is anybody able to get thin? or is there some people who just have big bodies? like would jason momoa be able to have an iggy pop body?

I wanna be skinny like xxxtentacion instead of built

>>12217291
Not sure what exactly you're asking about
Anyone is able to get thin, but different people will look different and some people look silly when thin due to their skeletal structure etc.
>like would jason momoa be able to have an iggy pop body?
Yes because they have actually similar bodies just with different amounts of muscle
But he wouldn't be able to look for example like skinny traps with narrow shoulders
But if you mean if anyone is able to loose enough muscle to look thin then yes

>>12217308
Well I've got a deep af chest and broad shoulders and always been rugby player build but I'd rather be crack addict build. But i imagine with a deep chest id actually look like severly impoverished african chic

Lost three pounds so far on my restricting diet. I know it's likely water weight, and I know I shouldn't check the scale everyday..

But damn. Sure is motivating. Good luck to all the anons trying to lose

>>12217291
>or is there some people who just have big bodies?
There are big, medium and small frame sizes, yeah. Someone with a small frame will have to drop to a pretty low weight to look really thin while someone with a big frame may look weird if they get too skinny. You can find out what kind of frame you have here: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/imagepages/17182.htm

>>12217389
>I know I shouldn't check the scale everyday..
Checking scale every day is the best
>weight fluctuates from day to day regardless of weightloss
>let's only check it once a week and hope the number i got happened to be an accurate representation of my progress
Best to either make weekly averages or better yet just look at graphs in calorie tracking apps
But you need a lot of data for these to make any sense

I'm 5'8" and my bmr is 1400 but I lose weight faster than that is it possible it is wrong?

If I eat like 2k calories on one day and eat nothing the day after, does that redistribute as if I ate 1k cals per those 2 days?

>>12217461
No. Do some research into intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating.

>>12217452
BMR is your sedentary energy use. If you do literally anything you'll be using more calories than your BMR. Find out your TDEE. It's more useful.

>>12217461
in the sense that you're at a 2000 cal deficit yes

>tfw 1 inch shorter and 5lbs heavier
when will the good lord end my life

I'm 6'0" and 145 lbs. I want to get down to 135 lbs but I'm new to thinspo and I'm unsure of what to do. For the past week I've been eating around 400 calories a day, and to be honest it's not that bad since I've never been the type to have a big appetite. However I'm usually a bit hungry at the end of the day, so could I afford to eat like 100-200 calories more just to avoid this feeling? I've already eliminated all carbs and virtually all sugars I possibly can.

i've already lost like 70lbs since i started my weight loss, but i'm having a really hard time losing the last 15-20 (bmi *just* under 21, not even that low) so i'm trying to cut out any sort of consumption i cant measure

yesterday i stopped putting half and half in my tea ._. i really hope all this helps me, i've already given up so much to lose weight

>>12217621
Yes. If you eat up to 800 cals a day you will lose considerably fast.

What body shape do you guys have? Because I'm really bottom heavy despite my weight so I'm hoping losing a bit would help with that

Plus my muscle mass is pretty low, so it's literally just chub on my hips and legs

Get a food scale so you can easily measure everything.

I have no curves and hold all my fat in my stomach. So, like, pregnant snake shape I suppose.

>>12217757
>A forthcoming study by Longo’s team has found that if mice binge enough between fasts so that they are consuming their regular non-fasting calorie intake overall, they still lose weight. “The results, I think, are exceptional,” he says, “and in humans, we’re starting to see something very similar.”

>>12217774
and that's what anon did, ate normal intake one day and then fasted the next. that 24 hour fast probably helped more than if they'd eaten 1000 calories on each day but spread out from morning until night.

