Binged on 30 dollars worth of McDonald's the other, day, gained a shit ton of weight +water
In the 2 days since (only 1 meal through the weekend) i lost fucking 14 LBS of water weight.
Feel slightly skinnier already but damn the human body is amazing

My girlfriend made me Keto-friendly Shortbread cookies, and I had 5 last night. I didn't go over my calorie goal, but that's 650 that could have gone to faster weight loss
Aaron Sanchez
Here I see 1g/lb for protein, and on the sticky it says 1.5g/lb when you're cutting. Which is it???
Caleb Rivera
>t. Michael Scott "Where are we?" "About five kilometers away from the office."
Easton Johnson
obvsly the latter but that only applies when you actually lift weights else don't really bother about it. However taking foods that are naturally high in protein are usually foods that satiate you for a longer period of time thus making weight drop easier.

You've already been told what to do, you mentally handicapped ape.
Hunter Myers
Thanks. Also it should be based on the goal weight instead of your current weight?
Jack Reed
Right, you don't know. You just heard it and started parroting it without thinking. Who better to take advice from.
if you ever make it it'll be by pure coincidence fingers crossed eh
Luke Hall
Water fills your stomach, which makes you less hungry. In addition, the thirst response is often mistaken for hungry in America, and many western people are chronically dehydrated.
Nolan Martin
I stand by what I said, you don't know what hunger is. If you think flooding your stomach with water will in some way inhibit your ghrelin secretion then who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to let you speak.
Kevin Sanders
You can stop baiting now. You're making it too obvious.
Juan Gomez
You're not hungry fatty you mistake cravings for hunger You're fat! You're full of energy from your fat so you physically can't even be hungry anymore and probably forgot how it feels like All you do is crave crave crave like a food slut
Brody Bell
I fucked up. I just ate a fuckton of ice cream. I didn't even like it, I just couldn't help myself. It comes out to around 1,000 calories. What do I do?
i really just feel like going into my fridge and binging on everything. so stressed and just want to eat to bury my feelings
im 2 weeks into keto and IF and i dont wanna throw that away but fuck
Cameron Williams
I drank water just now. I do not feel hungy anymore. Why do people respond to that mentally retarded faggot?
Thomas Russell
Is 600-1200cal a day too little for a 186 5'9 guy with a goal weight of 150? I don't really feel the urge to eat more and am rarely hungry, but it does seem pretty low, however seeing my weight go down by 2-3 pounds a week is really nice.
Jack Williams
Been fasting this whole weekend, and I'm trying to hang in there until tomorrow. I'm so hungry lads...
Parker Sanders
didn't buy the groceries I wanted when I had the chance, missed the goal calorie, ended up consuming my bmr worth of calories, but still way less than the tdee
Gavin Hernandez
I'm not the guy you were even talking to in the first place, and I don't see what gremlins or their secretions have to do with anything.

Lost 35 lbs and gained 1" on my dick due to fupa reduction.
Feels nice to double my length just like that.

watch Gremlins 1&2, you'll see that water and food are closely linked with them

Jacob Bailey

Kevin Butler
1500 is the minimum retard it will stop going down by 2-3 lbs a week when you run out of muscle to burn
Ethan Morgan
Genuine question: why is 1500 the rule? Like wouldn't height/weight/TDEE in general play into that?
How the fuck do you get rid of fat legs anons? Im 199 pounds but my legs are a lot bigger for some reason. Is there any good workouts or foods to get these down

Eli Thomas
It's old "common wisdom" that you don't diet too fast or you enter "starvation mode", which is an old wives tale.
It was useful back in the day when most dieters were normal weight girls losing vanity pounds, and it was a lot harder to accurately get calories, but it's been debunked pretty well since then.
Whatever diet you do, you should determine :
A) How sustainable is this? Is this too extreme for me to handle for a long period of time?
B) Am I covering my bases on a nutrient level? Enough protein is the main thing for macronutrients. If you have enough protein and a bit of fat to not get rabbit starvation (look it up), the other macros don't matter much. Also keep in mind vitamins and such.
C) Will this help me lose weight? If your meal plan is "eat as much as I want of whatever I want whenever I want", it defeats the purpose.
Jaxson Garcia
i'm probably going to get shit for this, but i'll try to explain the rationale. you're right that it's just a rule of thumb. for most people that aren't turbofat 1500 is roughly 2 lb a week, maybe a little more, for women a bit less. most doctors and dieticians consider 2 lb a week to be the upper limit for healthy weight loss. that's primarily because as you get a bigger and bigger deficit it gets progressively harder for your diet to be nutritionally complete. additionally people often resort to stuff like keto to hit those kinds of deficits, which tends to lead to higher saturated fat etc, which leads to health problems. very-low-calorie dieting begins at 800 kcal, professionals will tell you this kind of diet should only be done under medical supervision and only for 12 weeks at a time.

