>Who is /fat/ for?
For fish fags (tuna or sardine) 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.

Seem to go through a thing where I lose a lot of weight in a day and then I seem to average out between the two points the next day and then sit at that weight for the next day as well.

I can't fucking walk im never touching the hip abductor machine again

>>76722039
How tall are you?

Taking my time losing weight with a mix of strength training and running. Nothing like catching a cold 5 days before you have to run a half-marathon race.

i'm starting to think seasonal depression is real. cutting in fall and winter feels effortless. and i think that's because i'm in such a great mood all the time. but spring and summer it's EHHHH

After going through the effort of losing weight, I have become disgusted with fat people, fat females in particular. 90% of the people I see need to lose 25+ pounds. If you are fat, you are a degusting human.

>>76722137
How tall are you? 208lbs isn’t fat for most dudes

>>76722021 (OP)
I've reached skinnyfat and stomachs getting flatter by the fortnight, but I've read something, is it true that people who have flat bellies, even some who have noticeable abs, have mornings or entire days where their stomach is noticeably bloated, either from meals that stay in the gut the whole day or whatever else. I was under the impression once you get flat it just stays flat regularly

>>76722206
5'11. I'm coming down from 228. I really don't know why it says 224. I'm going to be going down to 195 and then back up to 205 maybe

>>76722213
I am this guy

>>76722218
Have you just been eating less or doing a workout routine as well? If so what have you been doing?

>>76722230
started running, upper and leg day two day split a week. I am running about 26 miles a week at this point with one half marathon every week. Of course I've also been making more conscious decisions on eating and cut back calories.

>>76722236
Ok we have a similar build. I bike everyday around 16mi and cutting cals

>>76722236
I always hesitate about running bc all the people I know that run/ ran have fucked up knees and look way older than they are

>>76722251
I feel like there is a very large number of people who "used to run" and stopped because their "knees hurt." Like the mysterious shoulder injury in lifting, or my girlfriend not letting me ride a motorcycle.

Key thing for running, do not increase your weekly running distance by more than 10%, and once you're at 20 miles a week, maybe decrease to 5% a week. Listen to your body

>>76722295
Don’t get me wrong bro. I used to do 6-10 miles on the beach every day. I just know “runners” usually end up looking jacked up. All scrawny and velvety. Same thing with cyclists. I just walk and lift now. Swim for fun

so hungry...

>>76722309
running on the beach is actually really beneficial in protecting your knees from something more jarring like running on asphalt. You have the right idea with swimming though, that's the best on your joints by far

>>76722251
my east african friend who runs many many miles, usually on track, cinder, or packed earth or at worst grass always laughs at how much road running americans and europeans do

>Sober October, Day 13
today i ate:
1.5 cups of greek yogurt
4.5 ounces of smoked turkey breast
2 slices of whole grain bread
1 small bag of baked lays
4.5 ounces of chicken breast
6 ounces of brussel sprouts
2 teaspoons of avocado oil
1 protein bar
4 diet pepsis (bad habit won't die)
3 cups of black coffee
lots of hot water with lemon
vitamins/psyllium

1300 calories

dinner today is a singular apple 146c
so pathetic its almost enough to bring a man to tears

I have big belly and little arms. I think of myself as t rex for I cannot lift my body weight.

Not sure if this is related to the thread so forgive me if it ain't, but can I get some thought on stair climbing as a form of cardio?
The gist of it is that where I live, it's not really safe to jog because people not only drive like fucking maniacs, but pedestrian roads aren't common, I don't have access to a gym or a pool, and to be perfectly honest, times are tough and I cannot really afford a threadmill or an indoor bike.
However by doing some googling for possible alternative, I did come to learn about just climbing stairs up and down, and it makes sense to me but I've also read a lot of discussions about how it's not that great?
I don't know, would really appreciate some thought on the matter.

It's been 3 weeks since I last had alcohol and I'm really tempted today
How do I resist?

>>76722439
Not to pry but are you alcoholic? I'm not trying to be a judgemental asshole, it's just that I'm a former smoker so I can somewhat relate if it's about addiction rather than pleasure, and if it is, I have no better advice to give you than just tough it out, the moment you relapse is when it all goes to shit.

>>76722444
I don't think I am, but it feels like I have bad habits more than actual addiction

>>76722445
Then I have two solutions to propose:
Have a beer, but with an effort of will, leave it at that, no more than that one beer, remember that moderation is (for most things) better than abstinence.
My second proposition is that instead of booze, try another drink, of course don't do that everytime you get the craving, but simply look for an alternative that may help you satiate your needs, or just as well lessen it.