>>12217731
this is my SO's suggestion
i'm just ......... i hate exercise so much

I know most of you won't give a fuck but I have to get it out of myself. Few weeks ago I posted in this thread about deciding to bulk up (my stats were about 53kg/180cm, I'm a man). I treated it very seriously, counted every single of the 3000+ calories I consumed in a day, made sure I follow a proper workout routine and excercise with a good form. I started seeing some small progress, I got a bit of muscle definition, I was getting stronger and could lift more almost every day of going to the gym (noob gains I guess). I was on a great path to achieve my goal but I stopped- I realised that I wasn't doing it for myself but to other people who would make innocent jokes about my weight (well if you count the auschwitz survivor ones as innocent) or for people who would tell me that I would look a thousand times better if I put on some weight. Truth be told, I was comfortable in my body, I liked the way clothes looked on me, I liked looking almost androgynous, I enjoyed browsing fashion campaigns and shows and seeing models who looked exactly like me. So yeah, I know it sounds like the most basic shit but I finally realised that I can ignore the image people expect of me and just do what I like. Rant over I guess (sorry if it's incoherent, english isn't my first language)

>>12219488
Eat less, its simple

>>12219522
i know. should really get my shit together again. i just feel so bad because the weight gain seemed to appear out of nowhere, thought i did nothing wrong. guess that was a false assumption.

also; can meds cause weight gain in itself? like, other than just increase your appetite?

does anyone else see fat people as subhuman?

i feel like thinspo communities are always like "we don't body shame :) fat girls are beautiful!"

but they're fucking disgusting

whenever i see one waiting in line for food, i lose my appetite, whenever i see one laughing with her friend, i think stop making your chins tremble

>>12219378

i have been over 20 meds, i know what it is like to feel the effects of them. of course, you are the one who has final control. but it can affect your eating patterns a lot without effort. so don't try to act as if it is all easy peasy and comes down to merely your will to gain or lose weight.

>>12219851
I'm envious of your body shape. I think pears are so cute. I'm completely shapeless even as a latina :(

You'll do fine. Keep it up and your thighs will get thinner sooner than you think.

>>12219538
Meds can cause a little more water retention than normal, but not more than a few fluctuating pounds. It's the increased appetite that gets you. I was on Seroquel for a few weeks and I literally could not stop eating food like a fatass, meals on meals on meals. It just makes your brain all stupid.

Also..general question: I was 64.0 kg yesterday. I do cardio everyday and drink a shit ton of water. I only eat up to 800 cals and yet I checked the scale this morning and it read 64.3??? I'm so upset over this. Could it be water retention?

it's your poo

don't judge your weight loss from one day to the next... measure yourself once a week, if you must.

Oh I see. You're waist measurement is the same as mine and my bust is 30 inches but my hips are like 36-38ish and the fat just bleeds into my thighs

Thanks for the input anon! That's what I'm thinking as well.

>>12219538
Meds definitely can cause weight gain. I'm not sure if its because of just appetite or what but 1. If you're not weighing you food, with meds like anti-psychotics, you will eat more and more oftn perhaps without realizing it.

>>12219758
You're wrong, dude. I've always been skinny and a balooned up hardcore when I was put on seroquel. I didn't even realize it I thought I was eating the same calories and was just getting an "adult" metabolism finally. I thought it was a meme too until it happened to me.

Anyone here 6'1 ? How much do you weigh / what is your goal weight?

I'm currently 154lbs, look thin, but still have fat thighs and slight chubby love handles. I'm thinking another 10lbs might do the trick...

At the same time, since I'm decently tall I wonder if I should just bulk up. Thing is I've always been naturally skinny, so its easier for me to lose than to gain weight - but I'm also lazy and don't want to work out either. In any case, I'm skinny-fat atm and would rather just be skinny. I'm doing body weight exercises to help with definition, so maybe once I'm somewhat ottermode I can start packing on the pounds and translating that to bigger muscle. Idk.

>>12221202
Ottermode still requires you to eat more and exercise; you won't gain muscle on a deficit even if you exercise. It helps maintain what muscles you do have though, especially if you eat somewhat high protein.

I say lose weight until you're skinny and not skinnyfat and then slowly bulk at a moderate caloric surplus and lift weights if ottermode is your ideal. Find some brosplit.

Exercise is very good for you, regardless of whether you wanna be ottermode or skelly mode.

Is any girl here actually underweight? Lmao

Yeah a 2,000 cal meal is less than a 3,000 cal one, but you aren't going to lose weight that way.

