How the fuck do people struggle with losing weight?
How the fuck do people struggle with losing weight?
I'm autistic and eat pretty much exclusively the same junk I did when I was a kid. Naturally, I don't have the same metabolism I did back then and I'm afraid to try something new.
You have to want to lose weight more than you want the feeling of tasting delicious food/drinks constantly, feeling full, and having endorphins released from eating. I’d rather eat pancakes, bacon, cheesy eggs, toast with jam and hash browns for breakfast instead a protein shake and a banana but I want to get cut more.
They do meme small deficit diets which make them feel like shit and then fail.
Same reason why people can't quit smoking, it's an addiction.
They want the easy and/or quick fix that usually involves extreme diet modifications which are rarely kept for more than a few months. The key to SUSTAINABLE weight loss is to gradually make small changes instead of drastic ones.
It's because they do not take in account foods that have the nutrients and vitamins needed to survive. Most of the trendy diets is really just thinly veiled anorexia
Good quote i think of is "do i want to surrender to just a few seconds of mouth pleasure? Thats not diciplined. You're stronger than the want of simple seconds of mouth pleasure and hours of regret. How is that worth it?"
there's a balance though. if you're 200+ pounds a hard diet will get fast results and you'll stay motivated. you can go less hardcore after two to three months to enable continuing. but starting a diet and thinking: "this'll take a year while not building muscle" is a shitty feeling.
BECAUSE IT'S HARD NOT TO EAT YOU FAGOT
I was making a point about the small deficit lowering their metabolism and not doing shit for their insulin resistence.
If you've to 'not feel full' while cutting you're doing it wrong. It isn't about starvation or feeling deprived, it's about learning the difference between 'feeling pecky' and actual hunger. I know, I'm a fatass myself, but in 2 months of doing IF, eating healthy and responsibly I've gone down from 93kg to 80kg, I've still got a long way to go but goddamnit if a moron like me could do it, I'm sure you can too user.
how tall are you? 13 kg in two months sounds a tad unbelievable. that's a deficit of almost 2k calories per day.
Manlet, 5'7'' (170cm). I have absolutely no doubt a good part of that weight is water weight, I expect the actual fat loss to be something around 7-8kg.
What are you talking about? Are you implying that they should have huge defecits or none at all? What do you mean by "small"?
Big deficits and fasting. Faster results keep them motivated and it regulates their hormones.
Is anyone else just completely divorced from enjoying food anymore? I solely think of food in terms of calories, macros and micros. Zero urge to eat anything because it "tastes good".
You’re 100% correct but that other guy hasn’t no clue what you’re talking about and he’s about to say you’re wrong
Thats a big batch of oranges
It used to be easy for me, but at about 18% bodyfat and it just won't get lower.
How about this then. I am 190 cm and weighed 130 kg. I started eating healthy and working out at the end of february. So march april may june and now i have lost 30 kg. In 4 months.
Great picture, really helps with visuals. Mirrors in the kitchen really help. I am a hamgalaxy beast. I was born 12lbs and right into lots of abuse. Never had a healthy bmi and never really wanted much of life. Have always wanted to an hero and had several severe attempts and still struggle with my fucked brain. I have lost 67lbs since February from lurking Jow Forums. With keto and IF and only walking/swimming so far. Have hit a plateau and considering fasting a la snake man method. Really stoked about learning to lift and get into strength training. Have gathered a lot from the sticky and threads on here. Just hella anxious about going to local gym for that. I live in a gay mecca and it is full of beefy gays woo lad the testosterone in the air there is nuts. I kinda hope someone can show me the ropes a bit though, I am still such a sloppy noob.
btw any sources on gym etiquette? I have read the stories here on gymtards and my anxiety is killing me on the thought of being that guy.
I just want to be strong for once in my life. And sexy as possible, mold my lumpy ass to peachy thicc braphog status. My heft is mostly upper body so I know shits wrecked with excess skin but meh I will deal with it when it comes. My lower half is oddly average and latina so obnoxious ass and hips hidden by excess lard.
I mire gym thot types, and dream of wearing leggings. see through leggings with no undies. Sun dresses. Short skirts. It's silly but have never been sexually attractive (well except to fat fetishists) and just want that feel though I am a KHV. Sorry vent/long post.
Decades of shitty habits
I wish
Never been educated on food, every single family member obese, every single food choice since birth has been fast food, fast food is addictive. Is also really hard to find low caloric food that makes you feel satisfied when you are like 250 lbs and there's a lot of shilling everywhere about THE BEST WAY/FASTEST WAY to lose weight.
It is really not that simple, but overall it's all a matter of education and knowledge
they struggle with sticking to the diet and keeping up activity
most people are weak and lack any morsel of self discipline
>wants to cut more
>eats breakfast
>thinks IF is the answer to everything
>being a lost beta faggot looking for people to follow
>being retarded
if you train properly you need food in your stomach
if you are eating enough to grow can't skip hours of eating otherwise you end up force feeding stupid amounts at the end of the day
it literally only works if you are a skelly 130 - 150 lb
Pretty much.
Once in a while ill get an urge then think of what it is, break it all down and "nope" myself out of the urge.
I'm not as tempted as I used to be before. You start craving junk food and sweets less and less after a while. I never eat chocolates, sweets or ice cream at the office unless someone brings something I've never tried before.
If I have ice cream, it's only one spoon because I don't feel like using and cleaning a mug and I can't double dip so it forces me to have just one spoon.
I just love sweets... I don't do junk food, sodas at al.
Sweet stuff like slices cakes and biscuits with tea or coffee at 5-6pm
Food tastes good
Plus dont got much in life to are about so shorter life span isn't much of loss.
For some people it's that they're addicted to junk food but sometimes they honestly don't know anything about healthy eating. I've had conversations with people where they talk about their dietary habits and they really have no fucking understanding of food whatsoever.
Because food addiction is a real thing.
Just like other addictions, it can be a hard habit to quite.
I have more money than sense, and eat when I'm bored. Even now I'm thinking about dropping down to the bakery and eating a whole baguette. All I do is work, eat, jack off and sleep.
