>when the macros on point

Losertown says I'll hit my goal by 06/07.

I usually have a cheat meal for every 10 lbs lost, but if I just push through I can cycle off of keto and into maintenance...

>>41272682
What's your goal, starting weight, and current weight? Height?

>>41272699
Starting: 300
Current: 192.9
Goal: 174
Height: 6'2"

Read the wrong number. 06/11, not 06/07.

>>41272723
Nice job man!

I do Keto to. You have any tips?

>>41272723
Got dang

When did you start?

>>41272878
Just stick to it, really. I do keto and IF, super strict about it. Get most of my fiber by combining flax seed, fitness fiber and almond milk into a shake. Added protein just to 2 birds, 1 stone.

Drink loads of water. If you have the time get out for a run in the morning and lift at night. I run 2 miles in the morning and do PPLXPPLX at night then 30 minutes on the elliptical after.

It's hard, man. I felt like physically sad the other day looking at food I can't have but I also watch the food channel on the elliptical as a means of discipline.

I dunno. I cultivated this out of self loathing but I got over that so now I'm just doing it for myself.

>>41272893
September 2015 is when I got serious. June of 2015 is when I formally started.

>tfw 800 grams away from hitting my goal

I think I'm making it guys

I lost 100lbs and have loose skin and stretch marks. Is there anything I can do about it to minimize them? I started taking Guta Kola, does anyone have any experience with it? I am almost about to say fuck it and get the stretch marks tattooed over.

>>41272974
Loose skin>>Fasting
Stretch marks, well you gonna have to spend money on that, and even then, they probably never disappear 100%.
Then again, if you're fit, they're not as disgusting. Some tall people who've never been fat just grew too fast during puberty have them.

>>41273050
I've been doing it for months, it helps massively. Mind you, I do IF not a proper fast. I just drink coffee in the morning, go work out then have a protein/fat rich brunch afterwards. As long as you stay hydrated, everything goes smooth.

that's just a leg, right? I got a hacksaw here somewhere.

How to eat more protein? I eat almost no meat so I'm having problems with getting an adequate amount.

>>41273086
Eat meat.

>>41273086
Eggs, cheese, beans, yogurt

>>41273086
Protein powder, nuts (careful), fish, milk, cheese. I buy some mince and divvy it up into easy to cook portions.

Also, chicken+garlic+black olives is literally HNNNNGGGGG. Holy shit this is the best thing ever.

>>41273086
Protein Bars are pretty tasty anon.

>>41273086
I get a lot (~50%) of my protein from powdered stuff.

>>41273177
Yes senpai

>>41273098
>>41273107
Is protein powder worth it if you don't lift super hard? I eat meat regularly often but i don't eat a ton of it, i was thinking of getting protein powder and drinking a shake once in a while to just make sure i get more than enough protein so help minimize muscle loss as i lose weight.

>>41273080
Steady progress is better than no progress my friend. Nice job.

>>41273256
It's literally the cheapest form of protein per gram even if you get quality stuff (Optimum Nutrition).

>>41272628
Is 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of strength training a good gym routine to start off with? Just started going to the gym a few weeks ago and have mostly doing an hour of cardio a few times a week.

I'm mostly focused on just losing weight right now but I guess I could benefit from having a little muscle growth.

>>41273085
kek

>>41273289
Always do strength training first.
30min cardio will inhibit your lifting, and having muscle growth is infinitely more important than losing fat. You're probably somewhat new to lifting and the first few months are crucial. Of course still do cardio, but just do it last.

You don't want to end up looking like a freak, and right now your noob gains can be excellent due to all that fat you're carrying around. So many fatties neglect lifting till they've hit their target goal. Having more muscle will help you look better, feel better, and burn more calories (higher TDEE).

>>41273085
>>41273300
This has to be samefsgging. I refuse to believe someone is reddit enough to actually laugh at that.

>>41273304
Light cardio though is a good warm up for strength training.

>>41273325
I laughed internally to it.

