Okay, I don't know if this is the best place for this, so I'll keep it short and simple:
I've started cutting back my overall intake and have been looking into eating healthier.
However, there is one big issue I want to tackle along with this:
BLOOD PRESSURE
To give a bit of background, I'm 19, about 5'10" and currently weigh between 215-220 pounds, obese, not sugarcoating it. I've checked a couple of those machines that, at least if you're in America, can both check your weight and your blood pressure. Kind of like those things you see in pharmacies, but a bit fancier. Well I checked my blood pressure and, while my heartrate is normal, thank god, I have High blood pressure, 139 systolic if I recall. So my main priority right now is to cut that down as soon as possible. Heres what I know so far:
>What to cut back on:
Bread
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Oil
Cheese
Bread
Salt
Fried Food
Trans-Fats
I already don't smoke, an I don't drink coffee
>What to have more of:
Blueberries
Pomegranates
Apples and Bananas (I already eat these)
Vegetables
Fish
Lots and Lots of Water
>Other Things
Lots of Sleep
Light Exercise
Generally following the sticky (of course)
What I want from you:
Any thing else to cut back on/add to my diet, any specific vegetables
Recommended exercises and tips
Thank you for your time.

start drinking "From the mother" apple cider vinegar.
Don't do it longer than 2 weeks or it'll shove you into hypotension though.
Also, red beet juice/powder/whole(I forget) helps with blood pressure too.
>>40534351
How much vinegar should I drink a day? Should I do it for the 2 weeks exclusively or are there intervals?
Jesus Christ I rather die, I have high blood pressure too but you can't fucking drink coffee? What the point of living if I have to drop everything yet I don't smoke or drink. Fuck my genetics
It seems like after midnight the alphas go to bed and the betas come out to play. I can't stand the
>i'm so ronery
>genetics fucked me
>why am i so lazy
>it's not my fault
threads.
I just want to see good-looking women.
>>40534255
I just want to see fitness discussion desu, this has to be one of the most off-topic boards on the site.
>>40535435
Are u dyel?
what do you have to discuss regarding picking heavy weights up and putting them down again you fucking failure?
/fit/ is made for shitposting only, if you think otherwise you should hang yourself.
>>40535470
Biomechanics, physiology, nutrition etc. There are an endless amount of things that fall under the umbrella of "Health and Fitness".
The shitposting is amusing for a while until you realize it's basically all the same and doesn't actually improve anyone's situation in the slightest. Sure, there has always been shitposting here - it is 4chan afterall - but it's at the point now where the overwhelming majority of threads are full of shitposts and memes or ironic shitposting and memes, and the only one, ironically, where you can find discussion related to the topic this boards actually exists to discuss is in QTDDTOT. How someone can come here regularly and enjoy the same tired old shitposts being endlessly regurgitated is beyond me.
I did gomad for the first time today. I took a shit 7 times and 4 of them were literally liquid, like piss coming out my ass. Is this normal? Does it get better? I had no problems other than that.

workout for lunks.
these pseudo military courses are a rip, most guys who train for SF either have operational experience and a shit tonne of mental toughness.
but hey if it gets you off the couch do it.
>Another day wasted on 4chan...
When and how can i stop this /fit/? I don't want to be a useless NEET anymore.
i want to make life gains. I want to start doing something productive with my life instead of wasting away in my parents' basement posting on 4chan.
>>40533900
burn your boats of retreat
I'm a NEET and I love it.
What's so bad about being a NEET other than no gf or sex? (Or no wife/children and sex)
Having no gf or sex has obliterated my mental health and turned me into an extreme misogynist, but everything else is actually great.
>>40533900
A reminder that we're all going to make it. We have proof that it's possible.
What's a good way to meet women and introduce them to fitness?
We all know we're trying to summon successful qt Asian gf anon. If you're here, please give us a sign.
>Asian gf means making it
It's like the bronze of women.
Nothing more funny than seeing beta white anon drooling over a 2/10 fat asian girl.
Meanwhile Asian guys get White girls like this

>mfw I have no intention of stopping here
Thank you /fit/. Thank you for all the shitty fitness memes, fat hate threads, and a community that, as caustic as it appears on the surface, has genuine heart and wants you to succeed at improving yourself because everyone has been in the same dark waters of physical weakness and unattractiveness. Thank you for helping me make it this far and however much further we're going together.
We're all going to make it. Never give up.
Great job anon, I'm still going through my weightloss journey, im >>40533728 and im struggling but stories like this really inspire me. Keep it up we're all gonna make it.
Truly, all of us
Don't stop now
Why are you faggots such try hard alphas?
Why is it that at the first real shit you get into, your inner bitch shines?
Why is it that most people here lived their whole lives as betas and suddenly now they're the beacon of manliness?
Why do you autists keep pretending to be something you are not? (Don't even deny it)
You aren't men at heart, you're betas hiding under a manly cover.
Not even a bait, just sick of thr fitness communities bullshit, all of these nerds and geeks pretending to be something else.
>>40533735
you really sound like a true alpha frogposting on a fucking anime fitness board.
>>40533735

Anyone got a meme bell hip circle and can tell me if it's worth it?
Ive had incredibly tight adductors my whole life and am shit at activating my glutes and hip hinging
>tfw curled up in bed with cocoa and 1000mg of ibuprofen
Feel like I'm caught in a rut boys.
My training is getting worse overall, weight loss has plataeu'd, and I'm losing some of my gains.
I looked up the people competing in my weight class in the 93's soon and they're all strong as fuck, like absolutely beyond my reach.
Why. Where is my motivation.
How do I achieve this mode?

There's an actually an episode where they explained how he got jacked.
It was from resistance bands.
The magazines he ordered them from had pictures of steroid-tier bodies and claimed you could achieve that within a few weeks.
>Talk to girl in friend circle during get together

>She starts telling me a lot of sexual and personal shit

>She doesn't seem as responsive
>Drop her off home and blurt out that I thought the date would be different
>She seems shocked I like her and upset that I won't be her "friend" anymore
wtf man if a girl asks you for a coffee, alone, what else is it supposed to mean?
Shit got me rustled
you were supposed to have coffee when you dropped her off the first time dingus
>>40533475
She got mad when you dropped her off at home and made no attempt to make a move. You friendzoned her in girl language. She got mad at you in retaliation when you said that to her after the coffee.
Keep in mind that all girls believe that every single guy is willing an able to make a move on them with perfect timing if they are romantically interested. If the moment passes and you do nothing then she will have her feelings hurt, believing it to be a rejection.
>>40533555
I was going to work, I had brought that up hours earlier. So she couldnt be angry at that
Most alpha movement ever ?
>>40533212

C+J. no question
taking huge weight from the floor to overhead is top alpha.

This is it lads, I'm finally joining a gym. I have the L.A. Fitness site open as I write this. I'm a little nervous, but I know it'll be worth it. I don't wanna be an /r9k/ broesing skinnyfat anymore.
So, what was your first day at the gym like?
cancer. the first week is cancer. don't be scared if you feel sore the next day. It's normal. And for the love of god don't ego lift. start with literally the bar, and like 5-15lbs dumbbells untill you get the form down.

Honestly, im still dyel and really the people seriously do not give a fuck about you lol. Unless ur a hot girl u wont be getting any huge stares. First day was nerve wracking of course but as i kept going i realized no one even batted an eye.
>>40533201
Honestly it wasnt bad.
A week after i joined though, saw some jersey shore looking bro got choked out by some old bald dude in the parking lot if the gym.
Later i found out the old bald dude is a martial arts expert and has a pretty popular YT channel talking about mma or some shit idk
