Not sure what meats to buy this week. Have been alternating weeks between slow cooking corn beef or a rotisserie chicken. Leaning towards chicken mince today to make some air fryer chicken rissoles.

I haD 18g of psyllium husk about 28 hours ago. It worked super well and filled me up, but now my farts are super rancid and I still haven't shit.
Getting slightly worried
>>76255016worst case scenario you can take a laxative or something
>>76254341kidney beans have 8g of protein per serving. that's 28g of protein per can. beans are good because they have both carbs and protein and they're low calorie and filling with plenty of fiber. not everyone wants to eat tons of animal protein for every meal, it's expensive and women and vegetarians prefer not to eat that much meat usually. also, a can of kidney beans is $1.
protein powder is very expensive, especially compared to chicken and ground turkey- which are both low-calorie, with plenty of protein, and zero sugar. your protein powder is probably great (and not cheap). but when you recommend to a fat person that they should drink chocolate milkshake protein powder instead of eating lean meat, then they are going to run off to walmart and buy the cheapest, shittiest, most chocolately protein powder on the shelf and they are going to binge on it.
it's for people who need extra protein because they work out all the time. it's not a good choice for fat people trying to lose weight. the number one problem with protein powder, is that it doesn't leave you feeling full and that's the most important thing for someone who is new to fitness and overweight.

It's insane how much food you can eat when you priorities lean protein and are careful with your carb and condiment choices.
The difference in volume between the 1500 calories of junkfood I'd have once a day before vs tracking smartly and eating normally is crazy.
Also turns out eating more than 100g protein isn't a meme, I feel so much better.

>>76255199>never knew digimon was so complex. so there are unique evolutions but are there shinies like in pokemon?Not quite, but there are palette swaps in the anime and games. There's also alt versions of digimon. For example Agumon, ToyAgumon, and Agumon X. If you ever want to try the virtual pets out, I recommend buying a Digimon X virtual pet. They're affordable, have a lot of features like leveling up and a quest mode, and really cool rosters.

>>76255236>not really my thing but sure I'll remember that. good for you though, it's good to have hobbies.That's cool. I used to love these as a kid and got really into them again like 5 years ago when I first started getting /fit/. Was a good way to pass the time while walking to lose weight and in between sets at the gym. They've been with me from the whole journey, being morbidly obese to having abs. This is my second time being this lean (first time was march last year), I just came back to this thread after bulking and I'm pretty much done cutting again. Two months before I go back to japan lol.
here's a handy trick: if you want to overeat, try rubbing one out instead. once you've got that post nut clarity, ask yourself if the extra calories are worth it.

>>76255713Just do it properly. Don't use it as an excuse to eat like shit. If you're a weak-willed noob, slowly increase your fast durations. Plan your meals AND activities. Drink coffee and/or tea to blunt hunger if you have a tough time. You get used to it quickly if you're even vaguely consistent. Ignore the losers saying it doesn't work; your (potential lack of) discipline is the only thing that could make it not work, and the reason they say it doesn't work is becaused they lack discipline to not shove food in their faces regularly.

>>76255930Brocolli with salt and pepper on its own is delicious. With a bit of s/oy sauce served with rice its amazing. Roast your broccoli with some garlic snd oil if you really want a treat. Dont use frozen broccoli, only fresh. Too watery and bland for me

>>76255950>Brocolli with salt and pepper on its own is delicious.People like YOU are the reason broccoli is so hated I swear to god. Broccoli on its own is okay, but not great. It's amazing at soaking up flavor though, sear it for a roasting flavor, fry it with some garlic and a sugar starch broth, add oyster sauce, for the love of god give it flavor.
>>76256179Broccoli has a delicious flavor though, why cover it in shit when its already fantastic?
>>76256180Because there majority of people don't enjoy it by itself.
Granted, they might be used to the horrific crimes that are done to most broccoli (boiling it in water until all flavor, color, aroma and nutrition has left it) but I had so many people who tasted my cooking remark how good the broccoli was and that they used to not like it as much. I suspect they are victims of these broccoli rapists that boil it for hours on end.

