Subcataneous fat is pissing me off. I'm around 18% body fat but my fat is covering my midsection in the worst ways. Can't wait to get down to 12% and melt this shit. At least arms are vascular.
potatoes are great. i now just batonnet (longitudinal thick cuts) and microwave them for 7-10 minutes.
>>77380576https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXf63vN73BEI make these, they're the best fucking thing in the world.

>>77380597thanks for the video broi'll make these next time i get some potatoes>>77380625u could use a liner in your air fryer if you're feeling lazy
>>77380630>protein shakesgood to supplement your protein intake in case it's low. some use it instead of a meal.>protein barscandies replacement when you get an uncontrollable itch. they're candies but with more protein.
>>77380630I actually use protein shakes to get in my veggiesI just put 70% broccoli 30%strawberries with 100ml of non fat milk (rest water) and a scoop of double coco protein powder in the blender.this way i can not taste the greens
>>77380630>>77380642Any risks of balding? I've read some people saying it can cause that and I don't understand the logic.
>>77380676no risk. you are correct not to understand their bullshit
>>77380720Thanks man. I'd read that about creatine and then suddenly I was seeing it about protein too (which made absolutely no sense). I'll pick up some protein powder then, I love eating chicken and other proteins but sometimes I just want a quick drink to go.
>hit new low of 83.5 yesterday>went up to 85 kgs during the day>hit new low of 83kgs todayfeels good bros wagmibut i start to feel like im more and more fat, there is still so much fat that needs to go
>>77380664Smart anon right here
>>77380664>70% broccoliHow do you not taste the veggies? There's so much in there.
>Weight goes downThreadly Reminder that:WAGMI
>>77380765because the broccoli and the straberries are right out of the freezer, so they are frozen, frozen broccoli tastes like almost nothing and the double coco and straberries overpower it
>>77380722creatine's observed hair loss is due to people doing roids alongside it. maybe you're hearing it about protein for the same reason.

I've successfully only gained 1.3kg in the 2 months since my second child was born.I intentionally cut a few kg beforehand so that I wouldn't have to worry about my eating afterwards. And now that I'm back in an exercise routine, I think I should be able to maintain my weight pretty easily.
>>77380978ofc!
>>77380630not useful if your goal is to lose weight. eat lean meat instead, it will be more filling for the same calories.
Fatty ContestGreaser98.1kgWelp. Back on it then
>>77380874Ok
Ive plateaued at fucking 344lbs while eating 1.5k calories a day. I fucking hate my body. Legitimately pisses me off like I can't have one thing?
>>77381161are you sure youre eating just 1.5k?
>>77381190Unless the spiders I unknowingly eat while I sleep amount to 2000kcals yeah, I'm around ~1500kcal/d.
>>77381197what sort of foods do you eat on average? how many meals a day? are you using a food scale?
Can't get chipotle with the gf anymore. The macros were good enough to justify once a week with her then I looked at how much sodium was in one bowl.Nearly 1600 without any of the bigger toppings like cheese, sour cream, etc.Rip to that.
>>77381201It doesn't matter man, btw >>77381197Is not me. Any suggestions you give me probably won't work. I'm probably fucked. I'm just gonna keep doing omad and hope the scale budges.
>>77381265Haha he's scared of sodiun
>>77381361I am, yes.My father and his father both have a history of heart attacks. I spent so long lying to myself that being 300lbs+ wasn't going to make it inevitable.Now that I'm almost out of the 300s and still had high blood pressure at a recent urgent care visit (unrelated to weight, I had sliced off part of my thumb with a mandoline like an idiot), I'm trying to take it more seriously.
Remember: no carbs.
>>77381361>sodiun
>>77381401I lose the same exact amount of weight regardless of macro composition on the same calories, the only difference is lifting feels worse on keto. So ~200g carbs per day it is.I do love how easy it is to OMAD keto and not think about food at all though.
>>77381460This, I'm giving up on low carb until winter comes, I'll lose more weight while eating more just from having the energy to do intense cardio.
>>77381401>unlimited caloriesno proof of this :)
2500kcal is so goodI'm never running a deficit ever again, I'll just recomp for the rest of my life
>>77381161How long have you stayed at 344 for?A few things that could be happening>You're not being very active which is limiting your TDEE to 3200 (obviously, this number will vary) and you're forgetting to count small thing like oil. milk in coffee, sauces, small nibbles of someone's food etc.Its easy as shit for that to add up to 1000+ calories without even thinking of itAlternatively>You're gonna hit a wooshI had a period where my TDEE should have been 3000 or so, I was eating around 2K calories a day and not seeing any movement for 2 weeksI finally decided to reassess things and I was eating closer to around 2800When you drastically cut to 1.5K you can slip into a mentality of >Well its ok if I just have one small bar of chocolate because my deficit is so highIf you find yourself falling into that just bump up to 1800 and don't limit yourself so much, ironically it can help to eat the things you shouldn't so long as its in moderation
>>77381543This is part of why my autistic spreadsheet that I've shared screenshots of before has me log my calories every day. It has a built in formula that recalculates my TDEE every 6 weeks so I can adjust my deficit accordingly.Sometimes, like yesterday, I still get upset about week long stalls, but it happens.

