/fat/ - Fatty General

What's the general consensus on water fasting for "little" amounts of weight loss? I'm 25 lbs away from my goal weight.

>>41467195
Water fasting seems like a stupid meme to me dude, but I will admit I haven't looked into it enough. You can reach your goal through normal means, though.

3rd for ez time fasting

>>41467195
It all boils down to how many calories you consume over a long period versus your TDEE over the same period of time. A single day fast can cut your weekly calories by 1/7.

For the guy last thread, lifting on a deficit isn't necessarily about burning calories (it helps), it's to minimize the loss of muscle while you're doing it

Speaking of fasting, I've been doing 18:6 lately and seeing some decent results. Thinking about amping it up as I roll out of keto and onto a normal diet plan.

Anyone do a low-carb, high protein IF and have some meal recommendations or maybe window recs? I'm tempted to try a 20/4 or a 23/1

who else /lightenoughtodopullupsnow/ ?

Finally below 215 and I'm able to do 5 in a row for the first time in my life. Feels good brehs

somebody said in the last thread that I would never get under 300 if I didn't count calories.
guess what? I don't feel like dealing with that tedious bullshit right now, because there is no need to. I guarantee I'm not eating more than 1500 - 2k MAX per day. when you are as big as I am, you don't have to micromanage your diet to drop pounds. It's not as if I'm shoveling gratuitous amounts of food into my face.

example today: three eggs fried in butter, two chicken drumsticks, a string cheese. that was it. and this is very typical. was the fat - protein ratio exactly perfect? probably not. did I eat more than 20g carbs? fuck no. did I eat more than maybe 1200 cals? nope.

I shouldn't even have to mention all the countless "lazy keto / diet" success stories I've read about on various forums and even on here.

I've no pics from since when i was 135kg, started lifting in January when i was 115kg (253lbs), 180(5'11) cm and 94 kg (207lbs) last pic and first pic was 106 (234 lbs), why i feel there's no difference and i'm making no progress and there's no muscles shown although have been lifting 5 times a week for past 4 months. The weight loss is getting slower and slower for past months, eating mostly vegies,rice,chicken breast,wholemeal pasta and stuff in similar manner.
Bench: 70kg/155 pounds
Deadlift: 140kg/320 pounds
Squat: 85kg/190 pounds
Ohp: 45kg/100 pounds

Progress pics. Do i've any hope for not getting really bad loose skin. Tfw doing all this to get noticed by flatmate that i kissed with and now got friendzoned and said i've no chance. What can i expect till september with hard dedication on diet/gym.

Bro you look the fucking same. Your diet is probably fucked. You can eat healthier and still eat too much. Especially with rice and pasta.

>>41467696
Seriously, if her refusal to sleep with you was a new years resolution, would you believe it?

>>41467507
Counting calories really isn't that difficult. i got a digital food scale and it really doesn't take much time. That being said if you really are confident you're not going over whatever limit you set for yourself then you will be fine.

Some people (like me) are autistic and need to know exactly how much they're eating. But if you don't feel the need then by all means don't count. You'll know soon enough if you're eating too much.

>>41467507

Nice attitude. Have fun staying a fat lazy piece of shit.

I'll eat a bit more but I'll likely stay under 1,000. I only had 1,200 yesterday and felt like I ate too much. I've noticed that I'm getting full off of half the food I used to eat for an entire meal.

>>41467617

Yeah i've the same feeling, but the difference between 9 of march and now is about 8-10 kg~. The difference is only visible from the side but i feel like nothing else changed and towards the end of March looked better. Diet is okay but lately i needed to cut the portions even more and replace one of the carbs in one of the two main meals of the day with vegies to start losing in relatively good pace.
>>41467751
This happened in March.

>>41467650
I would be focusing more on eating less than anything else at this point. But you've about 20lbs so you're making progress. Wait until you're under 200lbs and you'll definitely see a change. But you can't expect to go right from 253 to having very noticeable muscles that quick.

>>41467802
>>41467806
I think I'll just double my biking route today to 15 miles, rather than the usual 7. I'll add whatever calories are left over after working out on tomorrow's log so that I'll eat less, I suppose.

I'm 5'10", 220 lbs

Started at 235, been cutting for about a month now, haven't been counting calories, just started eating one or two good meals a day and cut out all other sources of calories.

My questions is, should I be concerned that eating too little will slow my weightloss?

Like, will 1000-1200 kcals a day for someone with a metabolism of 2000-22000 put there body in conservation mode?

>>41467806

Is getting rid of all tempting food in the house a valid strategy for staying true to my diet? It may not be a long term solution, but I need to make some progress and stop having setbacks.

Yeah, first time we just cuddled together and next time we kind of got a bit tipsy and i was about to go in my room to sleep she told me we should go chill in her room and while cuddling told her i like her and she said the same thing and we kissed and some other stuff and talked till we fell asleep. Next morning it was all about how she likes me and she'll be there for me but we should leave it for now since there's exams and huge summer break and it's pointless. Then told me she wants to be "free" while in uni and she doesn't have experience in relationship and is not ready and other shit like that. And when i tried to bring it up again she went like sorry for giving false hopes you've no chance. Well it all bogles down to the fact that she's really shallow when it comes to looks and height. Dunno i still think i've a slight chance but i don't know i just got really obsessed with her and i can't like anyone else.

>>41467469

Will the Lord forgive my extra burrito before bed?

I had a shake for breakfast and lunch with fruit.

But 2 burrito's post workout and one before bed won't kill me and my caloric intake especially after 1 1/2 hours of getting shredded?

>>41467507
that's not a lot of food for the day and very little fiber . eat a salad .