Happy Friday the 13th, frens. Stay Strong.
>>76256261man i wish i could have walks this long too but i just don't have the time
When you really think about it, if you lose weight just by walking 3 hours a day then you havent really fixed your eating habits and when you approach your goal weight you will still need to walk that much all the time. If you stop walking then you risk gaining the weight again.
Thats why a lot of pro athletes gain weight after retirement. You dont lose those extra 1.5k cals by training hard and its hard to adjust. Happened to me when i stopped practicing basketball everyday.
If you plan on walking for the rest of your life its fine i guess but i dislike walking cause i live in commie blocks and outside looks horrendeous. If i was by some lake, river or forest i would absolutely do it though
>>76256382If you lose diet by changing your diet you will regain weight once you are tired of eating salad all day.
The only two solutions are either suffering from hunger forever or injecting yourself once a week for $500 a month.
>>76256462>suffering from hunger foreverI thought about that too.
That's our life ey, being hungry for the rest of our lives because we are addicted to food.
I envy people who have a healthy relationship to food.
>>76256470They donโt have a healthy relationship with food. They eat like shit when they eat but only once a day when their body tells them it is starving. Rest of the day they have zero appetite for anything. Think Asmongold.
>>76256382If you aren't active you need to eat less. But it's a lot easier to maintain your weight, you don't need to be in a deficit forever.
Say you reach your goal weight and over the next 6 months you gain a couple of kilos. You cut down for a few weeks and you're good. The real issue is when you let go for too long (like me) and you need to lose 20+kg to be normal again, that shit takes months of high effort.
>>76256462im currently at about 500cal deficit, i lose 1kg every 3 weeks or so and in the last 5 months i've been on a diet i haven't been hungry once. not even once
>>76256494As someone with more diet experience than you trust me, you will eventually feel hunger again and itโll grow stronger and stronger.
>>76256484Blueberry Muffin Bread is tasty anon.
I don't feel hungry at all when fasting but shit starts hurting all around and insomnia/bad sleep + being sluggish is hell. I wish it didn't work so well so I'd drop it.
>>76256500That looks yummy in my tummy
>>76256382There is something to that, but realistically to maintain cardio and muscular health you should be budgeting in at least 10 hours a week of working out. Most of this should be walking or LISS cardio, but you should also have a good hour of Zone 3 and Zone 4 cardio, and probably a couple hours of resistance training.
>>76256511>to maintain cardio and muscular health you should be budgeting in at least 10 hours a week of working outhow
do you only work your job and work out and nothing else on weekdays?
>>76256545>do you only work your job and work out and nothing else on weekdays?Just wake up one or two hours earlier

Its been 5 months bro. After about a week my stomach shrinked, even then i wasnt hungry but i had cravings. Since then i have neither. I wasnt some lardass who ate tub of icecream and 5 big macs daily, maybe for someone like that its harder.
It absolutely is possible to lose weight and also not be hungry if your deficit is pretty small
>>762565805 months is nothing. If you lose and maintain past the 3-5 year mark then youโve actually won. Thatโs the time period where most people regain what they lost in observational studies. Fat cells are like cancer cells they demand to be fed,
>>76256580>I wasnt some lardass who ate tub of icecream and 5 big macs daily, maybe for someone like that its harder.As someone who used to eat a 150-200g bag of chips or peanuts, a big Snickers and a liter of non-diet coke in a single evening (and that's AFTER eating three square meals a day with lighter snacks in between), the cravings were almost debilitating at first and still they haven't completely gone away in ~8 months. I've also only lost 10 kilos from peak (7 from actual persistent weight) in these 8 months, but my deficit isn't particularly large.
>>76256601thats why i lose the weight slowly and not starve myself bro. i also eat clean and don't intend to ever stop eating clean
>>76256603this is what im talking about. its a shock to make an 180 like that, no wonder you had cravings. the thing is, before diet i still didn't eat particularily dirty, i basically never ate fast food, sweets and sodas, i ate regular stuff like pasta, meat and potatoes i just ate fuckton of it. more or less i eat the same stuff i just eat less now
>>76256291Good to see you hat anon. God bless.