>>76722366
I will prob just run lap around my local sports ground when i start c25k

>>76722435
Daily i do one single step up and down and alternate legs for 30 minutes, seems to be working.
Once i reach 85 kilos i will walk outside more often probably get a dog.

>>76722470
What would you think about doing 15 minutes of climbing, take a break, and another 15 minutes, on a day out of two?
I did a test run just to see and it seem to be the extent of my abilities. It made my heart beats like a jap drummer on cocain and I was covered in sweat, and my legs felt like cotton candy the next day so I figured that was about my limit.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is that good?

>finished a 4 day fast this morning
>ate at maintenance (at 1900 calories right now, going to drink a protein shake later tonight to bump it up to 2200)
>Already up three pounds

>>76722435

how much did you lose in the fast

In Belgium, I won't say where exactly for the sake of my privacy, it's not like I think I'm gonna get doxxed or some dumb shit like that but I'm just a bit anal when it come to personal informations on the internet.

Also, checked.

>>76722557
It's not every day I hear a positive comment on my country on this website, so thanks, though I'll confess I've only ever been to the capital once during an elementary school trip.

>>76722565
I’ve been to Brugge and Antwerp, I love Belgium. In fact, there’s a war hammer store just a stones throw away from the main square in Antwerp that is cool AF. Belgium is great.

>>76722570
Ah, so you visited the Flanders provinces, I understand a bit better your good onlook on Belgium, I'm Wallonian see, and I don't hate my Flemmish neighboors, in fact I commend how well they maintain their cities, we definitely could take a page from their book.

>>76722576
Maybe I’m a bit kind. I’m a Southern man who loves anybody who’s White but I did have a great time every time I’ve been there. God bless bro

>>76722591
You too bro

30kg down this year, a few kg off a healthy bmi range.
No one cares I lost weight, no change in how others treat me, still invisible to women.
Just went from an obese incel to an incel with loose skin.

I am going to eat a double cheeseburger with bacon.

>>76722615

GENUINELY HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE SHITTY FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS STILL IN BUSINESS????
>go to burger king instead of mcdonalds (the burgers taste better and are cheaper)
>of course the mobile ordering system is fucking down, can't use the app

>"SORRY SYSTEM BROKEN, CASH ONLY"
>the worker in the second window doesn't even say hi to me, she just hands me my food
>they fucking get it wrong anyways, no bacon, no onion, and they added ketchup
it's every single fucking time. This was supposed to be a "light" cheat meal (the burger is only 440 calories and 27g of protein) and I can't even fucking enjoy this.

>>76722702
>burger king
That’s your problem. Chick Fil A, Whatsburger, and Culvers. Those are thr only White fast food restaurants, at least here in the South

>>76722702
anon u do know u can go back and get ur proper order?

>>76722720
Yeah but then they spit in it, put pubes in it, do all sorts of bad stuff. Never piss off people who prepare your food

>>76722720
yeah and fucking wait another 20 minutes through the drive thru line because the stupid spic workers couldn't figure out that you wanted bacon on the BACON cheeseburger?

>>76722728
That’s pretty fucking bad.

>>76722726
thats just a myth, they arent allowed to do that
you'd have to ask them remake ur food 3+ times for them to do that

>>76722731
Idk. My best friend growing up became a chef and he says they put sweat, dick cheese, boogers, spit and all sorts of shit in people food all the time. I trust him bc I know he’s not lying. AND HES AN EDUCATED WHITE GUY. Imagine what the subhumans making minimum wage are doing….

>>76722702
>why aren't the heckin minimum wage workers that can't afford a house being super nice and friendly!!!????1111

How do I deal with my ass getting hurt when sitting long periods of time after shedding a lot of weight?
My hips and buttocks lost too much fat and now I feel my hipbone is pinching the pain nerve or some shit. It's getting worse now especially when waiting for the bus at hard concrete benches and those shitty pipe tube chairs. I even had to replace my office chair for a mesh one because it is honestly getting unbearable.

