/fat/ "one day at a time" edition

I worked out for two hours yesterday with 90% of it being cardio, and I didn't go over my daily calories, yet I still gained a pound. I'm so infuriated because I feel like I did something wrong.

>>41575041
Not helping at all.

I'm not.amazingly fat but I could stand to lose ~5 kilo
6 foot 175 lbs maybe 15-20% bodyfat
I can finally see my top row of abs
Feels good man.

>>41575027
day to day means nothing, track for trends over long periods of time. im 5'9" and my weight will fluctuate between 185-192 day to day depending on how much water i'm holding

>sign up for gym on tuesday since my schedule's good this sem

I want to go to a gym but I feel that gyms are for people that are already fit semi fit.

I don't know why I think this way.

>>41575041
thanks

>>41575076
Yes. Soreness stops in a few weeks.

>>41575082
Because you're fat.

>>41575082
That's why I just bought a pair of dumbbells and work out at home

>tfw want to drop 20lbs asap
>eating 1,500 under would make me lose this in 7 weeks

Losing weight is hell.

>>41575131
>Losing weight is hell.
no
Losing weight quickly is hell

>>41575136
So is losing weight slowly when you have a lot to lose.

Opinions on intermittent feasting?

I'm exactly where I was 4 years ago now

back then I dropped 60lbs in 3 months through crash dieting and daily amphetamine use
gained it all back of course, and then some

all you had to do was not eat like a piece of shit

it's all your fault

>mfw touching my sexy 6 pack atm

>>41575157
it's easy
but occasionally I forget to eat at the end of the day and start feeling depressed until I eat which is sometimes dinner the next day.

>>41575157
you mean fasting

>>41575183
No I don't.

>>41575184
never going to make it

>>41575174
gimme time dammit

do you count your macros, /fat/?

>>41575251
there's no reason you shouldn't

>>41575251
Yes.
It's always 3.

>>41575251
nope, just calories
don't give a shit beyond that
yet

>Apple

weigh in

252.8


i WAS 250.9 but i retained a ton of water since increasing my sodium

>>41575251
I aim for 130-175g protein and limit carbs.
Otherwise I don't give a fuck.

>>41575281
> I only count 2 out of 3 but maintain an upper limit for all three combined
bruh just say you count your macros

>>41575302
I only count protein. Carbs I just try not to eat a lot.

>>41575054
I normally fluctuate between 184-186, but since I finally dropped down to almost 182 it gets frustrating to see me jump back up to 184. Maybe I'll try and cut back on the sodium to see if that helps too.

>>41575281
Carbs are good though.

>>41575384
Not after years of being a fatfuck and having pre-diabetes.

>>41575027
Did you drink a shit load after doing 2hrs of exercise? Bc that would add weight

>>41575272
This is why you're fat

>>41575402
Kind of? I drank about the equivalent of two water bottles after working out. that could be it as well.

>>41575431
nope, sorry to disappoint

Not obese, just a manlet, cutting pretty decent atm with a keto diet

I don't get why some of the lardasses here have a problem with going to the gym because they're afraid of being shamed

1. No one will care if you come to the gym or not, to everyone else at the gym you're just another fat guy trying to lose weight and they'll forget you 10 seconds after they first see you
2.If you stick with it and slim down, you will be respected and people will compliment you
3.No one will shame you unless you stand around, play with some weights and leave to never come back.
4.You can just ignore about what people will think about you when they see you at the gym, you're not doing anything wrong and you're just trying to better your life. go to the gym do what you gotta do and leave.

I've lost 1lb since last week. I hate this fluctuating water weight bullshit. What really pisses me off is I know I'm going to take a massive shit in about an hour.

On to next week I guess. Fuck.

>>41576067
On a positive note, I got my lab results back today. No longer pre-diabetic, my HbA1c was 5.6, which is at the top end of the normal range. I don't remember what it was two years ago when I got lab work done, but I remember doc saying I was in the pre-diabetic range, so pretty happy about this. Actually, all my levels came back in the normal range. Small victory despite the scale number.

