 2 months.
>>77372701thanks i know it's still a good progress, but i'm just baffled how little i lost while being in that big of a deficit. i had to step on the scale a few times as well cause the first 4 times it showed me i was UP 1lbs from last week so idk if my scale is fucked or my progress drastically slowed down out of nowhere.wish i never ate like a pig in the first place ffs.

>>77373115Are you also mentally ill? I'm not supporting you being a retard you stupid fastard
>>77373116You sound fat.
>>77373117You sound retarded.
>>77373116>>77373118Its a lesson many anons need to learn by experience, you can't just tell them fasting doesn't work, they have to live it first. We used to have a fasting general that would compete with /fat/ but it died and not because everyone suddenly got super lean and hot overnight, but because fasting is fundamentally not a sustainable way to lose weight.
>>77373126CICO is fundamentally not a sustainable way to lose weight.
>>77373128>Eating less isn't sustainable>But eating nothing is
>>77373129Eating less lowers your metabolism until you regain weight. And tracking everything you eat in a diary is mentally ill.
>>77372699How much weight? You lose 4lbs in pure water weight from emptying out glycogen and then you gain it back when you eat carbs.
>>77373133>Eating less lowers your metabolism>But eating nothing doesn't
Ketofag is now shilling fasting? What happened to carnivore? I thought unlimited calorie carnivore was the answer? Now you're telling me I have to fast too?
>>77373126fasting can be a great way to achieve your desired weight because it's easy and faster. but the most common mistake people make is that they don't learn how to actually eat healthy during the fasting period, and once the weight is off they just gain it back because they still have ingrained the same eating habits.
>>77373141When you eat just stick to low/zero carb and you will not regain weight. Weight gain (and failed weight loss) is caused by carbs.
>>77373141I see fasting as a great short-term tool, I find it kills my appetite better than just about anything else, if I need to shed weight as fast as possible nothing beats it. My issue is people who try to use it as their primary means of weightloss/maintenance. That said I'll always recommend PSMF over traditional fasting.

You going to fast on and off for a few months every couple of years? That's the part of fasting that isn't sustainable, and a lot of people who fast end up gaining it all back thinking that they can just 'figure it out' when they're not fat anymore.

I didn't exercise Thursday, but, I think I made up for it yesterday. My family asked me to help move things out of a three-story house and cheese and rice, I got bamboozled for it. I woke up at 7:00 a.m., went to the new place(another three-story house) at 8 am, and arrived by 8:45 am. There was 5 of us when we met up to say high and start moving some stuff out of the Uhaul van that was already there. After that, we went to the old house, loaded up the van with mattresses, box springs, vanities, desks, bags of clothes, hutch, dressers, tvs, just a whole bunch of stuff. Fucking three dressers weighed at least 125 pounds, if not more, and they were on the second floor. Bunch of bullshit. Not only did we load up the van, we also loaded up the two extra cars that were there. Once we loaded that up, ending around noon, we went to the new place and ate. I didn't eat, since I'm fasting, but my family did. Once that was done, we kept going to unload everything, fucking dressers. We had to put them up on the second floor of the new place, but we couldn't even carry them up the stairs, we had to roll those assholes up like Sisyphus. Around 3-4 pm, you would think we were done, NOPE, we had to go back to the old place, with the van and cars mind you, take all these totes from the basement out, pack them in the uhaul, and go back to put them in the new basement. Not only that, we also loaded up the cars again. We also took some grills, a work bench that was in the garage, and some chairs. We finished around 7 pm and there was still a bunch of little things left in the old place. Thankfully, they said they could grab them later. I didn't get home until 8 pm. So about 12 hours of my day was spent helping to move, about 9 of which I was actually moving and grooving, accounting for breaks and the drives. I wore a shirt, black jacket, black jeans with belt, black work shoes, socks, and gloves. >my face when right flexor sublimis digitorum and right biceps
how do i count calories without scale
>>77373433It was crazy, because I didn't pee until after I got back and it was so dark when I did, and even though I was moving for 9 hours and hadn't eaten for 5 days, I wasn't crazy out of breath or out of it throughout the whole time. I did get whoozy a couple of times though and was sweating like crazy. I don't think I was drinking enough water. I took a shower and went to sleep yesterday afterwards. Today I have almost no grip and can barely even squeeze my right hand. I woke up today at 6 and prepped all of my food for tomorrow.

