Old thread BMI exceed 300 Who is /fat/ for? Fat members of Veeky Forums who want to learn how to eat right, lift weights, and lose fat. Here we ask others for advice and give moral support to one another. We all know how hard it first is and we all have to get through it to better ourselves. At the end of the day this is a support general whose goal is to help and motivate the chubby channers who need it. Please be warned that there are some chronic idiots who post in this general giving horrible advice that doesn't work for them or anybody.

I have noticed that since I have started eating better, exercising regularly, and sleeping better I just feel so much more energized and happy. Is it placebo?

Started counting calories, thought Subway would be a good decision for lunch. Came out to about 900 calories after everything.
This is gonna be difficult but oh well
Colton Robinson
so ive been going to the gym every night for the last 3 nights ( my fist time working out)
my arms are kinda sore around the brachioradalis, and very faint tightness in my chest, nothing hurts its just obviously tight, i cant extend my arm out completely, but if i use my other arm to stretch it out fully it feels fine. all of this normal ?
Cameron Watson
No. You're a retard. Read the sticky.
Lincoln Sullivan
How big was the meal in question.
Dylan Diaz
Been craving fried chicken so I got a couple chicken legs, put a louisiana rub thing that's really like salt, pepper, cumen, and some other herbs on, and oven baked 'em. Having with mixed frozen vegetables.
Craving sorted, calories kept within budget. Life is good.
thanks.....i might just stop going to the gym now. great motivation
Nathaniel Fisher
Yeah. Honestly, I'm pretty good at cooking I'm just a lazy shit which is why I ate a bunch of junk food and ended up putting on some weight. I can cook better than the bullshit I'd order.
Honestly I think cooking is the most important skill for being in shape/healthy by far. What I've decided to do with my cut is create a 'normal' diet. Like, I'm going to eat the same stuff I'm going to eat when I'm not cutting, but, less of it. With a macro spread that realistically I could jigger into a bulk, recomp or cut. So if I was just eating maintenance I'd eat this, but a bit more, or bulk, this, but a lot more.
I'd like to create something that I only need to adjust quantities of. I think that losing weight on a temporary diet is impossible. But eating stuff you hate in a way you hate forever is also. So the best thing is to create a 'normal' diet full of stuff you like that you eat a bit less of for a while. Which means learning to cook if you can't already.
Adrian White
Standard sized everything. 1 bag of groats - 100 grams dry 1 fish fillet brick - 75g half a bag of frozen spinach - 200g 1 egg + some breadcrumbs for breading
Comes out to a full dinner plate, but nothing excessively big.

Are you me? Everything you said is stuff I have said time and time again in these threads. I'm trying to do something long term so all the meme diets like keto or whatever else aren't going to KEEP me at a healthy weight.
So many of us fatties want a quick fix and don't think long term about what they'll eat once they're thinner.
Fatties who do what you are doing will most definitely make it.
Jayden Powell
quick question do you guys set your maintenance at the BMR or sedentary?
Charles Harris
Sounds like you're able to tell when you're satisfied now, thats an invaluable skill. I still haven't mastered it RIP
Chase Phillips
Never gonna make it
Lincoln Stewart
Lost another 6lbs this month
Dominic Ramirez
Sedentary, BMR is what your body uses in a coma, using that as your maintenance will basically be a cut.
David Richardson
:') P R O U D
Jordan Brooks
oh shit ive been cutting to 800cal for 5 weeks because of that. should i stop and increae?
Christopher Cox
I'm very used to eating until I'm full. How can I get over this? Is counting calories the only way? Or is there some other way I can train myself to stop being a disgusting glutton?
Henry Hall
counting calories is the way you train yourself to stop being a glutton. it makes you think more about what you're eating and helps you memorize basic things, i.e. like a chicken breast is typically 200 calories. counting calories leads to better long term behaviors.
many stories in /fat/ about people surprised that some supposedly OK meal was actually 700 calories a hit. i posted here that a pork/swiss bagel i used to get was 650 calories. i was fuckin shocked i ate that every morning.
Ayden Phillips
>tfw finally got a gf >tell her i'm going to gym today, should only be an hour >"user please, just stay here!"
wat do guys, i don't wanna lose my gains but also don't wanna lose my gf
Ryder Hill
are the saunas a good way to relax muscles after your session ?
Aiden Carter
your gains are more important. im not fucking around here
Aaron Miller
I'd like to be able to cook more than eggs, chicken breast, and canned veggies but at the same time I'm not a picky eater and can't be assed to put time/effort into it.
Ethan Peterson
>notice my fat under my arms is sagging like old deflated tits again Feels good/bad man.
Isaiah Robinson
If a random comment on a cabbage picking chinese board is what gets you to stop going to the gym it's over before it started.
Christopher Perez
why though, i mean yeah it's not good to skip but it's just one day
plus it's a girl which is the reason i started lifting in the first place
Jayden Myers
Confess your cheatmeals
Dylan Reyes
gains. gf either really wants to spend time with you (she'll survive for an hour) or doesn't want you to get fit/attractive cause she doesn't want to feel lazy. or she's worried you'll be out of her league eventually and you'll leave her, or some other dumb shit.
tl;dr gains are better for the long run friend
Liam Russell
stick to your habits / routine to ensure long term success. compartmentalize your life and plan for her around your fitness and health
Bentley Harris
does high carb vs low carb matter on a cut?
Caleb Nelson
I'm the lard arse who was 220kg on 6th Feb, now down to 203kg. I have been doing very low carb and intermittent fasting. I'm coming up to 2 months of dieting with no cheating and I am losing weight fast but today I had a haircut and I still found it hard to look at my fat self in the mirror. I'm finding it easier walking around now and actually needed to get new clothes for first time today. It's good to feel it working but I can't wait until i look more normal
Josiah White
It's an acquired skill, it takes time for your body to accept the new "normal".
For example, when I was fatfat, I could shovel an ice cream pack, fries, donuts, chocolate, chips, sweets within an hour and be fine.
Now I tried eating an ice cream pack (ie. 500ml), I could down like half of it before being like NOPE.
With the added crap that my taste buds were rip for the next day and dinner tasted like cardboard, which usually tastes amazing.
So yeah, I don't have a desire to even eat sweets as much, even if my body does.
Joshua King

