>>77390430You can't outpace a shitty diet, sorry.
>google how many calories in a dry cup of brown rice>it says 700>believe it>portion as such>wow this is tiny>a bit later>check nutrition label>it's only 360 calorieswhy the fuck were they this off?
>>77390430My solution to this was to move some eating to late at night so then you get to spend the whole day excited for it
>>77390455because dry brown rice has about 360 calories per 100g and a cup has about 200g, so 700 calories per cup of uncooked rice is right.I this the reason why burgers can not lose weight? because of their retard cup system ?
I need to lose weight but I keep drinking beers daily
I think the plateau might be broken, I suddenly dropped a pound overnight after being stuck on the same weight for 3 weeks. Either that or I took a bigger shit than usual this morning but it didn't seem very big to me.
>>77390471>retard cup system I found this out when weighing a cup of cereal. It was 55g, while the serving weight was 38g.
i have a problem where i keep overeating even when i feel like im going to throw up, and cant even stand. am i mentally ill??
>>77390430Honestly, ever since I started shedding weight, I had the problem where I would buy too much of a portion and struggle to finish it at all compared to before, despite the fact my diet didn't change, just the calorie restriction did, I advise you to try to move less and eat less to make your stomach smaller, because atp I'm around 90kg but eating over 2000kcal sometimes feels genuinely hard now which I love

I'm trying out fasting for the first time this weekend. I definitely feel pretty hungry and low energy, but it's bearable by keeping myself occupied and drinking diet soda and tea. I've mostly been playing video games and have done some walking, but no intense exercise. I've been fasting since Saturday morning, but might break the fast early tonight if I can't sleep due to hunger. I'll be back to normal eating tomorrow at work.5'9"177 lbs
>>77390451You absolutely can outpace a shitty diet, the thing is you can't use exercise as an excuse to eat even more.>>77390430Bicycle three times a week for 2-3 hours and you'll drop the pounds like crazy, no need to start dieting.

Anyone here considering a tummy tuck?Was not too pleased looking down my shirt while doing push ups to be greeted by a distended onahole.I still need to get into proper strength training. 142lbs (from 214lbs 3-4 years ago) 5'6'', I'm aiming for 120-124lbs.
>>77390471>>77390502wait you guys have me schizoing outIf the nutrition label says 1/2 cup (50g dry), 180 calories per serving. Then if I fill a dry measuring cup that's 360 calories right? I don't see any other possible interpretation
>>77390742teach me fellow manlet. how many calories fo you consoom per day?
>>77390430I want to say eating better and less is piss easy, but I've been getting a lot more social as of late: going out to eat with friends.It has absolutely wrecked my discipline. I ate like 9 or 10 stale tortilla chips and some little chunks of cooked chicken, then a piece of taffy. The screaming in my head finally stopped, but I felt nothing by disappointment 5 minutes later.
>>77390770just use the scale and measure in grams anon. Cups are a shitty way to measure
>>77390771Before I started exercising like 2 months ago, I'd say about 1500-1800 calories, maybe lower. I'm not that a very precise number cruncher, I just make sure I never get close to 2000cal per day. Nowadays, maybe around 1800cal.I don't really know what I'm doing.
>>77390770wait now the internet is telling me that if you buy a box of rice in america that is "instant rice" which is nutritionally different from real rice? The fuck? I just bought the boxes because the bags annoy me
honest to god, the more weight i lose, the more i realize that clavicular was right

>>77390816Dang, man. What's your weight?I'm admittedly going through a bit of a plateau myself. Though, I'm fine with it as I want to focus more on building muscle. A girl from work wants to go to the gym with me, so I'm finally going to have the courage to hit the gym. I really want to start weight training.
>>77390822185. i shouldn't be plateauing at all at this weight so i want to try a harsher cut to see if i manage to lose weight or not.make sure to fuck her good