Is sparkling water actually good and okay to drink? I was shopping yesterday and i saw some new drinks that were just small cans of flavored sparkling water, i live in canada so i guess they would be the canadian equivalent of those la croix drinks. Cans say it's 0 calories just like water but it feels like it's too good to be true or something. Could i actually have a flavored drink with my food and it still be as good as water?

should i just do squats without weights for legs? really cant be arsed to do more than that

>>41273380
It's just carbonated water with artificial flavoring. No calories there.

>>41273406
Your legs contain the biggest muscles in your body. You really should dedicate at least one day to training (with heavy weights) the different groups which are located in your legs. Quads, calves, hamstrings, hip flexors.

I consume a lot of stevia. I mean A LOT. I use it in my oatmeal, smoothies, protein shakes, you name it. Is there any problem with consuming this much since it's literally calorie free?

nah m8, its me

what can i say, i thought it was mildly funny

>>41273344
True, but like a 5-10 minute jiggle jog, not full blown cardio.

>>41273406
You should lift weights. As a fatty your only plus in life the ability for nice legs once you've cut.

>>41273380
sparkling water is much better than diet soda, both in taste and health.

i recommend san pellegrino, spindrift, and la croix.

spindrift might be tough to find up there, but it's plain sparkling water mixed with some real fruit juice and no other ingredients

it's like 1 to 10 calories a can and tastes like soda. the lemon flavor is one of my favorite drinks

>>41273380
It's not as good as water but it is fine.

>loose skin forever edition

Sometime I wonder what's even the point.

>>41273571
You'll look good in clothes at least and be healthy. Surgery is an option too.

anyone of you guys know how I can add weight training to mfp without going through each and every single fkn exercise, seems a pita, i bust my ass for 45 mins if that helps (deadlifts, farmers, bunch of other stuff today for example)

>>41273571
delet this

I know this must be asked a hundred times a day, but short of surgery does anything hep the loose skin? Will muscle gains fill it in eventually?

>>41273588
Don't add it to mfp. If you're cutting there is no reason to make it so you can eat more.

>>41273571
lift weights, or should've lifted weights, least i am hoping that will save me, im 250ish lb, been lifting 18 months, dieting now, even at this weight i dont have the saggy tits some of you guys have here so who knows what will happen, will know in 6 months

>>41273596
People like to lie but no. If it's just a little bit it may go away or be filled in, otherwise surgery is the only option. If you're hit your target weight and maintained for a year, yet still have loose skin, it's time for surgery.

Sum it up to different objectives, senpai. My goal when I started was to be a normal BMI for literally the first time in living memory.

Still not there. Still look like shit. Plan on cutting/recomping until I am. Then I'll bulk.

But hey, I weigh less now than I did in grade school, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

>>41272911
Not that guy, but I'm doing keto and feel that same sadness. Almost cried thinking about sweets the other day. S'hard bro.

>>41273685
yeah, sorry if it sounded like i was shitting on you, not doing that, you've done really well.

when i joined the gym, i wanted to lose weight but then i got into deadlifting and squats and would be so hungry, so i ended up putting on so much weight, got my deadlift up to 215kg for 1rm, so im pretty strong i would like to think

i started at 275
im at about 235
my goals are 218 by july (vacation at the sea nee to be shirtless and all that)
and under 200 by i dont care when. i just want it to happen

>>41273465
I'd limit anything you use in excess, personally. But the only thing I've heard about stevia that didn't seem too out there was that it made you crave sweet things.

Started at 422
Dropped down to 235 in a year
Started getting heavy into lifting
Bench/Dead/Squat = 315/415/515 @ 275
Now, it's time for the final cut to 225 lbs.

Almost 30 y/o. The next 10 years will be better than the last 10 years.

>>41273738
>Bench/Dead/Squat = 315/515/415*

>>41273731
i've got a stevia plant, i pick 4-5 leaves each day for a treat, better than the store stuff i think too

Have fun getting rejected and then gaining it all back. Being fat isn't whats preventing you from getting a gf.

>yes I am projecting a bit

>>41273779
im also interested in this
im pretty social just really bad with women would losing weight help any?

>>41273793
It boosts confidence, so probably. I'm a girl, but half the reason I'm doing this is to get more of a backbone to be more social.

