/FLG/ fat loss general

Doesn't sound all that hard. I already log my weight every morning after I take my morning and log every single calorie from food and drink in mfp. Would I need to log neck, chest and waist measurements then? Are you using excel or something else for the calculations?

Judging by visuals I'd say around 15-17%. Can't post a pic right now since I'm at work.

Just found my post in an archived cbt

How much should I cut before switching to maintenance?

I've been looking for healthy BF% and shit but I couldn't find anything relevant

I'm 81kg, 12% BF and 188cm but I still feel like my ass and thighs are fat.

I was 96kg before I started mid january and I feel great btw

There's no clear cut way of saying what's the healthiest bodyfat but some older research suggests as long as you don't go below 8% or above 19% it shouldn't affect your health in a negative way. You're in the right range so go by what you think looks and feels best to you.

great, I guess I'll keep cutting down to 8-10% and just deal with the body dysmorphia if it doesn't work

how do I do intermittent fasting ?

let's say I wake up at 11am, when do I start eating and how long ?

No, weight and calories consumed is enough. I'm using R to do the calculations. I pasted the script here: pastebin.com/JEfbnc1y
12% is healthy, and quite decent looking. Anything around 10% should still be healthy.
Already looks nice, work on your rounded upper back and you'll look 100% better without loosing any fat.

why would you do it? it's a meme.

People usually do 16/8, 16 hours fasting and 8 hours eating.
You can choose yourself where you want to place your feeding windows. You for example could eat Lunch around 12 and eat dinner at 8pm and then eat nothing until lunch next day.
Might help with weight loss, might not but it most definitely is more satsfying since you eat more calories per meal and easier to prepare since it's fewer meals and it's easier to place more carbs around your workout for more energy since that's the only time when you eat anyways.

you wait 16 hours from your last meal until you eat. So if you eat dinner at 8pm then at midday the next day is your next meal

A lot of people find its a great way to diet as they find it easier as you dont feel as hungry, if you dont find fasting too hard.

As a previous hamplanet I think it's the wrong way to diet. It does not force you to change your lifestyle and stop binge eating. You should do what normal people do. Eat few normal meals per day, and not gorge yourself until your belly hurts. That way you have a higher chance of maintaining your new weight.
But that's just my opinion.

I get that, making things easier isnt always the best thing to do it. But keep in mind other people are different and have different starting points.

Im kinda skinnyfat so im used to eating around my requirement just not good food or lifestyle. So its not really that bad for me. Also the other user made some good points about ease of preparation and counting calories.

I agree, if it does not reinforce bad habits then why not

nice, post pics

is anyone else more depressed now that they've lost all the weight? I find i was miserable about myself but not about everything else, now i find I'm happy with the way i look and feel but i hate everything else

Yeah, it's a familiar feeling. I reccomend reading psycho-cybernetics by Maltz (you are a robot after all, aren't you?) and in general getting into mindfulness/meditation. Meditation can actualy be neatly combined with weightlifting, and helps a lot.

Lil chub I'm working on

I don't have a before because I was too embarrassed of myself

How do you know if you are losing body fat and not water weight? I'm at a 500 calorie deficit and I feel weak and tired. Is this normal?

you'll get rid of it soon enough, good luck!
how long are you on the deficit and how much weight did you loose? do you know for sure it's 500kcal?

thanks user, just downloaded it

>How do you know if you are losing body fat and not water weight?
No way to tell really, but you can make an effort to measure your weight under the same conditions every day. I like to do it in the morning after my morning dumb and before consuming any food or water.
>I'm at a 500 calorie deficit and I feel weak and tired. Is this normal?
Yes and no. Some people get really tired or lethargic when they are eating at a deficit for the first time in their life. Might have to prepare some better meals. Make sure to eat complex carbs to fuel you with constant energy instead of simple sugars or refined flours, which often leave you tired after a short amount of time. Also, don't forget to get enough fats.