>>76256670>energydrinkjewnot even once
modern day processed food sloppa is designed to get you to consume as much of it as possible. realistically, and assuming most people won't totally abstaining from consuming them, how are you supposed to manage cravings for these sorts of hyper palatable food items, especially if you were raised by sloppa eating parents who turned you into a little sloppa eating consumer child?
it's a serious question, I'm being serious.
>>76256765I don't have an answer.
I wish the government would just tax sloppa heavily and subsidize fresh produce.
You know that they (you know who I mean) wouldn't allow it.
>>76256700>Im a victim of JewsCringe mindset
>>76256845Post body (you won't)
>>76256222there are studies that say you don't need anything. One fed people non-caloric slop for a pre-workout and there was no difference between the control group and the no calorie group. Other studies confirm there is a difference between eating something and eating nothing. If you are like me and knowing the situation and no access to non-caloric slop I recommend upping your daily intake to feel full at the gym. Best to target things that make you feel full rather than target high satiety.
>>76256580there are a lot of people in this threat who think their experiences are the only ones that can happen. The level of self-reflection in this general is ironically very low and it is best to ignore idiots like this because they just get made and whip out liar/retard thing.
My fav is I have been at this for years. Then you are likely either ineffective or a troll.
>>76256603if you are fine with your progress then keep up the good work. This general is full of "I fucked up guys" who are resetting progress all the time.
>>76256765serious answer. It depends on you. I left my fatty gf. I had the willpower, but I had somebody not being honest with what she was putting in the food.

i never claimed my experience is universal. I have a friend whos an MD and hes on a diet on which he's never hungry too and he lost 10kg in couple of months. Dunno why you felt the need to call me an idiot when i just claimed you dont have to be hungry all the time to lose weight. I didn't lie

>>76256869>post body in the /fat/ thread
I've got to start eating vegetables. Growing up or now, I was never into them because they usually taste dull and are either soggy or crunchy. I'm fine eating very little with very little calories (drinking lots of water helps with that), but I need more protein and a healthier diet, not just full grain bread, soup (and now protein powder) every day. And making several hundred grams of chicken every day seems both expensive as well as a lot of effort to make and clean up.
>>76256545Budget 1 hour each day for walking, and then on two separate days of the week say Wednesday and Saturday add 1 hour for resistance training, and then on two other days say Tuesday and Friday and about a half hour for Higher Intensity Cardio. If you aren't somewhat scheduling your time already you will be surprised at how much time each day you spend doing nothing particularly important.
>>76256961Oh.

Some fatties just choose to cope instead of diet i guess

>>76257139water log yourself with water

Or cottage cheese and tomatoes for satiety
>>76257023forgot to ask, what's a good way to cook make broccoli and other more protein rich vegs? I don't know yet if I'm one of the people who can accept the taste. Could you pickle it perhaps?
>Got the shits
Oh yeah, scale is gonna go down big.
eating fucking sucks, I wish I didn't have to do it. I wish I could just choose to exist on photosynthesis or some shit.
>>76257139Plenty of water for volume, Soup if you need it to be flavored. Make sure the dish within your kcals that you make is both flavorful and enjoyable to eat to limit cravings. If satiety is the issue, physillium husk powder will make you giga satiated.
Unironically making the food and diet enjoyable is a far too overlooked aspect. I'm eating like a king, just not in terms of amount.
My main dishes are all strongly spiced for that flavor hit, for a treat today I drank some homemade iced tea (sometimes homemade mate soda) and as dessert as a treat I've made some ice cream in my ninja creamy.
Handling cravings is a mind game for sure, but if your meals aren't enjoyable you're stacking the deck against you for no reason.
>>76257201Isn't that unironically the reason behind onions existing? IIrc it was some tech bro who said he hated eating and just wanted the easiest way to ingest the required nutrients quickly. Not that onions is good at that, but I think that was the idea.

