Lifting 3x a week is not enough to bump your lifestyle up to active. Even if you went everyday, I wouldn't consider it not sedentary, considering how much of the time you actually ARE in the gym and not repping.
Jeremiah Roberts
Calculations are always on sedentary. That's the base. You can always improve upon that. It's good to have a foundation to be the base point.
Brody Stewart
I wouldnt move my lifestyle away from sedentary unless my 8 hour a day job involved physical labor or something.
Ryder Roberts
CICO is a fucking meme bros, jesus christ Im fasting 23 hours per day and then eating like a pig and gaining muscle and dropping fat like a sonofabitch for fuck sake. Yes at the same time, the sticky is wrong bunch of fags. Im eating way more calories on a weekly basis than fucking before and dropping more weight goddamit im getting ripped. Jesus...
Xavier Cruz
I highly doubt you're eating more than maintenance every day in one sitting, let alone losing weight too
Cooper Flores
I just peed fivr times in the past two hours, haven’t lost much weight in the past week even though I’ve been staying under 1500c and doing lots of cardio. I feel another pee coming on right now!
Is this the woosh effect? Will I wake up as a lanklet?
you are fuckin your metabolism fattie. Just fast and stop being a bitch
Hudson Hernandez
Meaning you're getting fatter?
Charles Flores
>1500c have you tried going lower? Im currently on sub 700.
Oliver Collins
I need to go cycling and hit the gym, but I dont wanna do shit tomorrow except sleep until my closing shit. P.S.: just had two huge tacos and 2 beers cuz cinqo de mayo
Lincoln Richardson
>dude just don’t eat lmao No, I’ve lost thirty pounds since March doing it my way. I don’t need the broken mentality of a teenage girl to lose weight
Matthew Ross
fuck you, you know what i mean. Luckily my belt is a ratcheting gun belt so all i have to do is cut it shorter.
I just started cutting again and holy shit does it make me feel like crap. No libido, tired all the time, personality disappears and everything in life seems bleak.
Oh shit I'm doing my first set to You Say Run, thanks user
Connor King
Is Keto IF a total meme? I've been on calories in calories out and i've gone from 280 to almost 235 in the past 5 months. >Eating at 1700-1900 a day while I work a fairly active job + weight training 3 times a week.
Just want to become a shredded cunt and work my ass off doing it.
This is the right mentality to have. People in /fat/ who’ve actually made changes haven’t done it by water fasting, but CICO because it’s sustainable long term. The only fasts you should be doing are after the inevitable slip-ups you have where you eat 3000cals in a day. There’s a reason /fast/ doesn’t have progress pics.
Jason Rodriguez
I did a few 36 hour fasts to curb my hunger. I think it worked pretty well but I wouldn't do it longer than 48 hours personally.
Jaxson Walker
I agree with this. I did a few fasts and I lost weight but I didnt feel good at all and couldnt lift weights cause I felt shitty all day.
Colton Rivera
>ratcheting gun belt >being so fat you have to use ratchet straps to cinch your fucking pants to your stomach
post your setup/gear, im interesting in buying my own this summer
Ethan Diaz
Fuck, I just read the OP for /fast/ and it spooped me bad. Please tell me it's all broscience, I can barely hang on @1200 kcal a day, I'm most terrified of permanently fucking up my metabolism. The only thing getting me through this is thinking about when I can eat 2100 kcal a day
Justin Hill
Hi Jow Forums I'm a new day that started trying to lose weight this past week. I use to go on r9k, but had to stop after the second wave of diaper-posting. So I figured I'd take refuge here. Also, I recently started going on Tinder, but have gotten shit for matches. So instead of becoming an incel, I figured it was time to lose weight and make some muscles for once. I've already made positive decisions to put my life on track. I began nofap and mewing. Cut soda completely out of my diet drink mostly water. I've lessened my caloric intake to around a thousand or so a day. And do basic leg exercises and curls with some light weights. It's not much and I won't see result does a while. But it's a start nonetheless.
Kayden Carter
It's mostly broscience. Your metabolism won't be permanently fucked but will be temporarily lowered when on a normal CICO diet. They also like to claim autophagy will make you have no loose skin, but no studies have linked autophagy to consuming loose skin and the studies about autophagy shows that it is really, really slow.
Matthew Price
Any idea how long before metabolism DOES lower? I was doing a pretty hard deficit (by chance mostly, was overworked and didn't even have a chance to eat much) and went from 182 lbs in my boxers to 163 in my boxers in 42 days. Then after a week, my weight actually went up to 167 post dump and I was too low on energy to even get through my sets so I decided to try the refeed meme for a weekend but only managed to avg ~1800 calories for three days instead of my usual 1200 or less. Back on the deficit wagon but I'm still not seeing any progress and I'm concerned my metabolism tanked but 2 months doesn't seem long enough to do that, at least to me. I just really don't want to fast, sorry for rambling.
