For pumpkin pullers working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice. Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/ - Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros), LoseIt (great for both), or Waistline (FOSS).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and lose fat much quicker. Not lifting results in the body eating away muscle AND fat.
Drink more water.
Read the /fit/ sticky: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calories.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your calories (alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

NUN GODS WE ARE BACK

I like all the pumpkins in them lately, because im eating alot of pumpkin for my diet

>285 at start of year
>224 today
>should end the year at a 200lb OHP and if I stay consistent around 210lbs
going to hit 200lbs and sit there. Not too far off. Plan is for next year to hit 225lbs on OHP and 200lbs BF

My body looks like shit. When does it stop looking like shit?

so hungry...

>>76718301
continue to lose weight until it stops looking like shit

>last bit of fat on top of my abs won't go away

>>76718377
>20% bodyfat
absolute bs, more like 15%
im 20% and still look like shit

>>76718389
don't be so hard on yourself. 20% doesn't look good but it doesn't look like shit either with the listed lifts.

>>76718394
fatty cope

>>76718389
20% only looks good if you're already massive and have loads of muscle
at which point you'll still look better at 15% anyways

>>76718399
Not him, but I dont plan on going lower than 20% at 5'11. Shooting for around 200-210. Been lifting for 6 year and dropping weight since I was 400lbs. I dont want to look like TOO big of a mess with loose skin. Nice dubs btw

down 21 pounds in 18 days, kind of feels like its slowing down a little. gonna keep it going.

Alright back to fasting after falling off. First it's weight loss then I'm fixing my thinning hair.

Scale says I put on like 300-400g but I don't recall pooping yesterday, probably 'cause of the Mounjaro.

>>76718388
>cum gutters
?

>>76718424
yeah. it causes constipation.

>>76718427
nevermind fatty ur dumb just dont reply

I know I'll be no more than 190 by February. I also know I'm still gonna look like shit. My goal is 180 but I think even there I'm gonna look like shit. I feel like I'm going to have to go really lean. Maybe 170 or lower. And its just sad because its going to take so fucking long. Why does life have to be so freaking hard?

>>76718424
I don't think I had a normal shit for the first 8 month on Mounjaro and each shit resulted in significant blood loss.

>taking wegovy for the 2nd time in my life

Is it safe to say these drugs are basically useless after the 1st cycle? It was like a miracle drug at first and now I might as well be injecting sugar pills

>>76718452
>significant blood loss.
I feel like that's one of those unacceptable side effects.

I'm 10 weeks into a cut and have lost 15 lbs if anyone wants to ask questions or whatever

>>76718424
Ever since I quit booze I only shit every 2-3 days :( kinda miss those apocalyptic blow outs

>>76718471
gj anon tell us what you do!

I WANT A FUCKING BURGER

>>76718481
I'm 5'11" male (male), I'd say my TDEE is probably around 2500. I just eat at 2000 calories and increase my steps, using a step counter on my phone. I planned to do 10k steps a day but it's working out to only be 8k, which is fine. I don't like to go less than 2k cals so if I wanted to lose faster I'd just increase my steps. I'm also lifting in the gym 4 times a week but dropped volume to 2 sets per exercise and I haven't lost any strength.

I use MyFitnessPal to count calories. I don't think I'd be able to do it without that. The barcode-scanner thing is a godsend.

Hmm what else. I guess I'd also mention I allow myself a treat every now and then, so like if I've been strict for like 2-3 weeks then I'll allow myself a pizza or something for one day. I don't go above maintenance calories though.

Also what allows me to be strict is the knowledge that I'm only doing it for 3 months. This time I actually thought even that feels too long so next time I bulk I'm not going to go as heavy, so my cut will only last 2 months instead of 3.

>>76718501
Then have a burger

>>76718501

am i supposed to still use the sedentary setting if i'm actually working out and exercising??

>>76718561

doable with 1000 calories deficit, isn't it?

>>76718568
For 75 days?

>>76718571
1053 by my calculator.

>>76718570
general advice, yes. if you know your shit, not really.

im scared to eat
if i eat the hunger will come back

>>76718581
I once fasted for 5 days straight. A single pickle spear kicked off a binge fest that lasted 5 months.

>>76718561
1200 a day, high protein, should finish after 7-8 weeks
why do you have a specific timeframe?

