Last Thread Who is /fat/ for?: Fat members of Veeky Forums who want to learn how to eat right, lift weights, and lose fat.

Any suggestions on what to do when you're hungry but have nothing to do? I was thinking of downloading some Emulators.
I've been doing a pretty weird cut, i it's a mix of keto and iifym (bare with me here)
So what i do is reach my protein goal eating lean proteins, that's normally somewhere around 500-600 calories, then i just eat whatever the fuck i want to fill the 30g of carbs i can eat everyday to stay in keto
I like to indulge on peanut butter, cookies (some cookies have like 6g carbs per cookie) a hotdog, a sandwich (each slice has 15g carbs) etc. On average i eat around 900 calories a day, and yes i'm taking my vitamins so i don't pass out.
I don't have a problem with binging, but i don't have the willpower to not treat myself a little everyday, i still should be losing a ton of weight right?

gotta train dem social gains while we can, i started with little things like forcing myself to make conversation with cashiers, taxi drivers, etc. They don't even have to be cute girls
I look at myself 3 years ago and i can't believe how much of a pussy my anxiety made me
Michael Robinson
I just abused Adderall for 5 months. Dropped 95lb plus with all that energy I busted ass at the gym. By the end of that five months I was had the aesthetics of a Greek statue.
>pro tip: amphetamines
Cameron Howard
at 900 cals a day you'll be losing weight unless you're like a girl who weighs 100 lbs
Evan Wilson

Jose Edwards
>80lbs lost >Completely break down this weekend >Tons of booze, pizza, ice cream, Cheetos, and candy Probably ruined 2-3 weeks of cutting desu and it was worth every second. Back at it today.
Nathaniel Moore
Too much carbs to stay in Leto, I'm betting you aren't really losing. It's a very bad diet overall.
Jason Collins
>Probably ruined 2-3 weeks of cutting desu fucking how much did you eat?
Sebastian Edwards
3 bloody Mary's, 3 Long island iced teas, 2 rum and cokes. Some other whiskey drink I don't remember. Entire large pizza to myself. 2 large bags of flaming hot Cheetos. 3 pints of ice cream. One large bag of watermelon sour patch. Large bag of tortia chips with a big tub of salsa. One BBQ Fritos with a tub of cream cheese for dip.
Ayden Morris
i thought most people recommended eating 20-25g a day to stay on keto? some people even go up to 50g and claim their keto stix still shows positive
i was doing 30 because it felt like a good middle ground, i actually lost 60lbs in like 5 months doing this last year, (psmf of 1200 calories a day, but 0 carbs) but decided to take a break from it since i didn't want to do it long term, went from 330 to 270 in 6 months, then just watched my calories for another 5 months, got to 250, and now i'm trying to start the cycle again with a little different approach (eating 30g of carbs of whatever i want). I guess i'll see if it works this Wednesday on my first weight in
Ayden Foster
>i actually lost 60lbs in like 5 months So you were able to lose 2-3 lbs a week? Was that consistent weight loss?
Also what did you do besides just Keto and Calorie restriction?
Gavin Jenkins
Besides keto i lifted 2 times a week and did some hiking every day of the week (not on weekends)
well i was heavy as fuck so don't be surprised. And it was pretty consistent, i stopped when i got chickenpox and almost died (never let that shit hit you in your mid 20s), the doctors went all bananas when i told them about my diet and i was pretty tired of eating chicken everyday too so i just decided to do a small deficit of 400cals for the next 5 months, but now i'm feeling pretty good again so i'm down for it. But desu i'm probably just gonna lift now and see how it goes
Jason Cook
Forgive me fit, I have sinned.
I ate about 250g of brie cheese today. Plus about 700g of grapes.
I was so close to the end of my cut.. why Veeky Forums ??
Joshua Bell
/fat/ here. 13th day counting calories. Down 3lbs last week. Next weigh in is on Wednesday.
Hoping to keep the progress up, its still one day at a time and manual effort not to fuck this up.
Robert Barnes
So how is IIFYM any different than just counting calories?
Owen Thompson
For gaining/losing weight, it's not
Levi Reed
Depends how you look at.
If you are just counting calories then i suppose you dont care to much about your protein/carb/fat rato just that your overall consumption of calories is below or at your goal
IIFYM is similar in that, you have 1800 calories, for example, and that with those calories.... Your macros of prot/carb/fat are going to be consumed at specific ratios.

Julian Garcia
Hit 300lbs on my squats on Saturday. Nearly hit 315 lbs but failed 3/4's of the way back up. Up 100lbs since I started 6 weeks ago. Feeling pretty good lads.
Luis Torres
Starting low carb and low calorie today along with weight training and cardio 5 days a week. Did it before and lost 7 lbs in first week, trying to stay on it this time.
Juan Lewis
throw out anything bad. really go strict with it
Eli Gray
Oh I have, but I'm pretty much done for calories for the day, but i could get up and make a big ass sandwich for no reason other than to eat.
I know I shouldn't - it is just taking conscious effort not to.
I can't get over this, I feel like I should be going to the gym now.
Adrian Thompson
ive noticed that consuming 10g of sugar or less a day has helped me lose weight considerably
likely because it requires you to basically eat no sweets at all.
William Lewis
you're welcome guys. the best way to treat feeling hungry when you can't or shouldn't be eating is fat people hate threads.