>>77390964losing 1kg a week is insanely hard and often near dangerous levels, id suggest 1800 to start off if you're completely new to all this and then week by week taper it down by 50/100 until you hit 1500 1500 is going to be miserable but just remember what you're working towards. we have the same height, i started at 90kg and gradually worked my way to 69kg at about 1.7kg a week (i was doing extreme cardio and 1400 a day). hope you're ready to buy new clothes, underwear, literally everything. it's worth it.
>>773910420.7kg, not 1.7k lmao oops
I’ve lost over 25kg and no girls have asked me out yet ..
>>77391046once you're at an appropriate weight, it's what you *can* do with your body now that it's an option(prereq: gym and fit)>cosplay/renfaire>post gym pics on instagram>dress nice>go to bars and hit on girls (way easier if you dress nice/have a good physique)
>>77391042I lost 4kg this weekvery likely a lot of water weight sure but stilldoable imo
I'm 99kg trying to hit atleast 70kg or 60kg if possible (5'10). I've already lost like 2.7kgs over the last 3 weeksIt's kind of frustrating how many calories there are in a protein shake and if I wanna keep my gains or even grow em I essentially have to have a lunch of a protein shake and nothing else.Anyone else have any experience with this?
>>77391052if you're at an insane starting weight, losing more than 1kg a week is the norm, especially when you're transitioning to a cleaner diet of less carbs/salt yeah, just don't expect that same rate of progress as you start entering the overweight category
>>77391053protein shakes are on average 160, you can them for as low as 130. they're some of the least calorie intense items unless you're mixing them with some other crazy stuff. your goal means about 90g of protein shake is about enough, that's 500 calories max bro...
>>77391037Probably because I fucking "gained" like a kilo from eating sushi with basedsauce. I certainly didn't overeat 3.5k calories.
>>77391058you'll be aight my nigga, I came back from Japan last month where I ate nonstop carbs and gained 8 pounds, within 3 days I lost them all
>>77391054I'm at 94kg now (195cm), it's just that K hopped back on the weight loss train after a bunch of time off where I gained 10kg in 6 months like a retard I think I'm gonna try to shoot for 80kg
>gorged on 300 calories of chocolate and ruined my deficit for the dayfuck fuck fuck fuck fucki know i should just keep my mouth shut for the rest of the day and i can do it but it is so fucking disappointing
>>77391066anon its only 300, its ok
>>77391066I think you should remember that this is a marathon and not a race, we all fuck up occasionally
>>77391056609 kcal, 100g of protein a day, not counting other sources.I'm keeping my intake to 1700ish every day So it is basically 1/3rd of my total intake.That's...fine right?
And another thingShould I rely on what my fitbit tells me I Burned in a workout? Like I'm not burning 400kcal in a gym sesh, right?
>>77391072yeah it's fine, I don't know why you're acting like a single protein shake or three is going to rape your calories, it's only a 1/3rd at best... you can substitute it with steak or chicken thighs if you hate the shake that much but it's one of the most efficient ways of just getting things done, you don't have to follow a strict regiment even with your protein goals, the idea is for weight loss to be sustainable so that when you slip up once a while you won't act like >>77391066>>77391075no, on any weight loss journey you should never be counting physical activities into your calorie limit unless it's a 10k step walk, in which you can take the extra 4k and convert it to calories for a extra serving of chips (it's also wildly inaccurate but the real reason is because niggas will walk 20k then say they can pig out and accidentally binge a extra 1k calories)
>>77391080Alright, thank you. You are very helpful and kind
>>77391094np, don't go too hard on yourself, it's a marathon at the end of the day. I forgot to answer, yes, 1/3rd of your calories being solely protein is extremely normal (if you're super gym oriented, it'd be closer to 3/4th), unironically if you eat natural whole foods, a healthy diet will hit around that mark anyway. only focus on protein goals if you're actually working out though, what you're doing (hopefully) is body recomping so keep at it. if you find it too hard, just ignore the protein goal and purely focus on losing weight (you'll have a more prominent skinnyfat physique this way) but it's recoverable so it's not a big deal, find what works best for youI've developed a minor eating disorder due to being extremely restrictive on my weight loss diet, I cannot eat chicken thighs or breast without gagging a little from obsessively eating them
>>77390430I wanted to do OMAD again but, I decided to drink a big low cal shake before bed time so I can sleep better, still on 1500 cal just moved 300cal right before sleepy time....
>>77391103idk most protein goals seem way to high for me in general, I would have to eat like 500-700 gramms of chicken a day to reach 160-200g .... fuck this
>>77391103>what you're doing (hopefully) is body recompingYes! Another 30 weeks of training to failure and eating at a deficit. I may not lose a lot of weight overall, but I hope I am able to fit into my older pants atleast. My knees started screaming at me during a 120kg squat and I realised I have to make a change before it's too late.
>>773911131.32 - 2.42 g protein / kg of IDEAL BODY WEIGHT (if your goal is 70kg, then calculate based on that)1.3 - 1.8 g protein / kg = most normal people on weight loss doing some minor to medium exercises (2-3 a week)2.4 g protein / kg = 5 days a week gymbro tier (please dont do this on a weight loss marathon though lmao)>>77391126one of the hallmarks of "it's working" for body recomp is if you can keep doing reps of the same weight while losing weight (it's proof you're losing more fat than muscle). make sure to measure your waist or your belt notches regularly, nothing feels better than outgrowing a belt :) you got this