>>41576067
don't worry about it

get a BF% thing
as long as that number keeps going down, you're golden

>>41576041
no way, fag

Weight loss is more noticeable in the long run. Don't worry too much about your daily weight fluctuations.

Took 3 years of living on my own with clean eating and walking a lot.

Then without knowing about it, I've been at home and eating much much more home cooking and now I'm in this thread.

>>41575010
I achieve about 1500 cal deficit a day by combination of diet and exercise, which includes about 750 cal worth of uphill walking for about 1.5 hours every other days. On alternative days I lift weights. How detrimental is walking to gaining muscle?

>>41575027
Pound is like glass and a half of water... did you drink water that day??

I've never brined my chicken, only my pork. I always cook chicken on the grill or in the slow cooker, so it always comes out joocy that way, but let us know how it works out if you're baking it.

>>41576164
It's Friday.

That's my drinking day.

So, I'll go over, but try and squeeze a really hard workout in before I start slamming them.

>>41576133
It's one of the least straining forms of cardio, one of the best for them gains (not impairing regeneration), keep at it.

>>41576089
Fucking aces man, I'm really happy for you! Great job

Currently in prehypertension myself so im trying to lose some weight, so i totally know how you feel. getting out of that danger zone is such a genuine relief

>>41575251
i 60/20/20 cfp. works out good for me and i can lift more on this versus when i tried higher protein less than a month back.

Hi, I lost 15 kg in a month from 100kg to 84.5, But I still have manboobs. Is there a chance to lose them just by exercise or surgery is my only option?

>>41576209
That's great to know, thanks!
I've got hooked on audiobooks recently. That helps a lot with killing time while walking.

>>41576273
depending on your height 84.5kg can be pretty big. Keep losing weight, and building muscle for now.

>>41576273
If it is hard you are fugged but if it is just fat then yes

>http://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
Hi fatties, I used my pant size (29 in) and just the default on neck (unknown) and it gave me this:

Body Fat 13 %
Fat Mass 20 lbs
Lean Mass 130 lbs
Body Fat Category Athletic

But when I guess my "navel" width (maybe 26-27"?) it shoots down to this:

Body Fat 6 %
Fat Mass 9 lbs
Lean Mass 141 lbs
Body Fat Category Athletic

What does this mean and how can I calc this manually? I'm not Auschwitz mode but my ribs are visible. What does it mean?

>Apple

>>41576322
That body fat calculator is beyond worthless. It's the same one the US military uses, and means nothing. it only factors in your neck size, height, and nothing else.

>>41576350
So how can I reliably calculate body fat? I know I have basically none of it, but actually curious about the exact %

How much lifting do you guys do? I'm skinny fat so I'm pretty sure I need to cut but I'm not sure how effective lifting even is when you're eating at a deficit.

I'm not him, but here's mine

Take a muffin baking sheet (the little cup ones)
Beat together 6 eggs and 1/4 cup of milk, along with salt and pepper
Shred some ham (personally prefer black forest) and put it at the bottom of the muffin cup trays for 7 quiches
Pour in milkeggs mix on top of ham
Drop handfuls of shredded cheese into the mix
Cook for 25-30 minutes

Eat em within 3 days

>>41577269
Not him, but for pizza you can make the paste with cauliflower (5g of carbs per 100g). It's not very good but the taste is easily covered by other ingredients. You could use it for your quiche.

Bros, I fucking hurt in a literal sense

Whenever I lie down to sleep after being low carb for a while, my upper back aches. I keep waking up from nightmares where I'm suffocating or dying because of how my body's mildly seized up, like it's sore

But I'm not lifting. Am I deficient in something? I'm taking a multivitamin every day and eating tomatoes for potassium

Hey /fat/ I've got a question I'd like some input on, So I'm at 250 lbs for 290 lbs over like 3 months. However, I recently took up a job in the health care field where I walk at least 5 miles a day. And I just cannot eat enough calories I feel. This past week I've only eaten around 1,000 calories a day. Stemming from this loss of appetite. Any thoughts or Advice? Is this okay? I work 40 hours a week if that makes a difference.
TLDR; fat boi gets active job and can't into eating anymore.