>>41467949
And you're the sick bastard losing all the weight in the contest, aye?

You just do a full 30 day water fast? What do you do for a living? Just training?

>>41467988
yep, I know. I just wasn't hungry.

>>41467940
I had some leftover candy when I started my diet and that's been the only junkfood I've had since. I regretted it pretty much every time I had some too. Not because it set me back but because such a small amount takes up so much of what I can eat in a day.

So yeah, anything you think is a threat to your diet you should probably get rid of. What that stuff is is up to you though.

>>41467989
im just dropping 5 a week, but yeah im already down to 265 this week. full water fast and gym 5 days a week + cardio

>>41468013
God damn. How do you find the energy for the gym and cardio?

>>41467947
Damn. So are you hoping to date her? I would think that once you get down to a certain level of /fit/ness you might have a chance. But the danger is that it will have been too long and be kinda awkward. But I don't really know about that.

If I was in that position I would wait til I was under 200 or really starting to show some muscle and then try the friends with benefits route. That is if she was sincere about wanting to be "free" during uni.

I'm pretty confident she just said bullshit just to make me snap off from here after what happened. Well i overheard her talking to her bestfriend on skype and she was saying that she really likes me but doesn't feel she should get into relationship with me and that she's afraid about the whole flatmate thingy. Well I'll have from 10th of July to 10th of September untill i see her again and if she doesn't finds anyone else i'll just go for it as soon as i can but gotta get as /fit/ as i can untill then.

That's plenty of time m8. Hope she is serious about not dating and that she'll still be single by September. At the very least you could hook up. Worst case scenario find another place to live if she can't stomach dating simply because you're flat mates.

Been reading up on intermittent fasting and it sounds pretty legit. I'm never hungry in the morning anyway and typically wait several hours before eating and also hate eating before bed so it shouldn't be too difficult right?

Anybody try this? Any success? Any tips?

>>41468216
>sounds pretty legit

Seems like a dumb fad to me, but from your description it sounds like you've been doing it already anyway. Good luck I guess.

What's better calorie loss with cardio, intensity or distance?
I've been just running a mile and upping the speed every other session. But would I burn more calories running a slower speed with a longer distance?

>>41468216
It's bullshit m8. I read up on it and they claim you can eat as much as you want and whatever you want and still lose weight.

I used to wake up at 11 AM and work 12 - 8 and not eat a bite until I got off work. So I was generally fasting from around 3am until 9 in the evening. Not only was I gaining weight but I felt like shit too.

The reason people say to not skip breakfast is so you don't over eat later on and this is 100% true. Now sure, you could intermittent fast and still stay under a certain caloric intake. But this would be no different than if you counted calories without intermittent fasting. It's just a placebo affect.

>>41467650
You are not going to see significant muscle gain while eating at a deficit, it's true that you can gain some muscle while dieting as a beginner, but the majority of your gains will be made when you begin eating at a surplus.

As for weight loss, you will have to eat less the lower you get. I would try lowering your daily calories a bit more. Good luck man.

>>41468260
HIIT is the best for calorie burning, read up on it.

so what is a good program for a fatty on his first day at the gym ?

>>41468328
Wrong. Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) that results from HIIT doesn't require nearly as many calories as extended cardio. The general rule of thumb is you'll burn about 35 more calories per mile from HIIT. Do 1 mile total distance of HIIT, you burn 135 calories.

Or, you can do a considerably longer amount of distance and burn calories steadily over time. You can sprint half a mile or run 5K. 65 calories vs 310 calories. Your pick.

>>41468260
Long distance. Rule of thumb for calories burnt from running is 100 calories per mile. If you're doing high intensity running (like HIIT for example), for every mile, add 35 calories. The math will always work itself out. You'll get significantly more tired doing high intensity running than long distance running. Keep it slow and consistent if you want to burn calories.

If you want to improve performance in the gym, HIIT. If you want to improve health, long distance. If you want to be a runner, do both.

If you do that on a ketogenic diet you'd shred pounds.

If you're dependent on glucose you dont wanna run less than 60% your daily chaloric output, but if you're "in keto" your body goes straight to the body fat, keeps muscle in tact while fat is available.

Cutting on Keto you can fast for 2 days straight and feel like a million bucks if you've got enough body fat.

Looking after my sick son has made this week such a disaster diet wise. No gym, eating badly, still going to martial arts but damn it's been tough.

About three weeks ago I first discovered /fat/ and decided fuck it I'm tired of being a fatass. I've lost 8 pounds since and I notice that I go from being hungry to not being hungry in the slightest; almost feeling full. This happens a lot even when I rarely eat anything throughout the day and I have to force myself to eat. Is this my body consuming shit to make up for the lack of food to sustain the weight or some shit? I want it to be.

>>41468693

I've had good early results with the kettlebell Simple and Sinister program. See if you can get a trainer to show you how to do swings and get-ups.

Won't get you huge, but it will get you stronger, and it also works as cardio.

The other bonus is you can do the exercises at home if you have a decent sized living room.

Is fasting a good way to go about weight loss? Also, I suppose that weigh-in should happen in the mornings.

The most important thing is losing weight, right now.

Cardio, lifting, or both?

Is it true you can't build muscle if you are trying to burn fat? Should I ignore lifting until my weight is lower? I've heard building muscle burns fat in itself, though.

Right now I'm just walking (a lot) but I'm ready to move on.

What are some netflix shows I can jack off to?

>>41470043
both

>>41470043
Do both, or at the minimum lift. I've been lifting just past 18 months and I'm already seeing muscle as my weight gets lower (about 240lb atm).

>>41470043
Both.
If you have to pick one pick lifting.