>>77391129>1.32 - 2.42 g protein / kg of IDEAL BODY WEIGHT (if your goal is 70kg, then calculate based on that)That'd send me broke kek. I'm struggling to find the correct amount of protein daily since calories start to become a problem. I've had to start using protein powder just so I don't surpass my calorie deficit for the day.>>77391199>22% bodyfat at 72kgThat's really strange, I'm 25% bodyfat at around the same height but I weigh over 10kg more. Does bodyfat just vary from person to person?
what are good sets to do daily if you are losing weight?im currently walking 20k steps / 14km~ 40 crunches and 40~ +40~ weight lifts at moderate stress to not lose muscles from going aggressive calorie deficit
>>77391305I'm losing fat everywhere except in my belly, and body fat measures belly size. also, I am extremely sedentary and lazy
>>77391308up your protein (while also not increasing your calories) and that can help offset muscle loss when doing a moderately aggressive deficit. it'll help keep your body from eating away muscles when losing weight and just have it mostly eat the fat.
I've been 500~700 kcal below my TDEE I should probably move my ass a bit but it feels even more tedious than dieting. Do I really need to do steps?
>>77391427exercise is what keeps my from munching, if you spend 1-2 hours every day walking or gym you end up thinking that if you eat shit that you wasted that time instead and end up not eatingit's basically ozempic if you value your time
>>77391436I don't have problem abstaining from eating, I just prefer investing my time into more meaningful activities than walking around the block.
>>77391449if you are a fattie i wouldnt say walking is wate of time, maybe time consuming but it's not like you lose out doing actual cardio, since that what it is assuming you are out of shape fattie

Down another 0.2kg/ half a pound this morning. I still have 30kgs to go. This is just a beginning. Looks like this will take a whole year. I just have to undo all the fucked up food habits i made in the last 5 years. I also have to smoke less. I can do it. I just have to take it easy one day at a time. Dont mind my blogposting, i just have to have some kind of a mental diary of my progress cause this will take a long long time and i have to stay patient