i eat a pizza every saturday

the first thing i eat once ive hit my target weight is the free papa john's pizza sitting in my account.

Former fatty here, just dropped by to tell you you chubs that I'm watching. Don'you dare slack off. You will make it.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Time is on your side frendo, be patient and keep doing what you're doing, you got fat within years and years of putting on weight. You'll get unfat within a few months.
Not a bad deal I say.
Lincoln Lewis

So cold, sweet, refreshing...
Carter King

Isaac Mitchell
keep going bruh
Leo Anderson
If you're fat, no.
John Parker
High carb diet is shit. All carbs do is give you more cravings for carbs and ruin your diet. Try just eating the minimum ammount of it.
Leo Nguyen
If you can cook chicken you can cook anything. You literally just put it all on heat until it's done. Cooking is only hard when you go into Top Chef type stuff.
Joshua Hernandez
I'm making flourless peanut butter cookies right now.
Isaiah Martin
I'm depressed (diagnosed) and fighting it for over 4 years now. When I'm feeling really bad I compensate with eating fast food and candy. Nothing else seems to be able to fill the void. Not to mention that I skip the gym when I feel terrible. Why do I even type this here, it can't be helped.
Austin Butler
>kg
Are you sure that's not lb? A 200kg person can't even leave his bed.
David Smith
I mean all the prep I guess. none of it is necessarily hard, it's just time consuming and tedious
Tyler Williams
Yes.
Isaac Sullivan
> TFW you're a 5' 8" 225lb Manlet with children and a full time graveyard schedule. > how do you do it > never crave food until starving > eat at weird times when I do >never gonna make it > kill me now
Aaron Bennett
Really depends on what you're cooking. Some stuff is low prep and you can cook a lot of stuff with low prep. You can just cut veggies in half and toss them into the oven, or cut them a bit more and throw them into a pan. Most cuts of meat don't really need to be prepped as they almost all fit into a pan straight from the store.
Camden Lopez
im skinnyfat. i just need enough carbs to have enough energy to do my lifts. i do 30% carb, is that okay?
Austin Sullivan
You can eat carbs, but just avoid simple carbs like white bread, pasta, and rice.
Liam Long
I won't disappoint you user
Liam Turner
great threat user! quit if you want.
Jack Parker
fuuuck i want a pizza so much right now
Eli King
i cant give up white rice, brown rice is too gross
Angel Williams
30% is fine, just don't overdo it.
Nathaniel Cox
Your satiety meter is probably out of alignment, you need to reset it. Stomach shrinking is a myth, but you definitely can adjust to feel full with smaller portions. Try IF, it's what worked for me instead of spreading the calories between multiple small meals that never leave me satisfied. Start with a week, treat it as a short term intervention instead of a permanent lifestyle change, so you have a visible achievable goal. Go hungry, suffer through it knowing you will eat in the evening. BUT in the evening only eat so much that you stop being hungry (remember it's just for a week). After that 2 things should happen - your hunger sensitivity will be greatly reduced as you just learn to ignore it, and you'll naturally need less food to feel satiated. In that week try to avoid both fats and processed carbs as the first offer very little volume per calorie and the other dissolve inside you within an hour leaving you hungry again. I'm and I don't count anything
Camden Taylor
>pizza hut No thanks, even microwave pizza is better than chain pizza, and cheaper too
Connor Myers
Sorry to hear that bro. This is what a lot /fat/ties experience as well, though. I know for me when I get really depressed and stressed out the only thing calms me is binging on food I shouldn't eat.