Almost there boys. Started April 27th at 215lbs. Down to 175lbs, 5'10" and 34 years old. Keep at it!
>Have some responsibilities to take care of >Keep pushing them off for weeks because of anxiety and lazyness mixed together >Also stop being productive in other areas "Oh yeah, I should be doing *that* thing, going to the grocery should go afterward" but then I don't do *that* either (not a specific thing, just whatever I currently have to take tare of) and just waste whole weekends on Jow Forums or whatever else and didn't even do the groceries so I have to get junk food because McDonalds is the only place I can get food past midnight
>Finally do *that* thing >It's really easy to do and I was scared for nothing, usually way less time-consuming that I assumed >After doing it I feel like a fucking god, am in a hyperproductive mood, taking care of everything I've "keeping for later", honestly have eyes getting teary from being happy

the results for the fatty contest are in!
winners by absolute weight lost: 1st: Fatbarth - 9.8 lb 2nd: Spainbro - 5.5 lb 3rd: Nagu - 3.8 lb
the current lineup on points is: 1st: KenloBorther - 10 points 2nd: crono - 7 points joint 3rd: daydreamanatomy2, Faustus, Spainbro, Fatbarth - 6 points
it's a tight race lads. any one of you with 6 points could take the lead next week. collectively we averaged 1.33 lb lost this week, which is a great increase on last week. keep up the good work everyone.
the following people are now on warning and will enter the HALL OF SHAME if they don't post next week: hugo617 Colonel Gentleman jimyeet crono Queef Chief Fart Garfunkel CountNickula Svullo
Fatbarth here I hope I didn't skew the results. I usually weigh in on Mpndays but since the contest is on Saturday I just tested it to give you data Oddly enough I was three days into shit retention and even I didn't expect to have lost so much already, since I literally started the past Monday. It's probably all water weight, the rate of loss will probably slow down and I'm okay with it, I won't make the mistake of quitting right the moment I see no more fast gainz That's it with my blog im gonna fuck off and post more memes eventually
Kevin Richardson
Daily reminder a high protein diet during weight loss helps retain muscle mass.
Gabriel Bennett
I feel this. Changes in environment are useful for me when it comes to this. It's a bitch though.
Jason Butler
>used to just eat fucking whatever when I was 240 pounds >now I'm down to 200 and feel guilty about having a single sugary snack even if I'm eaten healthy the rest of the day, stayed under my 1500 calorie limit, and worked out seriously Surely I can make room for 200-300 kcal a day for junk if it stops me from binging/rebounding later right? It's not like I do cheat days.
it's no worries. it just revealed how shitty the scoring system is. i'm redoing it right now to be like mario kart. it doesn't really make sense to award 3 sets of points between 30 people.
David Bell
This is good. Would the snack actually prevent binging? Sounds like you are doing fine and not binging. Personally I like a zero tolerance policy. Lately I've eased up but only because I now feel with absolute certainty things will never revert back to my fat ways, and that I will be making it. Zero tolerance helped me switch my mentality
Henry Rivera
Right now I'm eating steel cut oats for breakfast, chicken breast and veggies for lunch, and protein shake made with skim milk for dinner. 2 fruits usually 1 banana and 1 apple are thrown in there daily. Is this ok or should I replace something? Was thinking of maybe switching the oats to a smoothie, or cheesy eggs but i'm not looking to do the whole keto thing.
I'm probably just making shitty excuses that I wouldn't be making if the conveniance store wasn't a 100m walk from my house. I'm just going to do this zero tolerance thing and see how it goes.
Nathaniel Jones
Its almost 2 AM and i have just eaten several KFC chicken pieces
I promise i will never do it again
Justin Miller
I the zero tolerance guy, if I ever do have a craving for a snack, which I seldom do these days, I drink a diet soda for sweet tooth, or pork rinds for my chip fix