My stomach is definitely shrinking, getting fuller from far less.Kinda curious how much I could eat of my old ginormous fast food sloppa orders, but not going to test that for obvious reasons.
>>77391674It's really liberating. I cracked a couple times and nostalgically partook of a couple gratuitous meals I used to make. I would make it half way or two-thirds through my special brew of slop before just chucking it down the trash.I also down know how I used to eat a large meal fr Chick-fil-A, drown it down with a couple sugary drinks to make room for a couple honey buns.
anyone not tracking calories and still losing?
>>77391706Yep. I tracked the first couple of weeks to get a good idea of how many calories I was taking in, as well as made adjustments where needed, but now that I've measured all the stuff I regularly eat I can make a good guesstimate of how much calories I'm taking in without needing to be autistic about it.Only time it ever really gets dicey is when I'm eating out with people at places where the menu doesn't give calorie counts, but I'll usually skip meals or eat less to compensate for those days.
anyone here ever reduce their deficit and go all-in on trying to recomp when they became skinnyfat instead of just fat? i want to do this but curious if anyone has any anecdotes to share or before/afters
Posting to see if someone is or has been in the same situation. Been with the gf for a while now. At some point I lost a lot of weight (went from 100-ish kg to 80). I don't care about my own weight because I was happy back then and I'm happy right now, it's just that I felt I was out of shape and wanted to swim and the weight loss came naturally. Gf has slowly but surely been gaining weight. She does female youtuber routines which look like shit. Refuses to pick up more than 4 kg because she "doesn't want to look like a female version of the hulk". Went for a 15 km hike last week and she was out of breath from the 5th meter. We've talked about her situation a few times, she then tries a new routine for 2 weeks, notices no instant weight loss and goes back to mess around doing nothing.Has anyone been in the same situation with their SO? It's pretty sad that I complain about this kind of stuff but she has the body of a 30 year old mom without the benefits of...you know, having kids. Any insight would be appreciated
>>77391058If the spike lasts for day or two i wouldn't worry. Same happened to me, ate salty food on Saturday but the kilo was gone this morning.
I hate that spontaneously eating an apple makes me feel guilty now because I went over my caloric budget. "Damn that Apple was 330kcals, now I'm at 1853 for a day, I'm such a worthless fatty."I hate how everything has a caloric cost I have to keep track of now. It takes something I never thought about before and turns it into this mental weight I'd rather not have on me.Every time I sit down to eat now I'm running the numbers in the background. It used to just be "what do I feel like eating today" and maybe "how much does it cost, am I getting a good deal?" that informed what I ate, but now in addition to those its also have "how does this fit into my calorie budget" and "how many carbs does this put me at?" and "what's my daily protein at, have I had 130g yet?" and "How many grams of saturated fat is in this?" and "shit I can't have this, it would put me over my sodium for the day"It just makes eating mentally fucking exhausting, its too much to keep track of, like I'm taking an exam or seeing if my soul is pure enough to pass through the fatty filter. I can see why people just eating nothing but chicken and broccoli, it bypasses that mental load by just eating the same thing forever, must really simplify things to eat like a robot. :Beep Boop: 130g of protein, chicken breast, boneless skinnless, flavorless, boiled, broccoli, boiled, perfect monotonous slop, perfect macros, can't wait until tomorrow when I can eat it again, for a monthly treat I might shake things up by having turkey and cauliflower :Beep Boop: This shit is soul crushing.
>>77391810what fuck kind of apples are you eating that are 330kcals?
>>77391816candy apple with rainbow sprinkles and cream
>>77391810at the beginning you dont know about any of the calories, but eventually it will get better also once you go back to maintenance you unlock like an extra 500kcal minimum so that also makes things easier
>>77391816a 651g pink ladythey're 51kcal per 100g now do the calculation yourself, fatty.
>>77391835I didn't know they make apples in Football size.
>>77391752The curious part is that I look leaner than last week.The abdominal V is coming out and hints of my abs start to appear, but I admit my belly looks bloated. Fuck sodium I wasn't aware how much inflamation that shit causes.
>>77391305The anon in that pic is skinnyfat.
>>77391674>>77391682Your hormones (ghrelin, leptin, insulin and etc) are returning to normal levels. It really is an addiction to eating slop.
>>77391674>>77391682People act like its all personal choices and individual responsibility or whatever, and that the food isn't the problem, that WE are and WE just need to be BETTER and the innocent food companies aren't to blame its us for being reprehensible fatties, its all on us for being lazier and more gluttonous than any generation before us, but I swear once you're off the slop you quickly realize processed slop, the shit they advertise to you constantly from the second you're born, all your favorite brands you've had since childhood, all of which are owned by like the same handful of food industry mega corps, all of it makes you want to eat more slop and they designed it to be as unsatisfying and hunger inducing as possible and when you quit the slop for just a few months you start feeling full on less food, and your energy levels improve so you weren't actually lazy, the slop made you that way, and you're not craving ridiculous portions anymore so you're not a gluttonous pig, the slop made you that way, its almost like it wasn't our fault at all, its almost like all this shit was engineered to do this shit to us. And the food mega corps are entirely to blame for the obesity epidemic. At least it feels that way once you're off the slop.
>>77391847>The curious part is that I look leaner than last week.Yeah i have noticed this too, honestly have no idea if the water gathers to your muscles similarly to creatine or not.In my experience its not the sodium in its self but if you suddenly eat way more than you're used to, like with carbs etc
>>77391843When you start to actually measure your food you quickly realized the servings they put on the packaging is often very deceptively optimistic. It'll say 75kcals for a serving, then they define a serving as one 150g apple so you just assume that's like the average, but when you actually weigh them yourself they're often 400~500g or more.
i have been dieting for two months and lost around 7 kgs, i am eating healthy and getting the protein i need while hiking/ walking as much as possible but i feel like shit all the fucking time ...is this normal does anyone feel suicidal even with progress ? should i quit if fat loss won’t solve my mental health issues ?
>>77391935I weigh my apples every day. I really want to see that 400 to 500g apple because that would be absolute freak of nature..

>>77391952just go on a calorie counter with your weight minus z kg
>>77391939Did getting fat solve your mental health issues? I'm down about 70 lbs. It's not easy, I still have bad days, but I'm definitely doing better than I was at the beginning or even the middle. Also if you haven't already go to a GP for a physical and have them do blood work and all that.
>>77391941>want to see thatMe too. Large Granny Smiths are about 240g and they are quite dense.
Why the fuck arent all of you disgusting fatasses on ozempic?

