to what degree can raw (shredded) cabbage replace bread? it turns out I eat about ~2600 calories a day. replacing ~350 grams of bread (~850 calories) with ~350 grams of cabbage (~90 grams) would make my daily intake drop from ~2600 to ~1840. seems too good to be true as what worries me the most is length of fullness as I aim to maintain 3 meals with no snacks. also are there any particular veggies that provide fullness? and does cabbage have to be washed beyond throwing the outer leaves into garbage?

>>77589010
Soups made from roasted vegetables are delicious. Wish I could make them more often.
What do you think of miso soup? Japanese eat them for every meal and they're filling and customizable. They take 10 minutes to make because you're just stirring dashi powder and miso paste into hot water, but they have a lot of flavor. Add rehydrated wakame or some baby spinach for fiber and firm tofu cubes or an egg for protein.

>>77587933
I think it's easier to restrict, mark certain foods as off-limits. I find it difficult to stop at a moderate portion when the food is right there. Constantly tasting a bite of the food here and there is just reminding me that it exists and keeping it at the forefront of my mind. If I decide a food is off-limits, then that is the decision being made and I don't have to revisit it or renegotiate every time I see the food in the kitchen.

>>77589559
>are there any particular veggies that provide fullness?
potatoes are the GOAT.
>does cabbage have to be washed beyond throwing the outer leaves into garbage?

I believe you need to eat them with the skin for the best effect?

I’ve been isolating myself for a while due to how disgusted I felt at myself. I hope that people will treat me with more kindness after losing weight.

>>77589372
Ok.
Just don't eat.
Like skip a week of food and see what happens.
How many of these duck and nune images exist?

>>77587933
What worked for me was not buying any junk food anymore at all, however not banning it completely either. If I want to eat it I have to make it myself from scratch. If I bake something like brownies I preportion it and freeze them. thawing them naturally takes a while so I let one piece thaw and I can't just binge them all at once.

>>77588258
When I start hating my lifting routine I either switch it up and just do my favourite exercises for a few days or do some totally different workout like going for a long bikeride or a swim. The most important part to not spiral into quitting is to at least keep the workout days active.

I gained weight again. Goddamn cereal!

How do you former fatties get over the mental block of bulking?
>Spend years fighting against your own ravenous appetite, denying yourself food, counting every calorie, and basically having to fight your own body every single day just to stop being an obese fuck
>Finally manage to lose the weight after God knows how much effort and self-denial
>Still don't even look particularly good, just halfway decent with that weirdly soft, bulbous look
>Apparently you need to bulk to look decent
WHAT? You're telling me that after spending years teaching myself to eat LESS, fighting the urge to eat more at every opportunity, and living in constant fear of putting the weight back on, I'm now supposed to deliberately reverse course?
Eat MORE? On PURPOSE?
Watch the number on the scale that I've spent years desperately trying to bring down start climbing again?
And somehow trust that this time it'll magically make me look better instead of turning me back into the fat fuck I spent half my life trying to escape?
I understand the logic of building muscle intellectually, but emotionally it feels like being told to walk straight back into a burning building I barely managed to crawl out of.
I just can't get into it. Even the thought of deliberately gaining weight makes my stomach turn. How do you get past this?

>>77589811
If you look soft and bulbous, you can probably stand to lose some more weight. Or try recomping first
In any case you shouldn't be going more than 100-200 calories over your TDEE, so psychologically just treat it as eating maintenance + a little bit more protein than usual instead of "bulking" = time to pig out.

>>77589819
>you can probably stand to lose some more weight
You're almost certainly right... back to it then
>100-200 calories
Wait that's it? The way anons talk about bulking I somehow assumed it was 1000-2000 extra, not the equivalent of an extra sandwich

>>77589839
>1000
jesus no
500 is fine with regular bulk cut cycles but if you're still kinda fat then doing some maingaining bullshit like with super small surplus like that anon said might work out for you

no but I had to buy a chair with the highest weight limit I could find(outside of those specifically for obese people they sell in murrica) because I kept breaking them after a couple years
the ones at work are kinda tight but I still fit
>>77589973
pickles are good because they're strong in flavor and low calorie(if you get ones that don't have sugar in the brine) I bought a bunch of pickled onions, garlic, and cucumbers and I eat some when I'm feeling like a snack.