>I work 40 hours a week

I'm 120kg (which is like, 260lbs) and losing weight is so hard, I know I'm pathetic and there are no excuses for being as weak as I am, but fuck dude, I fuckin' love soft drink and shit so much, I can't get enough of it. If I had to choose between coke and a nice dinner I'd pick the coke every time, I feel disgusting but I've been this way for so long now that it's hella difficult to cut soft drink out and do regular exercise. But I also really hate myself and hate the anxiety that comes with being fat and gross so I just feel depressed constantly and every time I drink soft drink I want to puke it up but at the same time the shit is so fuckin' good.

Not that anyone cares but I just wanted to get that off my chest

For me, the shits have been my raw tomato diet for my potassium and antioxidants. Fucking insoluble fiber, man. I'd eat peas with the shells on and tomatoes for each meal for them yummy nutrients if it didn't come out of me in loose diarrhea-style stool

Try switching to carbonated water

You'll get a mild taste and the carbonation effect, might be easier to switch off

>>41578140
I was you in the past, I know how it feels. Cutting out soft drink was easy though, just switched to diet. I imagine you tried that already but it worked wonders for me.

>>41578172
not >>41578140

but I used to drink 3 2 liters of Mountain dew a day. I decided I wanted to lose weight(was at 335) and so I cut my total Calories down to 2000. and that still wasn't enough, and so I relised all the Fucking pop was way to much, and so I decided to never drink pop again unless it was a special occasion.

Water is such an amazing drink anyways. trying to drink Soda after going almost 100% water is just to good.

one of the biggest problems a lot of obese people have is they drink FAR to much Fucking Soda. 1 can a day is the absolute maximum you should ever have, hell I'm of the opinion that you should only have 1 can of pop ever 2 weeks.

>>41578251
I used to drink shit loads of water but diet works better for me as it gives a nice sensation of soda without the calories. It's so harmless it may as well be water.

Nonetheless water is better, but I'd sooner cut out my daily (((snack))) than zero calories from diet soda. Maybe one day I'll do that when I'm at like, 180 and have to do serious work to lose.

>>41578251
My mom used to drink Fresca and Diet Coke a lot when I was a kid.

I slowly lost my taste for it (I only drink Diet Coke to settle a stomach maybe twice a year), and honestly, I've never been above 135lbs at 5'7" even though I ate pretty poorly as an adult

Ditch the soda, it's fucking you up more than you think. I only drink water and soy milk, and on rare occasions, orange juice heavily cut with water

So I made it and it was pretty great man.

I brined for 3 hours with a solution of salt, honey, added some parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Jk, I didn't have any parsley or sage. Made a rub of salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Worked great with chicken.

Also, I was sure to rest the chicken in the oven. I think that helped a lot.

Truly delicious, I'll have to do it again soon with more, better-quality chicken. This impress the girls for sure. The chicks will get all hot and bothered.

>>41575027
Stop weighing yourself daily you fucking moron. Good luck and stop being stupid.

167lbs reporting in

Hit a new low of 208lbs. Got to say though, it's a real grind getting down even this low. So much harder and for less loss over time. Why do I get the feeling once I get down to 180lbs I'll have to practically starve myself to see okay losses.

>>41578339

damn you

>>41577344

>>41578362
Stop treating it as a quest. You gotta fix your eating habits for life. Learn to cook, eat low carbs, and use common sense. You don't actually even have to work out to hit a caloric deficit.

Then use a cheat day.

Low carb cheat days sound counterproductive. Actually, it’s a key to faster fat loss. As our body adapts to routine, leptin levels drop and weight loss slows.

Leptin is a hormone that controls metabolism and hunger cravings. After a few weeks of dieting, leptin levels drop and we store more fat.

Use a low carb cheat day to outsmart your body. Eating more calories, carbs and fat one day a week raises leptin levels.

Raising leptin levels keeps your body primed for rapid fat loss all week.