>find old grip strength trainer in my desk at work i got back when i started going to the gym at the beginning of last year>originally hurt to use it>max it out at 130lbs and go at it like crazy with 0 problems now>accidentally broke the handle on the men's urinal at work flushing the other day>snapped my glasses cleaning them this morningI've become unaware of my own strength gains and am becoming a destructive force
>>77391674I plan to eat this slop meal once I reach my goal weight of 75kg around February just to see how much I could genuinely eat of it at a healthy weight(I'm at 90kg now and losing like 1kg a week), basically it was 20 McNuggets, 2 Burger Menus, a Vanilla and Strawberry Shake, I think I ate this when I was around 120 kg around summer 2020
>>77391997nta, what's your diet now right now? my goal is 75 as well and around 97 now
>>77391941>>77391974
>>77391987Sparkling water+not eating before a certain time of the day, but frankly I can easily be satiated with under 2000kcal nowadays so this is mostly not a problem surprisingly, if you want to not eat then try to do an activity(doesn't have to be physical) which requires a lot of focus and thinking
>>77391982Can't afford that shit.
>>77391972Congratulations on dropping the weight! , and being fat didn’t solve the it helped cope and keep things in check by eating out and being drunk all the timei should go to a psychiatrist once and for good ...i wonder if i should spend my last few bucks on a gym subscription and get a job, worse that can happen is wasting time and that is still better than killing myself i guess ?
>>77391982ozempic bodies look like shit not gonna lie
>>77392004My diet isn't consistent and it's pretty shit macrowise, I eat around 2000-2200kcal a day but mostly because I take 120-150min walks every day besides Sunday, it consists of watermelon, yoghurt, cooked meals like stews and meat with pasta with slop like sausage rolls, croissants filled with ham and cheese and bureks inbetween, however I limit the slop by consuming less of it
>>77392011>, if you want to not eat then try to do an activity(doesn't have to be physical) which requires a lot of focus and thinkingSolid advice.
>>77392015Yes it's better. I got a part time job after being a neet for years, the transition was rough at first, but as much as I hate to admit it, having structure in my life where I am forced to interact with normies has actually been good for me.
>>77391990>op rips his dick off tonight
>>77391199you need to lift
>>77392034thanks for the motivation i am going to apply for jobs tonight
>>77391982I can afford it, but most people I see that use Ozempic look weak as fuck and I also want to make some gainz while losing weight.Also since I stopped ordering food all the time I am also making some serious money gainz which is double motivating.
>>77392157left wasnt even that fat
i need to go for my post-lunch walk but kitty is resting contently on my lap so i cant get up
What would happen if I only ate 1000 calories a day but comprised exclusively of chocolate and candies and skipped lunch and dinner completely? Would I get fatter or thinner?
>>77392232you would get thinner but you would have horrific problems with blood sugar regulation and severe deficiencies
>>77392232You would lose weight and your muscles too. Losing weight is just pure thermodynamics, trick is in losing fat not muscle.
>>77392232at least add like 500kcal worth of protein shakes
>>77392232You'd technically lose weight yes, but your diet would be total dogshit and do nothing positive for your body.
>>77392232diet without salt and potassium you would get massive headaches and you probably faint really too easilyprobably different deficiencies that do not come to mind too that would fuck your kidneys, liver and heart
fitbros, are you still exercising in the intense heat?
>>77392340Yes. I try to get everything done as early as possible.
>>77392341>>77392340getting all hot and sweaty and salty. yum.
>>77392340yeah, but there is like no airflow in my room which kills me during exercises but i still push throughlifts gotten better recently as well
>>77392340>intense heatain't so bad now, pretty comfy. the heatwave 2 weeks ago was pure hell though
>>77392357What place is this, sounds like heaven
>>77392358>sounds like heavenlmao, if only. eastern evropa in the mountains
>start potassiummaxxing a couple days ago>piss gallons with a thirst to match>wake up completely bloat-free every morningit was that easy?!?
This sucks bros, im constantly sweating enough to wet my clothes and im running out of clothes. I need to do laundry! In a constant state of overheating. This is a plus tho, helps me handle the heat and just ride it out. Body begins to sweat and cools me back down. Its a nice feeling. even if my underwear ends up having a wet spot.
>>77392357I preferred the heatwave to this sticky, cloying hell tbqh.t. also eastern evropa
>>77392373EE is just pure suffering desu. i think the heatwave made me retain more water and i plateaued for almost 3 weeks during it

>tfw got the lap band
>>77390522When I used to do this it was because my life sucked and overeating was the only way I could feel something.
>>77392449Visceral fat, you probably have a lot of it left and it usually only starts to go away after youve taken care of your subcutaneous fat.
i broke down and ate a tiny ice cream cup today, fist time ive had something like that in quite some time now cant tell if its the slop or my own anxiety but i feel kinda jittery and anxious now. either way i dont think ll be doing that again it feels like ive almost developed a genuine fear of eating slop. perhaps this will be to my advantage
>>77392492Sugar is like cocaine if your body isn't used to it in a concentrated form frequently
>>77391982>you should do drugs
>>77391982My gf is on ozempic. I don't know if she's ever going to get down to a normal weight tho. This shit's over rated.

