Found a smashed taco in the gutter while outside. Couldn't help myself. Little muddy but it was all right. Not going to beat myself up for it, I'll start fresh tomorrow.
I'm noticing that I'm not getting much calcium, what are some good non-dairy sources? Not lactose intolerant but I have poor impulse control and if I buy bulk quantities of dairy product (especially cheese or yoghurt) I will eat it

Remember to everyone, the key to long term success is consistency. Count your calories every day, make sure they're at least slightly below your TDEE, and try to get as much activity as you can. You can lose a lot of weight, and a lot of weight fast, eating only one raw veal heart a week or whatever meme diet some spaz is spewing on Joe Rogan this week, but you're just gonna gain it all right back. Trust me.
The only way it works is with CICO and adopting a healthy, active lifestyle over the long term.

Samuel Garcia
I've run into a problem on OMAD of eating only 800 calories a day because while I used to eat 1400-1500 calories in a sitting, I can't seem to get to those without eating bad foods. I'm just too full if I eat healthy, which is good until about noon the next day when I feel way too sluggish. I'm thinking of dropping omad but it's the only diet that had ever worked and felt natural
Jacob Nguyen
just switch to IF. eat a small meal when you feel sluggish then your regular 800kcal later

Im 55lbs down since september, a 5'8 manlet thats 220 right now down from 275. I dont see any loose skin yet but I work out 5 days a week (around 1:30-2 hours of intense workout), do volleyball 1ce a week, do muay thai twice a week, and play tennis. I am also 23.
My question is this, if i continue doing all of this stuff, will I avoid getting loose skin? I havent had any yet, everything seems fine, but im nervous the last 40-50 pounds might produce some. Also any advice to avoid it?
Ha! I know you are trolling but I no joke had a girlfriend like that. Always planning trips on my dime and eating way too much. Women shouldn't be allowed out of the kitchen, not because they should be cooking (lol what kind of retard would eat a woman's cooking these days) but because they need to get the idea of traveling for fun out of their heads. It's an epidemic.
Gavin White
At that SW and your CW tgere's no way to know if you will get loose skin yet or not, and then if you have loose skin at your goal weight you have to wait another year or two to find out if it will tighten up or if you need surgery. There is no prevention. I reccomend slathering yourself in bio-oil on any fatty parts like your gut and moobs, and regular lotion on the rest of your body, though I doubt it's going to have any substantial, if any effect at all on loose skin, it's still really good for your skin and you will smell nice.
Im hoping that be being active and sweating will keep my skin healthier and help it retract better. I also have a pretty wide frame for a manlet so maybe if i have loose skin it will be minimal. What do you think about taking collagen? What is SW and CW?
I've officially had a one week plateau as of today. I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen, but it did. Woosh, come to me please.

(Unsweetened) almond milk. I don't like to drink it plain and straight, but it's good in cereal and it's fine as a coffee creamer or you can buy it as chocolate milk if you have the calories to spare.

SW - starting weight CW - current weight GW - goal weight Aneceotally, people say that collagen does help a little, but there's no evidence, but it's not very expensive so there's really no reason not to take it.
Andrew Flores
Sup fatties, I'm down 25 lbs and I'm ready to start my first lifting program today, SS. I lift sometimes but never on a program. Does anyone have an opinion on the volume of lifts in this program? I think it's pretty low but they say not to worry about it.

Christopher Ortiz
If you are just starting to lift don't do such a low number of reps. You need to learn the mechanics of the movements not go heavy on the weights. I would seriously consider doing 10-12 reps in the beginning. Doing 3 reps or singles means you need to go heavy and if you don't understand the movements you will break yourself
Isaac Collins
Down to finally under 170lbs as of this morning. Feels REAL fucking gud man. Was 215 back in September, but somehow got down to 195 when I finally actually started dieting and bought a scale 10 weeks ago. Amazing how CICO just werks. I haven't even been eating insanely healthy. Just eating alot more mushrooms, chicken, greek yogurt and ham and cheese sammiches. Haven't had one day where I was above my TDEE, and have averaged an ~33% caloric deficit every day. I've got to start working out here shortly. Shame there isn't a gym within 100 miles of where I live.
Started to cook a bit more, got a great job, started caring more about my hygiene, started investing stocks and have made a small amount of money over the past year, and am planning on going back to school online here this fall. I think I'm turning it around bros.
pretty sure it wouldn't be so ubiquitous if it didn't work user

