Broke my diet with this. Plan on doing some more until I fly out on Saturday, my excuse is that I'm going overseas for a year and won't enjoy my favorite local foods. I think I can reward myself after losing nearly 115lbs across 10 months, and being ~10-15 of my goal weight
Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.
Haven't been in a position to exercise in a month because of a stupid injury.I've been doing CICO the whole time, my weight hasn't changed in the meantime but I've noticed that I can fit into clothes that I couldn't a month ago. Could it be that I lost a couple of pounds of fat but gained some water weight because I'm not exercising and sweating it out?

*ahem* A weight loss diet literally just means consuming less calories, thats it. There is no such thing as a "good diet plan". Eat less and you lose weight. keto diets, Paleo Diet, no-carb diets, all of them are memes. Just eat less, exercise more, and you will lose weight. This has been a public service announcement.
it's very personal factors like your parents, your geographical location, your religion, your culture, your hobbies, your schedule, they all play significant roles in the food you eat if your default position is conveniently very close to something like atkins then it would make sense to make the small changes that would give you the purported benefits of that particular diet (and we tend to be more receptive of diets with name-recognition and product branding and stuff, like it's a product and we're the customer). Point is; the fundamentals never change, but we're all so varied in our behaviours and tendencies that to suggest a single diet will work as well for everybody as it does for the individual is incredibly naive. Finding out what gives you the best chance of success is the crucial part. I know it's easier to just pick a plan off the shelf rather than build something, but that's a concession that you should strongly consider before investing months to years of your life on an all-in-one package.

Hey guys insecure fat kid here with a question. So, when i masturbate, my dick is like hard and it measures at like 4inches. But there is like a fattynesd around my dick and if i pull my dick towards the floor and measure it from the base its like 7 inches. So if i got really skinny will my dick be bigger? But thats also like, when its pointed down
Everything is CICO. Various diets are there to make the journey easier or more efficient. Keto for example doesn't do anything magical, except it weans your body off carbs and helps you feel fuller on prots and fats. Even the weight watchers with their stupid fucking points is just a simplification of cico

Rice cakes were an early crutch for me too. Now I know that if I want to spend calories on nutritionally worthless food, I ought to save up to eat things that taste better.

Yes. It's twofold actually. Less FUPA and better cardiovascular health makes for noticable dick gains.

A stark reminder that no matter how much you improve your appearance /fat/, you'll still be a shitty person on the inside with a dogshit personality. Dude was probably asking if he could work in during rests or needed a spotter.

At what point do you think someone can be considered to not be fat any more? 20% bf? I'm down to about 17% or so but I'm still like 15 lbs off of my calculated goal weight and it's freaking me out.
Adrian Murphy
for me keto helped because it kills hunger and cravings for most people so it's much easier to stick to CICO and exercise(keto without CICO and exercise is bullshit that mostly achieves nothing). On the other hand you'll have to manage your carbs,cook for yourself,stick as many vegetables as you can under your carb limit and have a varied diet so you don't lack nutrients/vitamins. It helped me a lot but for most people it's not sustainable long term. When I hit my weight goal I'll still do relatively low carb and CICO, not knowing how to cook and eating trash was the reason for my weight so now that I know how to cook maintenence should be achievable. Maybe it'll help you with your hunger problem user but be aware that is a lot of work to do it right, when done wrong it can lead to deficiencies

Ate 500 calories worth of protein bars yesterday cause I was tired, it was late, but I still needed to fold laundry.

Anthony Taylor
hey /fat/
about a year ago I went from 5'11 235lb to around 200lb and stalled there ever since. Around 205lb right now.
I want to start cutting again, and ideally get down to around 180lb. Last time, I lost most of the weight through IF, usually I'd just not eat until 5pm or so then have a big meal and maybe a snack later. This worked to help me lose the weight but really made me feel like shit all the time (either starving during the day or overfull/bloated at night).
Anyway, this time around I'd like to try actually counting calories and just eating food like a normal person. Does anyone have any recs for calorie counting apps they like or other systems that have worked for them?
Hudson Taylor
Am I supposed to feel bad? I don’t know him and I don’t know you.

