How is Almond/Coconut milk for drinks during the day and in my cereal? I'm trying to lose weight but I want muh minerals and everyone keeps saying cow milk is a bad move.
Jeremiah Nelson
Just ate around 10g of carbs from chocolate and feel like I've broken a sacred oath between me and God. I hate this keto shit because it makes me feel stressed all the fucking time.
Hey fatties, my fatass just finished a weeklong saltwater fast, and I'm blown away by how easy it was. And I could feel my abs through my gutfat much easier when I started eating again.
Problem is, I'm refeeding like an idiot. I let myself eat crappy, and now I can't stop eating crappy and can't keep things in a time restricted eating window.
I'm concerned, but at the same time, now that I know how easy it is to fast I know that I can skip a meal any time I want. I can skip days of meals if I want. I think I have to do it again.

Looking over my food logs from 2014 I was guessing too much with my calories. I was also doing IIFYM/CICO and was eating lots of bread and other sugar junk food every day so that didn't help. I eat more protein and fewer carbs now and I'm more serious about getting accurate with my calories so no more guessing and way more weighing food.
I've been gorging on the bad stuff this weekend, because I havn't had cash for two weeks.
Joshua Hill
I'm fucking it up.
And I think I need to get some more fiber or I'm in for some trouble.
Justin Hughes
Just 20 more lbs to go fellas (lost 90 lbs already). I think this last 20 might be the hardest though. There’s nothing I love in the summer more than sitting on my porch, reading and having a few beers in the evening. Gotta limit it to once a week though.
Yay. If your other option is eating ice cream, it's a great substitute. Remember, it still has calories, so log them.
Carson Russell
Maybe he meant per plate? That still looks big tho for rice.
Alexander Miller
Looks like he’s obese and running over a 1k deficit. That’ll do it.
Sebastian Morris
Yay. It's a reasonable fallback for sweets cravings.
>Tastes like shit As somewhat of a Halo aficionado I 100% agree for about 1/3 of the flavors. The froot loop flavored one made me sick trying to eat it and I only had like half the carton. The simpler ones like vanilla and chocolate almond tend to be the best.
Jaxon Jones
I-I'm obese and running over a 1k deficit, although it took me 4 months to lose 60lb
Mint is the best flavour imo

is this the restaurant from Dumb and Dumber?

Went 1-2 at last night's FNM draft, got all tilted and ate a bunch of Steak n Shake.
Jordan Morgan
skimmed milk is fine, its not that calorie dense, just dont go overboard. For drinks just stick with water/tea/coffee if you're really worried nay dont do this shit it just dehydrates you also read the sticky never try to guesstimate anything, eat as healthy as you can while at a defecit and the results will follow absolutely not, not only will you get sick of it after 3 fucking days you'll miss a fuckton of nutrients. Eat healthy and varied while keeping your intake at a defecit.
Is low carb a meme? Are low calorie carb based diets viable for people with metabolic syndrome?

Reminder that one day I will be underweight.

Same. I'm attracted to other fatties but being fat myself makes me want to kms. One day I will be a twig and make homo love with a man as fat as I once was and it will be the most disgusting thing that ever happened :D

