Can you one shot a 60+ pound weight loss?
>>77426324yes, I lost 60lbs in 8 months of cico and daily walking
did you ever have a fat gf or current have one? are you losing weight together?
>>77426330you can't just drop this bombshell and walk away without an explanation, anon.
>>77426324Well I've lost 40lbs in 2 monthsGranted I'm 300 lbs
>>77426310Reminder: never eat any carbs!
i just realized, losing 1kg of fat means losing more than 1% of bodyfat, almost 1.5% evengmi
>>77426349what flag is that behind him?
Fasted for 3 daysLost 4 kgsBroke it yesterday evening with 500 grams of skinny yoghurt, a hamburger patty in the oven (0 oil) and two SCOOPS of ice cream and two boiled eggs.Today, realised that skinny yoghurt has 5 25 gram of carbs for 500 grams. These were my main source of protein. I would eat 2000 grams of skinny yoghurt for a whopping 160 grams of protein, but this is why I wasn't losing much weight at the time, because I was still eating two pieces of bread and some potatoes at the side. I think I was taking in too many carbs.So, I'm going to switch to full yoghurt. Which has more calories (more fat), lesser protein, but 0 carbs. Today I ate two boiled eggs, some meatballs self made (in the air fryer) and some beans. Alongside 500 grams of skinny yoghurt with a banana.Still lost weight today. I know I'll gain back some water weight after the three day fast, but so far, it looks good.Oh yeah had heavy diarrhea yesterday when I broke the fast.Also I will not eat anymore ice cream.
>>77426374The 500lb guy has a pine tree flag ("an appeal to heaven") and a gadsden flag ("don't tread on me").
>>77426390based
>>77426382>I'm going to switch to full yoghurt. Which has more calories (more fat), lesser protein, but 0 carbs.Good choice. Full fat dairy is associated with leanness.