How do you deal with someone who is fat but doesnt want to listen to anything. My brother wants to diet, we are the same height he weighs about 230lbs and I weigh 170lbs. So im telling him about what I do to diet. Calculate my calorie goals, eating less than that, working out, etc. He has a list of excuses everytime
>2000 calories is too little. Id get light headed
>I cant not eat breakfast. I have to eat something
>macros dont sit with me, I can eat protein but fats and carbs make me bloated
>if I work out then it makes me hungry

Is it even worth trying to convince him that hes wrong? Everything I say he says "I tried that and it didnt work". Makes me want to yell when ive lost weight, am continuing to lose weight, and he thinks the absolute basics dont apply to him. Meanwhile he eats chips, drinks diet soda like its water, and constantly tries to rationalize eating mcdonalds

>>77590044
Spike his drinks with crystal meth or amphetamine to lower his apetite

See ya later, suckers

Making a plan to indulge on Halloween weekend but it's so fucking hard. I want to make and eat so many things but the calories alone would fit an entire week of maintain just for 2 days over the weekend.
I want to say fuck it and just go for it but at the same time I'm scared to death of losing my progress and spiraling. BUT I really want to get into the Halloween spirit at the same time and some tasty snacks would help :(
What do?

>>77590471
You can still get into the spirit without eating every last thing. You can have fun making the stuff and keeping them around, but moderate your intake.

>>77590471
fast for the next 48 hours, then you can 3X eat

>>77590471
Halve the amounts or choose half of the things to make

>>77590465
What have you been eating? Anytime you've been doing to make it easier to adhere to?

>>77590520
I am doing 1200 kcal/day keto.
Each meal is basically a protein and a keto side. Like 8oz chicken breast and kale salad. Or 4oz steak and trail mix. Or like cashew butter and baked veggies.

The meals are like $5 or under.

Down to 105.4kg from 115.5kg as of this morning... just cleaned up my diet and started lifting again. goal is ~80kg by summer. So far so good. i had to let go of beer and bread completely, because i cant control myself.

I think I did some good progress today, I’m happy. We’re all GMI!

>>77590465
I was locked in for a month + but i allowed myself to get depressed and used it as an excuse to fall off the wagon for 6 days. I am 11 lbs up now.

>>77590572
did you consider talking to a therapist about your eating disorder and how to manage it?

>>77590465
I started a year ago, got about 9 months until I got frustrated at a big stall at 310 pounds in the middle of summer. I stopped and ate at maintenance (strictly, I didn't cut loose) for about three weeks, then got back at it. Now I'm down to 260.

gilbert's syndrome sucks

>>77590498
>>77590511
Thanks anons, I halved most of it and I'll come up to about 4,000 calorie deficit for the upcoming week with the weekend included IF I don't manage to fuck it up and pig out

Low glycemic diets like keto or fasting preserve muscle mass.

Muscle loss during weight loss is caused by eating carbs. Carbs raise insulin. Insulin blocks fat burning. When fat burning is blocked you lose muscle.

>>77590044
It's difficult to lose weight for yourself and you have full control over your own actions
Trying to do so for someone else, someone you have less control over, is nearly impossible. They have to be the one that wants to lose weight and willing to make the sacrifices required otherwise it'll rarely go anywhere unless you have some kind of extreme power dynamic over them (typically parental though maybe spousal or work related) which offers you a lot of control over their life.
Someone saying they want to lose weight doesn't do anything if they aren't willing to do what's necessary to achieve such goals.

She can use a name and trip. The posting habits stay however.
It's just annoying to have the trip up because next time she posts if she forgets to clear the name field it'll stay filled and a random post on another random board will be forever attached to this trip
Y'all don't need to see her fetishes and her shitposts. They're both quite awful.
>>77588911
She merely desires attention but she can live without it. It's not strictly necessary.
>>77588928
The ability for others to ignore her is also a big part of why she posts like she does. with the name and trip it becomes easier to ignore her. She's okay with this however, filter evasion is a step too far from what she's okay with doing, so despite her dislike of other people being able to filter her she won't be doing anything to prevent them from doing so if they so wish. Filter evasion is a constant game of cat and mouse she doesn't feel like playing anyways.

We aren't mice though. I've cut on keto before and lost the most amount of muscle that I ever did. Definitely can lift more eating carbs.

