I lost the battle and ordered a 12in neapolitan pizza (only ate half). I ate it after meeting my calorie budget for the day.

do you do cardio?
I've noticed that doing cardio curbs my appetite for some odd reason (one would think it would be the other way around)

before I could eat 2000 per day and still crave more
now I have to force myself on some days to eat more than 1400

>>76456168
Yeah I do cardio every other day (3 miles on my off days from the gym) and to be frank it actually makes things because my brain will tell me I can eat more on a run day since I ran.

Why did you do that?

>>76456159 (OP)
Interesting. Have you tried intermittent fasting?

>>76456174
I had a gluttonous moment. Pic related.

>>76456181
Looks good. What's the problem?

>>76456179
My routine is big breakfast, big lunch, and no dinner. Today I had dinner on top of that which was this pizza. I've been doing okay, but I'm dying to shave off 10 lbs to get me to my goal. These last few pounds are truly the hardest.

>>76456184
> My routine is big breakfast
oh no no no

>>76456183
I'm just ashamed at my lack of self control as I'm trying to lose weight.

>>76456184
Nice. You've got this.

It means thin crust

>>76456181
I mean it doesn't look like a big chain pizza covered in oil and slop so that's a positive

wtf i love neapolitan now

>>76456159 (OP)
I ate a parfait today, after eating out twice. I lost the battle, but the war rages on.

Getting /fit is a mental game. Get used to losing battles. Learn. Evolve. Even the best of us don't always win.

Play around with your caloric deficit. Maybe go a little less hard? It's all about long term consistency.

i was born at the wrong century

2 weeks into my cut doing 1900 per day, should I add a refeed day or is it a meme? I feel kinda low and flat but I can fight a little longer I think. Thoughts?

>>76458128
1900kcal means shit without knowing what your TDEE is. what's your deficit? read the sticky. -500kcal daily deficit is your aim.

>>76458140
I’m for sure -500 mate. I’m 73kg 176cm and do 10k steps and lift hard x4 a week and 20min cardio on top of that on lifting days. Plus weight drops, I was 74.5 2 weeks ago

>>76458158
seems you are dialed in. i'm on the same track doing cutting now. 85kg 187cm and do 10km walking daily and lift hard 3-4x a week. also losing fat fast.

i've done this a few times now over the last 5 years. my advice is do the refeed at least 5 days every two weeks. don't go over TDEE and keep the cardio/gym. also don't increase the weights as the caloric high will fuck up something in your body if you do so. increasing weights is for bulking not for refeeding stages.

not sure how common the above is but it works wonders for me. i'm on 14-15% bf now going back down to 12. should take about a month or 2-3 total with life and all.

refeeding is not a meme. you'll feel it in your hormonal state. expect libido and confidence to go trough the roof.

Not a lost battle, just a minor scratch that will heal.

you have carb addiction and CICO didn't solve it
you have to become carnivore if you want to deal with it.
It's like being alcoholic and giving yourself a drink budget. eventually you will fail and get piss drunk again

>my advice is do the refeed at least 5 days every two weeks. don't go over TDEE and keep the cardio/gym
5 days seems too much your cut will take a month longer if you do it 4 times in the span of 8 weeks. My libido and confidence is indeed down the past 5 days and i feel flat as shit like i've never touched any weights in my life although i can lift 100kg bench for 4-5 reps still. Really weird.

What's your desired bodyweight? also how many steps are 10km walking? This is shit

>>76458334
>you have carb addiction and CICO didn't solve it
Nah he has slop addiction. CICO is not to blame here

>>76456188
Fat loss is a long term journey. Don't be autistic and enjoy your pizza every once in a while. As long as you're not overeating every single week you'll be fine.

>>76458339
What part of the pizza is slop?
