Is food addiction a thing? Or maybe certain types of food? I can go to the gym with no issues, be an active person, enjoy exercising and all that. Ive tried simple CICO ive tried fasting and keto, i can do it for a few weeks and eventually cave to sugars and processed garbage I was given my whole childhood. I had an easier time quitting nicotine from chew in college than avoiding shitty food. Been thinking about starting nicotine again every time i get a food craving.

WHY THE FUCK ARE MY SHITS STILL LIQUID I'M EATING A BLOW OF ALL BRAN FOR BREAKFAST WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK AM I GOING TO DIE?
I bought them for lunch and only had a couple ounces. Then I was driving home for 1.5 hours and needed something to keep me awake, which was eating them. I threw the rest out when I got home so I wouldn't be tempted
Kevin Watson
You bought a half a kilo bag of almonds for lunch?
James Wilson
Just buy a coffee wetf
Jaxson Mitchell
> Been dieting for a month > Afraid to step on a scale I said I'd do it 4 weeks into the diet but I think I'll just pospone it to next month. I just don't want to realize how fucking fat I truly am.
Daniel Evans
It was a 25oz bag. I bought them while on my lunch break along with the yogurt, since I forgot to bring anything. I was going to spread them out but that ended up not happening I don't like coffee
Christian Kelly
never understood this. even at my fattest I'd weigh myself.
only a weak minded little bitch would be afraid of it. it's literally a woman tier behavior. do you have gyno bro?
Jackson Scott
Don't do it bro, focus on how you look and feel rather than a number
If you go weigh yourself, you weight will be distorted because: -muscle gains -waterwieght -bloating -shit that is still in your stomach
Only weigh yourself if you do it consistently on the same time every day/week, otherwise the number is meaningless
I say you should weight yourself regularly AND keep doing so when you reach your preferred weight. How regular you want to be varies from people to people and you'll have to figure out what works best for you. I myself log a daily weight first thing in the morning after going to the toilet, but of course a shorter time between measurements leads to some noise () that you need to learn to ignore. After I'm where I want to be weight-wise I'll probably switch to measuring once a week or something.
IMO measuring your weight is the only way you'll be able to actually have control over it. Lost weight? Good, keep doing what you were already doing. Stalled or gained weight? Rethink your weight loss strategy. It's a cycle of measuring and adjusting based on the measurements.
Years ago I sorta imposed within myself that soda and ice cream are absolute poison. I've never eaten any since nor do I ever feel the carvings to eat ice cream or drink soda/juice. I can literally starve and you can be eating the best chocolate ice cream in front of me and I won't even flinch.
Now, how do I extend this pseudo self hipnosis to other foods as well? I generally maintain myself quite healthy but sometimes I have these insane peanut butter carvings. Yesterday alone I ate 320 grams of peanut butter. It's insane.
Juan Diaz
Nobody is going to laugh or tease you though? It's just you by yourself. Don't beat yourself up so hard and help yourself out.
Ayden Sullivan
Impulsively bought a bag mint chocolate brownies. Think I can kiss any losses this week goodbye.
>weighting yourself every day Stop driving yourself insane, better do it once a week
Kayden Perez
How many miles would a NEET manlet have to walk to into "Lightly Active"? I'm done fucking starving myself to cut.
Anthony Watson
>I'm done fucking starving myself to cut. It's 90% diet/10% exercise. Suck it up, buttercup
Grayson Hughes
What sort of obscure imperial measurement is a BLOW?
Dylan Collins
Meh. Not him, but weighing yourself every morning can be a pretty rewarding thing. Just don't freak out if you weigh a little more on one day. Believe in your dieet. I went from 96kg to 87 now. Last few days it went a bit slow, but that's perfect for me. Don't wanna lose weight too fast.
Parker Peterson
Eat some fruit, drink less coffee, don't drink milk (you might be lactose intolerant). See a doctor.
Jason King
It's the mass of dick a normal girl can deepthroat.
Literally just bought a bag but I got the wasabi onions for dem sodium gainz
Ryan Murphy
You can’t see progress if you don’t know where you are today. Step on that scale first thing in the morning after a piss, then write it down. You’re as fat as you are anyway. That is a reality and you’re only ignoring it
Luis Wright
It will. Obviously. Eat a few boiled eggs or drink a shake before sleep man. No use in starfing yourself.