>>41273791
Nah man, I'm not solely losing weight for girls. That'd be stupid. I'm doing it for my health, which I desperately need to keep in check. Girls would be a bonus.

I'm just using the logic that, ceterus paribus, being thinner is more attractive than being fat. Figure I'd simply be more physically attractive (thus more attractive overall) to a larger set of women, which increases my chances.

>>41273938
I mean yeah it helps to not look disgusting, but it's about your personality and charm more than anything. If you can't talk to a girl and be funny and likable, they're just going to hop on your dick.

Looks only makes getting girls easy if you're like 9 or 10 out of 10 chad thundercock. If you're a handsome chad with a good body then your personality doesn't matter at all, you can be a drooling retard and girls will still want to fuck just because. But for normal people, not being fat can help but it's about you as a person. They have to like you and want to be around you or enjoy talking to you.

After some weakness back down to 218lbs once again. With another good spell of dieting I should be able to get pretty hardcore down in weight again. Plan today is a curry with cauliflower rice later with some vegetable curry, should be nice.

Was close to the magic 150kg number by the end of last year, now I'm under 140, and thats with some ups and downs.
Signing up to the gym again last month was the biggest feat so far, I think I should see some quick improvements soon.

Bought up cans of tuna, beans,frozen veggos and some boxes of eggs for the next week, that should kill any sort of hunger cravings and stupid fastfood escalations.
Also did the math and I'll save a lot of cash if I keep on eating like that.

Plan is to drop under 120 by the end of the year.
Under 110 would be the dream.

328 this morning. Was 338 in January and have been yo-yo-ing my way down for 5 months and all I have to show for it is 10 pounds. I tried everything except limiting calories. I tried Intermittent fasting, I tried low carb, I went full keto for a while, and never once did I log calories so that's what I'm doing now.

I knew I needed to do that but I didn't. I guess I was just scared of committing. But I've got MFP set up, my TDEE is around 2500, and I'm shooting for 1800 and under.

At least I have evidence that keto, low carb, and IF are mostly memes. They're just ways to weasel around cutting calories.

bull fucking shit try putting that shit on sedentary like you are supposed to and then stop stuffing your face.

IF, low carb, and keto are means to cut calories

cutting calories is THE BARE MINIMUM for weight loss.

It's like you don't even want to fucking change and just want an excuse to stop

I know I know I know I'm retarded. I wasn't complaining, I was just providing some evidence that the memes don't work. I'm here to cut calories as of today.

>>41274652
They would work if you did them properly, you still need a caloric deficit when you do them

>>41274597
1800 is fine. What's more important is a deficit you can actually stick to consistently. That's all that really matters.

Keep in mind at that deficit you will lose ~2 pounds a week and then you'll have to cut even more later on to sustain that rate of loss.

It'll take you almost 2 years to get to a healthy weight losing 2 pounds a week, assuming no major lapses. So literally the only thing that matters is your ability to stick to it.

>lose 80 lbs

Fuck loose skin right in the balls.

Dropped 180 lbs and still have to walk around with this shit.

But in retrospect losing weight still was the best decision I ever made. People treat you so much better just bc you look good.
4 years ago I couldn't even talk or look at a girl without getting red and spilling soaghetti all over the place. Now girls come up to talk to me and even laugh at my stupid jokes.

The curse of the skinnyfat, 175cm 86kg to 68kg, everyone tells me I look too skinny while I am still over 20% bodyfat.

>>41274629
Pretty basic stuff.

2 Eggs and 4oz of Chourico for breakfast
Maybe an apple or banana mid day
Chicken or fish for dinner

Having a bigger breakfast has really helped. Before I would just have a cup of cereal, which left me starving by lunch time.

Well what's the fucking point then? Who gives a shit about losing weight if you just going to be alone still? I'd rather just die early then if that's the case.

This is why I gave up last time. No amount of weight loss is going to help me stop being socially retarded and actually able to talk to people.

If I run every morning, do some body weight exercises (mostly to failure), and cycle for an hour or two every day, do I change my Activity level from couch potato? I've always set my Activity to Sedentary and manually logged my exercise calories.