Low carb, but not low enough for ketosis, is still better than a high carb diet. I mean cutting out sugar and tons of carbs is a good step.

I agree with what you are saying in general though. It's frustrating to watch.

Should I weight myself with clothes on or off?

>>12221588
Naked or clothed is fine. Just make sure your outfit is consistent in weight every time you weigh yourself.

I've been experimenting with vomiting. I only do it when I eat too much which isn't that often. can it really be that bad if it's only once in a while?

>>12221588
Naked in the morning after using the bathroom is the most consistent way to weigh yourself.

(Which is still inconsistent with water retention, so best to weigh yourself every day and take a weekly average. If the general trend is downward, you're doing well!)

>>12221614
Vomiting fucks up your esophagus, ruins your teeth, doesn't get rid of the calories of all your food since digestion has already started in the mouth, and becomes more and more habitual.

Not only is it incredibly bad for you, you're not even going to be as skinny as you want since you don't get rid of all the calories, so there's no reason whatsoever to do it.

>>12221614
Just fast the next day senpai. Stomach acid erodes your tooth enamel permanently.

>>12221614
I used to do that in middle school. I can vomit without much effort now, but it's fucked up my esophagus and cardial sphincter. I can't eat too much now otherwise my food will come back up.

>>12221509
Take two meals of equal calories and protein, the one with the most fat rather than carbs will produce the most weight loss or the least weight gain. This is demonstrably true.

it's a bit more complex than that but basically
please see a doc if you're concerned. a bmi below 17.5 is typically considered significantly underweight and used to be the cut off for an anorexia diagnosis

>>12221692
there's nothing wrong with being skele.

be the you that you prefer to be.

what is wrong with you guys

ive been skinny all my life, trust me, it's not as amazing as you think it is

i'm 6'2 125lbs, people look down on me becuase im skinny. girls esp, they get jealous because im skinnier than them. i'm trying to bulk up now, eating a lot more protein and lifting weights. hopefully i can get buff soon

most ~naturally skinny~ people are scrawny or skinnyfat so that's not really a surprise. plus people are asses to others at any weight, do what makes you happy and stop letting others get to you.

good luck on your bulk though!

>>12221421

I don't think people who are actually thin have much of incentive to post in a weightloss thread unless they actually have EDs

>>12222436
Yeah that's probably true. I'm at my goal weight and still stick around just because the thread is comfy and it keeps me from regressing. I'm here a lot less than when I was in a normal bmi though.

>>12218184
THIS
also, i even have higher bmi, why do they do that

>>12222485
Because the world is so fat now that people in the normal BMI range are seen as extremely thin. It's all relative.

Yup. The goalpost of health has been moved so the population is unaware and compliant.

I made dinner for my roommate last night but didn't eat any myself. It feels nice to be able to interact with food so closely but still refuse it.

I'm other news, I gained 2 pounds at the beginning of my period. Fek.

>just re-committed to IF
>eating window of 6 hours from 2:30pm to 8:30pm
is a 6h window completely arbitrary to your typical 8h window? or do i still stand to reap a few benefits for those extra 2 hours i spend in a fasted state?

>>12222692
You get several pounds of retained water on average for your period, don't sweat it.

>>12222729
That's what I hear, it still makes me uncomfortable to see the numbers go up, but thanks for the reassurance!

>>12222720
Yeah, you get a few more hours in the fasted state. That's a few more hours of burning fat.

It takes most of the night to get into the fasted state. Say it takes 8 hours from your last meal for your body to stop burning glucose and move to fat, so if your fasted time is 16 hours versus 18 hours, that's really 8 hours (8 hours to start seeing the benefits, then 8 hours of fasted state) versus 10 hours (8 hours to start seeing benefits, then 10 hours of fasted state), which is a 20% increase. I'd say that's pretty significant!

Now the benefits are not completely linear, but it's still a good way to look at it.

What do you guys put in for daily exercise level when calculating your TDEE? I'm not super active aside from walking between classes/to the store or whatever, but I also run several miles 3-4 days a week. Should I say "lightly active" and then subtract the calories burned from my daily total? Or is that still considered "light" exercise?