can low test make it harder to lose weight? asking for a friend
>>77426419low test comes from CICO dieting
>>7742632460lb pounds is chicken feed, I'm glass cannoning 300lb
>>77426419Low test is caused by a lot of things. Biggest factor is body fat, sleep and exercise. So yes, low test can make it harder to lose weight.
>>77426413Do it anyways. Hate every second of it, but get it done.
>>77426324Lost over 80 pounds in less than six months.
idk if this is the right move but i started exercising a bit at least once a week, like 2-3km, it aint 10k steps but i guess its better than sitting on my ass all day.
>>77426324yep did 65 with CICO in 6 monthsno fad diets ate what i want even a few beers/parties during that time
>>77426472as a fatty you get more out of minimal exercise for most of the journey. 2 miles every other morning watching what you eat is all you need to do.
>>77426419idk but having high test means having more muscle which means higher BMR which makes losing fat a bit easier.start lifting.
hardest turn in all this is not drinking, why did god have to make alcohol so calorie dense?
>>77426490Idk what you're on about. Vikings drank a fuck ton of ale and even honey mead on special occassions and those niggas were tall and lean because of exercise.
>>77426501yeah but most of us don't row and fight battles for 12 hours a day
>>77426519get liftin
Is whole milk bad?
>mom buys kfc for lunch>didn't even call to ask if I wanted some>I throw my portion into the trash Is this self-control or did I go overboard? For reference I planned 1800kcal worth of food
>>77426535>wasting foodnot cool
>>77426535Man, dont be so harsh on family tf, you could've just eaten some and kept some for the following days.Go apologise to your mom right now.
>>77426535>wasting goyslopvery cool
>>77426535Lol, because putting it in the fridge for someone else or even yourself to eat later was too hard. That could have been tomorrow's omad, especially on a day you aren't lifting. But I get it anon, it's about sending a message.
>>77426535self control would be offering it to someone else or portioning it over the next few days.throwing it away is wasteful and mean towards your mother.
What should I break my 36 hour fast with tonight?
>>77426556A second 36 hour fast
I'm stuck in a bad spot. I'm 6'0ft and 197 lbs. Now you might think that's not too bad. That's exactly the problem, I've gotten too comfortable and it's made it easy to justify being lazy. No one would call me fat but I'm not skinny either. I need the same fire I had from when I started.
>>77426556Doesn't matter, from 72+ hours you should eat something light still. Your stomach is still full after only 36 hours.
>>77426562>6'0ft and 197 lbsthats quite bad though, people dont call you fat because they are polite
>>77426529no. make sure to have space for it in your calories
>>77426535you can split it across several days to keep it within your calories.
>>77426562lift hard and max out protein. you don't have to go into a deficit.
>>77426529I do reduced fat 1%, whole milk is very hard to justify on a cut.
>>77426535u did what needed to be done in the moment dont feel bad. maybe something better would be to say "its all urs mom do u want me to put it in the fridge for u tomorrow" or to eat like 1 piece and throw the rest out. still it's fucking slop trash>>77426539crab>>77426540depends on his relationship with his mom . if his mom knew hes on a diet and eating healthier and still bought him kfc goyslop without asking that is CRAB behavior, even if subconsciously she was trying to sabotage him.>>77426543based
Is it okay to do 48-72 hour fasts without protein? Will it negatively impact my lifts?
>>77426595Yes
>>77426595fasting without eating protein during the fast or skipping protein altogether?the former is ok but your lifts will be affected on a fast anyway.
>1000 calories today>1000 calories yesterday>1225 average calories for the week>1336 average calories for the month>full nearly to burstingwagmi
>>77426539>>77426540>>77426540>>77426545>>77426549>>77426578The thing is, I'm very autistic about KFC in particular, I have this self-enforced rule that I can only eat KFC on my birthday in December, basically once a year and I've had this ritual for basically 8 years and rarely ever broke it, now the problem is my mother always buys more food than we eat and almost NEVER eats it on the second day(besides home cooked meals), meaning that the KFC was either going to be eaten by me(which my autism forbids me to do) or thrown away
>>77426648feed it to your dog or something
>>77426535>mom bought some foodyou fucking 10yo? grow up
>>77426419No, same shit with metabolism maybe it'll speed shit up by like burning 70 calories per hour vs 75 on the higher end but nothing really significantIf you're struggling to lose weight you need to reassert your diet.
>>77426592>depends on his relationship with his mom . if his mom knew hes on a diet and eating healthier and still bought him kfc goyslop without asking that is CRAB behavior, even if subconsciously she was trying to sabotage him.I definitely think she does do stuff like that because when I started losing weight she literally started buying double the amount of my favorite snacks, I even told my aunt about it since I'm mentally much more similar to her, when they go shopping together sometimes she would scold my mother for buying me those snacks(specific ones I told her) and they would argue about it, my mother would make an excuse that she is buying it for herself lol(suddenly she started liking snacks she never ate before)
>>77426535I would have spread it out a bit and maybe told her while you appreciate it you're trying to cut back and only want to eat stuff you've brought/prepped yourselfIt's important to remember life gets in the way, being surprised with something you enjoy or sharing food with loved ones (yes even fucking KFC) is part of that.
>>77426535women exist to make you fatset boundaries
>>77426556I broke my 72 hour fast yesterday with 400 g ground meat (burgers) and 100 g of pork rind snacks. It was delicious. Now I'm on a 48 hour fast.
>>77426659>you fucking 10yo? grow upI'm 18 my guy
>>77426595Well no, if you're fasting you're not supposed to take protein since it contains calories and breaks your fast. Only stuff like coffee, sugar free drinks, water are allowed in a fast. And electrolytes. I drink broth because it contains electrolytes, but technically it contains a small amount of calories and carbs. But I don't care enough, I'm not fasting for religious reasons.
FUCK I WAS SO CLOSE TO 179lbs TODAY (weighed 180.2lbs)I've been in the 180s since June PLEAAASE

