>been on a strict diet for the past few months, lost fifty

>>9108577
Alcoholic in recovery here. The cravings will pass. Go to Golden corral or.some type of country buffette and eat veggies until you puke. That usually resets me.

>>9108577
You lost too much weight too fast.
Losing weight is about burning calories not restricting them.
This is why fasting is completely useless for weight loss in the long term.

You must've bought a new batch of weed

>>9108577
Completely normal, I dropped 130. Went months on a 1200 calorie diet with no problem, then I was feeling hungry every night for a few weeks at a time. Just remember, if you give in, don't cave. It's just a bump in a long journey.

The trick is to only allow yourself a single day of "bad" food per week. A cheat day, if you will. You've already proven that you have the self-discipline to exercise and lose weight, so treat yourself intermittently but remember the end goal

>>9108599
Whatever you do don't listen to this idiot, OP. Losing weight isn't about restricting calories? Wew.

If you restrict calories your body goes into survival mode and stores energy as fat.
Being physically active burns calories without fat gain.
I'm sure you're still going to argue against the laws of thermodynamics and biological evolution though.......

Wasn't she in WALL-E?

>>9108629
I find it terribly ironic that you talk about "Starvation mode" and thermodynamics laws in the same fucking post.

Thermodynamics (as well as a simple look at photo from a concentration camp or famine) suggests that the whole concept of "starvation mode" is bullshit.

cravings are usually a lack of certain nutrients you need, are you always eating the same thing?

Starving human bodies do tend to burn off muscle first.
It's a very unhealthy and unproductive way of losing weight.

>>9108653
And as if by magic the /ck/ food scientist shows up and reinvents the laws of physics and biology.
I'm surprised it took you so long.
Go and peddle your new age bullshit elsewhere, retard.

>They all have pot bellies though.
That's not fat, that's their guts hanging out because their abdominal muscles have suffered from malnutrition, just like the rest of the muscles on their skeletal frame.

>>9108659
Oh, I agree that it's unhealthy to "diet" to that much of an extreme. I just think it's absurd to think that somehow weight loss stops if you cut calories enough to go into "starvation mode".

>>9108653
This is always the excuse lazy people give for being fat.
Get some exercise you fucking slob.

>>9108652
Pretty much--I rotate between four or five different meals and only eat once a day, so I'm sure I'm not getting an adequate supply of vitamins and whatnot. What I can't figure out is why this hunger only became a problem so recently many months into the diet when, if anything, it should've cropped up at the very beginning. The ONLY change I've made to my diet recently is I've started drinking a cup of black coffee in the morning to be less drowsy, but I've always heard that coffee is supposed to curb your appetite, not vastly increase it. Is it the fucking coffee throwing my body out of whack? Should I ditch the caffeinated Jew?

>>9108703
Here's a novel idea, try eating a balanced diet.

>>9108663
>"eat less calories to lose weight" is new-age bullshit
You are unironically, legitimately, tragically retarded.

>>9108668
Starvation mode is pseudo-science women's health magazine-tier bullshit. I'm sorry you believe otherwise.

>>9108676
Exercise ALONE, you illiterate fucking mongoloid. He implied exercise alone causes weight loss when in reality you won't lose a pound if you're not ultimately eating at a deficit. It's a really simple concept but somehow you fail to grasp it.

>>9108703
>I've started drinking a cup of black coffee in the morning to be less drowsy

It's possible that the caffiene is making you more energetic which results in you being more active. If you were more active then your body would need more calories to burn to support said activity, which in turn could make you hungrier.

>> but I've always heard that coffee is supposed to curb your appetite
That's correct. But keep in mind the caffeine only affects your body for a couple hours after you drank the coffee. As it gets metabolized by your body then its appetite suppression will stop too.

>>9108741
There's a reason you're fat.
:^)

>>9108629
Nigger you'd have to be eating 600 calories a day to go into starvation mode

>>9108708
You know, everyone keeps nagging me to do this 'balanced diet eat three times a day at a 500 calorie reduction like a normal person' bullshit but a 'balanced diet' didn't help me lose fifty pounds--a drastic and retarded one did. Why change what works?

