Hello there anonymous users.
I'm in a sort of a pickle here, ever since I started college, I gained quite a lot of weight, quite the opposite of what I expected, which sucks because I was never a guy of admirable fitness.
I have tried a few things already: doing sports every day, eating less, eating very little, eating once in two days, and now I'm in the process of eating oatmeal, buckwheat and chicken.
Basically, eating less resulted in less than nothing plus made me weak enough to catch the flu, and doing sports didn't result in me losing any weight, only made me get back some of the strength I had before. And what I'm eating currently is fucking disgusting because I have no idea how to make healthy AND delicious food.
Any help for a moron like me /adv/ ?
Pic unrelated.

Just check up some easy and healthy recipes. For example youtube is good, if you have no idea what you're doing. There are plenty of healthnut channels that explain and show what to do to cook a healthy meal.
Cutting your eating dramatically might not be a good idea if you want to control your weight. If you let yourself go hungry, binging becomes easier and you could over eat once you do eat. Eat multiple small and healthy meals to maintain ideal blood sugar levels and to avoid hunger. Dieting via starvation only leads to more problems and you're more likely to put the weight right back on, even if you do lose weight.
Drink water, go running.
Doesn't even matter what you eat after that, long as you eat to compensate for the energy you wasted. Running cuts fat pretty fast.

how much soda do you drink
how often do you snack or eat candy
how large are your portions
how tall are you
what is your weight
>eating less resulted in no loss and made me weak
That sounds like bullshit to me, anon. Start counting calories (not super accurate, ballpark it).
I did lose weight after starving myself, but after a few weeks of doing that, it came back, with vengeance.
Running was not possible at the time, since it was winter and we had so much snow that every sidewalk was slippery as hell.

It's really not hard, anon. A starch, a vegetable, a protein simply cooked, and a sauce (one not comprised mainly of butter) for flavor. Make a bunch and put the leftovers in tupperware.
Boiled or baked chicken breast with rice and gravy and broccoli, sirloin and baked potato with chives, chili with lots of onion, etc., etc.

It came back, because starvation is not a sustainable way of life and it puts your body in an energy-saving mode, which means that fat gathers up faster once you start eating again. This is your body's way of preparing for another season of scarce calories.
You need to build your eating and exercise habits from the bottom up and stick to them from there on. If you want to lose weight permanently, you can't do it by dieting, you have do develop and maintain a lifestyle that supports healthy weight.