Josiah Wilson
Yeah my goal is 80 as well and work up from there. Nice to see like-minded people on here. Reckon i need two more months.
Jose Moore
weight loss tends to appear in waves for me every 4-6 days it'll just happen as long as i stick to a 500kcal deficit
I went from 210 to 165 lbs from January to June by just doing 16:8 IF and going to the gym just once a week. Didn't really count calories, just had a rough estimate of how much I ate.
Since then I've remained the same weight as I've fallen off but I'm not dumb enough to gain weight again. Through rough calculations, I think I'll be nice and lean around 140lbs give or take 5 lbs (I'm 5'10).
I want to get fit to join the Army in summer 2019. I've hopped back on IF and have done 16:8 all this week. Joined the gym and will hopefully go x3 a week and I will run almost every other day to get my 1.5 miles to under 9:30 mins.
>supposed to be spending $6.80/day on food >spent probably over $20 yesterday >still under calorie goal but fucking hell >food budget for the month has been reduced to $5.75/day due to this incident >my fat ass is upset due to this meaning less food >wat do
Drink a small glass of kefir each day. Not the flavored stuff with sugar added. You'll be having healthy shits in a week.
Charles Williams
nothing yet because i spent fucking $20 but today cottage cheese probably cheap, has protein, narrowly sufficient calories to not make me want to binge (not that it would matter if i did since given current budget i'd have to make it up later so it would be fine)
$6/day is definitely enough, i read it online so it must be true and i mean anything is enough for a fat fuck anyway i could safely be fasting if i had the willpower
Caleb Martinez
Not a bad goal. Guess i'll start counting not just in kcals but cash too.
Bought two sugar-free energie drinks, is about 1,50 dollars. Some meat, 2,60., unsalted peanuts,80 cent (only eat a handfull per day), 400gram of surimi sticks (usually do two days with this) 1,60. Guess i did alright for today. Still have sweet potatoes and vegetables, so i'm all set for today. Little over budget by your standards, but i just can't cut without this stuff.
Carter Rodriguez
Don't feel like cooking today, I'll probably order some pizza at around 5 or 6 and just do omad. Even if I eat half a pizza I'd still be at around 1.2k kcals which is my daily goal with 2 meals
Aaron Diaz
I lost a lot of weight but stalled the last four months just ten pounds from my goal weight. Normies ask why I'm still trying to lose weight and telling me that I'm going to develop anorexia. But my cheeks are still fat and I'm still slightly overweight according to BMI. Fucking normies. Now weight is very slowly creeping back up and I've regained two or four pounds.
I don't have the willpower to fast anymore. The weight loss didn't help at all with getting the girl I like and she was my motivation. No other women like me either. Why shouldn't I just eat whatever I want and get fat again?
Dominic Brooks
> Lost weight just to get a thot to notice you You were never gonna make it.
Ian King
main reason i was counting in cash was because i pre-spent my whole monthly budget except what i would need for food so i wouldn't be able to overspend and therefore wouldn't be able to overeat. because that's how little self control i have. so wasn't really a goal per se, more of an artificial construction of self restraint
damn though you eat real cheap, i could learn a thing or two from you
Camden Campbell
the int; one should be something like void *p; p = malloc(sizeof(int)); memset (p, 0, sizeof(int)); int i = (int)*p;

>yesterday at work, sitting on my break >girl in another department I haven’t seen in a few weeks walks up to me >”You look different! I don’t know what it is. Did you do something new with your hair? Or like maybe you had a beard and shaved it? I don’t know” Am I making it, /fat/? I think it’s because my face is finally losing fat
kek >how many different roundabout ways can we find to declare an int and set it equal to 0
Jonathan Ramirez
>he fell for the fasting meme it''s not sustainable unless you have nerves of steel, cutting calories and changing your eating habits is the surefire way
Should be easy enough. Today was a pretty average day for me and I ate >breakfast: Overnight oats (40g oats, 100g fat-free yogurt and 2tbsp ground flaxseed. Oats are 0.80€/kg, yogurt is 1.55€/kg and flaxseed is somewhere between 3 and 4 €/kg so that shouldn't come to more than 30€snt) >lunch: Three eggs and two small apples (eggs were 1.39€/10 and the apples just under 1€/kg so I'd say it comes to like 60€snt) >dinner: 500g of quark, a small banana, a small apple and a plum (quark is 1.90€/kg, bananas were 0.99€/kg and the plums something like 1.39€/kg so we're looking at something like 1.30€ for this meal) >supper: 0.6l of tea (used 4tsp of tea leaves which were 5€ for 500g box) along with perhaps 0.3l of milk (which was 0.65€/l) and 3 pieces of crispbread with cucumber and bell pepper (crispbread was just over 3€/kg, cucumber 2.59€/kg and bell pepper 2.99€/kg also some random cream spread that was something like 8€/kg).
