Lucas Brown
It's fine in the short term, but you probably won't stick to it very long if you do that extreme a deficit.
You would only gain a few months in speed at the increased risk of relapse and failure.
Brandon Adams
You need to get your stamina up my dude. Start walking all the time (at least a small 30 min walk every day) and ease into some jogging eventually
Hunter Martinez
You might be right, but I want to lose some before January. I'll keep it up, but on some days I'll eat above 1000 to balance it a little.
Jaxson Stewart
have no strength or endurance. struggle to exercise at all. what can I do to help this? at my best I can do about a 30 min walk. And that's with a couple of short breaks in between.
Christopher Murphy
at 330lbs you should be able to easilly get yourself under 300 by January. Good luck user!
Keep doing those 30 minute walks, they'll get easier. I promise.

Dylan Allen
why did you eat these things. like if you're breaking down why not eat some tasty shit like chocolate my dude?
Benjamin Richardson
Is riding my bike around the neighborhood a good exercise if I'm neet?
Levi Wright
I'm actually retarded and don't understand how to count calories and shit. I can't understand things with out a practical explanation. I've tried to look up what 1000 cal of food looks like but I'm getting nowhere.
I look at what I eat and have no idea if it's too little or too much food. I can't understand.
I'd happily eat the same few things every day/week if I knew it was okay. But I don't know what it all is.
Camden James
because then I'd have to move on to killing myself
Connor Thomas
delivering resumes is good exercise for a neet
Alexander Sanders
hell yes
Dominic Ward
I actually have a interview tomorrow.
Charles Garcia
>killing myself I'm almost at this stage currently at the stage where I'm constantly wanting to self harm. wanting to either cut a spiral along my left arm or to just cut off my fat rolls. what the actual fuck is wrong with me. i need help.
Samuel Gutierrez
Good luck. >mfw I've been trying to get a job for 5 fucking years and haven't once got an interview
But will it actually help with weight loss? I feel like biking riding won't burn that much calories right?
Sebastian Green
>would exercising help with weight loss man idk could be some kinda jewish trick
Kevin Flores
Thanks user. It's a warehouse job so it'll help me get plenty of exercise if I manage to land it tomorrow. Try getting a part time job and then after like 2 or 3months start looking for a full time job. That shows employers you are willing to work
Grayson Rodriguez
>Step one: Own a food scale >Step two: Put food on scale >Step three: Google nutrional information on food or use any kind of tracking app linked in the op >Step four: Multiply calories by weight
Typically vegetable have 0.2-0.5 kCal per gram, lean meats 1.1-1.9 kCal/g, rice / pasta 3-3.5 kCal/g and oil / butter 8-9 kCal/g.
Ayden Thomas
Did you even bother to read the OP? 1000 cal of food is a lot if you go the healthy route. You can eat a shit ton of chicken and veggies.
If you are sedentary and eat 1000kcal, you will be ~299 lbs by January. If you are sedentary and eat 1500kcal, you should be ~306 lbs by January.
So not much of a difference in the short term.
Sebastian Jenkins
You can REALLY up your progression via some excersize as well, just dumb shit like walking, some push-ups (use bars and knee pushups if you're too heavy) and some dumbbell stuff.
Seriously. I've done exactly 102 pounds in little under 6 months doing this and eating a keto meal once a day (Breakfast), with coffee and milk the rest of the day.
Zachary Phillips
I only ate 600 calories of real food so i could use the other 900 calories on candy
It was worth it
Caleb Ramirez
What's so bad about that? Just cut down on the quinoa a bit (maybe a half cup) and it'd be a decent meal.
Progress, not perfection. Everybody starts somewhere. Why is it impossible? I started at 302/137kg and am currently 190lbs/86kg Talking with people helps me a lot. Also resolving the underlying issues of why I'm depressed, but I know not everybody's depression is logical.
Weigh and log your food, before cooking/eating it if possible. It's the best way, otherwise you're just guessing. 1000kcal of spinach is a lot more than 1000kcal of chocolate, for example. What would that accomplish?
You would simply remove any chance of future success you might have. Have you had somebody look at your resume/work history? Are you applying to jobs you're unqualified for?
I left my old job and got hired at a new one within a month of sending out resumes. And I'm not anything special.
Nigga you just described something healthy and tasty
Wyatt Parker
Yea a pound a month means you're like -100 kcal per day, gotta crank that up some. Either workout some more or diet a little better. On the plus side, at least you didn't yo-yo back up! Stay positive!