It’s crazy to think just how a few lbs can completely change ur appearance, after losing 15lbs my face has completely changed, it went from bloated and acne 4/10 to like clear skin, sharp jawline 6/10
Fat loss is really only determined by 2 things. How much you burn and how much you consume. The closer you get to your ideal body fat percentage (most likely 10% for you most of you) the harder it's going to be to lose fat. The human body has biological imperative to maintain body fat as a survival mechanism.So to make it as easy as possible only drop calories by 2-300 at most. Keep insulin levels low by consuming low amounts of carbs or only eating carbs that have low glycemic index. Sweet potatoes barely move your blood sugars at all. This keeps your insulin levels low so your beta 2 receptors can activate and actually do their job.Your belly has a large amount of alpha 2 receptors so that will be the last bit of fat to go away.Yohimbine helps block alpha 2 receptors and keeping insulin low will enable fat loss.Once your calories are locked in you need to focus on burning more calories. Walking with intervals of sprinting worked great for me but there's going to be a point where you just don't have the energy to keep going. If your workouts and cardio are taking a hit and you're having trouble sleeping you need to bump up your calories by at least 1-200 for a week. This doesn't mean eating whatever you want, you're just giving your body a break from the cut so it understands not to go into starvation mode.Your cut should look something like this>300 calorie deficit from maintenance >Maintain for 3 weeks>1 week of slight caloric increase 1-200 calories>Take it easy on the weight training as well but maintain gentle cardio >60 minutes of walking on incline >Each month you continue the cut you will drop your overall calories by 100>Within three months you'll have created a 500 calorie deficit with 1 week of a slight increase to keep your body from thinking it's starvingOnly do this once you've dropped a considerable amount of weight. If you're fat just drop calories and go for a walk you don't even need to focus on macros or calorie burn
>>774269231200 calories is a surefire way to make your dick stop working
>>77426954congrats and thank you for this hopium

>>77427050There's like 40 hours worth of calories there.
>>77427059It's only 3k calories
>>77426419Yes. It makes you an unmotivated fuck with low energy. Testosterone is the lfieblood of men.
>>77426978>eat 1200 a day (500 deficit) >constantly horny I dunno nonny
>>77427061Like I said 40 hours worth if you're being honest with yourself about how much energy you spent during that fast, the beginning of which was probably fueled by another pig out session so you could 'prepare'. The first 10 hours of your fast was just emptying stored glycogen. Wouldn't be surprised at all if you're excess calories after all this.
>>77427050>eating carbs, carbs, carbs, and carbsYou should stick with ketogenic macros before and after fasting.
>>77427081Stfu phaggot. I burn 3k calories daily. Im in a 3k calories deficit lmfao
>>77427117desu tho why would you even want to eat that much?I ate 2 slices of pizza and felt so bloated.like is 1000 calories in one sitting not enough for your fat ass?
>>77427120>like is 1000 calories in one sitting not enough for your fat ass?No it's notFasting allows me to binge freely. It's great

>>77427129Good job anon!
>>77427152Yes, it will still be good for you. It might also motivate you to get your diet in order

I'm going to break my 72 hour fast on Saturday with chicken wings
>>77427177I hope you go to an actual wings place and get some gooder than hell buffalo wings
>>77427184I am
>fast for 3 days>eat 4000 calories of chicken wings afterI don't know why I come to this place, it's clearly not for people who are actually losing weight.
>>77427174weight loss is one of the best ways to help with diabetes anon
>>77427199It is, you just have to ignore some of the goobers.Look at the anons who are actually progressing on the contest, for example.
>>77427199It's going to be around 3000 calories
Weighed in at doctors at 200 lbs last September and now rushing at -2 lbs a week to hit 165 by next checkup. 5 weeks left to lose 7 lbs. Not hard so far with a protein/fiber focused CICO. Any advice? Ty, this is my first time at something like this.
>>77427222It sounds like what you're doing is working already anon. Keep it up!
>>77427199I've been losing a lot of weight doing rolling 72 hour fasts and pigging out on keto foods
>>77427199what's wrong with 72 hour rolling fasts?chicken wings are smart because you don't break ketosis, avoid the keto flu, and ketosis decreases muscle loss
>>77427199Are you retarded? You'd still be in a calorie deficit if you did that
>>77426757That's why you go for 1%, not skim.
From 225 to 205, I’m gonna hit 200 soon anons
I think playing intense action games actually increases BMR. I've been playing the original halo for the last few hours and my body's felt like it's on fire the entire time.
I’ve been walking at minimum 12k steps a day. And hitting similar macros and calories every day. So how the fuck have I gained 3 pounds? Googling everything and seeing having this low calories could be unhealthy but have initial quick weight loss, and it’s the exact opposite for me
>>77427362>original halo >intense
>>77427367You're forgetting how much of the game is just wave spamming, especially after the flood gets introduced.
>>77427365gained 3 pounds in what time frame?
>>77426310HELPwhat do you guys do for that light-headed, head-achy feeling when you're cutting? it's not hunger, it feels like dehydration almost but drinking water doesn't solve it. it's extremely annoying