>>77380497Made up some bullshit for dinner tonight.>Canned Salmon>Sweet Potato Mash>Rye Toast with low-fat cream cheese
>>77380630Protein bars are a scam, they're "high protein" but still contain lots of saturated fats and carbs alongside not that much extra protein, combined with the high price and godawful taste, it's better to just eat fruit mixed in skyr yoghurt if you want something sweet but high in protein without it tasting like a literal brick
So the secret to losing weight is literally just eat less? Doesn't seem that hard
>>77380630In my experience protein bars still have way too much fat and sugar and too little protein to be healthy. They are also pretty expensive, if you want easy protein just take some whey
>>77381708>>77381722every brand is different, some are fine. i love these in particular
Fatty ContestAngloSperg248
>>77381718Nope. Eating less destroys your metabolism and causes weight regain.
Be careful with nutrition facts on the box and weigh the food. For example, I've been measuring bran flakes using a measuring cup. Today I decided to weigh it in order to adjust for a kiwi fruit I ate. It weighed over 50 grams in the measuring cup, while the box said a cup weighs 38 grams. Lesson learned.
>>77381807Regain is caused by people not easing properly into their new diet or simply eating exactly like what made them fat in the fist place.
>>77381818Regain is caused by metabolic slowdown from doing CICO.
Very fat question butIf I reach my protein macros and got like 600 calories left over, is it fine to round it out with slop
>>77381880no
>>77381880"if it fits your macros"
after over a week of baked potatoes, junkfood is hitting me like a truck. i barely managed to only do 1550 calories for the last couple of days. it doesn't satiate at all compared to good old baked potatoes.i think i'll just go potatoes4lyfe mode.
>>77381955There's a reason the humbe tater is beloved wordlwide.Crazy how great on macros they are compared to shit like pasta and rice
>>77381880>I reach my protein macros and got like 600 caMake sure you're getting adequate fat which is usually about 55 G for the average man but make it more about 65. If you're not getting enough fat, your testosterone will nose die. People always forget they need this minimum. But after you hit fat, go with carbs and it can be slop if you want . Unless you're doing keto in which case put it back into fat and protein . Again, slop is fine. Not optimal, but it's fine.
Space Marine changes I would make.Combine Intercessors and Assault Intercessors, then make it so the ability they get is based on whether you choose a ranged kit or a melee kit.Combine Infernus, Hellblasters, and Desolators. Do the same - their ability is determined by the kit you choose.Once more, we combine Aggressors, Eradicators (Melta and Bolter) and Heavy Intercessors. Same as above, with Heavy Int making the unit gain Battleline.Basically, I think a lot of the datasheets should be condensed and made more modular.