I drink black tea as a hunger suppressant
I eat fiber as a hunger suppressant.

I recently weighed myself and discovered that for the first time in maybe 25 years I am no longer in the obese category according to the BMI calculator. I started at 300 pounds about 13 months ago and constantly tweaked my diet and exercise to be healthier. My day job keeps me in shape but I want to get rid of the excess weight.

>>77589811
surplus needed to gain is so small it sorts itself out for me anyway. I never really "bulk", I either just cut or not. Keeping meals pretty similar helps too, I just add or remove refined carbs as needed.

So I'd recommend not worrying too much about it for a while, just eat what you imagine is your maintenance and go hard in the gym.

Is it possible for me to go from 98kg to 85kg by next year?
I have a bit over 2 months. I'm trying my hardest.
I go to the gym 3-6 days a week and strength train.

Should i walk or add cardio?
Should i just eat less?

Please help

>>77591912
Perhaps if you don't eat at all and keep that gym routine, probably possible

>>77591912
How long exactly is "a bit over". To accomplish that in 2 months you'd have to lose nearly a half pound a day. Not really doable.

>>77591912
If you're short and thus relatively very fat it's possible. Eat 500 cals a day on average for the next two months. If you're tall no.

>>77591912
it would take like a 1600kcal deficit
so if you eat 1000kcal and go to the gym every single day you might about make it but you won't last two months of that without injuring yourself or giving up

>Is it possible for me to go from 98kg to 85kg by next year?
Of course it is possible. Ultimately you need 1600 calories less than maintenance for 60 days to lose 28lbs/13kg.
>I go to the gym 3-6 days a week and strength train.
>Should i walk or add cardio?
Strength training uses very little calories, almost none. So adding cardio is definitely a good choice.
>Should i just eat less?
Yes.
>Please help
Calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure or TDEE with an online calculator, try eating 1000 less than your maintenance calories and then walk at 3mph for 2 hours every day.
It would also be ideal to lift and eat a lot of protein so you dont lose too much muscle mass.
Honestly that seems a bit extreme, I suppose it is doable for some people, but if you try it and its too much then aiming for the end of January makes it a lot more doable, youd just need to reduce daily calories by ~1100 which is a lot more manageable.

Holding strong today, wanted to pig out but I think I can wait until tomorrow and go from there

>>77592062
You must have something wrong mentally if you are yoyoing up and down such huge ammounts and based on your post you seem to have self esteem issues.
Luckily you already lost the weight before and each time you gain it you dont gain as much, you can definitely lose it again.
You will just need to be stricter with yourself to keep it off.
Humans remain capable of adapting to exercise at all ages so you are never too old to be healthier.

>>77591912
it might be possible but it won't be easy.
I did 92,5 to 80 in 2 months. Caloriegoal of 1850 but most days were between 1200 and 1600. I had 4 days where I binged way over my calories but all other days pretty strict. I strive for at least 100g protein and 60g fats.
8k steps a day minimum. Weightlifting 3 times a week. Swimming twice a week for at least 30 mins but most times 1 hour.
Lost no power in the gym (some lifts even went slightly up) so muscle loss should be minimal.

Day 45/500 complete
She ate very early today. It's not like it breaks anything, it's been 1 hour anytime during the day since the beginning. Technically this can make her fasts about as short as 48 hours or about as long as 94 hours but usually it bell curves such that her fasting length is within about 8 hours plus or minus of 72 hours. Had some trouble falling asleep. She'll try much harder this time.
Also hopefully this trip works.

It's going pretty easy for me. 45 days of the same thing will kinda make it a habit
She feels like if you need to be "locked in" for your diet to work then it might not be the right diet. Ideally it should come easy to you after a few weeks. Unless you think you can stay "locked in" for however long it takes to lose the amount of weight you are aiming to lose (realistically impossible if it's for over two months or so) it might be better to do a less stressful diet.

It's been... longer than a week. not sure if this'll cheat the weekly score, but obviously I didn't lose 20lbs in a week

Ive realised I cant diet by eating normally but just eating less. I need my 'diet' programmed food to tell my brain we are not doing regular scheduled programming. This way all my body systems are on the same page and work together to get the job done.

