OMAD people how do you wake up in the morning if you don't eat breakfast?
Coffee barely works for me unless I throw a ton of sugar in there (and i'm trying to avoid simple/refined carbs in general on top of IF)
I have to take antihistamines in the morning because they make me both sleepy and unable to actually fall asleep which makes the whole thing significantly worse
Food always wakes me up when I have it but then I stay hungry especially if I eat a normal amount instead of starving
Jason Thompson
Sounds like it might be best for you to eat a small amount in the morning since it helps with the meds. What do you typically have for breakfast? You could do one sustaining meal in the morning and one other meal later in the day. Also, if you take periodic breaks from coffee, your caffeine tolerance will drop and coffee will be more effective.
Asher Bell
Like week or two breaks I mean. Switch to green tea for these periods, and then back to coffee.
Luke Thompson
Have you considered having your single meal in the morning, then fasting whole day though your sleep into the next morning? I read some research recently that might suggest that it's more beneficial to eat big earlier rather than later anyway.
Ryder Lewis
Idk if you have quorn in the USA but 4 quorn sausage rolls are only 184 calories. Good for a snack
Connor Sullivan
Why is /thinspo/ so slow these days?
Camden Morales
I've quite recently become too depressed to move.
Kevin Collins
Ok time to restart for like the 1000th time. I'm so fucking weak
Blake Brooks
I only started drinking coffee recently (a month ago or so) so I don't think I have that high of a tolerance yet
That's what I used to do but now it just makes me hungry for the rest of the day and I end up snacking later and reaching my TDEE, I loose like 1lbs a month
Fasting might just not be for me anymore but I want to try cause I lost the most on omad and LCHF
Brody White
is drinking peppermint tea instead of green tea ok?
Daniel Gutierrez
Any herbal tea has no calories.
Logan Bell
sweet thanks
Hunter Robinson
you can do it, user
just find a pattern that works for you and it'll eventually become habit
Jonathan Carter
Friendly reminder that paying attention to your body, staying flexible, reading up on the science and eating when/what feels natural to you will always be superior than trying to force yourself to eat a specific number of arbitrary units using nothing but your own capricious Will
Owen Walker
It might be a good idea for you to eat a low calorie but fulfilling meal in the day and supplement with omega-3 pills for focus. I recommend sugar free steel cut oats with a small amount of fruit mixed in for flavor.
Kevin Evans
>green tea as a substitute for coffee with caffeine The thing that wakes you up in green tea is also caffeine. If caffeine already isn't working, why would you try to fight your tolerance with another drink that also has caffeine? Drink decaf instead and you'll get better results.
Jeremiah Rogers
You're right. I go with green tea because it still has some caffeine, just significantly less. I have a hard time cutting it out completely, because it helps me start my day. Green tea is a little more gentle on the caffeine, plus it has other good qualities like antioxidants. But your point is totally valid, especially if someone is okay with going cold turkey on caffeine.
/thinspo/ discord, we're fairly active so come join in!
Logan Sanchez
What fruits are good to snack on? Oh, and I am 187cm & 85kg with very high bodyfat%. I'm new to this thinspo stuff so any and all tips are welcome.
Landon Hughes
Apples are the best because they're low cal, high in water, and take a long time to eat thus making you feel more full. Other than that, I'm partial to berries. A cup of strawberries is kind of a lot of food but also pretty low cal and blueberries are just a god tier snack food.
Levi Ramirez
I need to move out. I can't be thinspo if my dad's going to keep turning up with bags of chips or packets of biscuits. All your American food tastes like shit, you've never had to contend with a custard cream.
Does anyone have a good guide for staying flexible? Is there one in the OP? Should I just scroll up?
I'm not gonna; too stiff.
Cameron Green
There's no guide for staying flexible because it means something different for everyone. Basically, eat when you need the energy, take a break from restricting when your cravings get too unbearable (this means staying at/just below maintenance cals, NOT binging), getting into a rhythm of what and when to eat over a period of time, and so on
Nicholas Robinson
Ooaahhh, I meant flexible like touch your toes flexible.
me no reed no gud
Tyler Collins
lmao, never mind then
Cooper Collins
why'd you wanna snack? waste of time for intermittent fasting (IF). baka
Aiden Russell
After a week and a half I got used to no food in the AM and now I don't even want to eat.
Biggest realization intermittent fasting gave me is that eating isn't always the best way to stay satiated. If I eat breakfast, I'm hungrier and 10am than I am if I didn't eat breakfast. Now end of the day I for sure eat more in that last meal than I would if I've been eating all day, but not as much more as you might suspect.
Aaron Nelson
None. They are sugar. Eat very little fruit if you want to lose weight.
Henry Hernandez
You're less hungry because your metabolism is slowing down. You're making it harder to lose weight because your body is trying to be more efficient with its calorie and store more as fat. The way you avoid that is by eating small amounts throughout the day to keep your metabolism regulated. Don't fall for the IF meme. A regular restriction diet and exercise are all you need.
They're sugar, but a good low cal supplement for shit like candy that a lot of people end up bringing on. Also, some art very filling for the amount of calories they have, apples in particular.
Alexander Walker
I always snack, hence me being a fatso. So why not replace snickers with something healthy?
Hunter Hall
just a daily reminder that if you are a guy, you can't just starve yourself, you gotta work out
Jose Garcia
do celery anything else, stay fat
Mason Fisher
Anyone here running a DNP cycle? There's nothing that will make you lose weight faster but it's an industrial fertilizer and will kill you if you take a little too much.
Adrian Turner
If you're used to the sweetness of it, I think you'd make the shift easier if you skip snacks entirely and stay with meals only. Meals, unlike snacks, can have an almost unlimited ceremonial aspect to it, to make it indulgent and satisfactory - unlike snacks. If you're used to it for the constant external supply of blood sugar and fear the dips in between meals, then I also suggest you skip snacking entirely and do meals only. Doesn't take long to get used to. If this all just scares you and you're afraid it will be too cold, boring and famishing, then sure, go ahead and snack. It's true that apples aren't too bad. But when you want to see real progress, and make your exercise efforts really count, then skip the fucking snacks. It's cutting, not bulking. Also, a neat way to prevent the urge to snack is to make sure to incorporate fibers into meals. But I bet you know that.
Aiden Nelson
the guy in your pic isn't thinspo just look at how thick his arms are being thin is long-term, not something where you occasionally lose weight
Ryder Butler
Should I stick with 3 meals a day or 5 smaller ones?
you should use a calorie calculator online and try to stick to a number of calories you're comfortable with (and thats effective of course) by using myfitnesspal or something. would also recommend planning meals beforehand and doing groceries only when full. If you try hardcore fasting or dieting immediately you probably won't keep it up for the long run. good luck user!
Easton Wilson
900kcal starting from today hope i'll make it for summer
Oliver Murphy
is there a risk of dying on a 500 calories diet that lasts one month ? It's holidays so I don't do a lot of activities.
I'm a 164cm girl.
Aaron Reed
everyone's at a risk of dying 24/7
you probably won't die unless you have a medical condition or are severely underweight
Isaiah Lewis
>stand up >nearly pass out anyone else?
Kayden Smith
No risk of dying but you're going to be low on nutrients will feel like shit.
Sebastian Morris
always :(
Dominic Flores
aahh, 22 minutes to eat 1007kcal or MFP will shout at me again!
Jose Morgan
No but you'll be hungry and tired all the time