I also spiced the shit out of my food and made sure it was full of fiber to make it intense tasting and filling. This was literally the easiest diet Ive ever had to do. Granted its also the least Ive had to lose, but you learn a lot from past diet successes and failures. Hell this time I regained weight on purpose knowing it would fuel my lifting and that I could lose it.
>>76257276Glad to hear anon. I get that many people can't cook well, but I find it hard to understand how they are surprised they can't keep the diet up when all they eat is condensed misery.

>>76257301I cant cook well to be honest, but I just spammed the same good dish for like 2 months and kept that as the basis for my meals. Then added healthier fast food and frozen options around it.
Alright boys diary time.
I'm 5 9 and on may 16th I was 187.3 lbs. My tdee at sedentary is ~2100 calories. I have been eating 1350-1500 calories a day.
Today I weighed in at 175 lbs. Thats like 12.3 lbs in 28 days. I thought I was eating at ~700 calorie deficiet but maybe it's alot more. I have been working out and doing couch to 5k. I was a little worried I'm losing wieght to fast but today a coworker asked if I lost wieght so I am full speed ahead.
WAGMI Bros
>>76257253Let's go Anon! WAGMI
>>76257399>1350-1500 calories a dayI have a similar diet, 1500 calories a day aiming for about 9 lbs per month.
I limit it because I don't wanna end up with loose skin. 12 lbs in 28 days seems like a lot.
>>76257543Agreed it seems really steep. That's like eating at a 1500 calories deficit a day which is more than twice ehat om trying to do. Could there still be water wieght I am losing?
I'm not terribly worried about loose skin but it's something to keep in mind. Thanks anon
>>76257399Let's say ~5 lbs of that was water loss (I pulled that number out of my ass) which you lost at the start of the diet. The remaining 7 lbs in 28 days would be a deficit of 900 calories which checks out if you take the workouts into account
>>76257588Could be
I lose a bit more than 9 lbs per month at 1500 calories a day being 6'1 so for someone 5'9 it could be a bit less like 7.
But the exact calculation doesn't matter because you say that you just started therefor you would lose water weight, around 5 lbs sounds right so you're not losing too fast then. You'll be able to calculate exactly how much of a calorie deficit you're at at the end of about 37 days, checking only the last month of it to not factor in any water weight lost.
Keep it up.
>>76257336As long as you enjoy it anon that's all that matters.

>>76257168>protein rich vegsthat's an oxymoron
The manner in which some of you speak of your deficits is really strange. It comes off as you are trying to lose weight while keeping a sedentary lifestyle.

Today's dinner:
Zucchini noodles with spicy tomato sauce and some cheese on top.
Very filling, 446 kcals 30g carbs, 20g fat, 38g protein
Would be 94 kcals less if it weren't for the cheese.
Would recommend.

hi guys, shitanon here.
after on and off struggling, i believe i jump started my gut again.
i visited a doctor [spoiler]a pharmacist. why doesn't /fit/ has spoilers?[/spoiler] like anons advised me and told him i HATE walking in the strongest terms.
he told me to do the abs bicycle exercise and it worked wonders.
i've been off laxatives and coffee for a over a month now with somewhat good bowel movement.
i'll try to do more of the exercise but i'm too fucking lazy. i only do it for 1 minute per day.
i'll try to do it for 2 minutes and report back.