>think i've finally broken the plateau>it was just me skipping creatine for several days>i've actually gained weightit's over
My gymbro claims he eats icecream 2 or 3 times a week and it doesn't fuck with his weight loss or building, and it's purely because of his intake of protein (roughly 170g based on his height and weight). Any more knowledgeable people able to tell me if there's truth to this? Should I start pounding protein in the same way? Obviously I won't be eating a shitload of icecream but I'm curious of the protein can somewhat offset some occasional bad eating (I have a work dinner to attend and it's set menu).
>>77383373As long as he's under his daily calorie expenditure he can eat ice cream, so not impossible.
>>77383373theoretically, you can eat anything you want as long as it is within your calorie limit.high protein is recommended to get a grip on hunger mainly and to maybe enhance muscle building and prevent muscle loss.first time i'm hearing about your friend's bullshit.
>>77383378I did read about a study where they took a group of normies that just ate normal diets and did no exercise and it was found that adding protein lead to them losing 11lbs over 3 months despite making absolutely no other changes to their lives.
>>77383385>adding proteinwas it added or substituted?anyway, protein satiates people which would lead to eating less. it also has a higher thermic effect; the body needs to spend more calories to digest it than the other macros so its effective calories are lower.
>>77383387Added as a supplement (so protein powder I presume).
What was the biggest weight drop you guys had after a plateau? For me it was 4.7 pounds.
You guys ever had an irl gym bro who's well meaning and fit/buff but gave absolutely retarded advice or misinformation? I knew a guy who is 260 pounds of muscle but suggested to me to limit my fat intake to 40 grams max, minimize my carbs as much as humanly possible (even though im doing cardio and working out) and tells me 1 pound of muscle burns 50-60 calories a day.
>>77383396What's the misinfo exactly? Carbs are a bad thing for weight loss, fat is bad for weight loss and having muscle does burn calories.
>>77383397NTA, but 40 grams of fat daily is too low. If you dont consume a minimum of 55 grams of fat (heavily preferably good fats ofc) it leads to low T and hormonal imbalance. The no fat ever cause fat makes you fat idea is a very outdated concept in the 80s-90s. Muscle does burn calories but 50-60 a day is gymbro lore, the actual number is probably around 6-10 from scientific studies. The carbs thing is debatable, ig that specific gymbro is into keto but i personally feel that if youre actually working out in addition to your dieting then you need some amount of carbs to use as fuel for your exercise.
>>77383406In my mind I figured OP meant "fat" as in fat on a steak or something, not healthy fat like from nuts or fish. Similar with things like carbs, I think OPs perhaps misunderstood his friend if he wasn't very clear on specifics (as there are also good and bad carbs).As for the muscles, sure that's an inflated number, but muscle will still burn calories.
>>77383164it's easy to see how people create environments and echo chambers where their bad habits become the norm and they get worse and worse.It's a shame, but of course people can only change if they want to.
I binge ate strawberries yesterday. Had like 30 of them. At least I've I've stopped buying chocolate / ice cream or I would've ate that instead.
Am I fucking myself and wasting away without realizing it? Im 5'09 and 240 pounds and ever since I started dieting eating mostly only whole foods, it completely killed my appetite and I find myself eating only 1500 calories when I formally ate probably around 3100 before my diet. I hit my protein goals every day and do some light weight lifting 3-4 times a day, all that said am i still eating too little despite hitting my protein goals, and does it matter? I dont feel dizzy or lightheaded.
>>77380825Try mastic gum. Protip. Hold it under your tongue for a minute to soften it. Its good for your gut and teeth.
>>77383442>Im 5'09 and 240 poundsyou are not wasting away bro keep up the weight loss
>>77383486Mostly asking if im messing up my metabolism or get into a situation where 1500 cals is my new "normal" so when I lose more weight 1500 cals a day won't do anything or going a little bit above it will balloon my weight.
>>77383461>Try mastic gum.I did I couldn't stand the flavor. I'm fine with gum that loses flavor but mastic gum always has its flavor and annoyingly its one I don't enjoy.
I read that too aggressive weight loss schedule may fuck your body permanently, hampering your ability to generate new muscle. How true is that? I've been trying bit over a month quite aggressive pace of fat loss and I'm not sure if I should slow down? 110kg -> 95kg 4 week progress
I cant wait to get back to my exercises I was making good progress before
>TIL that potatoes are actually one of the healthiest sources of carbs.The Irish were onto something back then, its crazy to think that the calories literally triple or more cooking potatoes via deep fryer vs just baking it.