Yes the important thing right now is losing weight, but in the future it'll be having muscle. No you don't want to ignore it. And yes you can build muscle as a beginner on a cut. The more muscle you have the higher TDEE you'll have.

You'll also look better and feel better.

So I slowly worked my way to biking 30 minutes twice a day, but now my legs hurt when I go to bed and when I wake up. Should I skip today and bike less afterwards?

How often should I skip if this happens again?
I kinda intended working up to biking an hour slowly and calmly, and another hour with harder settings.

>>41470430
1 day at most.
Although if you're doing this 6-7 times a week you may want more rest days. Learn to differentiate between muscle soreness and actual pain. Soreness you can work through just fine, and actually will go away once you start biking.
Pain needs to immediate attention and rest.

>>41470430
its your legs building muscle, 1 day generally. i bike everyday through the pain.

I was 236lb October last year at 5'10. I'm 195lb today. I've stalled here this week, most likely because I've just started running again and did 4.5 miles the last 5/6 days, will be packing on some leg muscle. Anyway I stalled around 207lb for 6 weeks with about 1800-2200 calories a day. I could feel my body changing and it took 1400-1200 calories a day to see the same progress than where i was at 236lb.

I'm eating 1200 kcals a day approx for the past 3-4 weeks. Now I'm burning 450 minimum, maybe 250 more walking and cycling on top.

If you're asking a question like, if I cut an extra 1000 calories a day from my current 2200 calories diet will my metabolism slow. You have the wrong frame of mint to lose weight quickly. That's not a problem but expect your results to come much later.

1000 calories a day less will add up to 7000 calories a week. Which is approx 2lb of fat a week ON TOP of whatever 0.5lb a week you're shedding at 2200 calories currently. That's In perspective your gonna lose fat 3-6 times faster at 1000-1200 calories than at 2000-2200.

Oh it took 2-3 weeks to adjust. If it wasn't for 40 calories hot chocolates and 2kcal dilute juice squash I probably have given up. Having a diet soda now is more satisfying than having a full sugar soda when I was 236lb. I can promise you that.

At 2200 calories you have to track calories like mad because that 0.5lb weight loss you're expecting isn't going to be visible in the 2-6lb your body is going to fluctuate every day based on humidity/water consumed/retained etc...

I'm not bringing up water fasting or any other type of diet. That stuffs not for me, but I guarantee you 0 calories is going to lose you weight faster than 1200 is the same was 1200 is over 2200. Would I exercise on 0 calories. Not in my lifetime.

>>41470043
>Is it true you can't build muscle if you are trying to burn fat? Should I ignore lifting until my weight is lower? I've heard building muscle burns fat in itself, though.

If you build muscle then your body has to expend more calorie to maintain it raising your basic metabolic rate and calorie expenditure. Not only are you burning more calories when working out... Your body is burning more calories repairing the muscles after workout and maintaining the repaired muscle. You might see slower progress on the scale because you lose 2 lbs of fat and gain 1 lbs of muscle rather than losing 2 lbs and gaining none. But do you want to go down to 150lb and then up to 170lb and cruise in at 170lb with muscle (or your goal)

The main problem you're going to have is getting tired after a workout and over eating. You could spend an hour in the gym and out eat all benefit in 5 minutes with cream cakes.

>>41470550

Oh if you want to burn calories with cardio, cycle. You can cycle 4-5 times longer than you can run. Plus you will have massive legs which will help with that gaining muscle thing.

i would like to run 20 minutes every morning maybe 6 times a week, good idea?

i'm also on a 500 kcal deficit to lose weight on top but should i go on maintence level before the actual exam so i have enough energy?

Where's this thread been?

Been back on the cut, got down to 114 again. I know that it'll stay around that until I take a shit again. Been eating tons of fibre and veggies so it shouldn't take long, just got to be patient.

23 lbs in 4.5 weeks boys! 243 to 220, I'm 40 away from normal

>>41469809

Lol, suicide cutting has no real negative effects if you're obese.

>>41470679
How long do you have until the exam?
>1.5miles in 16 untrained
Fuck I'm so jelly of people with good lungs.
>>41470702
Congrats anon! I only recently hit 24.9BMI and boy does it feel good.

how long should i do a water fast if i wanted to lose about 30-50 pounds. and don't even respond to me with about how it's a meme or something, i just want my question answered

>>41470739
i have around 6 weeks
after those 16 minutes i'm legit dead though and i grasp for air so maybe it's because of my long legs and thus long steps (am 6'4)

>>41470798
I'm 6'3" have had asthma all my life and had two bouts of pneumonia; my lungs are so fucked it's not even funny. And I'm only 26.

Go 5 weeks at the 500cal/day deficit, on the last week, make it up to maintenance.

>stuck at 225 for a month
>Suddenly losing 3-5lbs a week
What the fuck

>>41470847
oh shit it's you rainman i didn't see that
we're friends on mfp (accumulategains)

sucks about your asthma though, friend of mine has it too and the only sport that he can do is lifting

>>41470679
Anyone help a fellow /fat/ guy out?

I've been trying to do cardio, but 15m of walking up and downstairs and my knees are fucked. Should I keep doing this or are there more efficient/less knee fucking cardio?

>>41470888
Oh nice! Don't look at my food today; I was caring for my sick son and ate so badly.

Yea, it sucks. My lungs are equivalent of a 50yr old pack a day smoker. Pneumonia doesn't fuck around.

I still train martial arts and do HIIT but I can't extended cardio because I just can't get enough oxygen in with light breathing. Need to stomach breath and even then it's hard.