>>77592062
I don't mean to be mr. fasting pseudoscience but just try fasting. I don't have any physiological explanation for it but I think certain mentalities can handle it pretty well. Just don't eat for three days, then eat like 3K calories of healthy food for a day (whatever your chosen pseudoscience tells you is healthy; just count the calories - for me it's chicken, beans, and half and half in my coffee), then fast three days again. If that sends you into a tailspin of nausea and dizzies it's probably not for you, if you realize it didn't bother you much until the afternoon of the day threes you might have a good brain and organ setup for losing a lot of weight by fasting.

i think i'm getting myself back under control.

It depends on what you're doing. If you're doing accessories, then 3-5 minutes is a waste of time. But if you're doing top sets of squats, then you might need it - I rest for a similar amount of time. But if you feel like you're resting too long, then you probably are. Or more likely, you're just not lifting heavy enough weights. All that matters is that your rest periods are long enough that you're reasonably likely to make the same number of reps in your next set.

>I dont see much result
If you couldn't lift a weight last week and you can this week, then you're making progress. Not sure what else you're expecting.

Is working out on an "extreme" (~500-1000kcal) diet useless? I already feel like shit and have no energy most of the time, I can't imagine adding lifting to that

bought one of those debloat powders from the tiktok store and holy FUCK it tastes like shit, maybe it actually works

people are advised to do diets they can stick to. if working out makes it too much, then don't.
you might also think about going with a less extreme diet and working out or even just to not feel like shit.
>>77593019

Working out is non negotiable.
If you have to increase your calories a bit then so be it. Try a higher protein diet if you arent already.
You dont want to be skinny fat forever and you dont want to have brittle bones when you are old.

>>77593289
yeah day 61 today, been stuck on 84-83 for a week now so fingers crossed water weight is going to flush away soon and i get a new LW.

for anyone interested i walk an average of 12k steps a day, full body lift 3x/week, 1h stairmaster 3x/week, 1500 to 1800 cals (with quite a few +2000 days), 3L water, 100g min protein, then i take creatine, omega 3, magnesium and vitamin d

sounds like a lot written down but if you just go to the gym in the morning you get it all done early and can be lazy and fuck around the rest of the day

Next week's weigh in is gonna be brutal... might take a week or two to work off this weekend

So, I started gym two weeks or so back. Following GZCLP.


I had bit of scare a couple of days back. When I was at the hospital, I had my weights checked and I was shockingly at 79 Kg. I was at 77.2 before I started lifting. Was I being retarded with my diet? Idk but it bummed me out. Today I weighed myself again and I was at 77.9 kg which was a big relief. Both weighed in the evening . Still it's an increase from 2 weeks or so back. I thought I was eating at maintenence but Idk what went wrong. My cope is that it's water weight due to creatine consumption o algo. I will start using the treadmill on rest days just in case.

happy halloween /fat/

Day 46/500 of weight loss complete
Got a bunch of Halloween candy. She'll probably be having one every day she eats for a few months
Tomorrow she'll begin walking a lot daily. By now it shouldn't cause too much stress that it causes me to give up. Besides exercise is good for her beyond just causing her to use extra calories.
>>77593504
Her body begins to break down when it gets above about 280 lbs. Aches and pains and rashes and constantly tired and out of breath. She doesn't know how people get to weights like 400 or 500 her body would completely break down by then, the highest she's ever gotten is like 320 and she began to develop at least two rashes. The thing is for her fasting is the only thing that has ever worked. You just have to remind yourself every day. Also it helps to slowly get yourself into fasting by starting with something like intermittent fasting or OMAD for a few weeks. Another thing is just say you'll fast, even if it's just here on /fit/. If you naturally want to avoid lying you'll continue fasting, though if you're a habitual liar this might not help you. For her she puts a lot of time and energy into these posts so to waste all of that by breaking the fast would be quite bad, and to again spiral up in weight would also be bad. She does this because she has no other good opinions. Plus the fat had been holding her back in many other ways in life for so many years. She just wants to put it all behind her. Also the dozens of suicidal atheists in this thread aren't going to like it but some of my strength comes from God.
>>77593569
If you ate 20k calories in a day your body wouldn't even be able to properly absorb all of that before it left your system.