I last weighed in 2.5 months ago on april. Going to weigh myself in 2 weeks July 18th All I do is track my workouts, my macros 200p 210-220 c and 50f), adjust my routine as needed and supplements as well. At no point have I checked my weight as the progress will happen anyway due to doing things correctly I train everyday doing cardio days 2x a week (60-80 minutes treadmill on incline) or so, 20-30 minutes of cardio post lifting as well and I lift 4-5 days a week with a upper lower split on top of that with lifting being my primary focus. I go to the gym everyday or at least only 1 day off every 2 weeks or so. I expect to be down to around 198-200 or a bit less. I was 213 on April 16. I am 6 footAfter that I will keep cutting for 12 weeks which should leave me around low 180s as I have stepped things up now even more. At that point I should have a very clear 8 pack and can simply recomp for a month or two then do a real bulkWill post my weight in 2 weeks. I started at 241 in November. I used to take lifting seriously when younger but always fell off. Now I have been fully sharp on top of every single thing for about 4 months in a row
>had a fat slice of pizza >but also did 7 miles of walking (and also in calorie deficit)the old me would've had 2 slices and not walked, but I'm slowly getting better
>dropped roughly 10lbs since MayAm I doing okay? I'll note that I was still on a pretty shit diet filled with chocolate until about 2 weeks ago but was going to the gym twice a week since May. It makes me feel kinda hopeful that with a better diet thrown in with a little exercise I might really see some big progress on a few weeks.
is soup OP? Like you can eat it until you're uncomfortably full and only have consumed 500 calories
i realized today that ive been over measuring a bunch of stuff by measuring it raw even though its weight decreases when cooked, often substantially
>>77374102Youre supposed to measure meats raw. Its the most accurate since the cooking process can change the water weight. Cooked weights I only use for stuff like restaraunt food or rice.
>>77374061>Am I doing okay? yes. 6 pounds per month is great.
>>77374104i m just very confused. im using a tracker app, i weighted to raw chicken thighs with bone in and stuff, the app said 2 thighs was a wopping 800 calories whcih seemed excessingi weighed in after cooking and it came to 650 calories which seemed more reasonable i ended up googling "estimated calories for x wight of bone in chicken thighs" and it gave two different answers, 800 for raw, and a different one for cooked that seemed to make more sense all in all i honestly dont know what to think.

