What is your "losing weight" diet, /ck/?

One meal a day with the occasional 24-48h fast.
Personally I have an easier time skipping meals than eating small portions and/or very low calorie foods tbqh. Also it made me appreciate food and cooking again

>>21549338 (OP)
1200ish calories/d, maximize protein content, limit non-fiber carbs and fat.

>>21549338 (OP)
video games and gooning so I forget to eat

>>21549353
Yeah, it really is as simple as this. High protein, high fibre. Fill the rest with fat and some carbs.

>>21549338 (OP)
Every time I drop refined sugar, every time I stop drinking the carbonated Jew and eating sweets, and change nothing else about my diet, I lose fifty pounds over the course of a few months. Then I inevitably succumb to the cravings for Mountain Jew and cookies, and I gain the weight back.

Dinner as only meal
Its my default
Currently bulking so i eat breakfast as well

I've been eating one meal a day for 20 years and I'm still fat.

>>21549338 (OP)
chicken brokkoli rice

>>21549338 (OP)
Low carb, no sugar.
High fat.

It really does work with no downsides.

Mostly bland stuff, just enough flavor not to hate.

Meat

>>21550212
Meat makes you fat

I switched to diet coke. I'm such a health nut

>>21549353
this, but i don't count total calories. i just minimise fat and carbs, and if i feel like having a bigger meal, i do so without feeling bad.

>>21549338 (OP)
>breakfast
2 slices of toast, minimal butter, thin spread of jam or peanut butter or a small can of tuna
>lunch
chicken breast, 2 boiled eggs, salad
>dinner
chicken breast, piece of cheese, salad
note: chicken breast can be replaced by some other meat (eg two chicken thighs, or some

Wait, people still bother with the "weight loss" meme? I gave up on it entirely after years of trying when my last "diet" caused me to gain 315 pounds more above my pre-diet weight of 336 pounds.

>>21549338 (OP)
thats a great looking salad

>>21549338 (OP)
I lost like crazy doing 2 meals a week
But I was younger I can't handle fasting like that anymore

based 651 pound Chad

i literally eat whatever i want because i'm not a faggot lol

i burn it all through being >>>/fit/. imagine subjecting yourself to a restricted diet just because you're a lazy slob. i cook my own food as well because nothing you get for takeout will ever cater to your specific tastes as much as being able to hone in flavors yourself. Get good, cu/ck/s

>>21552336
wow so cool and badass

>>21552265
you should have tried not being retarded

>>21552336
ok retard, I hope you know people are aware most people on /fit/ are larpers right?

>>21549338 (OP)
same food i normally eat, just less of it

>>21549338 (OP)
Tracking calories, keeping it to 1500 and trying to hit at least 50-75g of protein, but 100g if I can. Just setting those as the goals winds up forcing you into something kind of like low carb and also making smart choices. I can still eat garbage now and then. I'll still hit up McD's at work if that yogurt just doesn't look like it's gonna hit the spot. But I'll just get a $5 meal deal or just a Quarter Pounder or 10pc nugget but no fries and then make sure my dinner is something healthy. Healthy meals wind up being stuff like yogurt, a small bowl of frosted mini wheats, oatmeal with a drizzle of maple and some crushed pecans, omelet without going overboard on ham/bacon, chicken breast or a slightly leaner steak like sirloin or strip (trimming off the fat cap after cooking) and some veggies, beans and rice, homemade chicken stock (usually adding mirepoix, and maybe chicken meat if I have it around). If I wind up fucking up my earlier meals or just don't feel like cooking dinner and need to up the protein, I'll usually just do something like a Fairlife 42g or a Barebell protein bar as a light dinner. I also luck out in the fact that I'm not hungry until after I've been awake for at least 2-3 hours, so I go to work and the first 2-4 hours are so hectic that I don't have time to think about food so I usually don't eat until lunch anyway.

>>21549471
It's a little disingenuous to call eating nonstop from when you wake up until you go to sleep a single meal.

>>21552265
I can at least somewhat sympathize with people that have a BMI upwards of like 35. So much modern food is jacked up with high calorie shit that sends your brain's reward centers into overdrive. But beyond that, it's just gross negligence.

>>21549471
>I've been eating one meal a day for 20 years and I'm still fat

>>21549338 (OP)
i dont eat more than 1200 calories, completely cut out sweets and only drink the zero version of sodas. i lost 10kgs in 2 months that way.

he said he was from /fit/, too. re-read his post and then re-read your post again

>>21549338 (OP)
eating less and drinking a lot of water

>>21549338 (OP)
Honestly? Keto. Every few months I do a few months of keto. I have food addiction tendencies, and it's the only thing that seems to help keep me from ending up on a TLC show. The moment my blood sugar spikes and I get that small bit of dopamine I end up binging like hog.
I hate how the human body is a puppet to it's hormones.
>>21549353
This is also good. Although I'd recommend 1500 instead of 1200.