I've lost a lot of weight in a year and I got several-week-long measured stalls all the damn time, clearly from water, despite averaging over 10lbs a month lost over that time. And if I took a weigh-in at a random time of day I might be near 5kg heavier than when I measured it fully pissed and shit out in the morning. If you're tall especially you can't depend on getting a morale boost every time you look at the scale unless you have extremely regular electrolyte doctrine.

Bros Gemini told me low blood sugar, paired with high BMI and high triglycerides is one of the earliest signs of diabetes. I do have a family history of diabetes but those usually showed up much later in life for them. The fact I am seeing those signs now is worrying.
I saw one of my family members progressively degenerate from diabetes symptons, and she suffered a lot in her last years. I am absolutely offing myself if I get any hint of getting diabetes. Its more joever than I could've fathomed.

Feels great, but Idk i still look at myself and see a fat fuck, although i can finally fit into most medium or large sized clothes. I still got some ways to go to hit under 80kg to no longer be considered overweight. I'm hoping to hit it by spring so I can have a summer as a normal person and not a fatty mc fat fat. Also plan to seriously lift weights once I hit sub 80kg.

I've already been doing some resistance training at home, pushups and some dumbell workouts, but pretty casual which is why i said i will go serious. I plan to do like a proper maintenance gain plan and hit it 6 days a week instead of my 2-3 days ive been doing so far. It's been so hard to push past newbie gains in a deficit, i stall very hard in most lifts for weeks and weeks because of this.

My peak was at 215kg back in January, with very limited mobility.

Chinese GLPs, high protein PSMF with some additional carbs and breaks, and 5 times per week resistance training seem to be working well for me up to this point (-38kg so far), so I recommend that to comparable BMIs.

She's going to post a scale weight in a few days so it should be somewhat close to the weight she just took, just with 4 days of weight fluctuations and weight loss added. Look out for that.
She's so close to getting out of class 3. Still very much obese but it's getting better by the day.

>i feel annoyed i didnt lose more.
Then just lose more? Set a new goal weight for a weight lower than your current one and do whatever you did to reach your current weight, though likely with even less eating due to decreased TDEE from decreased size.

You'll lose some muscle mass when you lose weight unless you go extremely slow (like 200 grams lost a month) or you're on gear/experiencing noob gains. Keto/fasting is just one of the best ways to minimize this loss. When you're losing weight you should be more concerned with that then muscles IMO. You can gain the muscle back when you lose the weight. People here act like if you go below a certain muscular threshold you HAVE TO kill yourself so they'll avoid it like they avoid running in traffic, even if it would only be temporary, and you would after a couple months post weight loss gain more muscle than you'd have if you kept slowly widdling your weight downwards over the course of literal years because you need to keep above the imaginary threshold or else you'll kill yourself because you're a stupid musclehead roidtranny on /fit/ who cannot even tolerate temporary dissatisfaction with your current muscular state.

Walking every day
No masturbating
Continued adherence to the fasting schedule she's set for herself with the one break she'll take this month probably being around Thanksgiving.

My body aches, getting sick. Do I still work out or just fully rest?

Post pics before and after. I'm down 45 lbs and I can clearly see my stomach shrinking and man tits going away

Ozempic gave me headaches and didn't make me any less hungry

November 1st 2026. 177 lbs. 5ft 10 inches. Supposedly 19.8% bf

I reckon 22 more pounds to lose. Lose skin on the lower abdomen but not as bad as I thought it would be. Hope it retracts some. Of course I still have fat on the gut though so more to go.

Where is skin surgery anon?! Did he live?!

What's the most drastic thing I can do to lose weight that won't kill me?

Your chest looks fantastic. After about 20 lbs you should look great.

Hard to believe but i'm 1-2 weeks from finishing an essentially year long cut, 96 to 75kg (220 to 180lbs or something like that for you Amerifats). First time having abs, striations and being near or below 12% bf in my life. A couple weeks of maintenance or refeed here and there but basically OMAD 90% of the time, can't even remember what it's like to train not fasted but have managed to still progress on most of my lifts. The last two months ive been constantly daydreaming about all the shit I haven't eaten for so long. Been eating roughly 2200cal a day with a 3000cal tdee thanks to 10+ hours of zone 2 every week and 5 days lifting.

To those struggling with energy while in a deficit, literally just endure it, the more you do persevere, the bigger the body of evidence you have to remind yourself you CAN do it when the temptations are strongest. When you're going through hell keep going. WAGMI