>>77383554how about stories of utter failure?I remember being forced to clothes shops becuase I had no smart clothes, I remember standing in the changing room feeling pathetic while my mum desperately rummaged around the shop looking for ANYTHING that might fit me.I might try on some pants that didn't fit and she would ask to see how they looked becuase she didn't believe the biggest size wouldn't fit.
>>77383505>How true is that?I think theres some confusion and people just use a bit of Chinese whispers to make it more dramaticLosing weight fast will just grab weight from anywhere, fat cells, muscle, essential fats etc.Try not to dip under 1500 on average and try to keep yourself closer to 1800 just to keep things going normally.>should slow down110kg-95 in weeks is pretty fast, I would heavily suggest slowing down.Here's the thing, you'll need to eat around 2000 calories every day for the rest of your life to not gain weightI've been eating at 1800 for close to a year or so, I know what recipes I can cook to fit that in, I can eat that and feel good.If you're just aggressively cutting to 600 for 3 months, you're going to slip back into bad habits when you're done. This is why people rebound SO OFTENYou need to create new sustainable habits, 600 isn't sustainable. >Its not a diet, it's a lifestyle change

We've never talked about her weight exactly, but we have spoken about weight in general.If we lived together, fuck me even if we lived closer, it would be a lot easier because I could encourage her more and keep her on track. Plus I would be doing it too so she wouldn't be doing it alone. We live about 20 miles apart so we don't see each other every day or anything and I know she doesn't have the drive to do it on her own, but I do feel once she started seeing progress she would be able to keep it up by herself.Recently I've encouraged her to walk when we're together as a form of light exercise and she seems to really enjoy it which lets me know it is possible to potentially do more. Gradually I've increased the length of the walks too which she seems to enjoy. Despite her size, she doesn't need to stop for rests, she's not out of breath, or any of that so I feel like that's a bonus. At the same time I don't want to push too much too quickly and make her hate it.I would appreciate any advice if you have any.

>>77383112anyone over 210 under 6 feet is fat if they haven't trained at all, you're slogging a lot of extra fat. People can lose 4-6 pounds easily in a week when they're over 300
>>77383554Haven't even started fully working out yet, still cutting down for another 10 pounds but there has been times when cashiers get a bit shy around me, especially my age
>>77383799Honestly, not much you can do other than continue to encourage her to go on walks with you, maybe even go on hikes or outdoor activities. If she is content with her life and you aren't with her, then we both know where this is eventually going to go.
There is nothing I feel like eating today and I was about to go eat something because "I have to eat SOMETHING" but then I realized I actually don't.
>>77383875I was worried that might be the case. We are going away to a popular hiking place (not to hike, just to get away for a bit and for "the views") so I'm sure I could convince her to do a bit more difficult of a trail once we were there.>If she is content with her life and you aren't with her, then we both know where this is eventually going to goDo you mean she'll go back to being fat because I'm not physically with her or do you mean she'll drop me for someone better if she gets in shape because we aren't together in a relationship? If it's the former I think she wouldn't let herself get back to the way she is now because of the benefits she'll feel from having lost weight. If it's the latter she really really wants to be in a relationship with me but I'm holding off for now. There's a few reasons behind that decision.I don't think she is content as much as she makes on neither which is why she flipflops so much. It seems more like she's trying to convince herself she's content because it's the easy option.Appreciate the reply bro.