>>41274717
to improve your life overall

It will help you with girls, that shouldn't be the ultimate goal though. Instead of a 1% chance you can increase it to 20 or 30

>>41274717
Think about this question: Do you want to be fat?
Don't consider anything else. Do it for yourself, if you do things for other reasons, once those reasons are gone, the things attached to them are gone as well.
Also, keep putting yourself in social situations, no matter how poorly you do. And by social situations I don't mean trying to hit on girls, hang out with people. You'd be surprised how much it helps.

>>41274685

Good work m80, can I ask how long you were fat before you dropped it all?

>>41274717
Man it's really not like that.
A big reason you are a "social retard" is because you look like one and act like one. Once you drop the weight people WILL start treatibg you alot better, that combined with the sudden boost in confidence will help you with social gains. Sure the first year aftet weight loss you'll still feel like an autist but this will change overtime. Time heals all wounds even the wound of being an outcast for your entire life, if you work on it atleast.
Like I said in my prev post, I couldn't even talk or lool at girls when I was 20, 4 years later I can chat them up. Yes it was an uphill battle and it took some time to get used to. I also did a shitload of cringy shit trying to get with a girl I fell "in love" with. But that was just because of inexperience and you learn from it.
If you never try new shit you will never get better at it. Swallow your autism and anxiety and just go for it.

>>41274717
So I have a bigger dick to jack off

>>41274717
It usually says right in the OP that if you're loser when you're fat you'll still be a loser skinny so not sure what you were expecting. Learning to be more social and letting loose of of concerns is way easier than actually spending months to a year to lose weight dude.

For me personally what fixed my social awkwardness was playing online games with people. I've played WoW on and off for 7 years now, been in two different really high end raiding guilds that were top of the server. In that kind of environment you have to talk to people on voice chat. You always see those "tfw they ask you to get on voicechat but too scared", i used to be like that but you just man up and log on and say hi, as they talk you get more comfortable and start talking then suddenly you make friends. Then you start talking to them all the time out of game, or out of raid, or in different games, you just hang out and talk cause you're friends. Suddenly it's now easy jumping on other voice chats other people want you to join and say to other strangers. At that point you just apply that kind of yourself out in the world in actual social situation and it's easy cause it's actually pretty similar.

Just play some games and talk to people, get comfortable talking to strangers and new people then apply yourself in real life.

>>41274717
Doing nerd shit is more fun when you're healthier too.

All the situations that make you feel shittier because of your weight can be improved by losing it.

Walking up stairs, carrying shit, just fucking living when its hot in summer, buying clothes.

>>41274717
80% of being socially retarded is lack of confidence.
Losing weight and getting fit will eliminate that.

>>41274764
Started my weight loss at 19,5. Took me around 3 years to get to the weight I'm at now (stayed stuck at 225 for a long time) and afterwards slowly started to recomp my body.

Too bad I didn't take pictures back then because my loose skin (tits, arms, batwings) were ALOT worse before I started lifting and I only gained 20lbs.

>>41274719
An extra scoop or protein bar isn't going to hurt, but I personally wouldn't actually log calories burned.

I used to, but in the end it was just an excuse to eat way more. Same reason I'm not getting a fitbit despite all of my friends telling me to.

>>41274863
the only reason I wear my fitbit is to track my heart rate. seeing my resting heart rate drop from 85 to 55 felt great

>>41274871
Only reason I would get one.

How long after cardio/lifting does it take for your heart rate to drop back to resting? An hour after cardio and my heart rate is still like 10-20 bpm higher than my typical resting rate of ~66

>ate MAYBE 1500 calories yesterday
>Feel like I need to starve myself today to make up for it

I'm not going to make it

>>41274930
1500 calories is fine unless you are 5 feet tall. Stop being stupid before you get an actual eating disorder

in practice to create eating disorders

Bragging about losing weight? You could almost say people in this thread are trying to... What's the word... Get fit?

If only we had a board designated for such a thing. Something for fitness, health, and exercise. Hmmm.

>>41275079
How is that a strawman? Someone condescendingly asked why we have this thread and you say people come here to brag. The only thing to brag about is how well you're doing losing weight. This is a health and fitness board about exercising, eating right, and losing weight.

Really not sure what you're expecting to get out of this little conversation.

