what are your plans for calories, food, exercise etc
Cameron Sullivan
When trying to lose weight/build muscles. Is it better to prioritize eating less carbs or eating less fat? I find that reaching my daily limit of 58 grams of fat happens easily, but my intake of carbs daily is often around 60 grams, which is like a hundred grams less than what myfitnesspal recommends. Is this trend good for me, or should I change it?
I'm low carb (less than 50g a day, average about 30) because my body reacts to carbs like shit. I feel much better too.
fats are good for your hormones and stuff, its not inherently bad.
Kayden Williams
Omeod (one meal every other day) implies eating once every other day then being done.
48 hour fasting implies pigging out after 48 hours so i dont prefer that name.
I end every 48 hour cycle with a medium keto salad.
Nathaniel Thomas
I do body-weight exercise and walk my dog for now. I have a weight rack at my place, I use it for pull-ups but I can't even do one right now (my best was 17 in a row before I gained all this weight) I'm in ketosis, its always been successful for me. Overall I don't count calories, I just try to eat as little as possible and try to stay hungry. My main foods are cocoa powder, half and half, cheese, and garlic cloves.
Austin Rogers
Good to know. I assume that my metabolism isn't great as I ended up getting pretty fat despite not eating like a slob everyday. So with that in mind, I think eating less carbs everyday has a positive effect on my body.
Here's my MFP goals if you care >omg your calories are so low I am so impatient but i can dedicate to it easily and its not that difficult to get all that protein in, especially with my 36g protein per 40g powder.
most people should eat a low carb diet. even though is completely true, most obese people eat a lot of carbs with fast food and extremely processed junk, so going on a low carb diet will mostly help. if your just starting to lose weight from being obese, cut out at least 50-75% of your carbs, and make sure the carbs you do get are from low processed or whole foods like wheat bread. When bulking, Id say keep your macros around 50%protein/35%carbs/15%fat, and then adjust your macros after about a month if you need to.
drink more water, a lot of the time you're not hungry.
Elijah Morris
When cutting calories, you obviously lose fat. When that fat is burned, your body replaces those pockets with water. Eventually, you'll piss away that water weight. The time it takes for you to piss it off varies from just a couple of days, to a few weeks.
>use BMI calculator >recommended cal intake should be 2484-3194kcal >ive been eating under 1000kcal each day doing OMAD 2484-3194 seems like a fucking lot
Juan Ortiz
Been losing weight for the last 4-5 months and lost around 20kg already. I'm going at a pretty damn fast speed anf I think only straight up fasting would significally speed the loss up.
I already hit "normal weight" BMI this month and its a great milestone, but I want to cut until I have good definition and abs, which probably will take me at least 8-10kg more to lose.
Its just so demotivating knowing that you will have to wait so long
Adam Flores
It is It makes me wonder how did I chug all of those when I was fat
Ryan Reed
4-5kg per month is normal speed that's just like 1kg a week
Ryder Lewis
Coffee addict here, is Stevia good for you? I have the great value one
Easton Brooks
>coffee addict >stevia how does this even compute?
Caleb Thomas
I prefer my coffee black
I'd drink it more if it didn't absolutely blow out my guts every time
Hudson White
Its ok, I deserve this.
Brandon Jackson
Well I used agave before but I wanted a no cal alternative
Robert Murphy
>Get cravings for a milkshake >Crave fast food Fuck me bros I’m gaining weight instead of losing it.
My t3 just arrived in the mail. Combined with my EC stack I’m gonna make it this summer.
Joshua Stewart
That wasn’t me bitching btw, but I do happen to have about to months left to goal lol
Jacob Moore
I went with my fitness reality and it's pretty good, noice though on EC stack now. Honestly I never go over 2 doses and MAKE SURE you take week long breaks every once in a while. Shit works better after breaks.
Joseph Ortiz
>when you order a 9 piece of wings from buffalo wild wings but they give you 10
sorry for shitty picture quality. i had to turn up the brightness. I lost 103 lbs since 06/17 and now if i could do it all of you can. Still have about 30 to go
If not larping I saw one of your posts the other day. How could you even let yourself go like that?
Jason Long
My. Dude. Congratulations!
Austin Allen

Tyler Hernandez

Jeremiah Morris
I had some psychotic breaks, diagnosed as bipolar. First round of antipsycs was haloperidol, then they moved me to something with fewer side effects. I'm on lithium now. Plus I was depressed over my grandfather dying last summer. Not great excuses, but it is what it is. I went from 198 to 352 in less than a year.
Thomas Cook
If you really want a burger why mot make one yourself at home using healthier ingredients.
Samuel Hughes
>300 I was 300 a month ago and now im 282. Im not even close
Jason Parker
This. turkey mince, an egg, garlic powder, wrap it in lettuce with a slice of cheese and you're good to go
Hudson Price
You gotta fight it bro
I almost wavered and got a pizza, but was able to hold it down and cook some chicken breasts
You can win, nigga
Sebastian Roberts
most people in the /fat/ threads are crossposters from /fast/ which is a pretty good thing, tbqh. in my opinion, fat people should worry about getting down to 15% BF before they begin to worry about putting on muscle. exercise is still important, but when you're 250+ lbs, you shouldn't be worried about gaining muscle, and more worried about losing fat, because every day you're morbidly obese is just a gamble to whether your heart is gonna stop beating or not. thats why on shows like My 600 Pound Life, you'll see people like James and others die before they turn 30, and other people who are 700+ pounds and are 50 years or older. lose the fat before worrying about the muscle! you can gain muscle as long as you're alive, but won't be able to lose the fat if you died!
Thank you, I was stuck on 15 for a while but this week i started OMAD which helped.
Charles Cooper
thats what I heard, but I haven't watched that show in forever, or kept up on the saga of James, so I don't know for sure. Still, even if he specifically didn't die, theres always at least 1 episode per season where someone fails dieting, and ends up dying before 40 and then some people like that woman from Washington state who had been obese since her 20's that was around 50. its just a gamble at that weight
Logan Evans
I don’t like sugar otherwise kicked soda for two months so far
Wyatt Young
your panties are too small
Hunter Johnson
It is daunting to think I won't reach my goal weight until March of next year, according to the losertown website.
Why the fuck did I let myself get so fat? FUCK
Luis Williams
the fat in your sides seems to be shrinking. when I first lost a lot of fat, thats where I lost it at first, and when I put on fat, thats where it goes first after my gut
Isaiah Wright
but I can reach my GW by the end of the year if I do "strenuous activity." What does that mean? Like, 2-3 hours of cardio a day?
Just make sure you get enough protein. Also, if you start lifting now, your physique will be sooooo much better. Food for thought.
Weight loss isn't meant to be a race to the finish line. In fact, you'll soon realize there is no finish line.
Carter Ward
Then why do you need sweetener for a coffee?
Zachary Morgan
For it to taste good up to this point I’ve mostly been drinking it black (which tastes like shit)
Gavin Parker
Just stop drinking shit coffee
Cameron Price
I do lift lightly! 20 lb barbell and 10 lb dumbbells... haha... We all start somewhere, right?
The food is my biggest obstacle. Being fat, I've never had a good relationship with food. Now I'm worried about cals in/out and get only about 1,000 calories a day due to lack of appetite.
thanks for the motivation, love! :)
Blake Hall
how the fuck you're addicted to coffee but you don't like the taste?