It sounds shitty, I know, but you really just have to make a conscious effort to fight your tendencies. It's hard and you'll fail sometimes but its the only way you'll be happy.
Kevin Russell
Just quit the gym and kill yourself faggot, you got a gf, you're done. You don't need "gainz"
Nathaniel Ross
anyone else's palate changed drastically since changing your eating habits?
there was a period of my life when i ate fucking mozzarella sticks and ben and jerry's every fucking day, and avoided vegetables like the plague. now i fucking love plain shit like spinach, oatmeal, and fiber one cereal.
Anthony Nguyen
Brown rice is definitely inferior to GOAT white rice but you'll get used to it. I used to have the worst white rice eating habits of all time, but now its not an issue
Matthew Ross
Ice creams actually not that bad. I ate like 600 calories today which is like 2 cups worth and ill still be under my TDEE with 3 meals and enough protein for day.
Isaac Smith
Bad advice.
Jason Sullivan
Humans are basically moist robots that can program what they like >tfw already made myself hate the taste of sugar in coffee
Carson Edwards
Oatmeal is delicious and tastes nothing like vegetables
Cameron Butler
YES! I was buying boba tea the other day with a friend and she got this passionfruit flavoring that was so sickeningly sweet and all I got was the slightly sweetened green tea and it was the best. I love not being addicted to sugar
Michael Sanders
i dunno i see people complain about the taste. i eat plain oatmeal with nothing but salt and water and enjoy the taste.
Liam Johnson
Is it wise to do IF like that while working out? I'm worried I'll feel dead after a morning run.
Jordan Evans
It's absolutely perfect advice for someone who lifted to get a gf but doesn't give a shit about maintaining a lifting routine.
Landon Sanchez
no. in that case he should maintain he's composition. if it's the body that got him the gf, changing the body will lose the gf.
Logan Scott
Has the worst texture, like a cross between throw up and baby food.
Luis Wright
maybe I'll start branching out a bit then, starting with fresh veggies.
Wyatt Nguyen
Im sure its kg and I can leave my bed, and have a FT job
James Cox
>tfw i got gum recession in my back teeth and now can't eat sugar even if i wanted to because it burns my receding gumline
Dominic Myers

Jace Hall

Landon Adams
I know. Is why I'm finally making the commitment to lose it. I have reasons it got so high but not excuses its down to me to sort my shit out so I am
James Price
I ride a bike to work 20 km and after that an apple and a coffee carry me until noon. I don't lift but I do bodyweight and my reps are consistently going up.
Grayson Cruz
Rip in peace zyzz.
Lucas Morris
Halo Top ice cream is the fucking truth.
Joseph Cruz
Good luck man
My go to veggies are zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, broccoli, and mushrooms. They're all easy and fit in with a lot of different cuisines.
Cameron Miller
only some of them. some taste great, some taste really fuckin weird, like birthday cake.
Wyatt Green
Keep going brother
Jacob Reed
Yeah. Fortunately I have a few things going for me:
1) I can cook 2) I'm not that overweight in the first place (seriously, I'm impressed at you guys who drop like 100+ pounds) 3) I naturally do IF. Like my natural rhythm is to wake up, not eat anything for hours, then eat later. 4) I grew up liking vegetables and I love meat. I mean I like bread and whatnot but I'm way more protein heavy than carbs given a choice.
So putting together a sustainable permanent diet isn't too big a challenge for me because it's mostly what I want to eat anyway. The hard part is being less lazy and cooking rather than ordering junk food.
Jaxon Nguyen
Haven't tried that one, only vanilla. Being able to slam an entire pint and only spend 250 calories of my daily intake is incredible though.
Charles Martin
All Hail Halo Top. The mocha chip flavor is really fucking good.