>>77427888Total BS. Vitamin D RDAs are bullshit.
>>77427888>>77427907like I said yesterday, where are all these vitamin D shills coming from?
>>77427914the only way you can hit the daily rda for vitamin D is if you eat tons of fatty fish everyday which no one is doing. fat people have vitamin d because blood tests only pick up serum vitamin d, and vitamin d is a fat soluble vitamin so the vitamin is diluted in their large fat stores.
>>77427412Lmao fat shit
>>77427914it fookin' works!i'm a true believer. anyone that is always hungry or snacking and is never satisfied unless he ate 3000-4000 calories should try it too.it's a life changer. gone are the days of torturing myself by staying away from what i want. and it's much cheaper than GLPshit.
>>77427921Cringe fatphobia
do you guys have issues with digestion when refeeding? i broke my 60 hour fast with a single hard boiled egg to get my digestion system going and i had liquid shit 3 hours later.
>>77427927I break fasts with bone broth and then eat 1 hour later. Creme fraiche and tinned salmon is a good food for breaking fasts. No problems. You can also have milk as your food. Something easy to digest. Maybe hard boiled eggs are too solid and overly cooked. If I was breaking a fast with eggs I would make scrambled with plenty of butter. Maybe soft boiled or poached.
>>77427927Sounds like mental illness. Most of the time when people report having problems with things like bread, fruit, pasta etc it's just mental illness. Are you drinking electrolytes while fasting? What are you breaking your fast with? It's not the egg. Some foods can give me liquid craps, sometimes not.
>>77427932liquid calories might be a good idea@77427935is this a bot?
look at old photo make me realize how much weight I have lostWAGMI bros
>>77427927Usually not, but I refeed with keto so pretty much everything get absorbed by the body.
>>77427927last week i broke my 7 day fast with 2 tomatoes, mozzarella ball, some low kcal ham and an energy drink. ate mostly meat, vegetables during the day and stayed under 3k kcal and haven't shitted until next day, solid but small didn't feel satisfying at all but i'm also used to fasting and have been doing it for the past 2 months. used to get the liquid shits too at the start no matter what i broke the the fasts with
>>77427927If it's a fast 72 hours or less, I don't have any issues eating whatever I want
Hit goal weight. I don't even know what bf% I'm at. I don't feel like 12-13% even though I probably should be at this point. maybe I just don't have enough muscle to look good.
>>77427990You didn't do CICO, did you? CICO causes muscle loss and fat retention.
Why would someone make a bot for /fat/ is beyond me

>>77428004Thanks anon, I appreciate everyone here who kept me going. >>77428015I can see the muscle layer, I don't have abs.>goal weight too highnah it feels too low. I was skinnyfat to begin with, "lightweight" but high bf%. At the very least people have told me my face looks less chubby and my double chin mostly went away. I don't think I lift or exercise frequently enough to hit lower bf%. I'm not a super athlete I'm a desk worker that tries to move around every day. >>77428026Yeah pretty much. Don't fall for the kitchen meme that's made by people that actually lift and exercise like crazy and don't even think about it.Probably gonna switch to slight bulk for now.

>>77428087only if you are a cute girl.
>>77427990>>77428043you dont need to exercise like crazy, you just need to lift 3x/week. if you don't you will lose muscle along with fat when you diet, resulting in more skinnyfat look
>>77428089at least wait until your weight increases instead lmaomy weight has been steadily increasing for 10 days before the woosh