>>41578385
>eat low carbs,

stopped reading precisely there

So i can at least say i started, now.

After 1,5 month successful diet, i've been to the gym today (after 4 years), i'm in for heavy doms for a day or two. Work gonna suck on the weekend, but this day probably felt better than anything in the last 3 years.

Thanks again /fit.

>>41578251
you drink soda every 1-2 weeks? ew.

should be more like every 1-2 months max

>>41578140
You should try to cut out soda, but I've lost 75lb and still haven't cut it out, I'm like you, I'd rather have a soda with my otherwise healthy dinner than eat junk.

I have cut back on it though, only drink one can a day, used to drink like 4 or 5 lmao

>>41578421
It's not broscience.

Jump-start weight loss with a 20-40% total calorie increase on your cheat day. Just make sure you're eating slow carbs, not fast.

It's only for people who've actually plateau'd though, not people who just started their diets like a month ago. You will gain water weight, so morons think it's fake, but it goes away in like 2 days as long as you immediately swap back to your low carb low cal following the cheat day.

Pick a source, I guess. It's worked for me. It depends on the diet that you're doing - if you're in keto, knocking yourself out of ketosis is difficult to stomach - it's hard to get back in. Sometimes, if you've been hardcore dieting, you can feel sick after putting carbs back in.

The reality is, just try it and see if it works for you. If you've plateau'd, adding an extra 20-40% calories in carbs for One Day is not going to fuck over your weight loss for life. Wait until the water weight drops in two days, and see if it made a difference.

>>41578312

Eastern-european grandmas are the ultimate gains-goblins. Mine gets triggered hard when someone's not willing to eat her food, and even more triggered when i try to cook for yourself (if you're a man).

>>41578565
Yeah, it's for low carb. If you're high protein, you're in lifter mode, and beyond maybe satiating some cravings, it's not gonna do as much for you. Low carb dieters actually try to eat only moderate protein, not high, since eating too much protein on a low carb diet plan makes the liver to convert the amino acids found in protein into sugar

>>41575384
not if you dont burn them off

So I'm free for summer and I've got nothing at all planned. Is it feasible to workout everyday at the Gym?

Do cardio for 30 mins and lift for 30 mins, something like that.

>>41578882
Yesits feasible. You'll be haggered unless you're getting enough calories. I find that if I work out hard, my recoveries are really shit unless I get tons of carbs.

If you're just doing a bro-split it won't be so bad. Quads and Calves are what kill it.

You'll strongly consider amazon priming a wheelchair to your gym

>>41577353
>ham
high fat meat, never gonna make it

>>41575384
Carbs are the least filling and make you hungrier faster, as well as being the first thing the body burns off instead of fat

I'm on a low carb diet. I woke up at 9, ate a ~300 calorie cheese omlette and a 22 calorie tomato. It's 1 now and I'm not even Remotely hungry. Probably won't be for hours. I literally have to remind myself to eat when I'm not hungry to hit 1000 calories every day.

Do we have an infographic on keto yet? What can I eat besides eggs, bacon, and cheese? And don't say coconut oil, that's not food.

>>41578882
Lift first, cardio second.

You'd rather fail cardio than fail lifts. And you will fail some days.

>>41578919
You want high fat on low carb, moron

But I actually use 98% lowfat Primo brand hickory smoked ham simply because it tastes really fucking good

>>41578932
Leafy greens, they're great.
Nuts.

My 'normal' meal is:
Leafy green salad with pesto (bit higher in kcal than just olive oil, but a bit more fat/proteins thanks to small amounts of cheese and nuts) and random piece of meat for >proteins.

>>41578932
This is my problem with keto.

Most sources say keto should be 5/70/25 carbs/fat/protein, but I just have no fucking clue how to consume that much fat while keeping the protein to fat ratio correct.

I eat so much chicken breast and ground turkey that I think the chickens are planning a chicken uprising to come eat me as revenge.

>>41578933
This
Use your energy up on lifts then get out what's left in cardio

>>41578932

Keto is the current normie meme train.