If you guys are going out to eat or have some sort of engagement how many calories do you leave open? I’ve been leaving ~1200. Probably enough to be safe with Chinese food (as long as I do lemograss over general tso), less so with Italian.
Colton Richardson
quitting smoking is way easier than losing a ton of weight
Ian Gonzalez
Low calorie diets of any composition are viable for anyone with enough willpower, but the more carb based your diet is, the more willpower you'll need. Doubly so if you have metabolic syndrome. If you're gunning for a high carb low calorie diet and you have metabolic syndrome, and high carb is non negotiable for you, then you better make it REALLY low calorie. Even if starvation mode is real for you, there's only so much your metabolism can shut down, especially if you're fat. For example, you WILL lose weight on, oh, say 800 calories a day. No ifs ands or buts, I don't care HOW sick you are from being fat, and if your results say otherwise and you're absolutely sure they're right, then for further weight loss advice I suggest you consult the necromancer who reanimated you.
Cameron Watson
I went to Costco and bought Pita Chips and humus. Now I can't stop engorging in food. Is my cut doomed?
Jordan White
Green tea mochi was my favorite, but I'm pretty sure they stopped making it.
>Is low carb a meme? Absolutely not. I have lost more weight haphazardly cutting carbs in favor of fibrous veggies and healthy fats than I ever did counting calories.
Bentley Reed
Went to a friend's birthday party last night, lots of snacks and beers abound everywhere. Just stuck to Jameson and stayed keto. Drank like half the bottle but no breaky bois here.
Jackson Wilson
Allright, fat, I just watched a bunch of snakeman's videos and a lot of what he says makes sense. Should I do it? Are there any of you who lost extreme amount of weight doing that diet? Are there any of you who had negative experiences with it? Can someone explain to me why this is a meme, if that is the case?
Michael Smith
Sorry, was off for a while until now. I do OMAD and Keto, and just did my first 44 hour fast. I'm eating like 1200 under and not really working out. Drink 2L of water a day and I'm doing EC stack
Adrian Williams
post more fat american spurdo memes pls, they fuckin kill me
>tfw almost a week into Snake Juice waterfast >tfw aiming for 30 days, but might as well push for 40 since I've seen dumb valley girls do it >tfw will do GSLP & Keto Diet on IF for 2 months before the summer ends >tfw I will achieve my goal of going from 240 to 175-180 in such a short time period >tfw this will be the time where I seriously get into nutrition, as water-fast will have cleared my sugar addiction Fuck Bros, we're all going to make it. Anyone else feeling really ready to make some positive changes? I now I'm not even a quarter to my goal waterfast, but I'm feeling great these days.
Do you mean snakediet/snakejuice guy? I'm a week into his program am and loving it, I just feel so much better even though I'm somewhat weaker, it's hard to explain. I've already lost 20 pounds, and I'm honestly aiming for 60 pounds.
Water fast, lose the weight and quit smoking at the same time. I've seen a few stories reporting that fasting even for just 4-5 days made quitting cold turkey easier, even if it was still a little shitty.
>moving >wanted to get somewhat ready to lift shit to get done faster >did nothing but play guitar and eat extra stuff I only did my workouts maybe once. Sunday's the start of a new week. Hopefully I can actually get off my ass this time.
Blake Richardson
Hopefully won't cut it. You need to commit to specific times and plan your days accordingly.
Austin Wood
I know. Fuck. I was doing so good getting a routine going. I need to ban candy from this fucking house.
Juan Barnes
could you please not exist thanks
Adrian Myers
Was the routine itself the problem or did you just stop following it for other reasons? Participating in group exercise has been the best way of getting myself through the door; have you considered something like that?
>I need to ban candy from this fucking house. That's another good idea. What's your fallback for dealing with cravings? Halo Top? High cacao dark chocolate?
Asher Lee