As for your test, 5 weeks gives you a great time to practice C25K. Start with that, steadily build up. On the week of the exam, got up maintenance until the test and then come back down afterwards. Good luck man, I'm rooting for you!

>>41470906
are you fat as fuck or just fat with knee problems

use the rowing machine in your gym and go swimming if you're fat as fuck fat
those two types of cardio should suffice for now

also start lifting to strengthen your muscles

>>41470906
Swimming, elliptical machine, rowing. Technically anything that gets your heart rate up is cardio. You can do cardio medicine ball workouts

>>41470939
I don't know, I think walking up stairs just hurts my legs. Actually when I think about it, is less my knees and more my calves.

>>41470940
Anything I can do without going outside? I don't have a gym anywhere near me, and I'm a recluse. That's why I was walking up and down the stairs.

>>41467940
Of course, dude. Obviously that's a great idea. Stop doubting these things are start doing them. Thats your only hope.

>>41470955
Get an exercise bike off Craigslist. The bike is probably the best at home cardio, IMO, because you can do it forever and not feel like shit or fuck your running form the way a treadmill can

>>41470955
Biking, elliptical machines, rowing.

>>41468216
>people claiming fasting doesn't work in a /fat/ thread
I've been doing it for 2 weeks now. Fast for 20 hours a day, eat four hours a day. Went from 175 to 170 already, abs and jawline much more visible.

Is it hurting me that much if I have some crackers and a packet of chips every night? They're diet chips and I use diet cream cheese/marmite mix for the crackers, so only about 2-300 calories. It's the only snack I allow myself.

>>41468693
Starting strength for 2 months

>>41470955
Go for night walks if you live in a relatively safe place. I know the feeling of hating people watch me workout, it's why I paid out for a homegym.

As for home cardio, exercise bike is amazing; you'll get a shitload of use out of it, and you can bike for hours while watching animu/etc.

Alternatively, look up some exercises online and make a circuit. Convict Conditioning can be turned into HIIT if you do it fast enough and elevate your heart rate.

>almost summer
>still 92 kg
>not going to be 75 and not fat
JUST

>>41471034
Aim for next summer. It's winter here and I'm cutting until I see abs goddamnit! I will be beach sexy by November!

>>41471006
>diet chips
>diet cream cheese
ask me how i know you'll still be fat in 2 years

actually no, fuck that, ill try to help you instead of being an asshole
don't buy anything with diet or light written on it and before you ask why, just google it

>>41471058
It doesn't actually say diet on it, I read the calories and looked up the lowest cal, got philadelphia light and baked chips. About 100cal a bag for the chips and 25cal a teapsoon for the cream cheese. 20cal for each cracker. I know my shit.

>t. fattie who lost 100lb since last summer

>>41470927
hey man sucks about your son but you know what it takes to lose weight so a little drawback doesn't matter

what kind of martial art do you train? i did kickboxing for 2 years and it was the best cardio i've ever done. i've never sweat so much during any workout or cardio than with kickboxing

i just saw c25k says jogging 3 times a week. is jogging every day too much for a noob? i mean i might be still chubby but i'm athletic so i'm not a fat as fuck fatty who never did any sort of exercises

>>41471070
What's your deficit? Do you include your snack in your diet? Then CICO. You can lose weight on pizza and Coke if you portion control. Sounds like you got your shit sorted, and if it helps curb cravings I say go for it.

trivial question goys
it's starting to get hot and i sweat a lot under my armpits
what's better against sweat build up, shaven or long hairs?

>>41471089
Mhm, I would guess it's about 200-250kcal a day, which adds up to about like, half a pound a week maybe, which only really matters over long long stretches to maybe lose a few pounds. Ultimately I'm not sure it'd be worth cutting it because it gets me from day to day, but it's been frustrating how super slow my progress has gotten since I hit around 220lbs. Think I've got to do more exercise

Any advice on what fitness bikes I could get? A lot out there, I see mini ones with just pedals for cheap, obviously more expensive ones. Any advice for my fat ass?

Boys this morning has been the hardest yet.

Past two months has been body focus and i'm down about 23 lbs from my 275ish start.

Wake up with an intense hunger that pickles and 24 oz of water did not get rid of. Ended up eating a slice of pizza and it was the best taste i've had in a while.

I'm working it into my calories today but shieeeet I haven't started my day with so many calories wasted this early.

R I P

>>41471088
Yea man, I've done this little song and dance of lose weight before, I can do it again. Son takes first priority on all things.

Tkd, absolutely love it. Been doing it for 5yrs now, took a year off when I got major depression and gained my 40kg. Been back since January and getting shit sorted again. It really is the best cardio, and the fact it's a group environment means you push yourself so much more than you would by yourself.

I believe it's meant to coincidence with lifting on off days, but if you can handle it, go for everyday, but alternate with a "light" day on your lifting days. On the other days, go for it as hard as you can and try and push that number closer to 13m

>>41471104
Trimmed. Long hair is too hot but smooth is a fucking nightmare.

>>41471104
Shaven with antiperspirant. Blocks the pores.
>>41471108
Oh man, I'm at 180 something and I'm still losing a lot of weight. Height? I'd say if you need that snack to make it through, try reducing the portion sizes of your other meals in the day. Take them to about 2/3 the size and drink 1L of water with every meal. Should get you through

As for bike, don't go cheap. Nothing worse than having to spend $50 five times over $150 once. Obviously don't get some flashy piece of crap. Look for functional, and sturdy. Make sure it has at least 1yr warranty; mine the chain fell off after the second use, mechanic had to come out, turns out it's a common problem with the chain being too small on that range and breaking.
>>41471115
Stay strong my brother. If I can do it, you can too. Water and black coffe(or almond milk coffee) is our friend

>>41471134
Nothing to it but to do it.