>>77428161>>77428183i'm testing to see if it's the cause of my facial redness
>>77428102I don’t lift, and most people don’t even do what I do. I still got significantly leaner just eating whole foods and exercising daily. Lifting might’ve gotten me leaner but I know what’s best for me and what my goals are. I wanted to be better than I was in every way. Losing weight makes everything easier and stretching/cardio/calis get me to do everything else. I got my resting heart rate below 60 for the first time in a decade, I can do a pistol squat, L sit, and I can kick the top of a doorframe. It feels good, I’d like to be stronger too and that’s coming it’s just slower.
>>77428215that's great, i'm just saying you don't have to be crazy dedicated to working out or a superathlete
>>77428227Yeah I suppose I exaggerated a little. Still, gym 3x a week is real dedication and athleticism, anyone that does that should be proud.
>>77427972This is the first time I took a progress pic at the beginning. I hated it, everything about it was disgusting. Now I’m glad I took it, anytime I feel bad about having a weak day I can now look back at how bad it was. It’s a good anchor, I recommend everyone does it even if its painful.
>>77428230>gym 3x a week is real dedication and athleticismyou can get awfully far by working out 2 times a week as well, since it's when muscles are resting they're growing, and they can grow up to 72 hours after working out. So the most efficient way to work out in theory is every third day, provided you do a full body workout. this is of course for novices, more advanced lifters can usually only work a muscle once a week, but they lift really heavy
>>77428161not him but i'm gay
>>77428138My goal is something like this, not monstrously huge, but still big and imposing, heroic.
>>77428328kek based
>>77428238I think whole body training is too much to handle on a cut. If you think about it the max you can grow without roids is half a pound of muscle a week. And the daily limit is going to be some fraction of that and on a cut it's going to be even further reduced. So you do a whole body workout while eating your limited 1500 cals or whatever and the 0.05lb of muscle you can potentially grow gets distributed all over your body which basically leads to no growth or even muscle loss from not having enough food. Especially when all of the free weight exercises tax the same muscles in your arms and upper body over and over again and the further you get into the workout the worse your exercises get.I've switched to doing a max of two exercises per session and working out every day. Before I would do flat bench and incline bench and then try to do overhead press and not be able to lift anything because my arms were done by that point. Now I do OHP the next day and it's fine.
3 days in. Currently 96kg @ 183cm - Aiming for 80kg. Most likely 67-71kg of lean mass on me. eating 2000-2100kcals per day, fairly active job. Hopefully at a 700-900kcal deficit at the momentLifting 3x per week (starting very light, everything is currently sub 1pl8 putting on 2.5kg per session)rooning 2-3x per week. 3k run to begin with, burns around 300 kcals extra for me to eat.Ive done this before, im gonna make it.

>>77428362read the post nigga
When did (You) decide to make a change, /fat/?
I calc'd that I would lose 0.2 pounds a day on this diet but I have lost 4 pounds after 10 days Is it gonna slow down?should I up my calories am I in "starvation mode"??I don't really feel hungry for most of the day
>>77428369a year ago
>>77427888(me)>finally peckish>600 calories>at the edge of fullnessi think i'll stop here. i was uncomfortably full on 1000 calories. supplement Vitamin D.