How do you guys manage to stay in a calorie deficit while dealing with stress? I had a really shitty day and all I can think about is binge eating until I pass out just to cope with the anxiety.

about 130 kcals, 10g fat, 4.5g carbs, 4g protein.
Very enjoyable. Adding the stabilizing gums made all the difference, this way it hit that spot of a proper ice cream
>>76257877>fantasy hike appWhat?
>>76257948>How do you guys manage to stay in a calorie deficit while dealing with stress?Firstly, do stuff that helps you relax. Do something good for yourself. Go for a walk, do something you enjoy (not eating), take a bath, whatever you can do to "reward" yourself.
Secondly, if you have to eat, make sure it's enjoyable, this is doable even with low kcals.
Lastly, consider looking up awareness exercises. Avoid self-help gurus and try to find resources that are more medical in nature (therapy related). This should both help with stress management and put you more into control over your instincts.
>>76257989Just google it anon, apparently it's an app for ios and android.
Any good, simple step/distance tracking apps? I'm wondering how much I walk over my average day.
>>76258003honestly samsung health isn't bad
Spent basically all of last week where my evacuations were little tiny turds but I could feel there being a ton of shit in my body. It just wouldn't come out.
I'd feel bowel movements in my intestines while sitting at my chair or walking outside, but as soon as I sat on the toilet, but asshole was tighter than a rubberband on a watermelon. Tried walking more, stretching, even used laxatives but nothing would make my asshole open up.
Only starting to feel better today and actually got to shit out a full sized log

I am not even fucking winded or anything, but everytime I make even the slightest movements when it's more than sub zero degrees outside I start sweating so much that you would have thought it was raining outside when you see me.

>>76257876Try butternut squash with spaghetti sauce. You'll be blown away.
>>76258260How over weight are you? When I was a hundred and ten pounds heavier than I am now, I would sweat constantly and it did stop when I lost a lot of weight.
>>76258293>Try butternut squash with spaghetti sauce. You'll be blown away.I will when they are in season. Not something that's at the store year round here.
That being said I like zucchini because it's even less calories and you don't have to cook it before, just toss it in a pan for a bit. With my mandolin and the 3mm julienne attachment it's a matter of 5 minutes to make the noodles, the rest is just the sauce. Pretty convenient, especially because my time management is ass and I usually start cooking when I'm already very hungry.
>>7625829350 kilos according to the bmi thingy.
>>76258260Two things that help:
- Lose weight, that's the biggest factor
- Do more cardio. You don't have to do a shitton, but get your heart pumping once a day. It'll help with the sweating I promise.
>>76258325I already atleast 30 minutes of cardio each time I go to the gym.
Though biking to the grocery store is like 10-15 minutes at best.
10 minutes of fast incline walking and 20 minutes on a cross trainer.
No idea if my threadmill goes 5.8 miles an hour or 5.8km an hour.
I am guessing miles, but that might be wishful thinking.
I also bike to the gym and it takes like 10 to 15 min to get there.
And now also the 25 min walk to and from work(50 min) total though I do work part time so it's not every day.
There is nothing left, but to just lose weight I guess.
>>76258383Doesn't matter how hard or easy your cardio is for the sweating, that's not a function of muscles, what matters is the heartrate you get to. Sounds like you already do plenty and get your heart pumping for warmup, so yeah, losing the weight will be what saves you, not the cardio.
>>76255417MJchad here!
>>76255609He will make it because medication makes losing weight soo easy. Fuck lifestylecels.
>>76257985I love mixing protein powder with it
Bought chia seeds for fiber in my quark.
Do I need to put them in water first or can I just dump thems straight into my quark
>>76258488I should try that - but I don't like most protein powder flavors, they usually taste mega fake. I'll have to get some neutral/unflavored I guess.
>>76258498They swell quite a lot, 30g of chia seeds in 250ml of liquid gives you chia pudding in terms of consistency.
Depends on what you're going for. You can just add them and eat them quick and have a little crunch in your quark, or you can pre-soak them, get a more pudding consistency and have them be easier to digest.
Just don't add them to quark, then let it sit without adding liquid, or it'll be a weird inbetween.
>>76258529I do like my to have a bit of a crunch, but I heard the seeds can fuck you up if you eat them dry and aren't careful.
>>76258576It's like eating Physikum husk (powder), they will absorb moisture and swell. This can make you feel bloated and overly full and it might be an issue of you aren't hydrated well. But a reasonable amount for a reasonably hydrated man probably won't do much. Soaked they just get a bit slimy which isn't everyone's taste. I used to rawdog a teaspoon of physilium husk powder daily and chase it with a glass or two of water and I loved to tell the tale - you'll be fine.
With Quark alone, especially Magerquark you'll want to chase it with some liquid to be safe.
>>76257814Not me anon, I walked 10 miles today. WAGMI.
Im currently eating two taco supremes and two nacho boxes. Still under 1500 calories for the day. At 1399 to be exact, this includes a protein shake.
>>76258182>step on scale this morning>see my weight>take a long piss>take a healthy shit>step back onto scale>weight is the sameTHIS IS NOT POSSIBLE
>>76257948i let myself eat more on days like that but i'm careful not to binge. i go at my TDEE or a little over. i also indulge in things i usually avoid, but not too much. i also try to mitigate the damage by eating something that i know is going to fill me up without a lot of calories, like shredded wheat, cottage cheese, or potatoes or something and then get the ice cream after.
I ate 1860 calories today. If I'm not totally wiped out tomorrow I'll probably just do a few miles and only eat eggs, cottage cheese and half a potato.
>>76258759shredded wheat? like the cereal?
>>76256470>>76256462>suffering from hunger forevera caloric deficit is a temporary state intended to get to a goal weight, at that point you eat at maintenance and don't feel hungry most of the time. if you do just a tiny bit of exercise you can eat even more without gaining fat.
you guys give up mentally before you ever even get started.