Are you retarded? Of course that's why people get fat. They don't think there is an issue and never change.
The point of these threads are for the people who are trying to change.

A fatty general is fine as long as it reinforces proper fitness ideals.

Nobody is pulling HAES shit here, everybody wants to improve.

>>41272628
/fat/, I've lost like 8 lbs in a week since I started dieting. Is this normal in the beginning or am I going too fast?

>>41275263
you sound upset.

That's mostly water weight unless you seriously had a deficit of 3500+ a day.

>>41275269
Everyone loses a lot of weight right when they start. Literally all water.

You'll go down to a reasonable rate in a month or so, don't think this rate will stay you'll just be disappointed.

>>41275269

I'm losing fast as fuck too, AFAIK it's fine for dropping the first bit of a huge excess but you'll want to train lots to compensate and slow down once you're not whale shaped anymore

No shit sherlock, you're not going to lose weight no matter what you eat if you're going to eat 5000 calories of it.

Going low carb or keto works because carbs have a shitton of calories, but if you're just gonna replace these with the same amount of calories in something else it's not going to do shit.

It's not much to lose but I am determined to lose it. I'm doing excercise, mostly strength resistence since I don't gym, and dieting, 500 calories one day, about 2000 the next; it helps me keep portions under control and my stomach shrinks due to 500 from previous day. I've done it once before 2 years ago and got down to 182, but damn me if I can't do it again

What the fuck? I've just started eating clean two weeks ago, besides some light weightlifting 3 days a week, and I didn't lose one fucking pound in the last 7 days?

I'm a 5'5"/170cm 185lb/84kg manlet and am counting my calories while keeping my macros mostly in check: my diet consists basically of oats, milk, egg, chicken breast and brown rice/sweet potatoes, extra-virgin olive oil + a cup of whey protein a day. I'm also taking a multivitamin and fish oil capsules.

If I understand this table correctly I should be aiming at a 2030 calories intake to be losing 1lb/0.5kg a week right? Just to be sure I'm actually aiming a little lower than that, at the 1900 range, so I have an "extra" 100 calories of screw up. What am I doing wrong here

>>41276213
just go lower. go for 1500 kcal a day.

>>41276028
who actually cares about the sodium?
do you have a history of cardiovascular diseases in your family? If no, sodium means shit to you.

Anyone got any good ideas for low cal high protein snacks? I'm definitely a grazer, so I eat most of my cals through snacks throughout the day. Usually it's just fruit or veggies, but I wouldn't mind upping my protein intake since I've started to work out more.
Bonus points for portable snacks I can take to work.

>>41276213
Are you counting everything? Every drink and cream for your coffee? Every peanut?

What's better nutritionally: unsweet hot tea, unsweet cold tea
>inb4 water

>mfw just discovered Hummus and Matzos
>Have it everyday for lunch
Hummus is such a big booster to my new clean eating lifestyle. Feels good to eat something so delicious and healthy. I just need to get into dipping veg instead of bread/crackers

>>41276234
Pork rinds are like 2 grams of protein for every gram of fat (pretty much zero carbs). I don't think you can find better snacks than that.

Wait, I'm confused - how do I reduce my bodyfat%? Do I have to lose weight for that or can I just keep lifting and eating at maintenance?

>>41276213
You can be doing every thing right for a month before actually seeing any change due to water and shit. Assuming you are counting correctly

>>41276273
unsweet cold tea is easier to chug in great amounts. unsweet hot tea tastes better.

Hit with food poisoning. Was vomiting all night, and now have horrible diarrhea.

And have lost 3lbs.

Or is that silly.

>>41276302
It'd be better and quicker to lose weight. Technically you can slowly change your body composition if you're lifting enough.

>>41276302
At goal weight - maintenance and lift and/or cardio

above goal weight - deficit and lift and or/cardio

>>41276386
Most of that is probably water weight. Just eat normally once you are better.

>>41276213

But then I would kill any muscle progress I might be having, no?