>>21553112
>Although I'd recommend 1500 instead of 1200.
Recently heard that the body can adjust and get used to a deficit over time, so to continue cutting body fat, and avoid hitting a plateau in progress, you have to cut the deficit down even more. If that's the case, then going to 1500 for a while, then adjusting to 1200 might be more optimal, but idk honestly. This might also be for people going for very low body fat %, like under 15%.

>>21553244
In the past I did TDEE-300, then substracted 50 every 2 weeks until I reached TDEE-800. It worked well enough without ever getting those annoying food cravings and without a plateau.

>>21553287
Good thought. I need to figure out my TDEE ballpark and try that out.

>>21553112
Any tips and tricks of keto? I heard that most people don't get enough quality healthy fat in the diet, seems hard to achieve without eating a shit load of saturated fats or high-calorie nuts

>>21553366
Massively increasing your seafood intake but most people don't have the budget for $50-100 a week in salmon.

>>21553366
>>21553383
this, but you can get tuna. don't worry about the mercury, that's a myth lol

>>21549338 (OP)
steak with the fat
mashed potaoes
grill apsaragus
tacos and enchiladas
burritos
ham
chicken (cooked any way)
chili (no beans of course)
lots of eggs
sausage and gravy
eat out for dinner 4 times a week.

In 2 years I lost 100 lbs.

>>21549471
I fucking hate this. What am I even cutting down on food for

>>21549471
>>21553663
try not drinking 4L of soda or beer everyday

>>21549338 (OP)
Only eating dinner. I’ve been doing it since the end of May and have lost 22lbs so far.

>>21549338 (OP)
eating less

>>21553667
I don't, the shit I drink is always less >20Kcal/100ml

>>21553684
Well as usual, use some app to count calories and see what's fucking you up. Be honest about it too, log every single little thing for a week to have a proper idea.
1 meal a day means nothing by itself, eating 5k calories at once isn't any better
Some sort of physical activity helps too, even just bodyweight squats while watching whatever anime or stream you like is better than nothing.

>>21553454
It's not a myth. Predators are always a worse choice.
Eat mackeral instead, also cheap and almost as healthy as salmon.

>>21553739
Fair. However, you would have to eat a fuckton of tuna daily to approach dangerous levels of mercury poisoning. t. fish doctor

>>21549338 (OP)
Absolutely anything at any time in any quantity as long as it at a calorie deficit. You fat retards make the most simplest 3rd grade math into the hardest most complicated self defeating humiliation ritual.

>>21552265
It's not a meme. It's totally achievable. But you have to suffer a little. You have to deny yourself some things you like.

>>21553366
Just eat a lot of saturated fats. They're fine. Load up on butter and eat the skin on the chicken. You'll drop weight. It's the best diet. The pizzas you can eat are delicious. And you can still have a piece of bread or a tortilla now and then. Just don't be making bagel sandwiches regularly. Limit your carbs to 30mg or less and watch the weight fall off while you are never hungry outside of meals.

I wish I knew about this 20 years ago.

>>21549338 (OP)
I do a semi-strict vegan/vegetarian diet (i eat shrimp, calamari, salmon and other fish, as well as butter and sometimes cheese)for 60 days, cut out all alcohol and some sugars. I end up losing 5-7lbs per week, with some weeks reaching double digits.

>>21552265
Body positivity faggot kys

>>21553244
Just zig zag. 1200 cla one day, 1800 the next, 1500 avg but never consistently

Huge cup of coffee(water and no calorie sweetener only) when I wake up keeps hunger at bay, only have one meal a day(late afternoon) but make it big and very filling(around 1000-1200 calories)

The greatest trick is to only go grocery shopping once a month, you just have to make do with what you got in the meantime and whenever you crave shit you don't have the ability to immediately indulge. And buying a few impulse items once a month is better than buying a few impulse items every [insert how often you go shopping]. Also makes a massive change in your spending.
Obviously don't eat out/order ever unless it's an important social event, having to put in the work to cook before eating also creates another barrier in preventing impulse indulgences.

The pandemic fucked up my weight badly but I've lost 27kg this way in less than a year.