Aiden Hughes
Just eat chicken breast for breakfast Chicken breast for lunch Chicken breast for dinner You'll be under or around 800calories and meet your protein goal
DO IT YOU FAG 100 POUNDS 5 MONTHS KETO OMAD GO GO GO

Camden Foster
>stop tracking calories for a month >somehow keep losing weight despite eating like a hog >start tracking calories at the end of the day >turns out I'm eating 1100kcal daily on average >still feel I should be eating less
its normal, when I was overweight and got really wasted, like absolutely shitfaced I would piss myself when asleep cause of amount alcohol I could drink, now at least my body is capable of waking me up at night to piss
Mason Foster
How small are you when at 72 kg you're still a little too fat? I'm 191 cm and 87 kg and I already see a bit of my abs. I don't even think my body could get to 72 kg through normal means.
Juan Cruz
At what point did you start to see some definition? 188.5, I was 130kg, now down to 98.4, current goal is 85. After that I'm thinking just keep going for definition then start building some muscle.
Owen Ortiz
HERE COMES THE WEEKEND AGAIN
i wish all /fats/ keep their shit together,including me
Juan Taylor
>wash dick 3 times in the shower >can still smell it
I only started to see definition after I began doing a dedicated abs workout every day. Trust me you need that shit, abs won't ever show by themselves regardless of what they tell you. It's like arms. You need dedicated arms exercises in the gym, otherwise they won't grow.
Anyway my abs workout every day is 5 sets of: 20 leg raises 50 hands on knees situps 10 vacuum hold for 10ish seconds each
5 sets, no rest in between. Should take about 14-16 minutes. I'll post a pic once I get home if you want.
Joseph Reed
I often have dreams about changing my lifestyle utterly, even though I know it's foolish to think of something like that, especially trying to do it all at once.
But; >Just buy vegtables, lean meats, and produce from the stores >Learn basic cooking and cleaning skills >Just drink water instead of soda or juice
Anyone else wish they could do this? Or fantasize about it?
What the fuck can I eat that has low calories and makes me full?
Alexander Russell
Chicken and broccoli.
Wyatt Russell
I meant as a snack since i'm fucking hungry
Aaron Taylor
No snacks. Only chicken and broccoli now.
Aaron Morgan
Eat half a bowl of vegetables. If you stuff your face with them, you'll feel full. You can even cheat by getting the mixed bags like I do with corn in it.
Isaac Hughes
What do I do about the hunger pains then? I'm 3days in.
Kayden Peterson
You learn to ignore them and they will go away. Listening to hunger has gotten you into this terrible state. Drink ice water, make green tea, or make black coffee. Do not add anything into these drinks. Make them plain.
Zachary Bennett
smaller portion of chicken and broccoli
Christian Gomez
Embrace them
Julian Wright
Already doing it as well. I'm trying IF 16:8 and trying to add Keto on top
Camden Hernandez
eat sausage and cucumber. its a decent snack for the calories
Lincoln Robinson
watermelon and grapes, it's literally orgasmic tasting.
Joshua Taylor
Can someone explain what these moves mean to a layman? Leg raises? I raise my legs when I move. Hand to knees.... situps? What? Vacuuming?
I have some stubborn belly fat that I’m going to burn off. I’ve been a horrible glutton though so I’ll confess my sins. >I’ve been drinking a can of coke every day for years now. >I ate a whole bag of mini kit kat bars over the month of October >I eat out with my wife at least once a week >I drink a Gatorade almost every day too >I don’t count calories and I eat white bread/ burgers with buns >I eat a couple bites of vegetables a week, not nearly enough >I never do cardio >I love greasy, salty, sweet processed foods and I’m truly addicted >I eat convenience
These are my confessions, Jow Forums. It’s time to stop going through the drive through, and start steaming the broccoli. It starts at lunch time in 4 hours. I will commit.
Posting because I saw an user yesterday that was the same starting weight as me. Might serve as encouragement for morbidly obese fatties. This is what 12 weeks of progress look like for me. I started at 168 kilos, I'm 139 now, finally sub 140. I wend from pants size 48 to 44, all my old clothes are baggy as fuck now. Also, I don't snore at night anymore and I can walk fine without my knees fucking killing me. You'll have to excuse the shitty starting pic, since most of my old pictures look like some bigfoot encounter photos. I'm always in the background, blurry as fuck and not looking at the camera. I still got 50 kilos to go but I think I made some nice progress, and any morbidly obese fatty can too.
>pounds sucks when your scale shows kg and you feel like you gotta get 10 kg first before you can be proud at all
James Hall
>do one leg raise >feels like my lower back and ass are on fire I can't do these. Not even one. What the fuck? Do I not have any muscles down there? How do you start when the resistance is this fucking bad? I can maybe at best do 3 or 4 and then the pain gets severe. I feel like this move hits some trouble areas hard.
Jackson Richardson
So I bought some apples to treat myself. Got Pinklady. Let's what all the fuss is about. Saw them discounted. They are very expensive usually.
Angel James
Look into hollow body holds progression and dead bugs. You shouldn't push through genuine pain until it gets severe.