>>77392492>i broke down and ate a tiny ice cream cup todayLmao
>>77392492This is why you shouldn't go from one extreme to another, you can eat slop, but eat less quantity and less frequently
Just woke up mid sleep and hungry as a wolf. Didnt even eat that much, maybe 700 calories and tommorow morning my progress of 4 days will probably be gone. What the fuck is going on?
>>77392529Fuck I can't even walk a few steps without getting dizzy and feeling like I need to throw up. I think I gave myself low blood sugar. I brought a few bread sticks with me for this reason but they didn't do shit.
walked 8k steps and didn't eat over my 1600 calorie limit, feeling pretty good about myself bros

>>77392881Alright, fair enough. Was just curious to see if they were actually someone here or just using someone's image.
>>77392621I lied down for a while until I had the energy to limp over to a convenience store and chugged a bottle of apple juice. It still took like half an hour before my core energy returned and I had to ride back while taking breaks every 10-15 minutes to stop my legs from cramping up.Finally just got home and did a ketone pee test, it came back 8mmol/L. I was probably in ketoacidosis for a while.
My man titties are gonna be screaming in the morning after that workout
>>77392880Beatsaber is pretty cool when you mod it with BS manager, but it was kind of a bitch connecting my PC with my Quest because Wireless was fucked so I had to use USB and Meta is a garbage company that wants you to sign up for everything.....

It tells me I have 16.4% BF, yet I am at least 25% BF, is there seriously no way to calculate BF besides a trained guess with my eyes?
I've been a longtime lurker on these threads and /fph/, but I always thought my case wasn't that serious until I was diagnosed with insulin resistance last week.My initial goal is to lose 5 kg (11 lbs in burger units). I'm going to try to walk a bit every day and track my calories.May the shame of tripfagging and blogging help me stick with this ordeal.
>>77390408>lose weight >woman coworkers start smiling at me and making small talkwas it always really that easy?

>>77393451>1.2k kcalare you a woman or a midget?
>>77393451I wouldn't recommend going under 1500kcal, its fucking miserable, just walk an extra hour or two a day if you need a bigger deficit.
>>77393453I'm really trying to lose weight. Pretty much every meal is something high in protein too. According to the calorie counter it's the limit if I want to lose 1lb per week.>>77393456I just run out of time or energy by the end of work and the other shit I need to take care of. I'm lucky there's a gym next door since I can manage to drag my ass practically to bed after I'm done working out.
>decide to eat very few carbs yesterday>filled the rest of my calorie budget with meat?felt low energy the entire day>wake up today>feel like absolute shit>walking takes like 2x the effortHoly shit I never knew how important carbs are, im not even super fat or anything