>>76722212
idk but back when i was lean cuisine skinny I could eat a whole day's worth of junk food and wouldn't look noticeably bloated at all, but it might depend on the person

>>76722741
why are there spics that can't speak english in my country, and why the fuck is burger king putting them in the drive thru speaker instead of the kitchen?
maybe if they can't afford a house here they should move back to guatemala or whatever shithole they're from.

i got myself into a DEEP ketosis with fasting and exercise.
i smell and taste something familiar
>it tastes like when i was a teen and huffed air duster to get high.
its so fucking disgusting

>>76722743
You just gotta lift. Muscle makes all the difference. Just do 4 days a week, chest and shoulders. Arms and back. Legs. And core. Literally 4-5 hours a week and you’re good to go

>>76722752
Can’t argue with that

>>76722702
Make your own anon, and I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm 100% serious, hamburgers aren't difficult to make, you can make them to your own taste and, before fast food got their dirty little mitts all over it, a burger was a perfectly fine and healthy meal.

>>76722128
6 foot 4

>>76722776
Chat is this true? Are supermarket burger patties actually not that bad, provided you use your own healthy oil to cook it?

do glps make you stop caring about food when on extremely low calorie diets, or do you still have the anxiety and constant thoughts about food?

>>76722212
Nobody, no matter skinny or fat, is safe from feeling bloated, and the causes can be as wide as a fat kid feasting on cakes all day. It can be something as innocent as just eating a meal that gives you difficulties to digest, to your liver being out of whack, or being, and I mean that literally, full of shit.

>>76722784
Friend, don't even bother buying a patty, just get some ground meat. Burgers are stupidly easy to make, the only thing that'll be annoying if you want to go 100% homemade are the buns.

>>76722776
A few years ago I was over at a buddy of mine’s house and we got WAY too drunk watching the football game and playing cards. I was supposed to make dinner that night, but bc of my inebriated state I had to ask my wife to do it. Long story short, I slurred my words and kinda talked her through it. Hand to God, she made the best burgers I’ve ever had in my entire life. She now makes the burgers every single time. Everglades heat seasoning, a little bit of adobo, salt and pepper, they’re fucking FIRE. I can’t bring myself to eat burgers from a restaurant anymore bc I know I can get better burgers at home, and I can guarantee they weren’t touched by niggers

>>76722784
>supermarket burger patties
depends, some have junk filler in them. just get normal beef mince and make your own. depending how much fat is in the burger, you don't need any extra oil to cook with.
some are just mince per-portioned and formed, with paper in between. they are fine but are overpriced.

>>76722788
Das it mane, I can understand relaxing with some junk food but honestly, even junk food is not only tastier but healthier if you make your own, and plenty of meals that are considered junk food used to be perfectly good for you. Modern times really fucked those up, another example, albeit this one do require some cooking skill, is the pizza.

>>76722792
Pre made factory patties will never compete with seasoned ground beef

>>76722800
that's why i said to just buy mince and make your own

>>76722805
I agree with you bro <3

>>76722795
One really easy way to make homemade pizza, if you’re too tired/ lazy to make dough, nan bread.

>>76722776
I've made homemade big macs, and I can promise you anons, they are in every single way better than the slop you get from your local mcdicks.

>>76722788
>has to talk wife through how to make burgers
Is your wife disabled?

>>76722816
I think he meant he was so shitfaced he had a hard time telling his wife that he wanted a burger.

>>76722816
Fuck you, asshole. Usually women do the indoor cooking and I had to teach her how to start up and use the grill, outside

>>76722822
>>76722823
I guess I was wrong.
Not gonna lie I kinda prefered my own interpretation, it was funny to imagine a drunk ass man trying to tell his wife he wanted a burger through fucked up slurred English and hand signs.

>>76722823
Yeah, okay. I concede. Pretty based.

Answer me this /fat/
My fat ass uncle is over 350lbs and 65 yo. He's been fat as fuck his entire life. How the fuck is alive?
Also his wife is over 400lbs and also over 60 plus eats a party pack of Hershey a day

>>76722814
I've never eaten a big mac in my life, because the idea of two thin patties sandwiched in between a shit load of bread with some seed oil sauce is disgusting to me

>>76722831
Considering life begins at 15% are they really living?

>>76722831
How tall are they?

>>76722831
For the same reasons the healthiest man alive can suddenly croak because something in his brain decided to fuck up. Sometime, it's just dumb luck.

>>76722810
my bad, took it the wrong way

speaking of burgers, smash burgers are really nice, they get extra crispy.

>>76722831
Is this them?

>>76722846
I got you boo. We’re all frens here :)

I think it's good that anon taught his tulpa how to cook

When does the goddamn stomach become flat

>>76722877
Checked. I think some other anon said it. You need to lift weights and grow muscle

>>76722726
>>76722736
This has gotta be bait because there’s almost a direct quote from “Waiting” and a scene pretty much paraphrased play-by-play.
Or you’re gullible as fuck.
por que no los dos, I suppose?