>>76718586
I'm going to a singles event over New Year's and I'd like to be 115kg or less by then.
Ideally I'd be a lot less, but that seems out of range for this year at least.
I'm kinda doubtful I'm gonna pull at 115, but I have done it before.

>>76718561
2.2lbs per week!? IMPOSSIBLE

>>76718591
Weak. Didn't tell me to amputate a limb.

>>76718561
>>76718573
unironically yes
depending on how fat you are it's completely doable with just fasting, start by doing 3 day fasts and see how you go from there

rise and grind

>AHA suggests <6% saturated fat from calories
This seems unrealistic

>>76718656
it is and they're jews, ignore all their advice and eat as much red meat / fish / eggs as you can

which should a beginner to lifting do, arnold or shoulder presses?

Anyone able to weigh in besides the schizo

>>76718570
>>76718579
Honestly what even is slightly or lightly active, would it hurt to have some examples to illustrate what constitutes days of 'exercise'?

>>76718703
i've always used sedentary so idk. but there are caclulators for how many calories are burned doing such and such activity for how long depending on your stats.
nothing is really accurate.

>Sober October, Day 12
today i ate:
3/4 cup of greek yogurt
1 cup of steel cut oats (cooked)
1 protein bar
1 chicken and avocado salad
1 bean burrito
4 cups of black coffee
3 diet pepsis
vitamins/psyllium

1600kcal. i WILL do better tomorrow.

>>76718676
what exactly do you want to hear, retard?
try making a diet plan that has less than 5% of the calories from saturated fat. I'll give you a hint: it's impossible with meat, because even fucking tuna and chicken breast has too much saturated fat for that.
Then take it to it's logical conclusion and ask if you think a vegetarian diet is healthy, and that 99.99% of the people in the world are eating unhealthy diets, or if the "experts" are full of shit.

I'm able to see my collarbones now. They are barely noticeable, but I am able to see them.
I have not seen in them in over two years.

>>76718674
arnold seems better for the shoulders since you have your elbows in front of your body.
the real important thing for a newbie is doing rotator cuff exercises (facepulls/band pull aparts) to avoid getting an impingement.

>>76718676
if anyone in here actually knew what they are talking about they wouldnt be fat in the first place

>thought i was doing well
>got addicted to air frying for a bit
>every night i was having hash browns, tendies, fish pieces and potato wedges
This was going on for about 3 weeks, no wonder I haven't made any goddamn progress

>>76718676
eggs/chicken are 13% give or take, 6 is half of 13 almost.
on a weight loss diet where you eat half as much as you're supposed to, it sort of evens out, doesnt it.

I'm Six foot 1, 230 lb

I emotionally eat and am on medication that makes me gain weight.

I am prepared to eat much less, how many calories should I eat? Also, what foods to avoid being malnourished? OMAD?

>>76718742
>>every night i was having hash browns
any good recipe?

>>76718813
No, it was just frozen sloppa

>>76718807
1200, mostly protein, try to have some veg with your dinner
you can survive a couple months on low nutrition, just eat a vitamin every day

its easiest to do 3 meals a day. youre less hungry
if your weight loss slows switch to 2, then one

Is "muscle is denser than fat so your scale won't go down if you're gaining muscle" true or cope?

>>76718848
it's true
that's exactly what recomp is
you can stay the same weight while thinning down as long as you're a newbie lifter and gain enough muscle to offset fat loss.
For context if your body eats a pound of muscle it's about 600-700 calories, while a pound of fat is 3,500.

>>76718147 (OP)
Does anyone know how to not feel sick and weak when you're eating at a deficit? It's like shit hits me harder. Hunger, if I have caffeine the effects of it are more noticeable. Fucking sucks.

i like not drinking tons of water so i see the scale go down in the morning. i know its bad.

>>76718958
Yeah don't fixate on the scale numbers in this specific instance. If the hunger pangs are making you want to eat when you shouldn't, hydrate instead.

>>76718961
nah water's for pussies real men drink the air. number go down make me feel good unga bunga ect

>>76718969
Tried this but I burp and bloat like a motherfucker unfortunately.

>>76718848
Mostly cope, but can be true. A motivated individual can lose about 2lbs of fat a week, a similarly motivated individual can gain about 2lbs of muscle in a month. Its significantly easier to lose fat than it is to gain muscle so rarely will they even out, but it can happen. Track something other than your weight, like arm, neck, and waist circumference to see if you're still moving in the right direction.