Started eating some chocolate cake, then spat it out. Kept looking at cake, shovelled 4 handfuls down before i thankfully stopped myself and avoided eating the entire cake. Still ashamed
Gavin Hill
glad that cosmic forces have never materialised a chocolate cake anywhere in my vicinity guess I'm just lucky
John Flores
yeah, you're just a lucky guy
Dominic Kelly
I've done the same thing with a shitty apple pie. I knew it wasn't worth eating, and did that. When I stopped myself, I ran the remainder of the pie out to the dumpster. I hate my fatfuck brain.
Justin Brown
Go with my fitness pal. If you like to cook for yourself pick up a food scale from walmart. Personally I just like to buy pre packaged garbage or get mcdonalds for convenient counting.
Ethan Gomez
I'm down like 56 pounds, still a fucking socially inept loser, but maybe in a year's time I won't be fat.
David Rodriguez
Has anyone had success with WW? Is it good? Or is calorie counting the best way to go?
Michael Morris
im really tempted to eat some toast rn, but i just ignore it till i get to sleep
Cameron Edwards
you mean weight watchers? it's basically just calorie counting wrapped up with a dumb points system if i recall.
Oliver Howard
off the charts autism
Landon Moore
WW is trash that doesn't teach you about the actual nutritional value of food and offers bullshit like free "zero point" foods that a determined fatty could binge on and not be able to lose weight with. Just count calories.
James Kelly
im so fucking ungry
Henry Watson
down a pint of water and eat a bunch of vegetables
Juan Evans
Next time you feel the "need" to eat when you know you shouldn't, think about what you'll look like while doing so. Use a mirror if necessary. If you saw this guy chomping down on what you're about to have, what would you think? Do you really need it?
Could be internal bleeding. Check if your poop is also red/black.

No. I'm basically just eating a ~1000 calorie deficit that's high in protein. I find working out when eating a deficit pretty bad cuz I just want to eat a fuck ton after. These last week I've been eating unhealthy but still within my calories, so I should be losing a bit more steadily. I was consistently losing 2-3 pounds a week until the beginning of August and now it's just like stopped.
Robert Harris
How much more do you need to lose? Dod you expect to feel differently?
Daniel Robinson
Nice, I am currently stuck around 200 here I need to get off my ass and post a form check
Connor Allen
Dear /fat/, 4 hours ago I began my first fast, I will now live off only dinner for as long as I can see results coming, paired with plenty of DOMS fueled working out, my fucking legs hurt like hell my man. This is my first legit try to seriously lose fat and get a body I can not be disgusted at.
>my first fast I seriously doubt that you must sleep some time
Joseph Brooks
I only sleep in the morning because I work in a hotel at night, the REAL test is to keep away from the kitchen and all the literally FREE food just sitting there.
Adam Long
IF helpe me with my plateu. On the evenings I lose all my dietary discipline. So I eat nothing during the day. A huge dinner (around 1200kcal) at around 6pm. Then 500g quark an hour or so later. After that my stomach is so full I can't stuff myself with shit later in the evening.
Jaxon Sullivan
I hear you this is the shit I have to contend with every day haven't lost yet
How often do you weigh yourself? As I approached "normal" size my weight loss slowed down (because that's what it's supposed to do) and weighing myself every week with not much to show for it psyched me out too much. Now I just weigh in every month and worry about it much less. Plateaus are pretty normal and getting through them is more mental fortitude than physical.
Isaiah Bennett
I gained 2kg since last week. Fuck me.
Charles Reyes
I weigh myself every day after I wake up but record once a week, I'm getting "close" to normal weight but I'm still pretty fat at 176lbs.
Jordan Howard

I'd say you're out of the range of weight just melting off of you for your efforts. When's the last time you ran your stats through a TDEE calculator? Your 1k deficit may no longer be as big as you think it is. I'd start working out even if it means you end up eating more (unless you want to be skinnyfat for whatever reason).
Tyler Richardson
My TDDE atm is around 2100 calories and most days I'm eating 800-1300 calories, so I should still be losing, and honestly I'm pretty sure it's mostly just water weight because I've been eating way more carbs and shitty frozen foods lately cuz I haven't had the time to cook.
Eli Adams
>How much more do you need to lose?
None. I went from 272 to 128.
Lincoln Fisher

good god i over ate last night and woke up and had a huge glass of lemon water then a big coffee and ive been shitting and feeling like im on the brink of having a panic attack all morning