If you're fat as hell, your keto foods should be
>Lean Proteins
>Leafy greens

Just like any other diet.

This idea you sit down and eat bacon, eggs, and cheese with every meal is damaging keto.

70% of your calories need to come from fat isn't even close to true. Your body enters Keto on extreme carb restriction, regardless of other macro nutrients. To actually get glucogenesis from Protein sources you need to eat an absolute fuckload of protein, and only protein.

Why everyone fails at keto is that they don't realize that you should be pulling most of your fat macros from your stored body fat.

This whole MCT and Coconut Oil trend is garbage. Do what you're supposed to do, Lean proteins, and Green Vegetables. Excessive restriction on carbs = keto.

>>41578930
A nice carby oatmeal will fill me up for half a day at only 100 cal(30g oats, 50ml milk, some water). A bunch of vegetables for under 100 cal last me until dinner.
Both carbs and protein can be filling. It depends more on what the food is, not on the macro.

>>41578932
One raw tomato a day for potassium (about 5 carbs vs 27 for a banana in equal potassium amounts)
Roasted Seaweed snacks (don't get the arsenic kind, always check. Buy the Trader Joe's brand in bulk if you can)
Pickles
Spinach
Nuts like almonds, not peanuts

And drink two tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

>>41575082
I had this feeling too, especially when I wanted to do free weights. I always felt free weights weren't for me since I didn't look like those guys and was weak, so I stuck to the weight machines.

Eventually I said, fuck it and went in. Now I lift and feel better. Just say fuck it and do your thing. It'll feel weird at first,but you'll get into it and feel better in the end.

Did another spinning class

This shit is going to kill me

Doesn't help that I have to cycle to get there

>>41578970
Of course. Oatmeal is a top tier carb food for filling, though (personally think it tastes like ass without sugar, whereas no carb meats are tasty). Limiting carbs is good if you're diabetic, pre-diabetic, or it runs in your family (I'm the latter). It's just a really easy way to suppress appetite while keeping insulin low.

>>41579022
Make sure you get enough fibre.

Synthetic fibre for the last one.

>>41579022
Get some pickles. Great sodium boost, and filling even if only 5 calories per spear.

>won't eat a whole tomato raw

coward

>>41579011
I love oatmeal. Tastes ass if you make it with just water, but milk makes it nice and sweet.
Some apple also makes it delicious, but that almost doubles the calories so I normally pass on that.

>>41579022
Sounds good to me.

I usually have a spinach and cheese omelette (not a ton of cheese) in the morning, and then once I get home from work, have a hamburger (no bun obviously) with cheese and salad or something like asparagus or broccoli.

If I ever plateau, I'm just gonna swap the omelette to a green smoothie.

>>41579011
>tfw you un-ironically I like straight up oats and oatmeal

guys I dont really know how much I've to cut, I went from like 290 lbs to 180 lb. I wasn't lifting at all, just did some SS for like month or two but didnt make any progress so I dont count it. People are saying me that I look like "death" now and some fat girl(so not really good opinion) even told me that I look like a pussy now. My height is 187cm(6 ft 1 inch). Can post bodypic and facegains if someone wants to. This lose of weight took me one year.

Can I have Coke Zero on keto
It's my fix for cravings for sweets

>>41579047
Regardless of how you look you are objectively healthier, that's all that really matters. You can lift for aesthetics later

>>41579039
Do you eat lunch? Sounds like you're barely hitting 700 calories

>>41579070
>fix for cravings for sweets

You need to end those cravings, not satisfy them. On or off keto you shouldn't be drinking diet soda

>>41579047
If you're sub200 I think you've "made it", especially if you've lost over 100 lbs.

I would start lifting with a clean bulk.

>>41579070
>get into Ketosis without drinking coke zero/diet coke
>try drinking one
>see if it knocks you out

I wouldn't advise drinking diet soda's because it's easy to have them in excess, and they fuck with your teeth. But do whatever you need to do.