>>76718807
if you learn to love nonfat greek yogurt you'll have an easy time.

I am equally surprised and scared that things might spiral out of control here so Im going to do all kinds of cardio and do either OMAD or extended fasting until this shit goes down. Can I have any feedback or tips about this? I am confident I can shrug this off but back when the doctor told it really felt like a wake up call.

Honestly, just take whatever number it gives you with a grain of salt. If you use the number and you can't lose weight or you're losing weight but it's dropping way more than it should, then you should recalibrate. I found that for myself it was pretty decent, even though I also lifted weights 3x/week and that's probably not considered "sedentary" anymore. I probably fucked up my calorie counting somewhere but it still evened out to a very good rate of progress.

>>76719051
No advice other than to do what you're already doing. My stats are way worse than yours and I don't have diabetes or prediabetes per my last full panel blood work. So you probably still have a few stop signs before you really need to go full blown panic mode.

>>76719051
You should be fasted for at least 8 hours minimum for glucose bloods. Your doctor is a jeet and will likely kill you.

Its pretty common where I live when you have an open wound or a very bad bruise for the doctor to check your blood sugar with a glucometer to screen for any ongoing or current prediabetes or diabetes condition (live in tacoland btw)

>>76719151

It was not a fasted glucose test and it was taken by a glucometer around 3 hours after I last ate (pic related)

It’s a bruise. It’s all still self contained.

I've been really going hard losing the weight since early September. Trying to go from 210 to the lower end of the 170's by the end of the year. Hovering around 189-190 at the moment. Initially I was much stricter with the diet but I'm allowing myself more enjoyable food given my exercise load and pretty extreme deficit (1600 cals). Going to stay adherent for these next two weeks and try to break into 170s by Thanksgiving and be down to the goal by the New Year. Done this before in the realm of 190's down to 150's four years ago in about 16 weeks (similar time frame to now).

>>76718925
What is your deficit ? Otherwise eat more of anything low kcal like your green veggies

the bloat is back

Time to lock in boys, going to go hard on the weight loss for the rest of the year, no alcohol, no slop. Should easily be enough time to lose the final kilos, if I can actually stop drinking it will probably be even faster.

81,4kg (-0,4), 19% bf still.

Experience tells me I shouldn't be worried, but because I weigh myself only once a week I'm left with the feeling that the last week was a total waste of effort now.
Luckily this upcoming weekend is the first in like 3 or 4 months where nothing happens, so I'm in complete control this week.

Stuck at 95kg for months, i keep fucking up
Gotta stop eating cookies and cakes

>>76719651
>>Like 800 calories total a day monday-friday
how? unless you're very conscious of your intake and purposefully going that low you should be starving 24/7

>>76719657
It was in preparation for the weekend.
Just lean meat and potatoes, OMAD. And I'm blessed with the ability to fall asleep nearly anywhere, and on an empty stomach. The hunger doesn't really affect me anymore, the lethargy is the worst part.

>>76719651
Water weight can depend on a multitude of things.
Carbs require water for your body to process, so if you eat a lot of carbs, your body will hold onto water (Or carb-heavy food will be more watery than other foods) and as a consequence.

Inaccurate napkin math would be like
>600g of carbs.
>230g~ of glycogen.
>Body needs about 3x the amount of water to digest glycogen.
>Body will retain 600-1kg of water.

This is all super approximate and you shouldn't really use this for anything other than a thought of how this stuff vaguely works. But, essentially a week is too short of a time to really inform you as to how much weight you're losing because metabolism works on a longer timespan than all that.

Today I learn that Sugar free soda with artifical sweeteners can make you hold water. I will not drink 1l of pepsi max the night before weigh in again.