May end up going to 2k calories today and calling it good enough; i'm not going to sleep tonight hungry and even at 2k i'm at a 500 deficit.

It's such a crazy feeling how your whole life you "don't eat that much" and truly believe it but then look at how DENSE those foods are and my average fatty day was well over 3k calories.

>>41471152
I know that feel my man. Holy shit. I used to eat pizza every night (worked as a delivery driver) and never thought about how 1 pizza is easily 2000cal.

I still cringe at some of the fatty things I did. Like the time I consumed 11000cal in Tim Tams in like a 2-3hr window.

>>41471108
Cheaper bikes might not be sturdy enough to handle your weight, think of that too.

>>41471133
trimmed to how long? 1 inch?
>>41471134
not really a fan of antiperspirant and other chemicals on my body so i always use a deodorant without aluminum
call me a hippie but i use non silicone shampoo, a regular soap instead of shower gels and generally try to apply as less chemicals on my body as possible
i even stopped drinking out of plastic bottles or eat my prepped meals out of plastic shit

To the fat fucks that want to lose weight but not exercise this board isn't for you so fuck off.

>>41471117
thanks mate and god speed

>>41471190
I agree but if you're morbidly obese any exercise can be damaging to joints and you need to be careful what you choose to do.

>>41471190
You can lose weight sitting on your ass all day as long as you eat less.

Say someone is 500 lbs do you realistically expect them to go job or do any compound presses?

Telling other /fatties/ you're better than they are won't help them fix their life style m8.

They could just do what wetty B did, shake around in place and throw their arms around as it will get their heart rate going.

>>41471184
Ahhh I can understand that man, no judgement here. Trimmed will be your best bet then, about half an inch long; just short enough to catch excess sweat but not long enough to drip down the hairs
>>41471190
Agreed! Keep that fat shaming coming my man!
>>41471193
You too man! I'm rooting for you!

please help my ego is keeping me off really getting fit and losing the last 10-20 pounds. I look good and well built with clothes on and without fat with wide love handles.

>>41471231
Nothing wrong with ego anon, but like all things (as a ex fatass you should know this) excess is bad. Why not take that ego, turn it around and push it to make yourself as sexy as you can be. Own your ego, make it yours, you WILL be that sexy as fuck guy everyone wants.

What the fuck is going on with my stomach

I was on a week long cruise ship, and eventually started to eat mid week with some mild carb intake. There was alot of salt on the food, but the water was 6 dollars a bottle, so I couldn't keep up with my 2 and a half liters (keto diet)

Now that I've come back, I restarted induction and went down to 500 calories no carbs for the last 2 days, eating nothing but eggs and salad.

I wake up and notice I have a fucking beer belly all of a sudden. I'm just baffled that I somehow got fatter from eating 1/4 my caloric intake. My gut is so fucking round now, holy shit. It legit feels like I just drank 2 12 packs of bud.

Anyone else had a similar situation? I've freaking the fuck out right now.

I'm gonna try the meal prep meme. Just froze 10 cups of beans in little baggies. Gonna cook rice for the first time when I can buy some. Guess I'll cook enough rice to last 3 days in the fridge since taking up all the freezer space would be douchy. Each day I'll mix a 3 cup baggie of beans with a third of the rice and drown it with picante or Sriracha. Sounds boring but boring is what I need. For good measure I'll drink a fruit smoothie. I'll have the calories of the rice figured out when I know how much that shit expands after being cooked.

I've never had a routine when it comes to eating, so I hope the rigidness of meal prepping will get me to treat food as fuel than a drug. There should be a comfiness in microwaving wholesome non-cancerous meals.

>>41472084
I'm feeling happier, so yes

>>41472084
yes

>>41472084
Yes. Holy shit yes. So much happier, so much more energy, even little things like not having a bloated stomach that makes me feel icky.

>>41472084
I was going to die alone and fat before, but now I can walk up stairs without sweating. Still going to die alone though.

>>41472084

I'm nowhere near my goals yet and I already feel like a new man. Went from sitting around in a miserable fatty stupor 24/7 to having to find willpower to chill sometimes and not over exercise. Also made life gains and dealt with a load of problems I was avoiding and letting pile up for months/years.

So I've registered for a gym membership and tomorrow will be my first day.
I'm about 1,90m tall and weigh about 87-90kg and have really big man boobs which I am very ashamed of. Also I'd like to train my shoulders.
Do you have any tips?

How are you today fatties

>>41472275
read the OP? and sticky?

>>41469870
Show pecs anon

perhaps jumping the gun a bit here, but it's best to know ahead of time;

when going from a deficit to maintenance, is it a good idea to wean yourself onto more calories gradually or just jump straight in?

>>41472383
gradually, because you dont want to end up gorging yourself and think everything is fine. like, instead of 1 tbsp of peanutbutter, have two

>>41472394
okay, so what kind of timeframe?
few months?

I just want to play it as safe as possible
I'd REALLY like this to be the last time I have to lose weight

>>41472399
if you're only cutting 500, its not hard to work back to maintenance. a week or two would be ideal, gradually every day add back 100

How do I measure pasta correctly? for example, had some Rotini that said 3/4 dry 200 cal serving. I would think it would be easier to just measure by scale after it's cooked.

Any fatties here have any experience with doing 24 or 36 hour fasting every other day?

How has it worked out for you?

>>41472497
You can't burn fat in specific areas. just keep losing weight and your pot belly should steadily go away. Mind you that even if it doesn't feel soft, fatty tissue can coat internal organs, under your abdominal muscles.