>>76722885
I bet you don’t know kitchen staff are all on cocaine either do you

>>76722877
Yeah you’ve gotta work your core.
When I cut down from being fat I kind of expected abs to show because of the whole “abs are made in the kitchen” meme (which, is like 90% true, honestly).
I got down to a ghoulishly skinny 155lbs at 6’3” and my stomach just contoured in like an early 2000s women’s model, sides too (thankfully I wasn’t fat enough to have extra skin).
I kept telling myself I’d stop the cut as soon as I finally saw abs- and if I’d stuck it out that long, I could go another week.
Turns out I had literally no core to speak of.
Started a bulk, working on my abs, shit’s gonna be okay.
I’m just chillin’ around 175 atm working my way back up to 200 before I cut again.
But yeah don’t believe abs are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT diet, fren.
They still require a little bit of work.

>>76722893
Bait confirmed. Thanks m8.

>>76722911
Checked. Whatever helps you sleep at night pretending you haven’t eaten countless boogers from kitchen staff

be grateful that God allows you to repent for a life of sin with a few months of mounjaro

>>76722910
That's why it's never, ever 100% one thing and 0 another. Abs are 80% diet, 20% exercise. So is weight loss. If you just diet perfectly without resistance training you're going to look emaciated, your body will have zero reason to keep muscle mass.
Resistance training is extremely important, but you don't need to minmax it. Just lift.
Good luck anon, you're gonna make it

Honestly, I’ve worked in kitchens and the reason I choose to make most of my food at home is because of large scale gross incompetence and lack of proper food safety.
Think Hanlon’s razor.
Don’t attribute to malice what could just as easily be explained by stupidity.
Most kitchen workers don’t give a fuck enough to fuck up your food on purpose, but they are already fucking it up by being incompetent.
Hell, I’ve never seen a health inspector that didn’t pack their own lunch- I assume for the exact same reason.
They’ve probably seen some shit, as have I.
As far as actual restaurants go, just don’t be a total cunt and you’ll be fine.
And don’t walk in ten minutes before close and go “oh, good! The kitchen’s still open!”
And it’s mostly line cooks that are geeked off the yak 24/7, and maybe FOH if it’s a trashy place.

anyways you pried a genuine response out of me, gr8 b8 m8 id r8 it 8/8.

Only been losing about 300 - 500 gram per week, so I decided to put my weight loss on turbo
>fast Mo + Tu
>go to gym 6 days a week, 50 min cardio after every sesh
>eat a lot cleaner, barely any bullshit, mostly meat, cheese, eggs and some fruits
>only lose 0.7 kg
If only someone told me 6 years ago what kind of hell longterm (6 months +) weight loss is I would've never gotten fat

Is losing 10lb in 6 mo. Good progress for a fatty? Im afraid I’m going to really struggle to lose the last 70lb of fat. Fuck. It’s been 6 mo. And I’ve only lost 10lb. I need a diet/lifestyle I can live by or a way trick my mind into fasting.

>>76723007
No its not good progress. A pound a week is normal weight loss at a deficit of 500 calories a day.

>>76723001
I need to do this…

>>76723003
>Only 300g-500g per week.
Nigga that's good. Yeah, you could go faster, but if you're getting 300g a week and it's consistent, don't rock the boat too much and do shit you can't maintain.

But, yeah. Realising you've got like months of this shit ahead of you does suck ass. Which is why the focus is what you can maintain long term, because you're gonna be doing it long term.

I could only do 3 minutes 30 seconds on the stair trainer...

I used to get sushi from this local Asian Chinese/ sushi fusion place. Sometimes multiple times a week. So, one day I rock up to their restaurant around 7PM and notice a sign on the door. CLOSED DUE TO HEALTH VIOLATION. Go online and look up what’s going on. Fucking cockroach AND rat infestation in the kitchen. Roach droppings and rat droppings in food prep areas. Dead roaches all over kitchen. Rat droppings all around…. I had been eating there all the fucking time. It’s completely put me off Asian food now. They tried to reopen a couple times but people were too put off to go back there. That’s some scary stuff

>>76723144
Not joking, if you've been at it awhile (6+ months) with no breaks it helps to take a week off to recover, dont go crazy and eat 4000+kcal a day but relax your limits and eat maintenance or a slight surplus for a week. Make sure you prioritize fat if you've been going extra lean for a long time itll help your hormones and brain.