>>76258084that's cool. they should do one that does the distance the nazis marched when they went into russia, froze to death, and got their asses handed to them and another one starts where the british landed in portugal and how far they marched across europe to push napoleon's shit in. that would be cool.
>>76258770yeah, it's actually got quite a few calories but it's very filling. if you use almond milk or skim milk it will have a lot fewer calories though. i don't eat more than two servings usually and that's 400 calories by itself but it makes me feel full for a long time. there are other foods that are better but i just can't think of them right now. the idea is to eat something like a big plate of veggies before you start your planned binge. that way it's not so bad. you will eat just one bowl of ice cream instead of three.
Question bros, I'm not gonna have access to cooking on the stove or oven for a few weeks cause of kitchen renovations
What's some healthy food I can substitute in the meantime? I have a microwave at least. Should I grab some protein snacks or something?

>nuh uh that's just an exaggerated meme people really need to stop--really? do you really believe that?
>>76258802Cured meats, jerky, peanut butter and nuts/legumes, cheeses, kefir, Greek yoghurt, avocados, sourdough bread, and so on. You can also find a lot of freezer meals and premade wraps, etc at a lot of chain grocers.
>Don't wanna go out and grab fast food and shit as an excuse.Understandable, but you can also consider this an opportunity to train your "not a fat fuck, don't do fat faggot-ass binging bullshit"-muscles. In fact, I dare you to go to a grocer you know has fresh premade stuff with all the calories and macros listed, buy it, and walk home and eat it. You can live your life and not be fat too.
>>76258870Yes it was worth it, and no, taco bell never gave me bubble guts. It wouldn't be worth it if it sent me over my cap if 1500, however.
>>76258870the only time taco bell hurts me is if i eat 5+ volcano tacos

I usually put some chicken breast in my food processor and fry it for dinner, lately I've been adding frozen broccoli to it and it gives it more volume, I recommend.
>>76258964Congratulations man, that's a huge milestone, probably the biggest one before your goal weight.
>>76258750Most digital scales have a memory and won't change the number it displays unless the weight fluctuates past some internal threshold, usually like +/- 5 lbs.
You can usually bypass this memory by weighing yourself, then weigh yourself holding a 10+ lb weight, then putting the weight down again and weighing yourself once again.
They do this because the sensors on digital scales aren't accurate and will otherwise spit out different numbers all the time.