>>41472533
Apple cider vinegar + garcinia cambogia or whatever is a massive fucking scam and should be avoided at all costs. Apple cider vinegar itself has some questionable health benefits such as potentially lowering cholesterol or improving insulun sensitivity, but if weight loss is your goal it won't help you.

Anyone have good advice or links to keto basics, recipes, and snacks? already been eating at a deficit for awhile and doing IF but want to preserve muscle

Depending on how you cook it has more or less water, so weigh dry, cook and divide if you made more than calorie portion.

Ok fellow fatties, I've lost a bunch of weight but never reached my goal and I've been doing bad on maintenance, I've crept back up near 300.

My doctor threw bariatric surgery at me, and I was like wth I didn't think I was a candidate.

My other cheat as fuck option is I have a bottle of phentermine I've yet to try.

My big problem is I have zero energy and I'm in constant pain, totally unchangeable stressful life situation and while I'm hoping to have some time and energy to actually get outside and walk or something now that it's summer it's just a hope. I'd like to just shortcut the weight loss and get back on track that way, feel more like doing shit at the end of the day rather than barely making it.

What do /fat/?

>>41472671
If you're not hungry, don't eat. Start your intermittent fasting early, and reap the extra calorie deficiency and extended fasting time.

Hey dudes,

So I'm 50lbs down since mid feb. Been lifting about 5 weeks.

Problem is, my lifts are all fucked up. For example:

OHP - 75 max for like 4 reps
BP - 135 1rm
Squat - 135 x 5, feel I could do more but I don't want to have bad form and fuck up my back
DL - other day I did 135x5 on my last set, then did 2 reps at 175
Bent over row - did 115 x 5 on my last set on Monday, struggled hard to do them properly
Lat pulldown - can't seem to get past 90Lbs on my last set, struggle like a mother fucker to pull down those last two reps.

1. I've been following the sticky program, sean10mm's stripped 5x5, but instead of AxBxAxx, BxAxBxx, I just do AxBxx(AB)x (so basically A+B on Saturday) Is there a problem if I started doing AxBABAB (I don't have time to lift on Tuesdays, so that would be my day off)

2. Since I'm having trouble progressing some of these lifts, does that mean I need to do more volume? Or less volume with higher intensity?

The program says to start with lower weight and move up, so I usually start with a lower weight and add 10lbs each set (e.g. BP is 5 reps of 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, then 1 rep at 135). I assume this is to warm up muscles, because when my workout is finished I feel so much stronger and I feel I could hurl the empty bar like a javelin, but idk if I should start with heavier to try to increase strength.

I'm so lost. Please help.

Even skinny/lean people get belly rolls/folds when they sit or bend over, you'd have to be shredded as fuck and dehydrated too probably not to. You just don't see models in that position or if you do they photoshop that shit out.

If you're in that much pain, fix your weight in the kitchen, not the gym.

Stop eating like shit and you will probably lose enough weight to start walking, then running and lifting.

We keep in touch over facebook, but the house is empty without him. I've never been so inspired by anything.

And that is my /fit/ idol.

>>41472731
doesn't even matter for me lately. I'm overeating all the time. I can't figure out why I'm so hungry. I'm trying to keep my diet high fat low carb, that doesn't seem to help at all.

>Can't jog or run for more than 15-30 seconds without my legs/feet aching in pain, and have to stop

>Recently discovered that walking fast at a high incline on treadmill (Like 10.00+) burns calories REALLY fast

>ACCORDING TO MACHINE, I burn an insane amount of calories by exercising at a super high incline rather than trying and failing to jog/run at 0.00 incline at a higher speed

I thought I struck a gold mine, but my weight has only gone up. Granted, it hasn't been a full week yet, but what the fuck? Either the calories burned that the machine is telling me is deceptive, or maybe I'm also building tons of muscle at the same time which is fucking with my weight value.

>>41472728
I don't know why I'm so insecure about them, they never go away. I should just be used to them.

>>41472773
Or maybe you're not tracking your calories and still eating 4500 a day.

It's way easier than it sounds.

Also, those machines seriously over-estimate

>>41472709
behold, the power of research
>BMR 2k
>TDEE 2.4k
>goal 1.8k

>>41472591
Dunno why that guy is calling it a scam when it's so fucking cheap. Make sure it has Mother (good bacteria) in it. If it's murky it does. A lot of the supposed health benefits are from the bacteria. It's a prebiotic. Look into probiotic rich food too. Having a healthy gut biome absolutely helps with weight loss.

Lost ~80 lbs over the last year, but my loss has been stalling a lot. 5'11" 192lbs. Decided it was time to start lifting and just maintain.
first day of SS did:

squat - 90x3x5
OHP - 65x3x5
DL - 135x3x5

felt like I could do a little bit more on squat and DL, but wanted to play it safe

Felt like a fool for most of the time, but I figure everyone does their first day, right?

>>41472773
don't trust calorie counts on machines and don't count calories burned toward your deficit.

>>41472810
Not a great decision, you still have a very high bodyfat and need to keep losing lots of fat.

>>41472825

yeah I know, long term it will help me lose fat though.

>>41467502
Good for you bro. Here's to improvement.

>>41472798
Garcinia cambogia is a scam because the viral marketers for the shit claim that it will help you cut weight at high dose DNP levels when combined with apple cider vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar is not a scam, but will also not do much to help you lose weight which I assume is a focus, given the thread we're in.

Which is better? A stationary bike or just a regular one?