>ate at the recommended amount from my fitness pal >”in 5 weeks you will lose 5 lbs lmao” Fuck fuck fuck Guess I need to excercise too? Cardio maybe? Or if I’m losing weight should I not try to start Stronglifts or whatever?
Jason Hill
>start diet a month ago >lose 20pounds >been at 280 for a week >diet hasn't changed >walking around more >still at 280 god damn it I'm eating under 1000kcal a day except for saturdays which hit around 1500 and nothing is changing
Alexander Flores
Bro, just customize your goals to be smaller. That's what I did. I remember telling the app I wanted to lose 2lbs a week, since that's the max, and it recommended I eat like 1800 calories a day. I thought that was too low and I set it to 1500 max.
>compulsively bought small container of popcorn chicken from wal-mart while picking up veggies >whopping 340 calories >still have 600 calories left to go for the day >feel like a fatfuck anyway
Shit, 1500 per day seems like its gonna be hard, and that’s where I’m at for the “Lose 2 lbs a week”, and I’m gonna be in NYC, the fucking food mecca of the world, for a summer. Guess I should cook a lot. Shit’s gonna be so much easier when I’m back to my college and every eating out place has listed calories.
Nolan Parker
A single serving of popcorn chicken is like 30 grams of fat isn't it?
Post meals for inspiration, please. My fat ass has been feeling hungry all day and I was at 1.8k today It admittedly was day 1 so maybe my body isnt used to it. I’m really fucking worried. I know I should start now but it seems like going somewhere new and trying to start this is shooting myself in the foot. Bonding with co-workers will probably happen over sitting down at a restaurant or worse, drinking (which at the least I know to stick to vodka/tequila). I’ll only have a communal kitchen that’s 7 floors down from where I’ll live, communal fridge so my shit will get jacked too. Very discouraged. Thinking about just trying to have OMAD as the “go out with friends” type of meal, but worried such a sudden change will effect my work performance and I’m fucking starting a high-stress industrial research job. Fuck. I know most of these are excuses but there’s a fucking kernel of truth somewhere here.
Aaron Evans
Cico is the only thing that's worked for me. No complete denial of things. I just count protein and fill the rest with stuff that's not complete garbage (common sense stuff, fried foods, sweets, cakes, ice cream. Basically I think sugar is really bad.) You'll be counting calories all the time but it gets easier. I can basically ballpark a sandwich from a store at this point. Also I do cook a lot of my own meals and meal prep. But upside is I eat what I want. Beef stew, chicken parmesan, pulled pork sliders, mashed potatoes, pasta, pretty much whatever. I just know how many calories my meal is and usually do two 600 calorie meals everyday with about 50 grams protein per meal. Then about 400 extra calories of whatever, usually try to get some more protein in that too.
Tyler Moore
OMAD is good, it's what I do now but before that I would have a coffee w/no sugar and a fiber one 90cal bar or a yogurt. Lunch yogurt w/grapefruit or a light sandwich depending on how I felt (no mayo). For dinner I would make broccoli. carrots, beets with chicken or beef stirfry. Black pepper, fresh garlic, no salt and light butter or oil, just enough to get it cooking. Onions sauce or siracha for more flavor. Watch the sodium though.
Owen King
Plateaus are a natural part of weight loss, just like any other fitness goal. Shore up any problem areas and maybe change up your exercise regimen.
Caleb Kelly
What causes a plateau? When you are clearly under TDEE and not even taking into account fitness how can you possibly be cico'ing at maintenance?
Anthony Phillips
>When you are clearly under TDEE and not even taking into account fitness how can you possibly be cico'ing at maintenance? CICO is a meme. Your metabolism is slowing and your body is adjusting to the specific exercises in your workout routine to complete them with lower calorie expenditure. Reduce carbs, especially simple ones, and change your workout routine, especially any cardio or HIIT, and you should start losing again. That's the best advice I can give you.
Gabriel Perez
>just stress ate a half pineapple Not gonna make it am I Fuck
Composure regained from earlier. I’m at maybe 200 lbs maybe more? I’ve been avoiding scales because I’m a pussy. But I want to be at 180 at worst, 170 at best by the end of the summer (gonna define that as this time in August). Is this doable? TDEE according to one of the OP links is 2300. From others, I know I should shoot for 1500 cal with 1800 as close to my upper limit. How will doing at bare minimum 5 mile walks a day affect this, if it all? Biggest problem for me is only having limited cooking supplies, space, and living in fucking NYC which if it hasn’t changed horribly since youth has godlike street food fucking every other block not including fucking Chinatown which is something I will never experience in my flyover state god fucking dammit I just want fucking dim sum. Motivation is my fucking mother called me a “pussy little bitch” for looking at calorie options at a fucking pita pit so now I’m gonna be the first individual in my family to not be overweight or obese as revenge.
>tfw I did the same thing we need to stay strong user
Austin Wood
Real question. Since I'm already really overweight and not that muscular, would it be worth it to just not eat and workout? Or at least eat just a tiny amount? I've gotten to where I only eat one meal a day already
Blake Cox
There are worse things you coulda binged on
Do better tomorrow
Ethan Ross
How do people still fall for the cheat day meme? It literally ups your chances of failing the diet by at least 50%
Should I take Creatine while trying to cut and lose weight. I've managed to lose roughly 35lb this year down from 220 from just cutting calories and regular cardio
Oliver Turner
day 4 of training 1h+/day on 1000 cals from protein only and the thoughts of ending up skinnyfat are plaguing my mind. please hold me /fat/ and tell me everything will be alright
