>Who is /fat/ for?
For candy cows working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros), LoseIt (great for both), or Waistline (FOSS).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and lose fat much quicker. Not lifting results in the body eating away muscle AND fat.
Drink more water.
Read the /fit/ sticky: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calories.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your calories (alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

bros help me
i fell off the wagon on vacation now i can't get back on
>>
>>77559693
you should aim for 12%

Why does it matter? Just keep losing weight until you're satisfied with how you look.
>>
>>77559761
so he has a set goal and can plan?
>>
>>77559761
I am tired of losing weight and looking worse than expected. Yeah sure, I'm making progress, but I want to have realistic expectations so that my mood doesn't get wrecked
>>
Has anyone here used St. John's Wort to treat their depression? Did it work? I genuinely can't force myself to do anything(besides cardio and gym) anymore and I'm looking for remedies to that
>>
>>77559881
How do you want your body to look? Make that your goal, not a bodyweight % or weight. And then just keep chipping away until you reach it. Monitoring weight is how you monitor your progress. Don't worry about bodyfat percentage.
>>77559891
How's your diet?
>>
>>77559891
Thyroid supporting supps helped me somewhat . myoinositol iodine and selenium. No megadosing anything only up to 100-150% rda. Dieting lowers thyroid function
>>
Have you gone on keto? I have to drink electrolyte supplements on it now. I am not sure if this is really a big deal to me. I don't feel like eating anything unless my timer goes off now. I put a bunch of juice flavor in my salt water and it doesn't seem to be as salty now.

>How's your diet?
Good, I just can't seem to do anything when I'm inside my house, I get incredibly self-sabotaging and just start thinking how useless and shit I am at things I do
>>77559898
No prescriptions?