Eating less now during the day and coming home and having a big dinner. I need to get more creative than just meat with boiled veg and potatos, but this is what dinner has become now. I need inspiration, I guess I go to chatgpt now eh

Yooo, I struggled with losing weight my entire life and alcoholism seriously heavily through the last decade before I actually got sober and lost weight.
It was about a handle a day for the better part of the decade leading up the decision.
Weirdly enough, it wasn’t kidney failure (and in turn dialysis), multiple detoxes, seizures, ruined personal relationships or wrecked cars cars that actually got me to successfully stop drinking 24/mother fucking 7.
It was counting calories.
Actually counting the calories I consumed super diligently, weighing all my food and being crazy anal retentive about it really made me take a beat to consider the booze.
A single serving/an airplane bottle of vodka was 100 calories and I’d need about 12 of those to get actually drunk (tolerance is a motherfucker).
I still drink every once in a while, because being 100% sober sounds like a hellish life to me.
Every sober person I know is basically just constantly talking about how they miss it in one way or another.
But practicing the virtue of self control for so long (it took a couple years to lose the weight) actually instilled some into me.
It’s miraculous, honestly.
Tackling the two together works really, really well.
Sometimes it’s what people who have been struggling with both need.
I wish you the best of luck, anon.
Get a kitchen scale and seriously measure all your food.
Go for walks and listen to music if you feel hungry, I couldn’t do anything sedentary like watch media or play vidya, it was instrumental in keeping me from breaking.
Idk how much you’re drinking but if you’re at risk of DTs/seizures definitely taper off, but if you haven’t been drinking heavily every single day for the last year, you should be okay.
Let me know if you have any questions, I’ll check the thread again later.
Godspeed, homie.

F
buy the device and test every morning before you eat. it's like 20-30 bucks. get a device that has cheap testing strips.
i don't want to scare you because if you ate real sugary shit the test doesn't mean shit.
some people have it in their genes and develop diabetes easier than others. if you do get high blood sugar results when you wake up (above 100. even close to 100 is scary. you'll need to be 85ish or less for normal), cut sugar intake (breads and pastas included) go keto or some shit.

Throat virus was on its way out but turned into a full blown fever-puking-sweating thing and i missed out on a run for the first time and i am now 2 runs behind schedule. Not just that but i'm due for the first ever 20min straight run which i have a 0% chance of actually completing with a stuffy nose. I hate this, but i'm eating less and not gaining so that's good. Good luck this week, anons!

no bread yay. bread has shitton of calories.
or you can get extra thin bread.

it is really a limbo, i tried recomp like twice and it just doesn't work, it doesn't
there are too many variables to take care of, you see no progress, kills your motivation

I think that for my next try i'll just starvemaxx then bulk, lifting is pointless since you can't progress weights if you're not eating a lot

maybe recomp is possible in theory, like in a lab with all ideal conditions, but it shouldn't be advised

>>76719787

>>litterally instantly stopped eating chips, chocolate and other junk food
>>already lost 4kg in month and plan to lose weight till 82 or something
i stopped eating that shit for 5 months and no loss at all.
not until i started starving myself did i start to see gains.

>>76720477
>i stopped eating that shit for 5 months and no loss at all.
That's impossible bro, track your callories nigga

>>76720463
unfortunately yeah, it's easier to become skinny and then fit than successfully recomposing your body
also this >>76720473

>>76720504
chatGPT insists that I try recomp so strongly

anyway, should I bother with lifting while I lose all this weight?

>>76720463
>lifting is pointless since you can't progress weights if you're not eating a lot
that's why calisthenics is better than weightlifting for weightloss

1. Great job on your progress and discipline the past month and a half.
2. Do you have a plan in place to keep the weight of this time, or will you be back here 4 years from now?

Finally reached 174lbs, below 25BMI, I finally made it to the healthy weight range.
I've been doing recomposition and I'm seeing some results. Going to keep going down to 165 then hold at maintenance

Started out with 97 kg in June, was just too lazy to post updates here. Might post body at some point. Weight loss is fucking hell, but after a long enough period, you get surprisingly used to it. It's nice being able to kneel down again and tie your god damn fucking shoes without all the masses of fat trying to stop you from functioning like a normal human being.

Most common preparations involve loading the potato with a fuckton of fat (french fries, hash browns, mashed potatos, loaded baked potatoes). They are generally a high glycemic index food, and a no-no if you're trying to keep your carbs low. However they are cheap and nutritious and, like most things, fine-to-good in moderation.

>>76720488
>track your callories nigga
that was what i meant with starving myself.

>>76720463
>my next try i'll just starvemaxx then bulk
the skinnyfat solution is to lift and only cut when you have some muscles going on.
>maybe recomp is possible in theory, like in a lab with all ideal conditions
300 calories deficit while maxing out protein.
you can ignore the deficit and just max out protein while lifting.