>>9108757
>600 calories
Not if I was only expending 500 calories.
Learn some math, Tyrone.

>>9108741
>He implied exercise alone causes weight loss

It may not always cause weight loss, but it could. For example:
Suppose Fatty McLardass eats 3000 calories a day and his maintenance level is 2400.

If Fatty McLardass were to do 600 calories a day worth of exercise then he would stop gaining weight.

If Fatty McLardass did 1000 calories of exercise and ate the same diet then he'd have a deficit of 400 cals/day. That would mean he'd lose 1 pound of weight every 9 days (on average).

Now I do think that it's much easier to lose weight by eating fewer calories as opposed to relying on exercise only--after all, it takes a lot of work to burn off an appreciable amount of calories via exercise. It's much easier just to eat less. But to say that it's impossible is ignoring the thermodynamic principles involved.

>>9108768
You'd have to be completely motionless everyday or that to happen

>>9108767
>Why change what works?
Because by your own admission you're hungry as fuck.

>>9108775

Hunger is irrelevant. It can be ignored.

>>9108786
So why the fuck did you ask in the first place.
I swear to god you fat cunts want to be spoon fed advice up until the point where you have to put some effort in.

>>9108773
Right, that's exactly what I'm saying. He's saying exercise is the end-all, be-all of weight loss and disagreeing with me when I say that a caloric deficit is the end-all, be-all of weight loss, regardless of how you get there. Apparently, though, that's "new-age bullshit."

>So why the fuck did you ask in the first place.

I didn't. You seem to think there's only one person in this thread.

>>9108775
But only for the past few days and completely out of the blue, lad. I don't think the entire model of my diet needs to be completely scrapped when it's been serving me so well for so long, you know? I just want to figure out why I'm feeling so hungry all of a sudden for no discernible reason.

>>9108796
>He's saying exercise is the end-all, be-all of weight loss

I don't see that claim anywhere in the thread. Nobody said anything even remotely like that.

>>9108629 said:
>Being physically active burns calories without fat gain.

...nowhere did he/she/it claim it was the "best" method. And that quote above is exactly true--getting exercise does indeed burn calories. It just so happens that restricting diet tends to result in the same caloric deficit with less work involved.

O-okay, you got me. I fell for the joke. You win, okay?

>>9108825
Nigga what fucking "fat" are you "gaining" by "restricting calories?" How are you entering this ostensibly real and counterproductive """""survival mode""""" by attaining a caloric deficit in one way but not entering it by attaining the same exact caloric deficit in another? In what world do these assertions make any fucking sense to you?

>>9108800
are real
Next question?

If you're eating more than 900-1000 cals a day you're an obese brainwashed faggot

>>9108855
>Nigga what fucking "fat" are you "gaining" by "restricting calories?
None. Where do you see me saying anything about "gaining fat"?

>>How are you entering this ostensibly real and counterproductive """""survival mode"""""
You're not. Survival mode is a myth.

I think you've confused me with another poster. I think survival mode is bullshit, and that reducing caloric intake is the best means of losing weight.

>>9108877
Jesus, man, I was referencing the other guy's post. The guy that you quoted and are defending?

>>9108888

Reading comprehension bro.
I'm not defending the other poster in general.

The only point made was that nobody ever stated that adding exercise was the "best method". Only that it was A method.

I made a pedantic grammar correction. That's not the same thing as agreeing with the turdbrain.

>>9108818
Maybe ask a physician instead of a Peruvian soap carving forum?

>>9108614
LUL

This "starvation mode" shit is the dumbest myth of all time. People unironically believe that eating "too less" will make your body magically stop burning fat and even store "everything tiny thing you eat as fat". The most retarded and illogical dogshit I've ever heard, just like "yoyo effect" aka eating 4000 kcal after losing weight and wondering why you gained it all again and "eat 6 times a day and mostly carbs" aka get diabetes fast.