Still long way to go tho
I dun goof'd during bulking season
I mentioned around a week ago doing a high carb, high protein, and low fat day for shits and giggles. I ate slightly above maintenance for that one day and ate my normal high protein meals with a bag of candy and a small amount of oreos. Previously, my weight was going down pretty slowly, about 1.2lb a week for the past month or so. After that high day I went back to my normal calorie deficit cardio, lifting, and clean eating, but proceeded to lose about 4.2lb over the next 9 days. Went from 170 to 165.8. It wasn't even a sharp drop over a day or two, it was like .6lb a day everyday. Weird as fuck, but may be worth trying once if you're knee deep into a diet. I did this about 8-9 weeks into dieting. Weird, but not unheard of. I did it after hearing about the sugar diet and it reminding me of a bodybuilding technique called skiploading. To be clear I didn't do the sugar diet, I just did a single high carb and high protein day with low fats.
>>76259024Circled when I did the high day. May experiment with doing this every 2 weeks, specifically keeping fats low that day. I typically do a cheat meal every 3-4 weeks.
>>76258761I doubt I'll be able to catch up to you before midnight, but you've inspired me to go for another walk today. Will report back when I get home.
>>76258918literally the cause of my brief plateau from may 16th to may 20th. took me four days to eat them all. eat one and feed the rest to your friends or coworkers. you don't have to go down the same path that i did.
>>76259024fucking black magic
Realistically, how close to life are those online body visualizers where you set your height/weight and measurements? I'm making good progress, take weekly progress pics and all, but I think I might look weirdly stocky at my target weight and bodyfat percentage. At least based in the calcs. Then I see myself IRL and can't imagine it.
>>76259053The idea is supposedly that you're depleted in glycogen from dieting, so in the absence of eating fat the calories in the carbs get stored as glycogen instead of fat while helping to keep metabolism high. Total bro science and is probably bullshit, but it's a common bodybuilding tactic. Here's an article by the guy it's named after, but it's loaded with pictures of junk food. If that's gonna fuck with you, I recommend skipping it lol.

>>76254844 (OP)Planned weekend binge
I probably won't be able to eat half desu
>>76259088Damn dude what are you eating
>>76259088I'm curious how you could even consecutively plan to actually hit nearly 10,000 kcals of food in a day. That's like 3 whole bags of oreos, or 4 extra large pizzas. Even at my biggest that would have been a challenge.
>>76259086i noticed my weight loss was more consistent after i took a week off at maintenance and focused on having plenty of carbs during that time. i still kept fats in check though and had an average amount of protein.
>helping to keep metabolism highi think that's the key to all this stuff. when you diet too long, your body adjusts. you've got to trick it into thinking you're going to stop.

Honestly I doubt I'll be able to eat even half, but on Monday I'm going back to nornal
>>76259088>a casual 1.3 lbs of sugarAnon...
>>76259102I'm actually taking a week off myself. Maybe two. I've still got 8 weeks until my vacation and I have 5 pounds to lose max. Hell I'm fine now to be honest. Can't wait to hit the beach and the pool once the weather clears up. I've been a bit leaner before, but I added a ton of muscle over the past year. Probably around 8-10 pounds.
>i think that's the key to all this stuff. when you diet too long, your body adjusts. you've got to trick it into thinking you're going to stop.Could be that. Could just be water manipulation from the carbs and sugar. No idea to be honest, but it was nice having some candy and not having a melty over it or binging for days. Instead I got to see the scale move down.
>>76259088this has got to be a troll. please don't do this. just eat at maintenance or slightly above this weekend if you feel like you need to.
broke my 5 day fast with a couple of bean and cheese burritos. they had jalapenos in 'em, and spent all day spewing hot lava from my asshole. incidentally, if you ever have to deal with this problem, just get an ice cube and rub it on your ass. really helps. if you're really brave, shove it in there. instant relief.
>>76259086>Link? Not sure what you mean.Sites like this one: https://body-visualizer.com/
>>76259175a homo here on /fit/ specifically warned me not to do that. can't remember his reasoning why not though.
>>76259175>Friends, if you decide to be retarded and not slowly break a prolonged fast with small portions of broth and light foods, instead picking jalapeรฑo bean and cheese burritos, just plug ice cubes up your asshole, trust