cba to estimate the actual value of the last meal but lets say it cost 1€ to be on the safe side. Total comes to 3.20€ for the day.
James White
> ">Tfw accidentally drank a liter of motor oil while changing the oil in my car, 9000kcal binge" lmao this man is kicking me out of my job
Ryan Torres
if you stay up till 3 AM and eat a snack at 2 AM, do you log out for the previous day or the new day?
Jaxson Roberts
*log it I'm retarded
Michael Morgan
Technically, it's night so you don't log it at all.
Charles Butler
It's your face fat. I've lost 60 pounds since I got current job and only once person noticed my body but like 10 people told me my face looks skinnier. Prolly has a bit to do with uniforms
a) i over exercise without monitoring calorie intake b) i fail to minimize carbs and maximize proteins and fats (not keto retardation but just standard macro management)
if i cover these bases i can go for months without doing it
Isaac Gomez
Lost 44lbs on the snake diet. Went from 235 to 191lbs in around a month. Shooting for 150lbs. Probably the best weight loss method I have ever tried.
>B-but you'll relapse!
Actually, I have pretty much kicked my sugar addiction. I feel fucking great all the time, and only rarely get hit with hunger, and usually only for basic meat and greens.
>B-but you'll lose muscle!
The science and research says that fasting is muscle sparing, and jokes on you cause you probably don't have any muscle worth keeping anyway you fat sacks of shit. Seeing more definition on my arms than I have in my entire life. Get your salts. Get rid of the food, and use your excessive body fat for the only purpose it exists (extended periods without food).
Benjamin Stewart
What is a better idea? Be super fat and immediatly go fasting, or do CICO and reserve fasting for those tough-to-lose last pounds?
Angel Cox
I did intermittent fasting for two weeks before took the salt water fasting pill. It's not necessary, but it might help you ease yourself into it. CICO is a good way to set yourself on the fast track to fucking up your diet again. Going straight to fasting would be recommended, cause you can work on your food addiction while melting your fat. With fasting there will be no "tough to lose pounds".
Justin White
This. But opposite.
Christopher Murphy
Good for you. I also tried fasting at one point of my weight loss journey but by the third day I had basically become a zombie and decided to stop it since I was basically unable to function, let alone exercise. Never again, was in no way worth it for me.
56 kg (~123lbs) down in 208 days so far fwiw. As an added bonus, I also know how and what I'll be eating when I transition to maintenance.
Camden Smith
I don't even own a scale lmao
Also, post your last meal fatties. I'll have the same thing tomorrow for OMAD dinner.
Second and third day is the worst day. You had to struggle it out to make it over that hump specifically. Our bodies are not adapted to using their fat stores, because they never have to. Those days in particular are when you would typically be reeling from withdrawals of whatever you gave up, and your body going through fat adaptation. I had the same experience, so I ate, and resumed my fast. After that I was golden. Feeling great. Currently on day 6 with not a single calorie entering my body. Probably gonna do a refeed tomorrow, and continue doing week long fasts.
4 and something months into IF and occasional 48h fasts and I do not see it stopping anytime soon. I can't say I will keep doing it for sure, who knows, so maybe you're right.
Lucas Brown
if you eat binge so hard you throw everything up, do you still log the calories?
>eat 1500 calories per day for 8 months, lose 35kg >go on antidepressants for 6 months >during that time appetite is insatiable and self-respect is minimal >put all that weight back on and then some reeeeeeeeeeeeee i was so close to being skinny for the first time in a decade