Question about eating habits
Keto So the point is to replace carbs with fats and then your body burns more body fat during a fast? How do I tell if I am in ketosis? How would a 2000 calorie diet of 75% fat 20% protein 5% carb result differently than a more balanced diet of the same carlorie amount?
Exercise What is a good cutting routine? Been doing PPL 6 days on 1 day off
Liam Long
>Squat 5x3 >Bench 5x3 >Deadlift 5x1 Might not seem like a lot on paper but tell me it's not enough when you are 32/35 lifts in.
Lucas Cooper
>How do I tell if I am in ketosis? Don't worry so much about being in ketosis. You will be in ketosis as long as you stick to the program, the one way to actually check is a blood stick and those get expensive. Piss, breath and other methods only show that you were previously in ketosis and in my experience can be wildly inaccurate. Count your calories, keep your macros and you will lose weight. When you feel that you have done all the keto you can handle, and that time will come sooner or later, then move over to OMAD or some kind of fasting.

I just started ssri so I don’t really wanna go mixing other meds while I get used to this shit.

Would it be okay to just eat yogurt and some oatmeal today?

>Telling them your actual diet instead of pretending you just started taking metabolism boosting vitamins and started jogging on the weekends in between bites of donut your double fisted eatmogging them with Potential to make huge social gains and instead you chose to be insufferable to save half a day of progress. Just because you're not fat doesn't mean you're making it.
Literally everything has a "national day" thanks to relentless capitalism, but supposedly donut day in June spawned from a fund raising event in 1938 to help sufferers of the great depression, taking inspiration from the donuts that were served to soldiers during WW1. As a side note, the US is not the only country that celebrates a donut day.

Good job, i'm 181cm, i've went from 75 to 104 in the past 8 years, it's been a while since i've known what to do to be healthy and to lose weight but i didn't have the discipline until this year. It's a virtous circle where stable life -> more discipline -> more healthy habits -> more energy to do the things you have to do and want to do -> more stable life

I can't even pretend to be that kind of retard.

Owen Reed
It sucks lifting on a calorie deficit. Too many people have convinced me that it’s pointless to even try to build muscle while losing weight. Any fat bros out there been able to build significant muscle while losing weight?
I’ve theorized you could do it following one meal a day and doing hard workouts right before or after eating. But I’d like to hear if any of y’all have made it happen.
Juan White
Where is confess guy I’m chocolate mono user down 1.25kg from eating only chocolate. Today we do chips.
You can build muscle while at a low deficit like 500kcal. But half your calories have to be proteins.

Thoughts on PB2? I really like natural peanutbutter and was wondering about using this with celery to hit my protein goal. Costco only has the bigass jars though, so it seems like a risk if it's gross.
Adam Taylor
I’m not sure I calculated my calories right last night. Had the innards of a turkey club sandwich, skipped bread. Then I had a print of cider. Got home, thought I calculated my calories right. Had enough calories for another cider, so I did. Still was under my count though. Just glad I skipped the cake and ice cream last night.
Josiah Fisher
I like it, I add it to shakes, and oatmeal. It tastes like the real thing to me. My wife makes a paste with it and spreads it on bread, she says it's not the same but pretty close.
Joshua Nelson
It's an effective peanut butter substitute when you mix in into things like protein shakes, but many people don't find it to effectively replace real peanut butter when you just add a little water to make a spread out of it. On its own, it's not nearly as sweet or savory as real peanut butter, although the peanut flavor is there. I don't hate it as a spread personally, but I think it's better as an additive. I don't recommend the chocolate PB2. Off-brand peanut butter powders are fine too, just so you know. I have a generic brand from a discount store and it's the exact same as PB2.

400 lb user here. Officially down 80 lbs since Feb 6.
Another 100 to go then I reevaluate where I'm at for loose skin.
Thanks for the education, knowledge and lolz to get me through this Jow Forums
Im at 88kg right now. I hope to go under 85 by the end of month but I will not be disappointed if that does not happen. There is still some distance to ~70kg.

I know. I'll call myself 300 lbs user when I get there. When I started posting in April I was 421 lbs. Kinda just stuck with it.