>>41276250

I'm pretty sure I am. I'm even using a digital scale and measuring scoops when I'm home. I'm eating 4 meals a day:

Meal 1 (Breakfast): 60g of oats, 150ml of semi skimmed milk, 5g of chocolate milk powder and a pinch of cinnamon (400~ calories)

Meal 2 (Lunch): When I'm home the Lunch is the same as the Dinner. During week days I usually eat on the street, but it's usually something like 4ish tablespoons of white rice, 3ish tablespoons of beans, some vegetables and a decent slice of chicken breast and sometimes a fried egg. Sometimes a diet soda, but I've been cutting them mostly for the past two weeks. (500-600~ calories)

Meal 3 (Dinner): 150g of chicken breast, 200g of brown rice/sweet potato, 5g or extra-virgin olive oil (520~ calories)

Meal 4: 200ml of semi skimmed milk + 30g of whey protein (220~ calories)

That adds up to a little under 1800 calories, which gives me some room for error and "cheating" (which I'm usually avoiding).

Any obvious mistakes I'm missing?

>>41276304

Now that's disheartening.

>>41276505

I've been drinking about 1.5l a day, give or take every day. I struggle to drink more than that.

Ok former fatbros. I lost 125 about 6 years ago. I have a ton of loose skin and nearly died due to a botched skin removal surgery.

I've still got a ton of flab on my chest. I bench 255 for reps and I have a pec and then a sad saggy pouch underneath, which makes my nipples and weird underboob show through shirts.

Does anyone have any possible idea how I can fix loose chest skin? I may hop on gear, but I don't know how much bigger my chest can really get.

>>41272790
snapplecat

Logged on everyday since I started, 28 days ago.

How much coffee is too much? I work nights and I usually have between 2-4, but on my days off I don't even touch the stuff.

Should I substitute for tea instead?

Has anyone tried chew+spit? I'm scared of diabetes.

How much loose skin should I expect?

going from 300lbs->180ish

>>41276861
Depends on how much fat do you plan to lose per week

>>41276877
2-3lbs/week once I get into a regular groove.

But I lost about 20 pounds in the last month or so

I'm old (28) though...

>>41276861
It's gonna be okay. I was about the same size when i slimmed down. There'll be some loose skin but hit the gym for a while and it wont be noticeable.

>>41276896
2 lbs per week is the maximum to not get sagging skin
Also, 20 pounds of fat per month isn't feasible, that would mean a 2500 calorie deficit per day, It was probably water weight

>>41274703
Fucking tell me about it. I hate it.

>>41276837

>>41277004

Really? I was thinking like 180-185. I'm working out as well so i think if i put on some decent muscle mass i can be decently lean around that weight

All this loose skin talk is scaring the shit out of me, all the different stances on what to do/not do aren't helping either

I guess I'll just have to pray it won't be too bad

>>41277030
Thanks broseph! Also, the new Gatorade Water is amazing for sweet cravings, really helps keep me away from all the other shit (work a diner so very dangerous)

>>41277108
350-500 calorie deficit, lift weights, eat protein, and hope you didn't do too much damage to your skin whilst fattening up.

>>41276842
>chew and spit

That's going to be counterproductive. To shut the cravings down you need to get your lipostat system back under. The hyperstimulating flavors of anything you would bother C&Sing help to deregulate it.

Your diet needs to be more bland, not less.

>>41276275

How do I know what's water weight and what isn't?

I enjoy drinking a lot of water and eating things like baby carrots and celery, but how much am I just bloating myself or taking in too much water? I also seem to fluctuate a few pounds and my stomach seems to shrink and grow on certain days.

Drinking water will help you lose water weight.

Salt is what makes your body retain water, and drinking lots of water flushes salt out.

(as sold) on nutrition label of pasta means before cooked yes?

>>41277994
Is there any sort of water-to-salt ratio? Or pretty much "don't eat a lot of salt and you don't have to worry about it"? Stuff like baby carrots have a crazy amount of sodium for a vegetable, so limiting those. Would steaming help?

>>41278045

Sodium is important. Before you start limiting it, how much of it are you getting?

>>41278039

It probably means without butter and sauce.

>>41278039

Peanut butter and actual butter have the same calories/volume. It's not going to totally kill your diet but it's something you should limit.

Why the fuck do people keep spewing this broscience?