>>76722601
Hey man, the real question is:
Do you feel better about yourself?
Do you feel good when you see yourself in the mirror, possibly for the first time in a long time?
If so, that’s what this is all about.
It’s just a little thing, but it compounds and a little bit of fresh confidence can help with social gains, too.
Cherish that feeling if that is the case, and use it to help drive you to further your regular gains.
If you put a decent amount of meat on your bones, the skin won’t seem as loose if that’s what you’re worried about.
But do it for you, not for anyone else meng.
Think about yourself even just a year ago, and all the hard work you’ve put into this.
You’re much closer to making it than you used to be.
We’re proud of you, seriously.

yeah but you arent a future royal marine[s] commando and/or gay bottom so dont even no reply me about obesity

Dang dude I’m the same dweeb that keeps posting about handle a day alcoholism and at one point I literally died, was resuscitated but had renal failure (kidneys) and had to be on dialysis for a while.
It was a miracle that I got off that shit in the first place, but I recently got some blood work done any my kidney and liver levels are “above average bordering on outstanding.”
I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you get your shit together, there’s a chance you could bounce back.
The liver does heal.
I also had high blood pressure after dying, that went away after a year or two and I was able to stop the meds for it.
Just keep with your healthy diet and lifestyle and check up on that in a while, maintain optimism homie.

>>76723460

I lost 115lbs and realized my dick is statistically much bigger than average, real big even. And I still got about 45lbs or so to lose, so there's some more to be dug out, this is very motivating bros

>>76723719
that's been one of the best things about my weight loss journey. Now I'm packing a mean 3 incher and it's getting longer every week

How do I get more energy? It feels like anytime I do anything remotely taxing, I want to take a nap. What do I do?

>>76723786
Are you getting enough protein? I wasn't before and used to take a nap during the day. I added more protein and now I don't nap.

Man I’ve got bad as fuck adhd and a horribly addictive personality, if something feels good I will keep consuming it until it either stops working or doesn’t feel good anymore.
With coffee (and other stimulants) too much of them make me sleepy.
First cup feels great, but I never stop there.
There have been so many days when I think “todays the day I’m finally going to get my life together” and then drink an entire pot of coffee in like half an hour, and then take a nap having accomplished nothing.

I'm not sure if it's possible that I can ever lose weight, or better myself in any way and no - these are not the words of depression or excuse.

This isn't ragebait or trolling or any sort of meme, I've been ruminating on these thoughts for months and I'm randomly deciding to voice them now.

I was extremely /fit/ in my late teens, I'm talking 99th percentile all-rounder. 18 years old with a 330lb bench with weight lifting being my 5th sport, I was heavily into climbing and parkour. Infinity pullups, climbing my urban sprawl for fun.

I had severe untreated psychiatric issues, a relationship breakdown led to a suicide attempt, everything unravelled and I had a NDE, was in a medically induced coma, nearly died.

I woke up, had to live in the hospital for a long time, months. Took every pill they suggested, subsequently went through years of talk therapy, cbt, dbt, just about every form of therapy that exists.

Eventually my response to therapy was so great that i could discontinue my antipsychotics, my mood stabilisers, everything. I was completely natural, and completely in control of myself.

>>76723719
I'm fat, and I got a fat dick.
I'm hoping it doesn't lose weight.

>>76724165
I had also gone from 180lbs to 250lbs due to medications and 0 exercise. And I've consistently gained ever since. Im now 360lbs 10 years later.

As a result of the therapy I recieved from my psychiatrist whilst I was in-house, I've accepted my duty to stay alive for my family, I want to live because living is better than dying, and I know that my direct family would be extremely negatively affected by my death.

Whilst I remain alive, I am not living. I have desires, but they are fleeting and have no strong grasp on me. I don't care for women, I don't care for money or status, I don't care for health or fitness. I simply have no strong persuasive desire for anything.

I am not self defeating, I don't look at myself with disgust, I am not motivated by other people or their perception of me. I recognise logically that I should lose weight and better myself, but practically I have no drive or reason to do so.

I am extremely non-materialistic. I do not crave women, money, power, career, nothing. I am essentially a husk. I enjoy things, I consume media, I have desire and jack off, I think about my future and what I want.

But I simply don't care to get it. I put 0 effort into obtaining anything beyond the bare minimum to stay alive. I am not sad. I do not feel upset or hopeless or worthless or "depressed".

I simply feel like I have seen reality for itself and I am existing within it. I am on disability neetbux, but I have worked full time and it was fine, I just don't want to because I don't care about money or having things.