i bought some roasted pumpkin seeds and they were pretty tasty. today is probably the first time ive ever come close to hitting the recommended daily intake of magnesium ( i guess i may have come to it in the past when stuffing my face with tonnes of food, who knows)
I started taking 5mg of Creatine daily, but it's bloated me at least 9lbs so far, it helps me handle working in the heat but I don't know if I can keep this goingwhat do i do reddit
>>77374035God speed my man, it seems like you're overtraining to me, but only you can judge that. Just remember that you're not 16 anymore.I can't even hold my cellphone up for 20 minutes without my muscles all locking up and then having to go through the slow process of stretching them out again.
>>77373276I enjoy my simple shopping list.1lb of ground beef, 1lb of chicken breast and 7oz of salmon & 1 dozen eggs is my staple shopping list now.
>>77373585Your post reminded me of something similar that happened to me. It was a few years ago and I had spent 6mths dropping a lot of weight, it might have been 60lbs. I was just sitting and started feeling strange. I cant remember the order of things happening, but I know for sure I had a series of panic attacks, my eyes went blind randomly, I said it looked like someone had smeared petroleum jelly into my eyes. Im not sure what triggered this, something viral or was it that my body was so cooked from months of low calorie dieting that it my body just packed up and said nope. I couldn't even play video games without triggering an attack. This went of for a couple of weeks. I still think of my life now in two parts, before that event and after that event. I am back to trying to lose weight but that event is always in the back of my mind.
>>77373844>broccoli is disgustingI concur. Broccoli tastes ok but it makes me too bloated, I'd rather eat green beans now.
>>77373851When I am actually losing weight I love the feeling of hunger. It actually makes me feel badass like I am fighting something and winning. When I am not losing weight, ill just snack to combat hunger because I think meh, one more snack aint going to make a difference, but it does.
>>77373844You're cooking it wrong. Fresh broccoli blanced in boiling water for a minute and then stir fried with garlic and ginger is fantastic, add salt and pepper to taste.
>>77374152>roasted pumpkin seedspost their calories per 20g
How low is everyone else's TDEE? I'm trying to properly diet with a calorie deficit of 500, leaving me with 1300 cals daily. It's not so hard to maintain, I get the proper amount of protein and I don't feel terribly hungry, but I thought it was kind of low to have as a man. Does anyone else have this low of a calorie cap?
>>77374167keep going
i reached a stage where i find microwaved potatoes ok to eat. a bit tasty even. i hope this allows me to unlock new gains.
>>77374251how is it that low
>>77374251>Does anyone else have this low of a calorie cap?yes, manletbro. me.
What are some lower sodium ways to season your food? I usually just use a shit tonne of all purpose type seasoning, but trying to cut out the salt. I can only really think of mixed herbs and paprika but maybe could hear some ideas what other anons use
>>77374250113
>>77374259I still cut mine up and boil them, and they taste good to me with a bit of butter and salt. Potatos are great. Are low carb potato's available where you live?
>>77374251Yeah mine was like 1500 and I couldn't stand it so I just added exercise so it was up to 1800, and thats far more sustainable for me. 300kcal of walking is only like an hour or two depending on pace, not ridiculous but it adds and entire large apple worth of calories to spend which can be the difference between a meal that theorically hits all my macros and one that satiates and doesnt leave me immedately yearning for more.
>>77374272>Are low carb potato's available where you live?no. first time knowing about them even. sounds like a next level gains enhancer.
>>77374266Get a salt substitute like No-Salt, then just season with spices they arent salted, avoid prepackaged spice blends, those are usually salted.
>>77374262I just originally thought that was too low and unmaintainable and 1500 was. After plateauing for a good while I can see that I'm still thinking fat.>>77374264Fuck fuck it is my heights fault again God fucking damnit why does God hate me>>77374277I'm hitting the gym while in this diet, both lifting and cardio. Im still early in the diet so hopefully I don't crash and burn.
>>77374259When I was a kid I went through a phase where I would microwave a plate of frozen french fries and eat them with hot sauce for breakfast every single day. Later on I wondered how I didn't get ginourmously fat from doing that, but now I know that it's the oil in fries that fucks you up.
>>77374282Ill have a look today at some different spice options. I have some lite salt which ill use in combo with some different herbs and spices. Mabye some onion and garlic power to start with.
>>77374266Fresh onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. You can even pre-chop them and freeze them in handy portions.
>>77374223>something viral or was it that my body was so cooked from months of low calorie dieting that it my body just packed up and said nope. I couldn't even play video games without triggering an attack. This went of for a couple of weeks. I still think of my life now in two parts, before that event and after that event. I am back to trying to lose weight but that event is always in the back of my mind.This is exactly what happened to me, I was eating 1000 cals a day and then 8 months later boom. For months maybe 6 months I could not listen to Music, watch horror films, or play video games....things that I loved. And 9 months later I just feel off, much better than before but I have never felt truly like myself after that panic attack
>pigged out on 530g of potatoes>~430 calories this feels like cheating
>>77374223>>77374349remember frens it could also be a blood sugar thing low blood sugar triggers fight-or-flight response exactly like a panic attack, and if youre someone who had anxiety issues to begin with, this can create a hellish feedback loop just went through this the other day
>>77372514potatoes are a higher volume food. they take more space in the stomach. they are more filling compared to other foods.
>>77373103stop and just eat right. get a food scale, and stop fucking around with fasting.
I think im finally ready to try begin less aggressive/retarded with my calorie deficit. i keep being told to do 1900 calories and i scoff at it, i lost weight many years ago doing like 1200-1500 so why shouldnt i do thatit took time for it to sink in that im older now though. and in much worse shape than I was back then. I dont think i can handle it the way i handled it back then. i dont think the extreme deficit is very good for me. my main thing is that i dont want to feel like shit all the time because it makes my anxiety go through the roofi give up. i will eat the 1900 calories
>>77373802I'm sorry you feel the need to try and discredit my aphorism by using an ad-hominum attack, And ironically, claim a fallacy fallaciously.
>>77374505The more I fuck with diet and try new things the more I realised the guys they say just eat chicken broccoli and rice were probably right all along. Gets to a point where just get in and lose the fucking weight in a timely manner is really the best way.
>>77374578for what its worth, i eat chicken broccoli and potatos for almost every dinner. sometimes i switch out for a steak or fish when i can
I cut to one meal of chicken a day, lose weight to 200, stall for about a year hovering between 195-200, and now I weigh in at fucking 205. I hate how I stop autistically tracking everything for five minutes and I immediately become fat again. Is it really true that ex-fatties get fat again easier because you can't really get rid of fat cells? It's so unfair, man.
>>77374636What are you doing for your routine exactly? Any exercise or just diet only?
>>77374637It was just biking irregularly and eating one meal a day. I cut out sodas, I stopped eating chips. Once I got to 200 I let myself be more freeform. I knew the weight loss would stop but as long as my weight wasn't going up I was fine. After months of weigh-ins where I stopped giving a shit (would eat out sometimes but still no chips and no soda) I still kept hovering 195-200. I don't know what I did recently to get myself up to 205 again. That's going to be weeks of eating jack shit to get myself back down.I started lifting (badly, and not much because I am a dyel) because it's clear that for some reason eating one meal of chicken a day is somehow still not enough to outpace my sedentary computer user life.
>>77374642Dieting is good and plays a major roll, but you still need to be doing some kind of physical acitivity. Even just using the bike twice a week would make a real difference.
>>77374636>ex-fatties get fat again easier because you can't really get rid of fat cells? It's so unfair, man.yes
>>77374636>>77374642>Is it really true that ex-fatties get fat again easier because you can't really get rid of fat cells? It's so unfair, man.bro you've already said you don't exercise at all. eating less can only do so much, even those crazy anorexic bitches need to exercise to keep from gaining anything.