>>77393117Based replyer
>>77393295People who say shit like this need to be raped. Like how little perspective do you have
Having a hard time deciding between 2 different gyms to join>both same distance>both open 24 hours>both same price>1 is a huge corporate chain, has great range of equipment for isolation workouts like curl machines etc>other is smaller chain, focuses more on having free weights and platesI think as a newbie without having an instructor id benefit more from using machines for isolation where I cant fuck up the form right?
>>77393648True, that's the benefit of machines. Hard to fuck up. Not to say you can't, I fucked up my adductor on the hack squat machine and had to take a break from leg movements for a few months. And then there are the dudes that snap their bicep going too hard on preacher curl machines. Whereas free weight workouts are going to hit your stabilizing muscles as well which is better for more practical every day use strength gains. They just take a little bit more finagling to get used to when it comes to bailing out of a failed rep or not being wobbly on the eccentric movement.Imo I recommend smaller gyms. In my experience they're a more social place full of supportive types who will help out or shoot the shit.Chain gyms like planet fitness I equate to like a walmart. They're usually packed with older folk and not much of a community vibe to it. But if you want to just get in, do your thing, and get out, can't go wrong with either or.
>>77393648ye machnies are goated man, here is what I do and I have pretty decent results I think, just do progressive overload and you will be fine with machines, the myth that you need to do free weights to grow is retarded
>>77393740my bad one of the pull ups is supposed to be wide obviously :P
>>77393740been doing assisted chin ups and they are a bitch to progress, my biceps feel like they are gonna burst by the 3rd set.
>>77393272Yes but plappers
>>77393740why do some say 8-12 rep and this says 8 rep max and go up in weight?
>>773937898 reps per set is enough to cause stimulation, if you wanna min-max you go for 12 reps before you progress. also not every lift day is the same, some days you get failure at 8 some days at 10 or 12 you dont always have the exact same performance due to many variables.
>>77393470Your body adapts to whatever you are used to. Taking away carbs when you are accustomed to carbs can have that effect. If you did it as a routine and only had high carbs once a week or something then your body would function optimally that way.
why am I oscillating between looking fat and not looking fat if my weight is the same? wtf I don't get it, my mantits and belly come and go depending on the hour of the day
>>77393789Just my personal preference since 4-8 reps seems to work best for building strenght and muscle, for me at least
>>77393792good to know, it always feels kind of fast/easy to get to 8 reps but going from 8 to 12 takes so much
>>77393796the more water and the less glycogen the more you will look like a bloated muscle-atrophied ayy lmao
>>77393809bro, I can't go from looking like brad pitt to looking like danny devitto just because I drank a glass of water. this isn't normal
>>77393818you're most likely just mentally ill
>>77393826my belly now goes to infinity, it's kinda like I lost the muscles keeping it together and now it's falling down or something
>>77393470>im not even super fat or anythingThat's the thing, your body don't got nothing in reserve. You need to eat a steady amount of carbs in every meal to not die as I found out yesterday.>>77393118Thanks anon, hopefully people read it and took it as a warning that you can't exercise without carbs.
no matter how well i wash my ass in the shower after i sweat in the gym my shorts still smell like actual poop from the ass sweat after. will this stop when im no longer fat?
buhbuhbuh carbs are le evil
Cringe unbased plateau (I am eating less than a half of my tdee)
>>77393785maybe obvious advice but make sure you're trying to pull your shoulders back together to get your back more involved in the movement. can't explain it too well because i'm terrible at pull ups myself, but it feels different and distinctly easier than if you're trying to brute force pull yourself up entirely by your biceps
>>77393851it'll reduce but idk if it'll go away fully, you might wanna wear two layers of underwear during gym days
>>77393843ye carbs are important, keto fags are either couch potatoes or people like joe rogan who are on every supplement/steroid on the planet, better eat balanced, working out being in a big deficite is hard enough
don't summon the ketofag it's been nice in here lately
>>77393877i was thinking of just swapping to exclusively machine workouts anyway cause i hate how doing compound lifts leaves some muscles weak for other workouts, i do full body split 3 times a week, no matter what order i do workouts one will suffer in performance because a compound move like pull ups or dips fatigued me
im always self conscious about bringing my tablet to the gym to read manga or watch anime while doing cardio due to growing up in an era where you got bullied for liking that stuff but then yesterday some dude was loudly discussing sword art online with his friend on the phone while on the machinesguess i should stop overthinking it
>>77393939i would bully you if i saw you in the gym reading a fucking manga or watching anime. infact id go to the management and tell them youre watching pedo shit in the gym. home this helps.