Levi Campbell
You can take or leave all the pseudo science stuff about autophagy and muscle sparing, but fasting has been a good experience for me. I take whatever I find works from fasting, CICO, keto etc. and mix it in a way that feels good and sustainable. When 1600 calories over three meals started making me feel like shit all day, OMAD saved me from giving up. I now practice that most days, and do a 48-72 hour fast maybe once every two weeks. OMAD is definitely something I will do long-term, but the slightly longer fasts are super boring, so I’m just using them to break stalls.
You don’t have to follw one specific weight-loss regime down to the letter, you can use whatever works for you.
Levi Thomas
>I began nofap and mewing Memes. Only bother with nofap if you have an addiction. >I've lessened my caloric intake to around a thousand or so a day Unless you're rather strong willed, and the fact that you took on nofap makes me think otherwise, this isn't sustainable. For best long term results cut down 500 from your maintenance. This builds good habits. If you want to kill it fast try more like 1500.
I once had like a 6 month streak then one day my family and I spent the whole day at Disneyland so I logged my shit on the phone app. The next day I log my breakfast in on the computer and see that I'm back to day 1. The phone app logged my food the day before but didn't count towards my streak so it fucked my perfect streak up.
I would honestly have killed myself by then. Good job user
Anthony Miller
I hope you fatasses took a before and after photo. I’ll be posting mine in a few months if I do make it there bros
Easton Smith
I really wish I did, now this is the fattest hi-res photo that exists of me. Will be sure to make more detailed records, I'll take the next photo on 5/23
I want to fast for as long as possible. Is it relatively safe to do it by yourself? Taking vitamins, green tea and black coffee, of course. Maybe apple cider vinegar, and if things are dire, meal replacement powder? Starting at like 35 st and just trying to lose as much as possible? I have an engagement party in August and my birthday, so I don't want to be the only fat fuck there and do it as a gift to myself.
Ethan Gray
What app?
Andrew Richardson
Hey there /fat/ I been dieting, basically eating healthier and cutting all junk food. Everyone was telling me i needed to eat better and slim down, now 6kilos lighter everyone is telling me i need to gain weight again. My family is confusing me and they keep buying me shit food that i dont want, can't wait to move out next year
I've been losing weight for 3 weeks, casually eating less than usual and cardio. The weightloss motivated me to be more vigilant with food so my diet has only gotten more strict. How come I've been gaining weight past two days while I'm much more strict than before?
Michael Price
Don't look at the progress over days. That's too small of a time frame. Look at weeks or even months. I can stuff myself with chocolate or the equivalent amount of veggies. With the veggies I gained weight short term because you need much more mass to get the same calories. Also you may have eaten more salt which retains water. Don't get discouraged by such short-term weight gains. If you adhere to your diet (measuring and all) you're doing fine.
Luis Bailey
I'm a 5'11 225 pound guy with a gut that I want to lose and arms that I want to beef up. What's the most efficient way of going about this?
35st = 222 kg? Am I reading this right? You need something more long term. Fasting to lose that weight is prone to failure.
Luke Miller
Myfitness tells me I'm 1000 mg+ in the green daily with sodium. I dont enjoy salty foods very much. I weight daily to calculate a weekly average. Today & yesterday were the first days since I started that weight has gone up.
Justin Thomas
Honestly buddy, you're better off actually working on your diet and going for a nice long-term caloric deficit that you'll keep up. You might not be where you want to be at during the parties, but you'll have lost a ton of weight and more importantly, you'll be able to keep it off.
Adam Rogers
We seriously need legal borthels. It will take care of you hopeless incels and the porn problem.
Joshua Baker
i feel you bro >23.8 bmi >all my relatives mocking me with how much i eat and how i’ve been gaining weight rapidly >drop down to 21 bmi >all my relatives talking about how skinny i am and how i’m starving myself >actively try to make me eat junk food now
I know that feel bro, just yell at them and tell them to shut the fuck up, worked for me
John Campbell
I can relate. I've had to punch about 10 new holes in my belt since I started. It now wraps around me almost 1.5 times. It's another way I'm tracking my progress. Once I reach mh goal physique, I'll buy a new belt. But I'll hang my old one on my bedroom wall as a reminder of where I started, and the struggle I went through to better myself.
Me too, boi. Took my time and literally got everything for free lol. I have over a grand worth of equipment and I paid $0 for it.
Aiden Roberts
Well bros just hit the 40 lbs lost mark, started at 280 lbs now hit 239 today. >We're all gonna make it >Still got 60 lbs I want to cut down
Not having the good foods is made up by the fact that I don't hate myself quite as much as I did at 280. It's not cured but it's a little better. >JUST GOTTA GET A LIL MO BETTER each week I weigh in.
That doesn't last long. Especially if you're eating healthy.