Here's the thing, I want a way out. How do I rewire my brain so that I care about and want things again? Because I've spent years as an empty husk just clinging to life with no real meaning.

What meaning is there when I don't value much of anything in society? Women, education, career, wealth, status, or peoples perceptions? I'm not particularly religious either.

Is there a way out?

I got diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and I knew that the problem was probably bigger than that, but I kept reading about how an adult diagnosis had “changed so many lives!” and shit.
I wasn’t putting all my eggs in one basket, but apparently it really is bad as fuck because I am on the max dose of adderall you can be prescribed and it’s doing fucking nothing for my motivation.
I was afraid of this stuff because I saw my friends get GEEKED the fuck up, and it hardly affects me at all.
No change in motivation, which is really what I hoped amphetamines would do.
That’s what they’re supposed to do, right?
It just makes it a tiny bit easier to focus on one thing, and makes it easier to fall asleep at night because my mind isn’t racing.
I knew it wouldn’t answer this more esoteric question we’re mulling over but I thought it would at least put some pep in my step and make it easier to do shit like the basic life stuff I’ve been ignoring out of anhedonia.

I can only speak for myself anon. 18 months ago I was 350lbs and going nowhere in life. No friends, no gf. Not progressing in life or my job at all. Now I'm 200lbs and doing online schooling to get my engineering degree so I can move into the engineering department in work and finally make some progress professionally. Honestly I'm not anymore motivated now than I was before. But I realised something, at some point you have to do something with your life. Because if you don't you'll wake up one day and be 60 years old having achieved nothing. The best thing you can do I just make a goal for yourself and work towards that goal. Stop focusing on if you want to or if you are motivated, realise that either you make the change or you die an alone old man who has nothing to show for his entire life. I know I don't want that.

Im down to 103kgs from 107kg after eating better. I am 6’2. About to join a gym for the first time. What should my goal weight be

>Drink more water.
I'm not a dryfast tard, but is there actually a metabolic benefit to drinking more water or is it just preventing hunger pangs? I'm pretty big so doing the half my weight in oz math has me drinking over almost 5 liters a day. I already piss a bunch drinking 2ish liters a day. Do I just do it?

>cook your own food.

>>76724393
Drinking more water without adding more electrolytes isn't going to help, and it won't erase your hunger. It's the dumbest meme on /fit/.

Easy broth (5cal total):
>1-2 cups of water
>chicken bullion cube
>2tsp lite salt (potassium/sodium)
>freshly ground pepper
>spices of choice (red pepper flakes, cayenne, garlic powder, etc.)
>dash of MSG to appease /ck/

Drink that alongside a 2 cups of water, and you'll notice your metabolism jump and your hunger instantly disappear. For the grand cost of five fucking calories.

>>76723007
no, not really. i've lost more than that in the past 6 months and i'm not even overweight.

I will say that if what you're doing is braindead easy and you dont mind if it takes years to get to your goal weight, then it's fine to keep on your current trajectory as long as you don't stall. it call comes down to how long you can sustain this lifestyle and if you're okay with the current rate of weight loss.

the way out is through routine. get up and do the things that you don't want to do, or don't care to do. even if you don't care about the outcome, do them anyways. keep doing this for weeks or months on end and you'll change the way you live. suddenly your routine will become the new norm, and maybe you'll even find you enjoy it or that it suddenly gives you purpose to continue. good luck anon, i'm a lot like you, nothing motivates me. but i have a routine and I stick to it and it gives me meaning

So trying out making my own food. In general I think sticking to protein + white rice/whole grain pasta + beans is easy enough. But I was wondering if there was a website where you input the macros for a specific meal and it spits out a recipe that hits those goals.

Do I even worry about losing weight? I got chunk and don't like it but also my body is so athropied I can't do regular shit I used to.

Do I bother with food diet or do I just focus on getting my motor skills back

>>76724584
Carbs make you hungry, limit them if you're getting cravings.

Fasting for a day or two will typically make the cravings go away, if you then limit carbs (<50g a day) the cravings shouldn't return.

>>76724733
That's a little less than a pound a week. If you're doing a daily 500 calorie deficit and eat at maintenance on the weekend or something, those are pretty reasonable results.

>>76724765
do both. regaining movement is more important and should be your main focus. but do both.

>>76724765
you can do both
just take it slow and work yourself back up.

>>76724733
you're doing great. i lost weight faster (20kg in 4 months) and put 12 back on in that time. slow and steady wins the race.