You're gonna have as much loose skin as you're gonna have, regardless of speed of weight loss. Keep it moisturized, and yourself hydrated.

The skin will continue to shrink after you reach your weight loss goal, up to a certain extent. It's not going to matter if you reach that goal in a year or 7 years.

Your skin is not going to be tight as a babies if you were 450lbs and lost it over 7 years. It doesn't matter how fast you lose weight, it will only reduce surface area a certain amount.

The only thing that will change is how immediately you see a lot of loose skin. A few of are after the weight loss you will look the exact same regardless of the speed you lost the weight

>>41278563
>Hersey
I don't understand how Amerifats can eat that shit. Tastes worse than no brand chocolate.

>>41277004
Fuck no, shoo skelly

>>41278652
Also, it's not loose skin unless it's paper thin. If you can grab your sag and feel something between the layers, you still have fat to lose.

Get a little pinch of the skin on your dick to get a feel for just how thin your skin actually is.

>>41278623
Don't eat more.
You can exercise if you want but the effect of exercise in terms of weight loss is minimal compared to diet.

Yes, don't listen to the morons. Obviously after its cooked a lot of water weight is added which would skew calories when weighing

>>41278495

Then don't start cutting sodium yet.


Water weight won't hurt you.

Thanks

I have decided to go /fat/

>>41278623

Eat bland, not highly processed foods.

So, how do I get fat?

>>41278968
Eat higher than your TDEE every day.

>>41279003
I want fast results btw

>>41279014
Eat much higher than your TDEE every day and do nothing but eat and lay in bed.

>>41279023
Any other tips that will make me fat quick?

>>41273086
Cheese (raclette cheese is 23% protein), soy proteins if you're vegetarian (it tastes like chicken, 40% to 50% protein).

Any tips for fatass, who wants to start running?

>>41279084
drink soda with every meal, always go for fried food, make sure you eat a good amount of ice cream.

Nothing to it.

Drink olive oil and soda exclusively instead of water. Cook everything with excessive amounts of butter. Eat 1 jar of peanut butter a day. Fast food for every meal.

>>41279113
read the sticky?

>>41279113
Yeah, don't.
Walk, swim, row, or bike and lift weights till you've lost a bit of fat.
Lifting will help make you not a fragile sack of lard, and the other exercises are low-impact for your joints.

Once you've made this a steady routine and you've lost some fat, learn proper running form. Don't heel strike. Jiggle jog and slowly get in to it.

Are you saying fasting will eliminate loose skin? What makes you think that?

Hershey's literally has the same acid as vomit has in it. Americans don't notice, but it literally tastes like vomit. Literally THE shittiest chocolate.

>>41279236
It taste fine. I never understood why it gets such a bad rep. I've had ''authentic'' chocolate, dutch, german, and other countries chocolate. Yeah, it's good, but there isn't anything wrong with herhshey chocolate. It's just cheap and generic.

So here's my opinion on La Croix:

Every time you try a new flavor it always tastes like shit. But after two cans you start liking the flavor.

It is a good replacement for soda because it's carbonated as all hell and gives you a stomach ache just like regular soda so it makes you think "wow this is a fucking gutbuster, but at least it wasn't a 150 calorie can of shit that gave me this"

>>41272628
Shit man i am pathetic. I managed to (for the first time) eat 1500 in the day. I went home from training but i was going past a store. I didnt ignore it, i went inside. My mind was screaming ONLY HEALTY FOODS so i searched for something healty. ended up with those salt stics (not even healty). I tought that if i would eat a small portion i would be fine (like 30 grams is 24 gram carbs and 120 kcal) BUT I ENDED UP EATING THE WHOLE BAG (200 grams) SO ALL MY STRUGGLE THROUGH THIS DAY WAS FOR NOTHING

Don't buy snacks. Acknowledge you are weak willed and change what you keep in your house accordingly

>>41279570
Don't fuck up tomorrow just because you fucked up today.

Keep trying. You'll get it eventually.

>Started trying to get /fit/ on 4/1
>Today is 5/1, went down from 225 to 219 pounds

Eat lots of fat. Fats are practically transported directly under your skin.
