Opinions on intermittent fasting or the 5 -2 diet?

Do you weigh your food? You should. Something isn't accurate. Another thing to try is adding exercise even just walking. Fitbit or another step counter. Try to just meet a step goal every day to add to your deficit. Just don't eat them back. At least not more than half.

there is no way you're eating 1200 calories and not losing weight. you're either lying or you're not counting accurately enough. you're not defying the laws of thermodynamics, so you're either doing something wrong, or you're just not doing it.

All you have to do is cardio stupid

Everything you know about fitness and dieting is a lie. Wonder why you can't have the body of your dreams? It's because everything you've ever learned about fitness is 100% bullshit. You want to know how to really get jacked. ripped and shredded? It's like IF but on a weekly basis
Instead of eating 2000 calories once a day, you eat 14000 calories once a week (if you're not of the mindset to do it right out of the gate 7000 calories 2x a week will suffice unitl you're ready). He is the kicker though, you need to be able to eat that 14000 calories in one sitting. You think your body cares when it get calories? no, it just cares that you get them.

>fast two days
>14000 calorie meal
>sleep 10 hours after the meal
>wake up energized and go through your week fasting (water&black coffee only, no booze!)

Benefits;
>You get a ton of time back, you only shit one day out of the week, and don't have to spend time cooking and eating food
>all the food is metabolized into fat burning energy
>all the fat burning helps shred your muscles
>super focus

the 6th and 7th day of the week you'll feel hungry its okay, that's your body going into overdrive mode.

I don't have scales, no. I uses cups and measures. Maybe it's the liquid to grams measurements I am getting wrong

>>42190016
What do you mean by that??

>My weight has not budged in almost 6 months to a year.

There are three possibilities:

1. You are eating approximately 500 calories a day more than you think you are. Some measurement is off, or there's something you're not accounting for. (Common mistake, for example, would be to fry something in butter and not count the butter.)

2. You are burning 500 calories a day less than you think you are. Those online calculators are notoriously inaccurate and tend to overestimate.

3. Your body has learned to violate the laws of physics and is creating its own energy, independent of the food you're eating.

Now, it COULD be #3, but most likely it's some combination of #1 and #2.

Also, I'm totally going to masturbate to this picture.

Post tits and hips or fuck off

>>42189809
Holy shit you're retarded, what you're doing wrong is pretty obvious but I won't tell you unless you post nude body pics.

>>42190071
Get a food scale then, obviously this is not working out for you

>>42189809
Neither.

Stop eating like a fat fuck. I replaced fries with veg and salad. Replaced bags of crisps and chocolate with healthier snacks.

I still eat crap almost every day, the only difference is I don't eat crap all day.

230lb down to 180lb

Get some will power you fat fucks

>>42190104
okay, looks like i have to be more diligent with measuring

also, you fucks, I asked about IF and the 5-2 diet

Only if you post more of her.

>>42190429
Post body and we'll answer

Yes they are good both for weight loss, appetite control and health in general.
What else?
Cutting all the refined carbs you can will also help both with less hunger and less insulin.

you shouldn't have written that retarded novel if you just wanted opinions on IF you dumb bitch. don't act like we're stupid just because you couldn't get to the point of what your actual fucking question is. jesus christ