>>76720685
so bulks

reading these threads makes me glad i decided to deal with my weight before i actually got seriously fat
188lbs is as fat as i ever care to get

What's your weight now compared to your height and stuff

Reminder that even if yesterday was bad, there are still good decisions you can make today. And if today is going poorly, you can make tomorrow a better day.

>>76720457
Honestly when I do drink every once in a while it’s strictly socially and only ever three or four beers (I call it the “three or four beer rule,” I know how plebbit that sounds).
Not only does total abstinence sound like hell, but it also has a tendency to deter actual accountability.
People slip up inevitably and then use it as an excuse to act a fucking fool because either “they already fucked up, what does it matter” or “they’re no longer responsible for any decisions they make because muh alcoholism,” thanks to AA.
That was one of my biggest issues with AA, in addition to being one big pity party circlejerk, also VEHEMENTLY discourage true accountability, because they preach that alcohol is a terrible devil juice that causes people to do awful things and (here’s the big one) they’re completely powerless over it.
That’s one of the things they make you say over and over again every time you go, you must admit that you’re literally powerless over alcohol and it’s terrible properties, and that the things you do while inebriated are not your fault because of it.
I believe that everything is a conscious choice, and I take responsibility for the things I’ve done under the influence, because I made that choice.
Nothing takes that ability away from me, despite alcohol compromising the decision making part of your brain to a degree.
I get it, some people really do need to live a completely dry life- but that’s because they have no self control.
I had an astounding lack of it myself, but I managed to buckle down and teach myself through practicing the most difficult situation anyone with a drinking problem will face, which is when to say “I’m good, no more for me.”
I have many, many friends that are still trying to quit drinking and not a single one has been successful other than my buddy’s dad.
They all relapse eventually and then go on a bender, then start over.
I just mastered self control, which was hard.

i think its a pretty fun source of cardio, beats walking/running on a treadmill at least. If you play singles its actually pretty decent exercise too.

>>76720964
I reached my goal years ago. I come here to give people advice and to encourage them. Same can't be said about you, obviously.

Just noticed that I passed 100 days alcohol free this weekend. Down 24 lbs in those 100 days and 150lbs overall. 5lbs from Overweight bmi

>>76720989
Nice

doing this diet has been much easier to follow than I had thought

I've struggled with my weight for a while, but am finding a few things that are making a huge difference
>OMAD fasting only once a week
>learning about cortisol and stress
>leaving people who stress me the fuck out
>solid workouts, but also solid rest
>more frequent intake but low cal
>protein shakes made with milk replacing breakfast and also as an afternoon snack
>rice and delicious cooked veg with dinner to fill the stomach and feel full
>vitamins so i'm not deficient in anything
currently have a neck tweak thing so doing a lot of cardio and surprised at how my stomach is shrinking, feels good!

>>76721008
getting at least a solid 7 hours of sleep every night has helped so much with both my weight loss, and fighting off hunger pangs during my IF fast

I either walk 5 hours tomorrow, or 7 hours over the next two days to make up for today. It rained and I ate cake.

>>76720902
what ru confusd abt

weight only went down 0.6 pounds since last night. i think im finally hitting a plateau. my re-feed day is tomorrow so im just going to keep going.

Good talk. Have a good one man, feel better.

What’s 1234

>>76720714

It's all about posture. I'm 6'5 and I do diddlies and squats just fine.

>>76721183
Idk. I feel like squats are a short man’s game. On leg day and on core day I’ll use machines but that’s about it. I fucking love lumberjacks, got my penis pointers all jacked up and fancy

>>76721177
you don't really need those specific exercises. it's just that they're a universal benchmark.

>>76718703
I'd say 2-3 days a week where you walk/bike for 20-30 minutes straight would be considered lightly active. Either that or body weight/light weight workout for the same duration/frequency.

>>76718848
it's technically true but it doesn't necessarily mean that's what's happening the majority of the time. It can be due to muscle gain especially if you're really fat and getting your noob gains, but after that it's mostly cope.