Bros I have a big penis like almost 8 inches closer to like 7.75 when not peaking super horny and 6.5 inches around at the thickest part closer to 6 at the base. How do I get women to let me put it inside them?
Starting to lose my mind a bit here.Been on 1800 kcal for roughly two and a half month (I was even way lower the first 2 weeks due to thrombosed hemorrhoids)Decided to lose weight after that. I'm not obese but easily over 20% bf. 85 kilos.When I was younger i could easily cut down to 70 (even been down to 65). I'm now 30+, eating and doing everything like I did when I used to cut before.But I'm now at 86 kilos. Not once have I been under 84,5 kilos.The last month I've been out walking 10k every other day. Still fucking nothing.Is it all bullshit? I genuinly don't fucking get this.
>>77383938be <15% bfshow them your absthe sloots will want ur dask if they want sum fuksimple as
>>77383883This sounds like your metabolism has shut down.I don't think this is a good thing. I don't think extreme calorie restriction works if you end up becoming a slug and your TDEE goes down from a lack of movement.
>>77383948Dude just doesn't have an appetite today. Chill out.
i ate lunch today but felt exhausted the whole day after but i did more pushups and my lifts imrpoved, but i still felt squeezed drythis doesnt make sense
I've almost bounced back from the 4th of July. All that retained water and food storage is gone.It's looking like this will be a week with no actual movement downwards from my previous record low, but getting back to it within a week has been good for my mental perception of my progress.As long as that scale reads 299 by the morning of August 6th, I'll be happy.
>>77383906he means that if there's some element of her life she's content with, but you're looking at it and wanting her to change (especially if you and her don't live together for your own lifestyle choices to rub off on her easily), the odds of it going the way you want are not high.i'm wondering if she's had any past experiences with trying to lose weight that didn't work out. i think a lot of people who land on "i'm fine with how i am, this is just the way my body is built" and so on get there after suffering through some weight loss attempts that were ineffectual, too extreme, caused rebound weight gain, etc. if you know she's ever been seriously interested in losing weight, it could be a positive thing to let her know that it's totally possible for her to be in shape with the right methods and that you could help her lose weight in a way that will work and won't be unhealthy for her. it's just a matter of conveying that message in a way that doesn't come off like "i'm disgusted with your weight and need you to change".but she definitely needs to have an intrinsic motivation to lose weight for discussion like that to not be ineffective at best or hurtful at worst. like if she seems to only ever worry about her weight if people are staring/making comments, that's not too clearly a desire to be lose weight for its own sake, it's a desire to not be mocked and humiliated. it doesn't necessarily mean that she agrees with people who are making her feel humiliated for her weight that there's something wrong with her weight to begin with, if that makes sense.

>>77384003I get what he means now thanks.She was sort of telling me about her past last time and it all seemed to involve her weight. Mostly her mother calling her fat and things like that when she was younger. But I couldn't pay too much attention because I was concentrating on the road. Truth be told it was really the kind of thing she should have told me when we were sat down somewhere. I get the impression she wasn't that big when she was younger because she did actual dance and stuff and she's still incredibly flexible despite how big she is now.I'm going to get her to tell me again what she said about her mother calling her fat and things so I can try to work from there.>it could be a positive thing to let her know that it's totally possible for her to be in shape with the right methods and that you could help herThat's the other thing I'm planning. I've told her a few times I'm going to get back to how I was to gauge her reaction and it's always positive. It's never "I like you the way you are, stay like that" the way crabs do. She also really really enjoys us doing anything at all together so it might be easier than I thought to bring some extra fitness into it.>that's not too clearly a desire to be lose weight for its own sake, it's a desire to not be mocked and humiliatedThat's very true. I did misspeak when I said she only mentions it when people stare. That seems to bring it on more, sure, but she has mentioned it many times without that.She actually had/has a gym membership, but stopped going because she had no one to go with so she definitely has some of her own motivation. I think that's also a good thing to bring up to her actually come to think of it. It feels like she really just needs someone to give her a bit of extra motivation. At the same time I feel like she needs to bring it up and for me to latch onto it because it's a bit of a tender subject if I say it out of the blue.Appreciate the help very much. Thanks.

Holy fuck eating 'healthy' is expensive.

A lot of people and online sources say that red meat is bad for you and you should avoid it, even lean cuts or low fat ground beef, is that actually true or just outdated/misinformation? I like ground beef (96/4) way more than chicken so it'd be nice to know if its okay to eat it a couple of times a week instead of only chicken all the time.

I need your advice fellow /fat/ties. 175cm 25M I started with 92Kg at the end of april and now I'm down to 80Kg with 2000 calories and 120g protein on average, but for like the past month I feel so much weaker and more sluggish despite not really changing my diet or exercise routine. What do? I thought about upping the calories by 200 and supplementing potassium and magnesium more frequently, along with eating more fatty fish etc. Anyone got advice,personal anecdotes or knows if my plans are correct?

>>77383799I was 140kg and fucking loved walking, I could do that shit all day easy if I had some good music to listen to.The fact she enjoys walking is great and suggests to me that her problem was the same as mine.I had no idea about CICO, I had no idea how to cook, I had no idea how to anything.If you want to gaslight her, make her some shit and just give it to her when you see her.She might not even notice she's eating 600 calories for dinner and not 1200.If you want to make a serious change, maybe just a little >Hey, I know you said you're fine with your weight but I was going to try and cut down a little. If you ever decide you want to join me I'm happy to help. I know it can be a sensitive topic so I won't bring it up but I'm here. When I was 140kg I legit just assumed that was it, my body was broken and I just couldn't lose weight. I decided to eat the right things lost a bit then stalled despite walking a good 2-3 hours daily. For me, that was enough proof that shit just didn't work.

