I still have a lot of face fat, look chubby and weak. College starts again in 2 weeks. I really want to drop to 12-14%bf before then. I've been eating 1500kcal for weeks now but I won't make it in time like this. Should I join the fasting cult?
I have been steadily losing weight since May. Recently, due to stress/new job I have been eating like shit - upwards of 4k calories a day. I checked the scale and I have lost 7 more pounds with these changes. I am very worried that something is wrong with me.

Nice work on hitting the 100s. I last weighed in at 170 and still hate myself so just keep doing it regardless. Started at 260

Anybody get light-headedness while doing a low calorie diet? I'm limiting to 1200 calories a day (with one 2000 calorie "cheat day" per week) but I round up on my foods so most days I eat around 1000.
The past couple weeks if I stand up too fast or bend over for 5-10 seconds I get very light-headed.
If you do that shit would be better to just fast one week a month and eat normally the rest of the days. 1000 is too low.

Get a little bit of salt in you. Usually does the trick.

Anyone got something motivational I can stick on my fridge? I remember an image of a fit man trying to escape from a fat mans body, but I can't find it.
Joseph Hill
Nah, just the worst shits
Daniel Morgan
I would say if anything I probably ingest too much sodium. I don’t really mind being hungry but when I do eat I like my food salty.
Explain yourself. Why exactly does being stressed make you eat? That makes no sense. There's nothing physically forcing you to eat more you just wanted to and user stress as an excuse.
Austin Young
you on de wae

You were slow today, try again next time.
Jaxson Moore
That's too easy, you need to look human naked.
Josiah Rivera
I get this, check your heart rate if it's below 60bpm (bradycardia) up your calories some. Went to some doctors but they were puzzled by it, though there is some research on some fatties responding to calorie restriction this way. I don't have any health issues other than being a lardass and the diet wasn't stressful or anything.
Oddly enough, when I water fast 2-3 days I feel fine.
Tyler Ortiz
do you feel the crushing disappointment? that feeling that if you met your past self, you would disapprove?
Aiden Phillips
Day 2 of my no eat fast Going pretty well i would say Any time i get hungry i just take a nap
Don't expect to see immediate results after "only" six pounds. The change is gradual and barely visible on a week-to-week basis. To illustrate, take progress pics once every week for several months.
Isaac Wilson
lower the goal weight :)

>birthday last week >went out for birthday meal, ate probably 1500 calories at that meal >wife made a cheesecake for my birthday >ate 3 slices over 3 days >gave the rest away to friends >ate at my normal deficit the entire rest of the week >gained 2.5 lbs from last week when I weighed in this morning
>wife made a cheesecake for my birthday Tells that gains goblin to fuck off.
Levi Rogers
so i had a couple beers with the lads and ended up ordering pizza, but i can't even eat half of it. what the fuck do i do with the rest?
Camden Stewart
It was good cheesecake and probably the first dessert I've had in probably a month so I don't really regret it. But fuck... how many calories can really be in a slice?
Dylan Johnson
>only made it two days on my first fast damn this is hard
Fucking throw it away. You're better than this, user.

Yesterday (-4 lbs) >apple cider vinegar with mother, turmuric, ginger & cayenne pepper >chopped watermelon >3 egg omelette with no cheese (chopped onion, tomato, ham, banana pepper and topped with pepper) >licorice spice tea >raw hot cacao >8 cups of water Exercise >Rest day (originally wasn't going to but I decided I wanted to save some energy for tomorrow to have a huge workout day at full capacities, really needed a lot of sleep as well)
Today (no weigh-in) >roasted dandelion root spice tea >pickled egg and a few slices of pickled onion (mid-workout run to the kitchen quick protein fuel, also I heard pickle juice helps cramps?) >apple cider vinegar with mother, turmuric, ginger & cayenne pepper >8 cups of water (so far, just woke up relatively recently so I'll be drinking probably closer to 16 by the end of the night) Exercise >2 hour workout consisting of 250 jumping jacks, 100 squats, 100 push-ups, 1,000 punches at full strength and speed, 250 kicks at full strength and practicing form, took longer than it probably should have to finish all this because I was jogging in place to catch my breath intermittently and also refilling my water through-out the process (still have really bad asthma causing breathing and dizziness issues, but it's a lot better than when i started and could only manage 30 pushups and squats and injured myself doing 100 jumping jacks and thought 200 punches was a lot i was so out of shape, no excuses anymore I still got it done without passing out, sitting or resting against the wall even if it took longer) >plan on doing a 2 hour workout later tonight of nothing but vigorous step-ups while watching informative nutrition and fitness videos
The day is going good so far. Going to eat an apple and some celery now and then for lunch cook the chicken breast I thawed out overnight and eat it with some greens.
Hudson Stewart
This is either retarded or a lie
Brayden James
Why would you say it's retarded exactly? I post here to learn, so it'd be good to know if I'm fucking up.
Asher Myers
Just put it in your fridge and have one slice a day and count it in your daily calorie intake. Count one slice as 500 calories just to be safe.
Luke Thompson
Punch and kick into a bag. Bruce Lee said you'll ruin your joints without one. Listen to Bruce Lee.
Brandon Thompson
Anyone ever run alternating U/L every other day? Trying to make a routine flexible around work. What were your gains like? Should I just eat shit and try to cram a PPLxULxx against a 60 hour workweek and a 10,000 hour family life?
Nathan Wright
>keep the leg gains and shave off the rest
Wyatt Fisher
My point of my post was that Im losing weight without even a remote deficit in my calories.
Brayden Walker
>Be Motivated >Train hard with strict diet for 1 year >Still look fat and weak
What the fucking point bros :(
Andrew Diaz
when you taste success, you'll know.
Jeremiah Campbell
Thanks I didn't know that. I might try to make my own because I'm poor as fuck.
Well done user I'm approaching the >200 barrier, we're all gonna make it
Juan Sanders
Friendo get yourself to a doctor. I know you're scared, but think of it like this: whatever it is, best to catch is sooner than later.
John Bennett
Just get back at it. It was your birthday bro, it's allowed

How the fuck is a sliver of pie worth 500kcal
Is the red pill for being slim just not eating anything good ever again??
Oliver Lopez
If you can only do 30 push ups and squats, do only that much. Now you've overdone it. Goodluck with the Doms and cramps tomorrow. Which means another rest day.
Bentley Morgan
I know it was TLDR, but you should read before you comment.
James Butler
how can i make it so my stomach doesnt scrunch when i do this
Completed day 2 of couch to 5k this morning. Felt easier than day 1. I even got a respectful nod from another runner. I might Stillwell like a fat piece of shit right now but at least I don't have to feel like one today. Hope you all stay below your TDEE and get some exercise today /fat/. We can all make it if we just try our best.
Yes. Especially so if in water/brine with not too much sodium.
Matthew Barnes
>cheat month >not cheat year Never gonna make it.
Jeremiah Rogers
Need to cut hard. I'm 5'11", male, and currently at around 235 lbs. I once managed to drop lower and my max was 340 lbs, but my ex destroyed my progress and I rebounded pretty hard.
Provided I have good macros and hit all daily nutrition requirements, is 1400 kcal daily too low or am I going to fuck my metabolism? Doing a 23:1 intermittent fast btw, so all those calories are at once.