>>76721251
Poops and water weight def matter. I can gain or lose 10lbs in a day

Tried the IF thing but was always bloated during the day, was uncomftable, going back to smaller regular meals. Kinda feels like im just snacking all day, but at least i feel leaner without a disgusting bloated belly

>>76721256
I just watch a will tennison video where he purposely gained 10lbs in a day of bloat, and then showed how to lose the sane the very next day.

day 5 of psmf (under 1000 calories a day)
hit a new record low weight
the hunger has mostly gone away but I feel like shit 24/7 and my entire body is sore and I can't stop thinking about food

>>76719753
something I've been making quite a bit is:
1lbs ground chicken breast / ground turkey
cook in pan with a little bit of japanese bbq sauce (1 or 2 tbsp is only 35-70cal)
Served over ~200cal of rice
red pepper flakes, sesame seeds
can add in broccoli florets or half an avocado sliced up.
Comes out to 600-800 calories and makes 2 servings. Quick, easy, plenty of protein, and it tastes decent.

>eat fiber for breakfast
>fart for several hours at the office
yeah i think i'm done with fiber bros

>>76721287
>feel like shit all the time
That's because it is a retarded meme diet

>>76721294
>barely eat any food

I feel like I'm finally almost done. 40kg down in 10 months and only 5 kg-10 kg left to lose. From over 110kg to 73 kg, 181 cm tall.

>>76721287
>I can't stop thinking about food

fixed your problem anon

>>76720154
you could achieve this look in 1-2 years, probably less if you're not that fat. wouldn't take anything too crazy beyond regular lifting, a decent diet, and maybe a short cutting phase to get to around 15% body fat

>>76721287
Go for walks and listen to music.
When I was dieting I literally couldn’t stop thinking about how hungry I was and would’ve 100% fucked up if I didn’t go for walks.
Doing anything sedentary was impossible (movies, tv, videogames, whatever) because I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that I was fucking starving.

>>76720154
That’s just a normal man’s body, lmao.

>>76721304
i guess that's an option, but i'm twomadding and i'm not sure if i want to go to work on an empty stomach (though to be fair i only go twice a week)
maybe i could skip lunch?

>>76721302
Thanks, I've eaten a single meal of chicken breast, rice and veg for most days, some exceptions when going out with friends or a party but otherwise it was 1000-1200 cals of chicken and rice and veg

Getting back on track after breaking my diet for the last few months and gaining 12lbs. A good meal I've discovered is your bog standard chicken and rice, but with zero sugar head country bbq sauce. It's like 15 calories per 2tbsp, so you can just drench the chicken and rice in that stuff. Super tasty.

No, you're just going to have issues shitting on low calorie diets. It's what it is.
I was constipated for 2 days on my last 3 day fast, immediately went into eating eggs / sausage the next day and shat again within 8 hours of my first meal.

>>76721611
take ur meds dude ur gf dont exist lmao

>>76721639
Nuh uh. My gf is a model. My sexy fasting is what attracted her.

>>76721626
It sucked. I started at 140. It took a little over 4 months, and I did keto / fasting. I wasn't totally committed to losing all of the weight and kept telling myself I was recomping, so I had weeks where I didn't lose any weight, felt like shit about my body, and then went hard on fasting, which was terrible mentally. Fasting works, but it fucking sucks.
I am very happy with the amount of muscle I gained and my strength has improved considerably, but I'm still not satisfied with how my body looks and I seriously hope I never have to lose that much weight again without glps.

>>76721611
Checked. I’m still on my journey but you look good dude. Pic rel was taken last week. I finally feel good going out in a swimsuit now and it feels good to have all the other dudes be jealous of my gains

Zero calories and just the right amount of caffeine to keep you going and get your shits right, lol. I call it my Sobritea (fuck you, it’s cute, i don’t care)

>>76721767
i add some milk. like sixth of a cup.

Sip that shit black and see if it makes you shit better. Worked for me.

>>76718147 (OP)
Put the fork down. It's that simple. A little less than a year ago, my brother started not eating at work and only eats when he comes home after work, he was never much of a morning eater anyways, so that worked well enough for him, and he's currently lost like 30-40 kilos, or something. And he was a giga fatty before. Just by basically not eating for the first eight hours of his day. In his defense, he works for a furniture company where he lugs heavy couches around all day, but still.

shit i mean 159** but i guess that also means i lost 98 pounds actually. its been a while.

>>76721510
take miralax if you're really concerned. when things are flowing again, add metamucil or psyllium husk to your diet, stay hydrated, and eat more veggies you idiot.

I've read it takes a couple of years for the body to accept the new status quo. Even if you don't overeat, you will still somehow magically gain weight. Don't know how true that is, but i remember reading that somewhere.