I never pay attention to women at the gym in the sense of any desire to interact with them. In my mind I simply consider that in x amount of time I will be in their league appearance wise and use it as some type of drive.

And I go even if there's no people there. So clearly there's more to it.
This picture inspired me to try and make brussells sprouts with garlic and onions. FUCK what a mistake that was. These things are the second most bitter awful fucking things I have ever had in my life, the first is bitter melon.I made a huge fuckload of them too.

Apparently my TDEE at 18% bf is 2700-2750. I'm coming down from like 40% bf, but I know once you get under 20% and start heading towards 12% the deficit should be smaller. So I'm thinking 2200kcal.
>>77384716Sauerkraut is unironically goated tho.
>>77384714Ever notice how every photogenic picture of sprouts have a steak-like crust? Yea, vegetables dont do that. Who knew something will eventually taste good if you use enough oil to practically deep fry it.
>>77384786Mine look like that though if I could them in the airfryer. But yeh, I do give them a quick spray of olive oil first, you're correct.

>>77384714I managed to save the sprouts by re-cooking them. Turns out you have to cook the shit out of them to the point of lots of burning to reduce that bitter taste. A quick nuke in the microwave like I do with broccoli and beans is not good enough.Not bad with some salt and lime juice.
>>77384991a shit ton of exercising and building muscles to eat those calories.Luckily, my enabler doesn't realize that having more muscle = higher TDEE.It's not an ideal way over cutting calories, but you have to make do with what you can.

>>77384364My doctor told me it increases risk of heart disease. Is this misinformation and not true?
>>77385290Like anything, it's about how much you have. Anything can be bad for you if you have too much of it. It's like how red wine is really bad if you have too much but having just one glass with dinner can be quite healthy and good for the heart.
>>77383164Fats are not good people. Most of them are depressed and deeply insecure and act as crabs in a bucket trying to sabotage people around them who they see getting fit and healthy. Don't fall for the meme that fat ugly people are kind and beautiful on the inside. Sure, a few of them are genuinely kind and supportive people but most of them are as ugly on the inside as they are on the outside >your fat anime friends were trying to shame and peer pressure you in to quitting your healthy life and diet quest. Is that what quality and supportive friends do?
>>77385293Ok so how much red beef is healthy and what cuts and preparation methods won't fuck up your heart? Does red meat offer anything beneficial that chicken, turkey, fish and tofu don't?
>>77385299About half a kilo max per week is the limit, beyond that it can be unhealthy. 100g of red meat has about 30g of protein, so I have maybe 200g of the stuff in week. I prefer chicken more myself though, I seem to have bad luck with red meat that has chewy parts or fatty parts.
>>77385303So if red meat doesn't offer any benefits that chicken and fish don't, isn't it simply better to just not eat red beef to keep your risk of heart disease as low as possible? I say this as someone extremely gifted at slow BBQing beef ribs, and a longtime enjoyer of rare steak. I've completely cut beef along with many other foods out of my life for health reasons and my life has gotten better, not worse. I miss haribo more than I do red meat.
>>77385311There's a lot more to red meat but I didn't realize you wanted a full nutritional list from me. Red meat has some things you won't get in chicken or fish and will really struggle to get from just vegetables, so even just a small amount of red meat (even just 100g) is still very good to have. As I said originally, it's all just about much you have. Less is better, but some is better than none.