>>12220332
TDEE ~ 2000-2100
I usually eat ~ 800-1000

>>12222269
nice b8
jealousy != looking down on someone

should I eat?
Yesterday I fasted 22 hours and ate dinner which was 192 calories, 14g carbs, 9g fat, 11g protein, then, at night I ““binged"" on a piece of chocolate (40 calories). I have been fasting 12 hours and I'm already feeling dizzy, not “hungry", I can be in the kitchen without feeling like I'm going to eat, but when I see food, my stomach expands, also I smell food that's not near to me. Now I'm drinking green tea and I don't know if I should eat something, maybe drink orange juice. One of my problems is that if I eat something now I won't be able to fast, because I'm having dinner with my family in 6 hours and it is often really large, I'm vegetarian, but I usually eat around 400 cals, so, if I eat now, I don't want to have more than 100( 150 as too much) calories so I don't exceed my daily limit which's 500 calories.
I'm sorry if I wrote a lot but I wanted you to know everything and I can have a more accurate advice.

>>12222853

>>12222878

>should I eat?

I fast for 23 hours every day and only eat for 30 minutes

Quit the sugar, you weak bitch

>>12222936
I'm jus starting, I think is that. Also I walk a lot and the weather doesn't help (really hot, I hate it). I think there's no reason to be rude, I'm happy you can fast that much without feeling like shit, maybe if I keep trying I can fast 23 hours everyday, as I said, I dinner with my family and it's hard to avoid it.

>>12222853
I don't count any exercise. I just consider it bonus gravy. I lift weights and walk a lot, but not a bunch of cardio. If I was running long distances a lot I'd probably make some allowance for it, but otherwise no.

>>12222949

Quit eating sugar, that's why you're getting cravings

>I think there's no reason to be rude

Nobody said this would be easy

Gain control over your body before it controls you

Most accurate would be to mark as sedentary (or whatever level is appropriate for your job if you work since you are unlikely to track this) and add the exercise manually
If you really want to put exercise straight into TDEE calcs refer to this http://antranik.org/proper-activity-level-for-calorie-intake/

>>12223164
>>12222853
+ I think your level if you add exercise separately would be sedentary rather than lightly active (the sedentary category kinda assumes you still walk around a bit, there's no category for lazy NEETs)

16.3 BMI and still have gut and genetic tighs. Probably need to start doing cardio, and I was thinking about starting yoga.

>>12222692
It's water weight. I gained like 2.5 lbs because I upped my salt intake because low carb/high fat. When I realized and stopped that I "lost" 4 lbs over 2 days. Water weight is no joke.

>>12223005
Google says she's 5'1" and I'd estimate her around 100 lbs.

>>12223092
I know, I'll just stop eating sugary shit, I don't put sugar in my tea or coffee but I often have shit like chocolate. Ty.

>>12222853
I don't calculate my TDEE. Seems pointless. I go by how much weight I lose a week/month then up or down it by how much I am comfortable with. I don't coutn exercise because any given amount of time spent exercising can truly be more or less intense and there is really no telling how much your actually burning from day to day. and i exercise for mental health, not physique.

It's water weight, or you ate something more calorie-light than normal meaning you have heavier food in your gut. Maybe both. Water weight is no joke.

I laugh at any man in this thread that is trying to become skeleton mode

I fell for that meme close to two years ago for a couple days, then realized all it shows women is that you have low test. I have been working out since then for 2 years and life is much better. Anorexic girls will take an aesthetic guy over a skinny low test skeleton any day of the week

>>12224503
Please teach me Zyzz

if you dont reek of pheromones youre not a real man

>>12224532
all male skeletons please move forward, you guys have the advantage when it comes to bodybuilding, you can have the body women prefer in a year of hard work

it is not to late to make it for you skeletons, that anorexic gf uve always wanted is waiting for you if you lift enough

please note if you are 9/10+ you can ignore everything I wrote, if you don't have a chiseled jawline u'd have to lift to get ur anorexic gf

>>12224503
I'm trying to be skele then I think I'll bulk up. The same rules don't apply to me since I like dick. But in the end it doesn't really matter because I'll still have gyno. FML

I'm too poor for pharmaceutical solutions. My mom says she'll pay for a surgery in two years though. It doesn't help that atm I'm too mentally fucked to work. I really hope I get my shit together. At least the weight loss is going really well.