>>41472773
Eat at a deficit for moderate/low exercise
Ignore treadmill numbers
Keep doing treadmill

>>41472718

>>41471464
embrace it friend

Gone from 236.5lbs -> 219lbs from April 1st to today. Is that good rate of weight loss? I wish it were quicker, I want to be attractive.

>>41472722
So you haven't overeaten, you just have no intention on stopping yourself... Failure, why even bother or cry for attention here?

>>41472942
what's your routine and what are your macros like?

>>41472942
It's faster than recommended, but it'll likely slow down soon. Don't try and rush it, just gotta keep going.

First day at the gym today, did cardio and machines for 90 min. My left arm is fucking useless.

>>41472952
No, I do have intention of stopping myself.

>>41472953
Macros are kind of bad. I eat whatever I want, just in smaller amounts. 1,500 calories a day eaten, and then either go biking or walk that night. Typically I burn around 300ish calories according to fitbit during said exercise.

>>41472890
>will also not do much to help you lose weight
Ya know what screws up weight loss? Diabetes, inflammation, bowel cancer, GERD, etc. Unfiltered ACV helps with all this. Also it kinda kills your appetite. Should drink an ounce or two before every meal that you think is gonna cause your bloodsugar to spike. I fear decades of eating like shit has screwed up my organs. We're probably at high risk of multiple chronic illnesses. We can't afford to just look at weight loss as calories in/out.

>>41472990
honey you need to fix that! eat your proper macros!

>>41472990
its recommended that people only lose 1 to 2 lbs a week.
so as long as you're cutting between 500 and 1000 a day you should be fine.

macros are important because protein is what you need for muscle repair and maintenance so you'll lose muscle as you lose fat if you don't get enough protein which means you'll look like a dyel faggot when you're done.

fat is important for hormone balance which you need to maintain so you don't get depressed and binge or kill yourself

carbs are mostly what you want to cut when losing weight because chances are you eat way to fucking much of them

Any advice for absolute fat noob gym routines? I'm going to a planet fitness btw

guys some thrifty friend of my mom brought in a stepmaster machine to give us, and I've been using it for a couple days. it works with some sort of hydraulics that inflate up and deflate down on each step you take going up or down, and you have to apply pressure which is relative to climbing a steep 50% hill I would say from experience hiking. Now on myfitnesspal the closest I got to finding this exercise is "going up the stairs" (translated from my language) which is roughly 7 calories per minute. Do you guys think this is a good estimate? I have read online that a stairmaster - kind of the same gig burns 300 cals an hour, so roughly 5 cals a minute.

>>41473040
That's fine my guy. I'm just concerned that people may treat it as a "bonus" or something with their normal cut. Develop a though pattern that kind of goes like "well I cheated today, but it's okay because I had my apple cider vinegar" and the like. And then months down the line being the same weight and wondering where it all went wrong.

You've probably heard it a million times but just to reiterate for everyone reading the thread, there is no magic bullet for this shit. It takes time, can take effort, and it might not be easy.

Just stay safe anons

blow them off, be my waifu

none of my clothes fit

...yay?

>>41473276
In what way

>>41473276
My clothes fit but they're all too big

At least with t-shirts or tops, they just sag and are baggy. Had to get new jeans because they sagged like a fucking sack and I looked like an actual fucking hobo.

t. 214lb fatty down from 320

>>41473297
yes, I;ve had to buy new jeans twice now
used to wear 42" but bought some 36" when they looked too ridiculous to hide
then 34" when the 36" started to fall down without a belt

I still wear the same tee-shirts, and I've always liked my teeshirts baggy, but they really hang off me now

buying new clothes isn't really in the cards right now
and it would all be for nought in a few months anyway

>>41473317
I always wear braces to keep up my jeans. Might want to see if I can get ones small enough to stay up, but braces are nice to not worry about being pants'd by your own jeans.

Right now I'm about a 44 inch or a little less. Used to be a 56 inch waist.

This recipe just made my day. So very happy I can get some use out of my waffle iron without any guilt.

>>41470043
I just do chin ups for my lifting. It seems to be the best overall upper body builder without fucking your shit up like people who say just bench press. I do biking for lower body. I should probably start doing side leg raises too to balance my legs. On the floor like a girl.

I quite like the fasting at the minute as I always struggled towards the night not to break my diet. Don't eat until 2pm but you've got the motivation as you know you got loads of food to come, drink a few coffees, some zero calorie soda. Then at 2-6PM eat all your calories, be it 2 meals or one massive one. Then you feel full until you go to sleep.

It feels good man.

>>41473415

>not disgusted with my body anymore
>actually willing to go out in public and be seen by others
this was the majority of my problem. i hated my body and never left the house because of it. no wonder i had no social life, lmao

>>41473461
Me except I still have no social life. In fact I have about 1 friend who I barely see, the other lives 2m from me but doesn't answer my texts or messages anymore, and hasn't for 6 months.

Sucks because I can't show him all my progress since last year, I'm like a totally different person. Last time I saw him and his faggy housemate I was a hamplanet, probably embarrassed myself a little. And this is how they will remember me for all time now probably.

It's pretty painful.

>>41473443
I used Myprotein's vanilla flavored whey isolate in my batch. Came out a little sweet, but very I'm all for that. Unflavored may be a better choice if you plan on incorporating it into baking recipes.

guys, I am looking at counting the calories burned weight lifting lightly to moderately - I am a 62kg womanlet take that into account - and I've found one exercise calorie calculator so far that tells me I should be burning 343,2 calories per 10 mins of exercise (my starting time for a 8x3x10 routine with no breaks kind of like HIIT weightlifting). Now that amount of calories sound ridiculous. Another website with a different calculator gives me 31 calories per 15 mins. Now which one is the most accurate according to you? I'm looking for a rule of thumb to go by when entering my exercise into myfitnesspal which doesn't have recorded exercise calculations for weight lifting yet.
Many thanks.