>>77385448what's the issue, chief?
>174>down 56 lbs from my max>more worried about my health than everI don't feel any better
How much weight loss approximately should one have if they've been on on Ozempic for 3 years? My friend started off at 400, is at 300 lb now but I feel like he should be less.
>>773856341~2lbs a week
>>77385646Okay. Yeah, I suspected for a long time he's been sabotaging himself.
>>77385634it doesn't work on everyone
>>77385634he could have been under 200 by now with natural cutting weight loss
>>773856343 years? He should’ve been 150lbs by now, I lost 20lbs in a month without ozempig, just doing psmf, if u ain’t losing atleast 1kg a week u ain’t tryin
trying to get my daily steps in is soooo fucking annoying rn>hot af outside and inside literally melting all i got is a fan>get on my walking pad, try to find something to watch while i walk for 1 hour>everything is boring and shitAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>77385766It’s easier to eat less than to focus on daily steps, just make sure you’re lifting to preserve muscle
>>77385783i just wanted to make sure i do everything to be healthy everyone says walking atleast 1 hour daily is best for health not just losing fat. i was lifting but i stopped this week as my gym fucking sucks i hate it so much and im gonna sub to a new gym next week on pay day as im broke rn.
>>77385766Just go outside anon, it's not that difficult
>>77385807did you miss the part where its fucking scorching hot out rn?
>>77385813You won't die
>>77385766I too noticed im doing less steps, and doing them slower. It's 35C here today and was yesterday too. Last night I decided to do my walk at 11pm and it was 25C. But no sun so it made it a bit easier.
>>77385830yeah ive been trying to do them late at night too when its cooler, i also found a 24 hour gym so i go there at night, going out to the gym and being covered in sweat by the time i get there isnt ideal.
>>77385171To lose fat. You all have given great guidance. Thanks for everything.
Almost want to stop progressive overload lifting just to see how much weight is actually coming off weekly as opposed to scale stalling more often than not but at the same time i don't want to lose my gains because my chest and arms are kinda fucking banging right now even while still technically obese