>>76259188why yes I am retarded.
>>76259180huh interesting
>>76259199that wasn't it. it was something about how spheres of ice don't melt when you shove them in there or something. frostbite maybe? it just doesn't seem like a good idea to shove ice cubes up your ass no matter how smooth they are.
>>76259155>>76259166Not a troll, I already lost 57 pounds from strict fasting, I'm gonna have this weekend and then back to strict fasting for 2-3 months
>>76259259>strict fasting,>binging foodngmi, why? You haven't developed any sort of better habits with food, you just fast then gourge? You will yo yo hard. As one post said, losing weight is half the battle, you then need to keep it off for the rest of your life, and you will NOT be able to maintain fasting and then gorging for the rest of your life. There are a lot of people who start fat, get into great shape, get fat again, then great shape again multiple times, and the reason they yo yo is they never developed a better relationship with food. Sorry, anon, but your "diet" is not something someone can maintain for the duration of their life.
>>76259259The other anon is right. Losing the weight is comparatively the easy part. Most people can lose the excess weight, keeping that weight off is the hard part. A majority will have regained all the weight they lost in just one year, its even more grim by 5 years the vast majority will have gained it all back and added even more.
The people who succeed at keeping the weight off do so by fundamentally changing their relationship with food and building sustainable habits which they never quit. If you do any sort of dieting that's temporary you're setting yourself up for failure. You want your diet to be something you can live with the rest of your life.

If you do any sort of dieting that's temporary you're setting yourself up for failure. You want your diet to be something you can live with the rest of your life.not exactly true. even people who lose weight slowly and "fix" their relationship still get fat. you have to fix your metabolism by reverse dieting up to a higher caloric maintenance and avoid pufa/linoleic acid.
also there are meme diets that actually work like durian rider protocols where you eat unlimited carbs but keep protein kinda low, and fat < 30grams. or you can do true high fat (75-80% cals from fat) keto.

>>76259033>>76258761By the time I got out there it was already the next day and now my back killing me despite only doing my typical 10k steps. I give up, you win. Going to rest and only do 10k step daily until my back feels better again.
I've got it guys. I've got the secret. Shit's gonna be so cash.

>>76259088>Planned weekend bingeJust don't
>>76259550Ya did good, anon. Keep it up.
How do you make your overnight protein oats taste good? I have chocolate protein powder.
>>76259731Yeah protein powder and honey basically. Maybe cacao and milk if you want even more real chocolate flavor keep in mind cacao is calorically dense.
>>76259738I did low sugar almond milk, rolled oats, greek yogurt, chia seeds, little bit of honey, and chololate protein. This without the protein powder tastes great especially if I add fruit. With protein powder it tasted way worse.
>>76259722>>76259088>Schedule the binge>Set aside calories all month in preparation for the binge>Prepare all the food for the binge>Day of the binge: don't actually eat any of it>Throw all the slop away>Eat broccoli and chicken instead

>>76255930broccoli only tastes bad if you overcook it
and instead of beef you can do beef broc with pork sirloin or even chicken breast. just slice them finely
>>76259474You need to go to the gym stat and LIFT like your life depends on it (because it does).