>>12224547
How are my chances looking as a skinnyfat?

>>12224559
keep going bro you'll make it, I know it's only your goal right now to lose weight, but lifting always helps me with depression, It keeps my mind off of things and can burn more calories than cardio

also look up nolvadex, not sure if it is too much, but a 1 month supply without prescription is $20

not sure how it works but reddit user /u/AccuSource sells it

>>12224570
it's not really a chance, if you start weightlifting as a skinnyfat you will gain muscle garunteed, all that matters is going to the gym and eating food

I started out at 115 skinnyfat and in 1 year of disciplined lifting got to the point where girls I didn't know well would give me compliments

>>12224579
oh also I just read nolva doesn't reverse gyno, only stops it from forming, but he has other stuff if you were interested

anyways got to go, best of luck, with discipline you will all make it

let me leave you with some motivation

Question about calorie limit:

I'm 23yrs, 6'1, 165 pounds. Have probably lost 10 pounds over the 7 months, nothing too dramatic. In that time period I've started working out 2-3 times a week (lifting and running a mile each time), and am really going for ottermode more than anything. My food tracking app says my maintenance is 2,200 and an online calculator I just used says it's 2,400.

In general, I always thought that seemed like a lot. Are the apps/calculators legit? Like, are they overestimating my calorie intake or anything? I go under the limit during the work week, but almost always over on Fri/Sat drinking with friends...never realized how terrible beer is for you. Despite that, I'm under for most cumulative weeks though.

Moreover, should I try and eat more if I want ottermode? I already look lean with a bit more muscle, but is eating less while working out counterproductive?

Lastly, I never post here but thank you /thinspo/ for showing me the way. These threads are the reason I started losing weight. I love my collarbones, hip bones, jawline, and it feels good when my I visit home and my mom tells me to eat more. I secretly take it as a complement.

Since you brought it up, I'll bite.

I've had sex with 16 people in 3 years.

Not a single one has ever turned me down for not being a "real man," and that includes foreign girls, thick latinas, skinny bitches, conservative girls etc.

I HAVE had girls say the like how thin I am.

Being a musclebound autist is just as bad as a skelly autist. Any girl who isnt a dyke gym rat could probably deal with either body, and honestly musclebound and skinny get a 50/50 preferential split among women, so as long as you're one or the other, it all just comes down to confidence, wealth, and how put together you are.

You seem pretty autistic though, so I'll say regardless of how thin or how ripped you are, you won't get any wihminz.

Stop being a faggot.

I'm a weak faggot /thinspo/.
I normaly eat around 900 callories a day but yesterday friends of my threw a party and since i hadn't spoken to them for a long time i decided to not watch my intake during the party, ending up eating more than 5000 callories.

>>12224673

Calculators are bullshit. The best way to calculate you maintainence is to restrict a certain amount for 1 week then see how much you lose. If in a week you lose 1 lb then you've been eating 500 under your maintainence.

Well, I tried shrinking my portion sizes a few days ago, but still gave into to sugar cravings now and then.

The downside is that breakfast today was bigger than I wanted it to be because my gf was a bit concerned.

I guess i'll just start eating more lower calorie foods. How do you guys eat less and conceal your eating habits?

>>12225456
Studies have shown that most people have the similar levels of self-control. Those that do manage to resist their vices mostly do so by not getting themselves into situations where they might be tempted.

>>12225507
whoa what a dumbass you are, i should have never underestimated a mealcuck. you can still obey the first law of thermodynamics and have meal timing affect how fat is burnt. absolutely pathetic!

https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/first-law-thermodynamics-irrelevant/

>>12225509
okay your mealtiming is reasonable, and since you are in the fasted state you are still getting HUGE benefits and MASSIVE fatloss. however, I'd recommend you balance that out more and have a reasonable amount of calories, with more fat and protein than carbs. doesn't have to be ketosis, the whole idea of IF in my opinion is not having to fuck around with super special diets to get AMAZING results - but still keep that fat high.