How accurate are fitness watches? I think it's way over-estimating calories burned from working out, walking, biking. I should have lost more weight last month based off calories in and calories out that I record.
>>77386009never. ever. EVER. count calories burned from ANY physical activity into your deficit. EVER. nothing can be accurate, and most devices are INSANELY inaccuarate. always go with sedentary, and even that is an estimate, most TDEE calculators can be anywhere from 10 to 30% off. Also reminder, a lot of products can also be 10 to 30% off on what calories they report. even if its just meat or rice etc. So the only real way to make sure youre eating the right amounts is to try a number track your weight over 1-2 weeks and adjust.
>>77386009Calorie burned estimates are never to be trusted, they almost always overestimate. Especially when trying to eke out how many extra calories you can get away with in a day. Best to just stick to a consistent deficit and not try to balance it every day based on work.Honestly fitness watches are kind of a meme in general, even when it comes to tracking steps. I just use mine to track workout time/laps and my heart rate now.
>have some frozen chicken nuggets in the freezer>check label>15g carbs per four (4!) nuggsAAIIEEE
>>77386017>Honestly fitness watches are kind of a meme in general, even when it comes to tracking stepsYeah, I just go for a walk 1 hour every day. That's it. I keep it simple, no autistic obsessing over how much i burned or how many steps. 1 hour and done. I eat 2000 calories, I lift heavy shit to failure with high intensity till my muscles give up full body split 3 times a week so that hits every muscle group 3x weekly. I eat around 1g of protein per lb of target body weight and thats it. It's kinda working but its hard to tell how well cause i retain a lot of water weight due to how pumped my muscles get at the gym, creatine and the fact that i drink shitloads of water.
>>77386017>>77386015Yeah, based on the numbers this makes 100% sense.
>>77386023It's frustrating but you just gotta trust the process and keep at it. Yeah maybe you're not losing weight as fast as the sedentary starvemaxxers reporting being 5lbs down every week on the fatty contest, but when you're lifting the scale's never going to tell you the whole story. You might plateau for a whole month, but while your guts going down your arms and legs are going up. When it's all said and done you're going to be looking and feeling good, with strength to boot.
>>77386032Yeah I know, especially because it's around the same calories I used to eat when I was much skinnier, I used to walk around the same time and I didnt even lift back then. So it should 100% be working, I just started ignoring the scale I almost dont weight myself at all, I trust the process and just grinding, if i weigh myself and see a stall I'll get demotivated, but it's fine I know from personal experience this deficit and workout WILL work. Maybe slower than the autistic starvemaxxers but at least I feel good, if was to drop my deficit more id have no room for carbs too fuel my lifts.
Made lemon taters today. Potatoes cut up into wedges along with garlic, oregano, olive oil, dill, salt, chicken bouillon and lemon juice. Cover with boiling water and bake in the oven at 450F for an hour and a half.God damn I can't wait to eat them, I don't think this is going to help me lose weight.
>>77386061greek roast potato enjoyer i see. that shit goes so well with feta cheese
holy shit 11 more hours until i break my 7 days fast. fucking christ i'm never doing this again i feel like shit, wanna puke and eat at the same time.this better be worth it and get me out of the fucking plateau and then some though
>jog for 5 minutes>reward myself with a handful of chocolate chips
>>77386079its really an 8 day fast because the only thing you'll be able to digest when you break it is one egg for the day
I FUCKIN HATE PLATEAUS
>>77386195nah i'm used to fasting but only 3-4 days at best but this shouldn't be a problem. i'm planning to break it with some tomatoes, low cal ham, and mozzarella and then a bit later frozen veggies and chicken thighs. might throw in a monster too
Fatty ContestBostonBeachedWhale301lbsVery little progress this week, but I was also bouncing back from having a lot to eat and drink on the 4th of July. I'd gone up like 7 or 8 pounds and this whole week has been that weight coming off at about 1.5lbs per day. Definitely messed with my mental state for a bit, but now that it's over, we're back on track. I've got 4 weeks until the company outing, so if I somehow fail to lose 2 pounds in 4 weeks, it's time to walk into traffic.
fucking thigh chafingI'm not full blown fat just barely overweight but this is fucking annoying do skinny people get less friction?
>>77385970Cope and seethe, fat boy.
>>77382128Same but for 21%, gonna have to figure out a way to get to the gym more I think.
>>77382524I had that for a bit also on keto, I think my deficit was too much for me at the time. I took a little break and came back with some better staple meals and haven't had it happen again.
>>77382524i dont think its because of my dietafter exercise i always feel sad and my self esteem over the last few months improved but sometimes everything just crashes and i feel like i am a burden to everyone
>grandma is baking a cake again
>>77386197Plateaus are a meme and never happened to me when I was on a 1000 deficit, I was losing 200 grams minimum everyday, you guys r just eating too much
>>77384204Just buy frozen veggies. I can get frozen broccoli for 1.15 a bag from aldi and it's a massive """side""" for 2 meals.
>>77386452Plateaus are definitely real and 1000cal/day long term is unrealistic/unnecessy/detrimental for most people.
>>77382524Weight loss is complex, its not just about CICO, by that I mean there's is a mental component to it as well. Granted you've given very little info about your intake so its impossible to judge but either you're in taking too little, in taking the wrong macros and or you have a mental disorder that is antagonizing your diet.
>>77386474id argue it really isnt that complex, i remember when i was much younger like 10 years ago i gained some weight all i did was switched the stuff i ate to lower calorie options like>sweetener in my coffee>zero cal soda>whole weat stuff>low fat meatsdidnt count calories, just walked a lot, i remember after a few months i went from a size Large to medium.
>>77385087You're probably safe to increase the weight
>>77385087You can always up the weight, as long as youre hitting around 10 per set and the last reps are challenging you can keep increasing i dont remember the name of this progressive overload but it goes like>X weight till you can do 10-12 reps per set>Increase, if you can hit at least 8-10 per set keep doing it till 10-12>rinse repeat
>>77386197PUT DOWN THE FORK
>week 2 of the plateauIt's pissing me off so goddamn much. I was dropping weight every week for a quite while and now it's stopped flat and shows me as being the exact same number every day on the scales. I even started eating less, lifting more and adding protein (the amount based on 1g per lb of weight). I'm eating only 1400cal a day at this rate and that's the recommended for losing 2lbs a week.Will I just wake up one morning and suddenly be thinner when the water weight drops off or what?
>>77386605I plateaued for like 4 months lmaoYou'll be fine
>>77386659>I plateaued for like 4 months lmaoHow does that even happen? Were you very overweight and had a lot of fat? 4 months sounds like hell
>>77386666I think I was just eating too much

>>77386452i have a hard calorie limit of 1500kcal per dayi definitely plateuad at 85kgs for 3 weeks, my weight would always go down and immediately jump back afternow i am down to almost 82kg 2 weeks later