>>76724774
I should do keto/low carb? Carbs might be the issue

Does your weight really affect how many calories you burn during aerobic exercise? I did 60 minutes on the treadmill, with 30 minutes of fast walking and another 30 minutes of jogging or slow running. The machine said I burned 160 calories. When I asked ChatGPT and included my weight (83.9 kg), it said I had burned 360 calories, which is more than double what the treadmill showed.

Also, here's a big tip for anyone trying to lose weight. Alternate between walking and running every 5 or 10 minutes. You can get results just as good as 30 minutes of straight running, if not better.

>>76724845
are u still fat

>>76724584
you are the ultimate master and decision maker of your body. No urge it throws at you can't be overcome, no matter how strong. Assert your authority and conquer your inner bitch. The best thing about beating your inner bitch is that each time you do it gets easier and easier. It'll never go away, of course, but you can turn that torrential hurricane of an urge into a tiny whimper with enough ass whoopings

>>76724803
I've been doing strict keto (<20 net carbs) for the past 3 weeks along with a 16:8 IF and the hunger literally disappears. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before

for my first ever cheat day i got a fucking big burrito. i didn't know my stomach shrank so much. im dying trying to finish this. i don't wanna waste it because i want to start another 3 day fast after this. im dying bros i never want to eat big portions ever again.

>>76724895
I started at 267, currently at 216, so yes.

>>76724908
just save the rest for after the 3 day fast

>>76724915
i don't want a 3 day old soggy burrito to get sick off of.

>>76724913
216 is hardly that fat unless you're sub 5'8. Congrats on the loss anon.

>>76724438
I do cook my own food you projecting retard. This was for that other guy, I rarely eat out anymore.

>>76724872
the more energy you expend, the more calories you lose
having a lot of fat is like wearing a natural weight vest, it makes it so you need to expend more energy during cardio
but as you lose weight you can also simply ramp up the intensity

>>76724872
Yes absolutely. Now it boils down to more than just weight. Someone that's 300lbs with a lot of muscle mass will burn far more than someone that's 300lbs of mostly fat. But it's a good starting point for an estimate. I'd recommend checking out a TDEE calculator (don't input your body fat% unless you know it) to see how many calories you burn at different activity levels at 300lbs vs 200lbs. You'll be shocked.

>Making really good progress water fasting 3 days a week, normally eating Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
>Haven’t had a cheat meal in a while so said fuck it, I’m in in the mood for it now so I’ll have it today, then next eat Thursday, then Saturday, then go back to normal
I shouldn’t feel bad considering I’m still eating the same amount of days, and a slightly higher calorie meal shouldn’t hurt me overall considering the deficit I’m in, but fuck bros I’m waiting for the food and all I feel is guilt.
It doesn’t help that I injured my back and haven’t gone to the gym for a week

>>76722831
I also have a relative pushing 70, morbidly obese. Shorter than me so he's below 6'0, last time I forced him to wright himself the scale said 400 something. My grandparents lived to mid 90s but ny dad died at 48 from a heart attack. I got myself checked by specialists and they all say I'm totally healthy. (Outside of being 25% bf)

Get on weight loss drugs. If you had the willpower to cut you would have had the willpower to never get fat in the first place :)

I've done it guys, I've actually done it.
I am, as of this morning, according to my scale and height, no longer an obese individual, with a BMI of 29.8. I've been obese since I was like 14 in high school.

Go to the gym. Pick up the weight that you have lost and carry it around for a minute or something.
Then keep going, don't slip back into complacency.

>>76725188
youre still fat

Started meal prepping last Monday, 1500 Cals/180g protein a day. I was 308.6 last Monday, currently 301.4. One day I only had ~720 calories because I was busy and couldn't stop to eat. The most exercise I've done in that time is a couple resistance band sets for arms, a bike ride, a little kettlebell stuff, and a max of 10k steps in a day, most days it was like 5k steps or less.

Hoping to lose 100 lbs in 6 months. I think it's possible, may even be able to get it done sooner.

why are carbs so demonic?