>>12225498

>>12225503
I've tried this before, but my gf has been kind of checking out my phone. I might start writing the calories down beside what I eat, too? That's how they pretty much work anyhow, just won't really know what i should set a limit at

>>12225467
>not getting themselves into situations where they might be tempted

I've been trying to not get anything crappy, my failings mostly came from junk food we already had in the kitchen or lying around

i live alone, as you can tell

>>12225538
>but my gf has been kind of checking out my phone
tell that cunt to lay off

>>12225538
just memorize the calories of common foods and eat more or less the same things every day. it's not really as hard as it sounds

>>12225580
not that anon, but i'm maintaining and that's pretty much what i do. I have a rough idea and can count in my head, obviously if I start going up I know I fucked up but by weighing reasonably often that's pretty easy to catch

>>12225507
Thats basically all kinds of wrong. Take your maintainance caloriric intake, be sure, then eat that same amount of calories with an IF timing and you will start losing weight.

lol?

>>12225692
The point is CICO is not the beginning and end of weight loss. In addition to IF increasing metabolism and thus making weight loss faster, the less carbs you eat and replace it with fat, even at the same calories and protein, you will again lose more weight and retain more muscle. So CICO is only superficially true.

>>12225643
Yes

pure stevia is fine since it doesn't raise your glucose like regular sugar does

Just stay away from artificial sweeteners like splenda and stuff with sugar alcohol

Hey guys, interested in pursuing the 16/8 fasting method. I've never done any IF before, currently 22 y/o ~143lbs and 5'9". I exercise everyday weightlifting and cardio for ~1 hr so I'm decently lean and muscular, but really want that six pack. is 16/8 a good way to get there, or should I go for something else?

Also, if I'm doing 16/8 do I have to count calories at all? My TDEE is ~2600, so I should definitely still stay under this, right?

>>12225660
>t. butthurt mealcuck

>>12225852
should I cut cardio out of my workouts too? Or reduce the amount I do?

>>12225852
>>12225874
You should count calories still, especially based on your goals. I think 16/8 is a good choice. Train fasted, then eat right after you train. Longer fasts can be great, and I'd say work up to that, but don't do anything longer than a 24 hour since you are already pretty lean. Try the 16/8, see how you respond, then up if you if feel you need more. After you get used to 16/8, which takes about two weeks in my experience - maybe even a bit sooner, then I think you'll likely end up trying a bit longer just out of curiosity.

I'm at my goal weight now and still do IF because it's just so much more convenient.

As far as the cardio, I'd say you can still do it but if you are going to do some really long runs or something then you should probably eat. Just gradually move into IF, there is no rush. Maybe start with less cardio and work your way up once you realize how your body reacts. Also I found my body took a bit of time to get used to it. Now I'm not hungry outside of my window, and I feel energized, I simply get the energy from my fat stores rather than glucose.

>>12225643
No, it's better to eat two apples (32g sugar) than a tbsp of white sugar (4g of sugar approx).

>>12225811
>Just stay away from artificial sweeteners like splenda
so now I can't even have my coke zero :o(

>>12225972
You shouldn't drink the liquid jew anyway, regardless of the sweetener.

>he drinks coke zero

You don't deserve to be skinny

>>12225874
the more cardio you do, the better, just be aware that you might not be able to do as much/push yourself as hard when you restrict as you could before. it might be a good idea to work out not long after you've eaten

>>12225498
Teach me to IF pls.
I get too hungry.

>>12225811
wait...it's still okay to have 0 cal fake sugar during your eating window...right?

>>12226125

>it's still okay to have 0 cal fake sugar during your eating window...right?

Don't use artificial sweeteners, is literally poison

If you can find 100% pure stevia use that instead, it's 8 times sweeter than sugar, organic and 0 calories

I bought this

https://www.amazon.com/Concentrated-Artificial-Ingredients-Zero-Calorie-Substitute/dp/B00LFSOSRM/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486759204&sr=8-7&keywords=stevia&th=1

Just one pinch of this stuff is enough, it's super sweet. I use it a lot with coffee and tea.