>>21549338 (OP)
8-12 watery American light beers and a single pack of Shin Ramyun minus the sodium bomb flavor packet. For flavor I add hot sauce and a little soy sauce. Maybe a handful of mixed nuts and a small salad too if I'm feeling peckish. Oh, and half a pack of Camels and a few marijuana cigarettes over the day and night. Also a multivitamin. That's my depression diet and I lose ten pounds in week and half and look like an 80s AIDS man and then have to gorge on pasta and burritos to gain the weight back so I don't look I'm dying. Rinse. Repeat. Fuck mental illness, toobs.

>>21549338 (OP)
The "no food in the house" diet. I was at my thinnest when I was basically only eating burgers, pizza, chocolate milk, donuts, grilled cheese, ice cream, etc. simply because I had no food in my dorm and had to go out to get it.
I'm lazier than I am fat.

Cut the carbs

>>21554029
ty anon

>>21549350
Doesn't this just make your body try even harder to stockpile fat?

keto

6 eggs a day and low carb

>>21554057
You should be using the flavor packet for the sodium if you're consuming that much fluid. You lose sodium every time you pee.

>>21554628
Can you explain how that works? Without buzzwords? As in the actual mechanics?

>>21554991
Your body goes into starvation mode/mentality. When you a start eating normally again your body still believes in is there or can be there again and continues working as if there, ie keeping fat stores to use during starvation times. You are doing the absolute worst long term way to keep weight off as your body now is building fat layers and holding them longer as it is anticipating you doing that.

>>21549338 (OP)
Eat less move more.

>>21555005
>when you don't know anything but think you do

You're so fucking ignorant and behind the times I bet you still follow the food pyramid lmfao

>>21554628
Yes, but fastfags hate it when you point this out to them.

>>21549338 (OP)
Air fried chicken nuggets/tendies. Tendies are homemade
Chickpeas with boiled eggs
Breakfast burritos with diced potatoes, easy mexican cheese blend, scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. I buy ground turkey and add spices
Cottage cheese with a teaspoon of honey

>>21549338 (OP)
You just need to eat less calories, it doesn't matter how you do it. But what you eat to lose weight has to be something you enjoy so you keep doing it. That's what really matters.
Homemade sourdough bread is really satiating even though it is le evil bread. Especially if it has milk and eggs in the dough. I've lost weight eating that with fried eggs instead of a normal larger meal.
I've also lost weight eating nothing but pork ribs, mustard, and broccoli. This was my least favorite way to do it.
The easiest thing to do is stop drinking alcohol and soda, stop eating out, etc. If you don't eat empty calories or junk food, your body gets the nutrients it needs and this helps curb the hunger cravings when you eat at a deficit.
I also like to skip breakfast and only eat twice a day. I've found that 16 hour mini fasting helps curb my hunger and also makes it so I can not eat for longer, which helps me not get hangry when I can't eat on time for whatever reason.
Don't forget to excorcize ;)

>>21554628
Maybe but I still lost 40 pounds that way and I could still eat the food I wanted

>>21553739
Mackerel is a predator. There are far better, far cheaper fish varieties. My local fishmonger often sells a "fish of the week" for 5-8 euro/2kg (5 pounds-ish). Usually it's a white fish perfect for soup or stuffing, like gurnard or whiting.

>>21549338 (OP)
Follow the food pyramid. On one condition: only eat stuff you made yourself. Want a pizza, ketchup, mayo, soda, bread, mustard, sausage? Make it from scratch. No 2 wheat flours, sugars or tomato concentrates are the same. You got to know this stuff.

None of these diets last. Wether it's keto, vegetarian, Montignac, whatever. You have to change your way of life, your perspective. Only buy from people you can talk to. It's their job to tell you why something they sell is best for you. Don't grab shit from an aisle in whatever supermarket.

Get your shopping done on foot or with a bicycle. If you can't do that go hiking, jogging, cycling or swimming in the weekends/whenever you can. It's all about endurance sports, fitness is useless and demotivating. Spend your yearly holidays in the Rocky Mountains or the Dolomites. Get good shoes (look for vibram soles), 2 good jackets (one light, one heavy) and backpack to keep your food dry. There's NOTHING that'll make you lose more weight than a solid walk in the mountains. Plus we don't laugh at you here. We're not kids at the swimming pool. We're in the mountains, we look out for each other. There are plenty alternatives to proper mountains as well: Eifel and Black Forest in Germany. Ardennes in Belgium and France. Scotland is magnificent. I'm sure there's similar regions in the US and Canada.

Good luck.

I just restrict myself to 1200 calories/day and all of those calories are soups and stews so my stomach feels fuller. I lose several pounds a week doing that.

>>21549338 (OP)
I just stop drinking alcohol, as soon as I do that the weight comes off fast even if I change nothing else in my diet. Of course that is easier said than done, certainly can't manage it while I'm working or stressed about other things.