>>76725231
IMO it's because they're physiologically and mentally addictive, and they don't leave you full. It's the hedonic treadmill of food. If you proteinmaxx, your entire relationship with hunger changes.

thats pretty much the standard diet amount

Anyone just starting to exercise for the first time in their lives? I did 10 minute on elliptical, repeatedly this week. I wake up and my whole body aches so bad. I want to neck myself, but garner the strength to eat my morning omelet and postpone death another day...

nobody ITT has gone more than a week on 1200 calories without glps lmao
it's literally a torture diet, you will be hungry 24/7 and won't be able to sleep

>>76725986
Id do it, but not being able to shit on 1200 a day ruins it for me

>>76725989
that too

>>76725986
i switched from 900 to 700 a few days ago after losing 50 pounds

Im delusional. Been going to gym for past 12mths on a perma cut wondering why i was t getting bigger/stronger. Aint nobody getting swole on 1500cals

>>76725977
1200 is an extremely restrictive diet for anyone who isn't an old lady. It's something a person can do for short bursts when they are really motivated, or if the alternative is imminent death by fat, but it's not a sustainable long term diet and not necessary or optimal for almost anyone.

Why is the white haired one holding a stuffed bunny?

>>76725996
you can still gain considerable muscle on 1500 calories as long as you're pushing hard during the training, and getting a lot of protein.
also granted you're a newbie. if you've been lifting for years yeah you won't make progress.

>>76725231
Nothing wrong with them. You just don't use them properly. They are a powerful tool to make your body move hard and fast and do wondrous things such as build society and you use them to sit on your ass all day.

>>76726004
He could just be a manlet like me, I'm on 1300 a day which is a modest 500 cal daily deficit now that I'm close to my goal. I mean you're right, it fucking sucks ass, but it's not hungry skeleton mode if you're short.

I just like need to get a job so I can afford mounjaro and lose all the weight I want

>>76725308
Its only a 7000 calorie deficit a week anons. If you cut out 1000 calories a day for a week that's 2 lbs. If your tdee is 2500 then you only need a diet of 1500.
Perfectly doable. 1000 calories and below is where you really start to feel the strain of dieting.

Is losing 1kg a week viable?

>>76726098
its easily done, 2 is easy.. 3 would be tough.

>>76725922
Its the ol classic self sabotage. I also fell prey to it when I was 10lb away from gw. It's weird because consciously you want to make it, but (I think) subconsciously you probably feel like you don't deserve it or like its pushing you towards unfamiliar territory. Maybe it's like losing one less excuse for why ones life is shit and the mind secretly wants that copium to remain. I don't know. All I know is it became really difficult to stay the course at the end, and on a mental level rather than a physical one.
My solution for this is unironically stoicism. I'm back for round 2 and will tell people here more about it once I reach gw.

I did a month long water fast, I didn’t eat any calories at all

>>76726133

>>76726136
how much did that lose

>>76726143
Roughly a pound a day

>>76726136

Not sure why you think something as simple as a month long fast is in a region worth lying about

>>76726159
im not saying no one has done it, im saying YOU didnt do it

>>76726136
fasting is unironically easier than very low calorie diets. I just finished 5 days of 1000/c a day and it was harder than the multiple 3 day fasts I've done. Your hunger goes away during fasts, on vlcd it doesn't.

>>76726180
Yeah I got that, that’s why I said I’m not sure why you think it’s something worth lying about, it’s not that impressive. No way I can prove it anyway so no big deal.

>>76726192
I think it depends on the person, day 1 and 3 of a fast isn’t too bad but day 2 feels like death, I get what you mean though overall it isn’t as bad

>>76726201
That's exactly what I've found, second day is always hardest. I did a five day fast earlier this year, I started getting legitimate pains and headaches by the fifth day which was annoying, but nothing akin to actual hunger.

>>76726201
Oh, i have the opposite experience. Day 1-3 of a fast is the hardest for me, but after that it’s smooth sailing. Then again I’m struggling to lose weight because I use it to emotionally regulate. It isn’t the hunger cravings that are actually a hunger for me I’m trying to eat my feelings.

>>76725985
yeah will be bad for the first week or two, after that it's fine.

>>76726310
Yeah I swapped to alternate day fasting

By embracing the minor discomfort of being slightly hungry.

>>76725921
that is unironically a good thing. mentally you already accepted that your stomach doesn't want this large amount of food anymore and that's a good thing, anon!

Been a rough week guys. Hope you are all doing well though. You got this.

>>76725986
wrong

>>76722435
here comes the old cliche:
the best exercise to lose weight is the one you will do

it's not about bikes, jogging, dance or stairs

it's heart rate, activity, calories out

>>76727363
the best excercise is eating less
takes a lot more time and effort to burn 200kcal than it does to just not eat it in the first place
if you are excercising, you should be doing it to build/maintain muscle, any minor additional fat loss is just a bonus