God fucking damn it, I'm losing weight but back in the ugly zone, which for me is between 213 and 205. At above 215 I feel big, solid, and square, and at 205 I feel lean, but in between I feel like a fat lean kid. I feel at this weight (210) those five pounds are just all stuck on the worst spots and I feel like a stupid faggot. Thanks for listening.

>>77375057if your health issues don't interfere with your energy to exercise too badly then i think lifting would probably help even if you're losing weight. not trying to be mean but you're built like an old guy with sarcopenia so from that starting point you can definitely gain a fair bit of muscle without needing to eat any extra.t. have had a physique like yours on and off throughout life depending on how depressed and physically inactive i've been

>>77375130>>77375137Constipated bruhs, if you're on a significant calorie deficit, your body will react by slowing down digestion in order to extract as many nutrients as possible from your food. This can be exacerbated by higher protein and less fiber content.tldr: don't worry, it will pass
>>77375337oh so that is the reason why i shit more frequently since i started taking protein powder? interesting
Am I being retarded for keeping a 1.3k average daily deficit if I'm eating close to 2k and enough protein? I keep reading that slowing will prevent muscle loss but I'm losing 2 to 2.5kg a week (2.2 to 2.8% of bodyweight), and according to my smartwach and smart scale right now around 30% of the weight I'm losing is muscle mass.

>>77375347>>77375363Deficits are really about how you feel, if you feel terrible raise your calorie intake a bit. IMO caring about losing too fast or whatever is not really a major concern as long as you're feeling okay.Your TDEE is like 2300 or something, rough approximation since I don't see your height. I dunno how to read your random ass graphs exactly so I hope you are not assuming you have a 4k TDEE. Don't factor in exercise calorie burn into your day to day budgeting, assume your burn is 0, you'll never get it right and every tool overestimates in a way that will just fuck you over.Ignore lmao guy
>>77375398>Don't factor in exercise calorie burn into your day to day budgeting, assume your burn is 0, you'll never get it right and every tool overestimates in a way that will just fuck you over.I don't think this is true. For some people they may have physical labor jobs or more time for cardio some days where they are burning more calories. I found that if I ignore those calories then I end up further down the line feeling crappy and my hunger goes through the roof. I personally have found that accounting for the burned calories helps me feel better and stick to the diet better. Just need to make sure to watch the scale and learn how off your fitness tracker is. I learned that mine actually underestimated how much I was burning

Especially so if you can show this to her with evidence with some physical chores to help her out you couldn't do before.
