Veeky Forums can you explain to my fat friend how a cut works he is 290, and only eats 600 cal a day...

Because he won't lose in two days, he won't in two weeks and will probably notice small loses after two months.

He is only fucking this up though, he is not eating properly and not working out muscles, and the body will only take this as starvation, hence cortisol (also know as our gains goblin) will go up as fuark and start eating your muscles to make energy for your brain. It will eat also a bit of fat but considering he's fat as fuck, he won't even notice it. After two weeks of small ammount of protein, calories and no working out your muscle will start to go away.

Remember, our body is made to save organs and not muscle. The correct way to lose fat is to work out, eat properly, eat protein and drink water and all that shit that it's in the sticky.

>he only eats 600 cal a day

no he doesn't. lol

First of all, he's lying about his calorie intake.
And you are a fucking idiot.

There is no such thing as starvation mode.
If he was eat 600cals a day then he would be losing 2+lbs a week.

So he is lying about his intake.
He's probably not counting drinks, not looking at calories, etc etc.

me on the left

No you didn't. No it didn't.

I'm not going to shit all over you, but I'm just gonna say you did something incorrectly. You either didn't track your calories correctly or you overestimated your TDEE.

If you're losing weight every week at a certain amount of calories, but it isn't as much as you want to be losing, eat a little less.

He's lying to you, lying to himself, or you're baiting.

I'm a filthy fucking Native American who can't control his urge to gamble, so I can't help but bet on the fact that you're baiting us.

Your friend needs to consult a physicist.

1. Have your friend calculate his TDEE by using an online calculator. This is maintenence weight.
2. Download MyFitnesPal app and start tracking calories. Do this for a week having him eat at maintenance so he can learn what proper portions look like.
3. Now take his TDEE and subtract 500 from it.
4. This is now his healthy "cut" daily calorie goal
5. Track calories and keep up the cut while exercising
6. Weight loss made easy, as long as you don't lie to yourself.

If your metabolism slows you have less calories out. It's not OK to be this autistic in public user.

>only eats 600 cal a day,
Yeah, sure. I wish I had a $100 every time I heard a fat person say this. My obese co-workera claimed the same. I then tracked what they ate for lunch daily. Their average caloric intake for lunch was 1800. That's not counting them eating breakfast when they arrived and the snacks they munch on throughout the day.

where do the calories go, user?

>290 and only eats 600 cal a day

i guess he is also a liar then

>muh metabolism
mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/expert-answers/slow-metabolism/faq-20058480
Most fat people have higher metabolisms since the body needs more energy to maintain itself.

70% of consumed calories body uses just to maintain its warm blooded temperature, other big parts go for brain and other organs. And ofcourse some because of moving,
Basicaly when youre starving yourself body switches to emergency saving mode

>only 600 cal

Why he lying tho

>He is seriously falling for the "starvation mode" myth!!!!

If your body's metabolism slows down you'll feel tired, have less body heat etc, could lower your daily expenditure by up to 800. Calories aren't going anywhere your body just isn't using them, so you get fatter. This is why you shouldn't be retarded and eat 250 calories a day.

Less calories burned means more weight gained, this is why diets that starve you don't work. You must eat enough to prevent starvation and meet macros but less than your daily calorie expenditure.

I lost 40 lbs in 2 months by eating the same shit and increasing my metabolism and working out, didn't lose a gram of muscle.

I'm 175 and cutting at 1200, your friend is lying

Are you actually this retarded, or are you just pretending? I'm genuinely curious.

If you've found a way to maintain body weight with less calories than it takes to maintain them, then you need to get on the phone with SOMEONE and get a paper published ASAP. You could fucking end world hunger. How can you sleep at night knowing that hundreds of thousands of people are dying of starvation, and millions more are suffering every waking our of their lives while you sit and reap the benefits of this genetic mutation?

how do you increase your metabolism aside exercise?

I didnt fucking said maintain weight you twathole
ofcourse youre gonna lose but not as effectivelly in the long run as on not so drastic caloric deficit you retarded imbecile

>yourself body switches to emergency saving mode
There isn't an "emergency saving mode" aka "starvation mode". It's a myth.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment

Doesn't matter, metabolism slows when you starve yourself, regardless of weight. Need to bring it back up to lose faster. Or cut more calories and lose muscle in addition to fat.

>how do you increase your metabolism aside exercise?

Just avoid foods that slow it down, eat tons of meals with little food in them, 6+ a day. Your body won't think it's starving if you're giving it 200 calories every 2-3 hours. In fact it'll think it's being flooded with food, despite you only eating 1400 or less each day.

your link to article gives answer that there IS drop in metabolism aka emergency mode

Oh, you're still telling me that you've slowed the process of weight loss, then? Effectively cutting the amount of calories one WOULD need to eat to maintain body weight if they're currently starving?

Jesus fucking CHRIST you seriously still need to get a paper about this published. There are loads of starving people all over the world that I'm sure would be fucking ecstatic to learn that their bodies are lying to them and they're not suffering from sever malnutrition and complications caused by being severely underweight. All they need to do is believe in "starvation mode"!

JESUS BE PRAISED HALLELUJAH!

It's actually fairly well known that the nazis didn't technically starve the Jews, they just kept them at around 1200 calories a day to prevent starvation mode. Eventually you become pic related. Had they eaten nothing starvation mode would have kept them sluggish but fairly plump.

No

holy shit, my autism radar if off the charts mate.
AND yes you are slowing weight loss in the LONG RUN because your metabolism slows the fuck down

You're aware of what happens when you lose weight, right?

If you're starving then your metabolism has already slowed itself as low as it will go. Starvation mode is a meme because metabolism doesn't suddenly drop, it drops gradually.

what's metabolism, user? how does it slow down?

You have yet to produce a shred of evidence from a peer reviewed study stating what you're saying is correct. Yet there are tens of thousands of people who restrict their caloric intake to lose weight every year.

Starving yourself is bad for you. It puts a LOT of stress on your body, and you become exceedingly unhealthy, but "starvation mode" is a myth.

>only eats 600 cal a day, but not losing weight

He's cheating, or not measuring portions properly

It doesn't slow down, your TDEE just drops as you weight drops.

LOL

Oh, honey. Let me tell you about a theory called YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG

Metabolism is the rate of chemical reactions in your body. Dehydration, caramel coloring, not exercising, and eating single, large meals lowers it.

Starvation mode is a meme because it doesn't burn fat faster, just like fasting and other idiotic fads.

Your metabolism can actually drop in a matter of hours. Some hormones are supposed to do it at night and morning, and this is what people does to "up their metabolism", they actually just fuck up with cortisol, ACTH, TSH, T4, insuline and even HGH in some cases.

What doesn't drop until a couple of weeks is body fat, muscle mass and water retention. Losing weight is something that naturally needs to take it's time so the body can actually adjust to the new needs without activating the so called starvation mode.

Yeah user I agree with you.

...

These effects are accompanied with severe mental effects as well though.

It seems there's a starvation mode, eventually. But if you more or less feel like your normal self you haven't hit it yet.

...in fact, some of them would actually have ballooned in weight due to their genetics, right? A phenomenon observed in Ethiopia in the 80s and 90s where we saw all those morbidly obese Ethiopians dead from starvation.

Please stop posting.

Do you guys not read the sticky on purpose? Or do you just like being clueless?

Here's what you can do for your friend.