>>77428382uhm is it gonna slow down?
>>77428334>Lifting 3x per week (starting very light, everything is currently sub 1pl8 putting on 2.5kg per session)This has to be some sort of troll. Unless you're repping 1pl8 for 50 reps
>>77428380Stronglifts 3x5 + accessoriesAccessories:Weighted pull ups weighted dips curlsskullcrushersMy lifts x5 were around 3pl8 deads2pl8 squat1pl8 ohp
>>77428374You likely just lost some water weight when starting your new diet. Keep doing what you're doing now. Starvation mode isn't a real thing
>>77428384yes
>>77428386Its not about where you start, its where you end up.
>>77428369When hulk picked up my car and threw it at nothing while I was in it and i want revenge on him
>>77428386just helps me ease back in to lifting. Also every time ive tried to go heavy, while starting again i end up fucking my back or shoulder. I know full well that going straight up to a heavy bench/squat from nothing is going to put me off lifting and have me burn out. Im building the habit first and then increasing the difficulty. Because lifting heavy while on a calorie deficit, while doing cardio on your rest days is fucking grueling, especially when you're doing accessory work. You end up in the gym for 2+ hours.
>>77428369I was sick of being depressed and having basically 0 energy when I get home from work, and I heard fasting could help. I decided to try fasting and it fixed everything almost immediately
>>77428393ugh this sux
>>77428401Fasting is super based. I also added taurine supplementation to my routine lately and that is one of the few supplements I have ever tried that seems to do anything. Wish I had started taking taurine earlier.
>>77428401it has more with that you're taking control of your life than with fasting honestlyit's also similar when you start a diet and feel better, it's pretty much placebo because you start taking control of your life. You were probably in an underactivated state, and you manage to regulate yourself into normal activation. Pretty much the window of tolerance.
>>77428417I've done all kinds of diets and lifting routines, and nothing makes me feel as good as regularly fasting does
>>77428391>1pl8 ohpno fucking way
>>77428386>This has to be some sort of troll. Unless you're repping 1pl8 for 50 repsthis is a completely normal way of starting out liftingtell me you don't lift without telling me you don't lift
>>77428391you're better off doing greyskull lp or one of the newer linear progression programs than stronglifts, at least if your goal is aethetics. stronglifts train your legs compared to your upper body way too much.
holy fuck I checked out the r/fitness board, haven't been there in a few years. that place is practically dead, even worse than /fit/
>>77428421too low or too high for the mass? Not sure what you mean. The highest OHP ive ever done is 87.5kg x 4 i think. My OHP has always been quite strong compared to my other lifts
>>77428428>The highest OHP ive ever done is 87.5kg x 4 i think. yeah this is more like it. what do you think 1pl8 weighs?
>>774284281pl8 ohp is at novice level while 1pl8 for squats and deadlift are dyel tier. I think he's just reacting on it being so high compared to the others. also ohp is usually the hardest lift to improve of the basic barbell lifts
>>77428433no. his shoulders are too big for 1pl8 OHP. and it turned out, he does lift more.
>>77428435when that pic was taken i was floating around 60-67.5kg x 5 ohp. A 1pl8 ohp at sub 80kg is not the same as me being 90kg bodyweight and being able to rep out 80+kg which is probably why the shoulders look capped. Because im maybe 10-12% bf there.

Remember to use a sticker and cover up the time on your phone so it doesn't crawl
>>77428369this time it was mainly because I get a lot of reflux when I'm fat, and sometimes I even wake up at night because of it, even if I haven't eaten a lot before bedtime.It was starting to get really annoying, so kind of impulse I just decided to start fasting a week ago since I had the time now and it's vacation.Don't really wanna fast during normal work hours, I have a somewhat demanding job and I just wouldn't handle it. Even cutting is hard at work.

Just drank 450ml of 40% cream. Was that too many carbs?
>>77428531wtf is that? coffee?
>>77428544It's a dairy product. From cows.
My hair won’t stop fucking falling out. It was supposed to stop after just a few months (it started after I lost 50lbs too quickly) but even now 6 months later im still seeing strands of hair in the shower and on my pillow. Is this God’s punishment for losing weight and wanting to better myself
>>77428550i have no idea what is this. is the cream added to the milk or is this simply natural milk that is minimally processed?
>>77428552I lost 150lbs and my hair didn't thin at all. Skill issue.
>>77428552No its just shitty genes. Blame your predecessors
>>77428554It's just cream. Not added to milk or coffee.
>>77428552take multivitamins and make sure you have enough protein. i think iron deficiency causes hairloss but i'm not sure.
>>77428558>>77428550>heavy creamisn't that the one used in desserts? like a better whipping cream?
>>77428570Yeah, "whipping cream" is usually 35%.
>>77428573is it even drinkable?
>>77428577Of course. It's a liquid.

Sigh. Another month of fasting. Moving on up, from 23hr fasts to 47hrs. Going for 71-72 this time. If I can consistently fast for 70-72 hrs, I will have made it. I will be able to eat whatever I want during the feasts. Lfg
>>77428599gay
>>7742860572 hours are fine, it's pretty much then it starts being hard. I don't really think there's any big benefit going further than 72 hours, not really sure how much I believe all this autophagy crap, and it doesn't really matter when the main reason is to lose weight.
>>7742861072-96 hours give stem cell gains.

>>77428555It’s not really thinning, just shedding. My hairline still looks fine and visually you can’t see any difference since I have thick hair. But I am afraid of baldness and seeing 20-30 strands in the shower every other day is fucking with me>>77428559I was super vitamin D deficient so I’ve been taking like 10000IU a day but haven’t seen much difference.