>>77394265That's pretty normal. You could drink your coffee first, then try to poop once it works its magic. As long it's a standard amount each day, you've still got repeatability. If you're so anal you feel you need your actual fasted morning weight, just subtract the weight of the coffee/water. Hell, if you always have the same breakfast each morning, same applies to that.I mean even when you poop you didn't completely clear your digestive system, and that and your fluid retention varies day-to-day anyway. This is why trends matter more, you'll go crazy looking too much into daily numbers. I'd just do a 7-day running average and call it a day.
What good calorie tracking phone app that doesn't have shit ads or paywalls?
>>77394298try reducing your insoluble fiber intake. cut down on veggies especially uncooked ones. i'm now back to smooth pooping after i cut them out. good news is you can eat potatoes just fine.
>>77390989i've personally found eating a sandwich or small breakfast (1 egg omelette for example) and work lunch works best. I still have the energy to work and exercise after work, but im sort of spent in the evening, though i've been walking 20km~ and using outdoor gym so im pretty much occupied from work till bed time anyways so dont have really cravings. just got to keep hydrated, been thinking about using packback for carrying water with me
>>77391042why is aggressive diet dangerous though, lack of salt and potassium and other minerals or something else?last month i've lost 1kg, 4kg, 2kg and 1kg
Are there any tricks to supress hunger? If I try to stay under my tdee I feel so fucking hungry all the time
>>77394413GLP-1
>>77393453>>77393456Not them but I’m a midget (5’4”) Being short shits down your BMR so fucking much; losing more than a pound a week from diet just dumps you into stupid lowcal territory.I don’t wanna try 1200cal days again. It was miserable
>>77394413There are all sorts of tips I'm sure you've seen, but just getting used to being hungry sometimes and reframing the feeling mentally as a normal thing is best long-term. At the beginning of a diet it's harsh though, you'll have much more extreme hunger until your body gets readjusted. Drinking plenty of fluid, volume eating vegetables, high protein diet, being lightly to moderately active, keeping your mind occupied with other things (or sleeping), I think works for pretty much everybody (as do drugs like caffeine or nicotene, though I wouldn't do them, or glp-1s). Otherwise, the particulars of what kind of meal scheduling or foods you find more satisfying or other diet tricks are very individualized, as long as you're meeting your deficit (hopefully not too extreme) and protein goals, try different stuff out that sounds like it will work for you.
>>77391706i'm tracking and not losing
Gotten used to 1500kcal per dayI don't feel hungry anymore
>>77394443How long until you habituate to the hunger?
>>77394298You need to add fat to your diet, eat avocados.
>>77394506Is this why when my breakfast includes just 2 pieces of bacon and I then use that fat left in the pan to cook my two eggs I have to shit within the hour?
Alright, I haven’t checked in for a while so I figured I’d just say I’m not dead and I’m still losing weight. December 2024 I was at 411 pounds and as of today I’m at 259.3, again, I don’t do any fancy diet shit, my weight loss is PURE cico. All I do is cap myself to 1500 calories a day, yes I know this is far below the projectedTDEE but I don’t care, I don’t want to overestimate, also 1500 is plenty. I’ve had a couple of plateaus but those were unironically caused by me getting constipated, turned out I was taking too much fiber and it screwed me up. I saw some people complaining about serving sizes and I agree they’re really fucking confusing so I typically try to only eat foods with clearly defined portions like a lavash is 100 calories per ONE piece of flatbread. I got some pitas the other day because the package said 90 calories but then I checked closer and it’s actually 180 per pita, the serving is half a pita…who the fuck only eats half a pita? Prepackaged meals are a godsend for lazy fat niggers like me, I hate having to hunch over the kitchen scale and weigh shit out. Obviously if you have the time to make carefully balanced homemade meals you absolutely should, but I work 12 hours a day so lean cuisines are perfectly fine thank you very much. Anyways, my current plan here is to just stay the course, once I hit 200 pounds I’ll actually start going to the gym and lifting. The only reason I haven’t up this point is I’m not trying to turn into an ogre. Have some willpower and stick with it, there’s nothing better than the moment when you realize you can buy normal people clothes again instead of having to buy shit from places like DXL and king size.
Just tried going gym late in the evening, gotta say, idk if its the change in routine or the fact that i had a few meals during the day allowing me to load up on carbs, but i had the sickest pump ive ever had. holy fuck.
I've been doing 1500 cals a week for a while and while there are definitely some results it's not going as fast as I want thanks to the caloric bombs which get dropped on me from my uncaring mom about weekly.Do you think I should go as low as 1000 or is that too much and unsustainable?
>>77394502Took me about a week, maybe two before it got at all tolerable, now how bad it is mostly depends on how severe my deficit is and what food choices I'm making (lot easier with 1-2 meals of volumous whole foods than a bunch of snacking or eating junk, even with same daily calories). I'm sure it's different depending on the person, where they're coming from, and what they've changed to doing. I'm AuDHD/OCD and have pretty severe food noise and binge urges and shit, so a lot of it is actually mental for me. I'll occasionally fall off the wagon while maintaining, gain relatively quickly until I'm pushing mid-overweight range, and have to lose the same 20-30 lbs back again.

>>77393898berry cute and funny image, i like it>>77393939no one actually cares what other people are doing, and if they do it's likely because they're a weirdodw abt it bro>>77393949>home this helpshehe
>>77394413I chew gum, it helps dramatically for me because I eat out of boredom not actual hunger. Just having something in my mouth and activating my facial muscles keeps me from feeling hunger.