Aiden Phillips
Today is day 410. Hasn't been smooth sailing the whole way, but I'm getting somewhere. Could have lost a lot more by now, but I had a months long relapse between Thanksgiving and St. Patty's day. Back on the wagon though. I hit a new all time low with this morning's weigh in. Feels good. Keeping that streak going is a big part of what keeps me motivated.
Depends on the person. IF is a good thing for everyone, but keto can be tailored. Keto generally recommends 20-30g's of carbs a day, but for me that makes me lethargic. I found 40-50g's a day is my sweet spot.
Dylan Barnes
Metabolism can only slow by 8%.
Henry Wood
it's my birthday tomorrow! luckily i don't have any friends and my family is out of town, so i'm at no risk for cheating! yep, this is great! i'll be able to stick to my diet more easily without all these hordes of fellow human beings trying to make me have cake and stuff! good job, me! gonna make it!
I'm tired of seeing this metabolism bullshit in here now, wtf? It's just wrong
I've ate 1300 a day for 5 months and lost 40 pounds and worked out the whole time as well. Your metabolism does not slow down
Justin Carter
Cut calories until 12%bf while also lifting. Slowly up calories until you're in a net positive of 500 calories while still lifting. Eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight and you'll be golden pony boy.
Isaac Russell
It does slow down if you don't exercise, however it's something like 10-20% loss, not really enough to destroy weight loss. All negated if you exercise regularly though
Angel Jenkins
It's broscience don't listen the these retards who don't know what they're talking about. I did 1200 a day for months and had great results, take a multivitamin and eat a lot of protein
Asher Phillips
Different user here.
Let's say you don't exercise while cutting hard, and get that 10-20% metabolism drop. If you start exercising, will that make your metabolism return to normal?
Nathan Gutierrez
You're doing something terribly wrong. Taking away 500 calories a day shouldn't be doing all that. Unless you're a big fat fatty and eat like absolute garbage all the time, then you have bigger problems to deal with.
Grayson Anderson
Solid progress. Keep it up, bro.
Juan Johnson
It should, your body is very good at adapting. After months of no exercise and at a deficit, it lowers your metabolism to compensate. It will take a while for your body to raise it's metabolism from the added energy expenditure of exercise.
Camden Sullivan
Nice try goblina. My 500kcal ~50g protein morning shake is super satiating. I'll feel full until dinner time.
Jaxson Sullivan
I've made a lot of progress with my weightloss. I stay pretty strict with my calories. I aim for 1200-1500, never going above 1700. But, for a while now I've been having a cheat meal every saturday. Usually pizza and wings with a pretty big desert. I know it has to end up being upwards of 5000+ calories. I know I shouldn't be doing this, and I always feel like complete shit afterwards, and the next day. It has to be slowing my progress, but I can't tell. One week I'll weigh in and I'll be up 10lbs, the next week I'm down 15lbs. It ends up being a downward trend, just with massive fluctuations sometimes (I weigh in once a week). I find myself coming up with ways to justify this gluttonous cheat meal like: >"it's muh refeed, gotta keep that metabolism up" >"If I have a controlled and planned binge once a week, it'll stop me from compulsively binging throughout the week." >"I haven't shit in a while, this atomic food bomb oughta clean my colon out" >"This binge will make me feel so shitty, it'll make me realize that I don't even like eating like shit"
And the list goes on.
I feel like it's alright, and healthy to let myself indulge on occasion, but it always turns into a binge. I don't stop eating until everything has gone. I have been slowly decreasing the amount of food I eat during the binge, but it still disgusts me. I need help.
David Smith
>>"it's muh refeed, gotta keep that metabolism up" Refeed doesn't mean lose control. >>"If I have a controlled and planned binge once a week, it'll stop me from compulsively binging throughout the week." >~5000kcal >controlled and planned >>"I haven't shit in a while, this atomic food bomb oughta clean my colon out" dude no >>"This binge will make me feel so shitty, it'll make me realize that I don't even like eating like shit" dude
Lucas Sanchez
Try upping your daily intake, 1200-1500 is pretty low for a man.
Grayson Johnson
I know. My rational mind realizes how disgusting and absurd this is. This is /fph/ tier mental gymnastics. I hate people that rationalize their disgusting choices like this, but I just lose control. I am no longer thinking rationally at that point. The next morning when I wake up in the midst of empty takeaway containers, bbq sauce smeared all over the place, I seriously consider killing myself. I know how bad it is, and I own up to it. It's my fault. I just don't know how to stop.
Sometimes I go a month or two without doing this, but lately it's been once a week because I started doing small cheat meals in hopes it would stop the binges. Instead, the small cheat meals turned into the binges.
Josiah Sanders
Cut out any kind of 'cheat' anything. You'll stop craving them after a while.
Cooper Gonzalez
Back from my run, why is it always so damn hard to get yourself out there? Beautiful weather and it feels so good afterwards, but I make so many excuses to not to go.
C25K W2D2, had to start from the beginning again after I didn't move my ass for 3 weeks. Does /fat/ run?