Alexander Green
I prefer one real meal which is dinner, and a small one in the 10 o clock break at uni. Apart from that, I'm all about coffee with milk. Occasionally I get something in between, but I always plan not to have any so that if for some reason I end up having something anyway, it's okay because I made room for it, you know? Plan for 700 kcal a day so to have room for 300 unexpected. Also, IF.
Carson Garcia
how long does it take to burn 1700 calories
Jeremiah Jackson
One-thousand-seven-hundred calorinhos.
Aiden Robinson
depends what you do
Cooper Fisher
The way I'd address it is to eat at a 600 calorie deficit for three days. Add some exercise on top of that for gravy, but unless you're running a marathon don't even count the exercise calories.
Joshua Adams
be alive for 20-30 hours depends on your weight
Evan Sanders
holy shiy clothes are heavy and here I was freaking out when they were weighing me at the psych
Ethan Rodriguez
i feel rlly good about my diet, just started a strict daily routine, bit of exercise and restricting heavy, it's like a test of my will power, feel stronk at the end of the day. dropped 30lbs still 70+ to go
Joshua Walker
nah take multivitamins and drink coffee. you may feel lightheaded and tired at first but you'll b good. exercise and a lot bigger than u @400 calories. good luck w the cravings or w/e
Grayson Young
one day, u can be stationary and eat little or eat under maintenance and exercise heavily. your tdee is almost definitely 1700+ so you could probably lose more in a day if u want
Benjamin Powell
im trying to maintain but i only ate ~100 kcals counting the ones burned from exercise today and i dont feel hungry should i eat?
Kevin Cox
>trying to maintain Yes you should eat at maintenance...
Tyler Bell
only eat when you're hungry, it's that simple
Austin Clark
HOLY FUCK HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Brayden Hill
Phen will save you from tears user >tfw finally killed hunger and fasting is an easy mode now thank you phentermine
Jason Sullivan
If you want to enter fasting mode asap after a meal, should you opt for white bread rather than whole grain/rye bread since the energy in white bread is obtained some 4 times sooner than whole grain?
Been on 100mg past week, will start 200mg for next two weeks since I haven't seen any adverse reactions. Conservative amounts I know but, I mean, it's for bodybuilders, and taking it to go from skinnyfat to thin isn't exactly what the normal dosages are for
John Brown
There needs to be a dating site for thin people. You have to be below a certain bmi to use it.
Jose Russell
Keto IF Adderall
ezpz
Nicholas Bell
what up ribs lol
Christopher Hernandez
Ive been doing omad for a few weeks now at massive deficite, and i feel like my results are starting to be offset by the fact that im shitting like once a week. What can i eat to poop more often? Would just dropping omad be the answer?
Thomas Lewis
Whats omad? One meal a day?
Just eat more fibre and drink water. Have a coffee if you want to speed things along.
Nathaniel Lewis
'Tis.
Wyatt Lopez
fiber >vegetables >whole grains >ground flax seed the last one is essentially pure fiber. When I was doing keto I added it to my eggs
Jackson Foster
whats the ideal /thinspo/ weight for a 5'4 manlet?
a report function or something, fatties would stay away to avoid the humiliation
Jace Reed
how much should i lose /thinspo/? i'm 5'4 & 110lbs i was thinking of getting to 100 and toning up idk.
Angel Cox
Sounds reasonable
Are you taking that pic at an angle though, it looks distorted af
Brody Ross
yeah i only have a cheap dorm mirror it's kinda the best i can get. plus my proportions are Bad
Nathaniel Lee
Yeah I can see that, looks like you're triangle shaped? Deff need to tone you rupper body and torso
Kevin Rivera

Jacob Collins
It'd be destroyed by sjws in a week
Isaiah Cox

Christopher Jones

Gabriel Butler

Colton Sanders

Jonathan Roberts

Evan Phillips

Isaiah Perez
this is a stupid question, but when something says: >fats XXg >of which saturates XXg the fat content would be total fat minus the saturated fats, right? or do you total them both?