>>41472891
Depends on where you live and if there are good trails, but I much prefer a normal bike, way more fun to bike around through the woods on a nice day than sit in your house going nowhere imo.

>>41473481
If you're like me you shouldn't want people to recognize you. Too much baggage. I'd rather they see me and think nothing at all instead of "it's Anon"

>>41473502
not sure yet
I've been eating the same 4 or 5 things for the past 10 months
I'd love a change

hello /fat/

fat then skinny then fat again here

I had originally followed this and went from 270 to 210 in about a year, then i relapsed. bad. back to 290.

Fast forward to now. Got a really fucked up cramp while having sex. (she's fat too i aint braggin) After that i lost some feeling in my right leg. The feelings are still there but it is dulled.

Anyone else experience a cramp that turns into numbness? Pinched nerve?

>>41473513
I used to be like that, but now I feel confident enough I'd like to meet them and rub my weight loss in their face. I don't know about you but I was pretty fucking gross and was fat for most of my life. I probably weigh as much now as I did ten years ago. At least these two guys I'd like to show it off to, maybe not friends from 10+ years ago, but they're long gone now.

Though I do get what you mean, frankly would not be against moving away at some point soon, and family seems to think this could happen. Starting afresh and not having to run into any of these stupid faggots again would be nice as I have almost nothing left here except some good and bad memories.

All I want is a few friends and an autistic vidya playing gf. If only I wasn't such a shy little bitch it might happen. Think I even got hit on by my supervisor but I'm too autistic to have noticed at the time. Such is my life.

>>41473506
Don't count calories burned working out.

>>41473535
go to a doctor

also, fucking pathetic man

>>41473535
I lost feeling in my foot but it was a tumor
I doubt it's a tumor

how much powder can you add while still having a runny oatmeal? genuinely curious

>>41473535
Sounds like nerve damage or pinched nerve for sure.
Losing weight fixed what I thought was nerve damage or the start of it.

>>41473937
Yeah but oats will fill you up.

>>41473937
do you have diabetes?

>>41473944
just add more water for runny-er oatmeal
you can make it any consistency and have to play with it.

I like 1 part oats 1 part protein 2 parts water

>>41473944
Literally as much as you want if you keep adding almond milk/water.
I always do 1 scoop per 2 cups oats though.

>>41473970
No, but I was told eating high fat low carb would make me less hungry [spoiler]it hasn't[/spoiler]

>>41473965
maybe I'll try that. what about just microwavable oatmeal since that's faster?

>>41474017
and I corrected you and told you that oats are what you want if you don't want to be hungry.

>>41474017
>what about just microwavable oatmeal since that's faste
Yes, this is fine. I use the quacker oats quick shit.
2 cups oats, 1 cup whey protein, 2 cups almond milk or however much I feel like, potassium salt. Zap it for like 1-2 minutes.

You can add fruit too, whatever fruit you like. Berries are usually the most popular.
Oats are pretty high cals but they keep you filled.

>>41474017

Okay, I'll try that thanks. No fruit I think that has a lot of sugar right?


>>41474065
What's a fat bomb?

Who here does 36 hour fasts over 24 hours?

I'm about 3 hours away from completing my usual 24 hour fast per week, but considering extending it to 36 if it provides a signficant benefit. Any fasting bros around?

>>41474092
There is nothing wrong with having 1-2 fruits a day. Not much else you eat is going to have sugar in it if you're eating correctly, so it shouldn't matter. Some sugar is OK. (ie fruit)

>>41474092
oats got dat low GI

You lose more weight.

So I lost about 50 pounds since January doing spinning 5 times a week and using a virtual spinning program. I'm also getting some push up bars. I aim to lose about 50 more pounds or so but things seem to be slowing down quite a bit (I guess that's expected though). Is this a good enough exercise routine? I can't make it to the gym for medical reasons related to my nerves for which I take medication (and will probably get surgery for soon). I don't starve myself either (learned my lesson the hard way with that) while keeping a pretty decent diet I think (drink only water, 3 meals a day eating a lot of the things described in the guide).

>>41474161

>>41474084
You don't, they're there so that a man can grab you by those handles and fuck you in the ass

>>41474177
Whatever works for you man. If you really want to keep on track start counting calories.
Stationary bike is fine. If you can, try body weight routines to help build a small amount of muscle.

Great job m8. That's literally my exact same numbers as well. I started at 237 and just weighed in at 219.

What's your height and age?

Started at 250 back in January. I'm now almost down to 220! I was getting really concerned when I felt my XL shirts were getting too tight. How long until I can fit comfortably in L shirts?

Hey fats, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year ago.

Ever since I found /fit/ and began dieting and exercising, I've found my blood sugar levels being stabilized around the clock.

Today, I completed my first 24 hour fast, and made sure to monitor my blood sugar every 2-3 hours throughout and my numbers have always remained stable: never dipping down to hypoglycemia levels, when I feel like I would have back in the day when I wasn't dieting and exercising.

Just wanted to share with other type 2 diabetics, to not give up.

Today I learned what it was like to be triggered.

I'm down about 130 pounds, from 315 to 184.

I've been looking forward to my first cheat meal in 6 months this week. Was gonna go see Alien and get a bunch of kinoplex snacks.

But today was extremely hot, and I had horrible ptsd flashbacks to when I was obese and would be sweating like a disgusting pig in this kind of weather, yet still going to fast food and choking down 5000 calories in a single meal.

Now I don't even want to bother with the cheat meal.