>>41579070
It's fine, but the cravings will never go away if you keep doing it

I wanted Hot Tamales so bad when I first started keto, but I don't anymore

Gotta muscle through the cravings m8

That or at least eat a single strawberry or something so it's at least good for you, coke's gonna strip ya calcium

>>41579075

Anyway, if may fatso self did it, you can do it too.

>>41579186
I can't. I just want to eat all day.

Another keto beginner question: I subtract my fiber for the day from my carbs from the day, right? And then as long as the result is 25 or less, I'm doing it? Rest of macros can be a whatever mix of fat and protein?

I'm almost the same as you, but I have larger shoulders - started doing pullups as soon as I hit 90kg (78 now). You should lift and be under a small caloric deficit (100~150 calories only). Eat more sources of protein to build muscle faster, and keep count of your macros. Try to restrict carbs as much as you can, since you aren't bulking.

>>41579117
>look like death
Those people are retarded, especially that fat bitch. You look fine. Your shoulder to hip ratio isn't amazing, but no big deal, just lift a little. Get a better hair cut too.

People just aren't used to it.

If you've lost 100 lbs even your family members start to say you look gaunt, even if you're just "normal" now.

It's also a tactic used by fatties to shame you into getting fat again.

>>41579205

You're right, and in fact I did eat one. When I got home. One I cooked myself and could track properly, and away from salty and sweet temptations to go with it. But I wasn't about to eat some 77% lean 1/3 pound burger with full fat cheese and wash it down with chippies that were right fuckin there, fuck that.

ree deutsche raus aus meinem fett

Ive got some weird little indentation right below my bra and just above my stomach. It's just a vertical line but wtf is this normal? Am I dying? First noticed it monday.

So I think I have finally found d what works for me. Last year I went from 1,600kcal to 1,200kcal to 1,600kcal again to off my diet. I lost 25lb but couldn't stick on it and stopped the diet. From the beginning of the year I went to 1,800kcal and it feels great. It is just enough for me to have three meals and a snack. I have lost about 30lb this year or 6 lb a month. I really want to lose the weight before I graduate, so now I have two years to lose 80lb.

im not though you dumb fuck XD

Aight. So I am a male that currently weighs 150Ibs at 5'5".

I'm currently down from my original weight of 165Ibs from four weeks ago.

The way I've attempted to tackle cutting is by using Vyvanse and a 16/8 intermittent fasting routine with one bi-weekly 24 hour fast.

However, I know that losing this much weight this quickly means that I'm also burning some muscle along with my fat, and I'm at the risk of yo-yo'ing with one wrong move.

So I've decided to set myself up an eating plan that I wanted to share, and see what u guys think about it.

So after fasting for 16 hours, my breakfast would start off by eating two egg whites along while drinking one scoop of protein powder.

For my lunch, I'd have 1 cup of fat-free yogurt, a piece of whole wheat toast, and a can of tuna for the spread.

For dinner, I'd have 8 oz. of baked chicken cutlets using 1Tbsp of olive oil, 2 cups of steamed broccoli, and 0.2 cups of brown rice.

Then, an hour before bedtime, I'll finish it off with a scoop of protein powder.

So my macros would be:
155g of protein 51%
105g of Carbohydrates 34%
20g of fat 15%
Half of them being monounsaturated fats.

The total calories would come out to 1,223 calories. Which should have me losing around 1-2 pounds per week. It doesn't seem like a lot of calories, but for my height it's what many fat loss calculators call for if I desire to lose 1-2 pounds per week.

My questions are, am I on the right track by sticking to a meal routine like this and just rotating the meats out to give variety, or will I just fall flat on my face quickly?

Secondly, I'm not working out currently but I've heard that your body needs around 1g of protein per pound of body weight. I know that if I stay at a calorie intake around 1200 that I would lose weight, but if I were to maintain a protein intake that's proportionate to my weight now ~150g of protein. Would that mean that I'd retain all of the muscle that I currently have, and would only be losing fat while cutting?

I forgot to add that my snack would be a piece of fruit. (orange, apple, blueberries, etc). Whatever I have on hand at the time.