/mil/ fag here. Femanon 20 5'5" and hitting 130lbs Ive found myself to start to loose my metabolism. Im not too bad right now but im for sure gaining weight and i want to nip this in the bud before things get out of hand. I want simular results but i get drug tested every month. Im only reserves so its once a month i do anything with the army. In my civi life i work like a dog and i have zero time to work out. Granted i do try when i get a chance and eat pretty healthy but its not doing anything.
Suggestions on loosing roughly 15-20 lbs?
Justin Smith
>milfag >reserves
Haha. No.
Adam Ross
oh no you're right where you were 4-5 days ago tops
so what? you've been losing weight for a lot longer than 4-5 days
Nicholas Ross
lol reserves
Just getting that out of the way.
Find your TDEE and eat under it.
Charles Bell
I hate my body but I'm an emotional eater. I need help to distract myself from food

Only 15 more pounds to go... Kill me.
Levi Bell
No to what
Alexander Reed
if you track your kcals enough, you should be able to get a pretty damn decent estimate of just about any meal looking at it.
know your tdee, avoid super calorie dense shit like sugar, trans fats and just aim to be under your tdee.
Levi Jones
you're fat and hungry because you eat fat.dairy and stuff...
eat pasta and rice if you want to lose weight
Ayden Gutierrez
more lbs down in two months damn, how?
Hudson Nguyen
Meme diet that literally kills you
Carter Ramirez
>eat pasta and rice if you want to lose weight
gyaaaa no
Nicholas Gutierrez
How in fucking Christ can you eat that way???
Angel Bennett
Stop eating your feelings. Eat when hungry. Do a few 24 hour fasts to re-learn to tell 'actually hungry' from emo-eating. Read the sticky of just eat 1200-1500 calories per day if you have more than 30 pounds to lose. Do some kind of exercise every day or every other day. It's that simple to start.
Gavin Gray
That made me hungry, fuck you.
Jacob Howard
Well, are you? If so then ride on, crazy bug. If not, try eating sensibly for an actual keto diet and ditch bread and cookies. You don't need a food treat every day, you aren't a dog.
Julian Smith
Fucking keto and IF, dude. I'm chugging bronkaid too, eating around -900? I'm a sadist but if I remained how I was I'd have killed myself.
Remember yesterday, suffer today, live tomorrow.
Angel Evans
Can someone please tell a fatbro what all these acronyms like IIFYM and TDEE mean? I keep seeing all these terms in fatty threads and I'm lost
Kayden Allen
Eat less. 1200 calories per day, try low carb, it's not as hard/draining as keto if you are working a lot of hours.
Dominic Butler
You are not a milfag because you dress up as a soldier and play pretend for 4 weekends out of the year.

Well according to myfatness app I ate under 600 calories today. Pretty good day for me, despite not exercising.

ya'll got progress pics?

I've been trying to get to 180 lbs for the past 2 month, but it seems impossible to lose that last 10-20 lbs
Grayson Collins
Im scared user
I just want to be thin already.
I thought the Navy could help me with that, but theyve been doing the fucking opposite and literally hindering my ability to get into better shape ever since I left boot camp.
I just want to be thin and beautiful already. Im so close but so so so far.
Samuel Brooks
holy shit I look almost exactly as your former self. Not as hairy though. 1.5 years? I can do that. Wish me luck fitbro
Hunter Murphy
Nice man. You don't look like you were 280 in that top pic, I would have guessed you were much less than that, but its never easy to guess weights
Landon Lewis

Josiah Cruz
I'll take the triple bypass. Oh, and no bun please, I'm losing weight with a low carb diet.
Liam Ramirez
You should try body recomp program
Brody Walker
You can do it bud. Just take it one day at a time. I believe in you.
yeah my co-workers think I'm 160 lbs right now, even though I'm 200 lbs. It's kind of annoying because when I tell them I still want to lose 10-20 more pounds, they tell me I have body dismorphia or something -__-
Jose Watson
we can do it, user.
270-200 in 1 year, I've been trying to get to 190 off and on for about 5 months now to no avail.
Hudson Kelly
thats because theyre normies and theyre trying to hold you back from greatness.
Oliver Martin
this actually makes sense, feed all the fat fucks, punish them by spanking them and now they are conditioned to feel pain whenever they eat.
he's essentially getting rich and saving all the fat fucks. he's like jesus.

Aaron Brooks
How exactly does Intermittent Fasting work? I always skip breakfast and don't eat until 11-ish. Then I typically eat dinner about 5-6. I rarely snack after that. So aren't I technically already doing it?
I was just wondering because I didn't think that it helped with my appetite or losing weight.
Lucas Miller
sounds like you are pretty much doing it already. I have an 8 hour eating window myself from 12pm-8pm. So I don't eat breakfast or past 8.
Dylan Gray
Surely not in one sitting. That sounds like one hell of a drunken binge eat! >typical Caturday night
Matthew Morales
>280lbs to 159lbs in a year >not even actively trying to lose the weight anymore >can't stop losing weight just on my own now Help. Not eating any differently than i have been for months now, is my body just naturally getting me to the weight i should be at 5'10" or what.

nice, height and how long?
Bentley Phillips
How'd those stretchmarks fade? Any loose skin?
Owen Cooper
To everyone doing keto stop. Just do 0 carb. So much easier. Every day before I go to bed I cook 2 cornish game hens and eat them for the next day. Around 1600 total calories and it keeps me full.
Dropping weight like a crack head.
Nathaniel Green
159 is a little low for someone who lifts
...do you lift
Owen Powell
Need to work on wearing something other than short sleeve T's when outside, homeboy. Otherwise nice.
Joshua Taylor
5'11, going on 10 months almost
Stretchmarks faded nicely and there is a little loose skin, only noticeable if I bend over it gets a little wrinkley looking, it will probably tighten with time. I used a bunch of elastin firming lotion and Vit E oil 3 times a day, idk how much that had an effect though.

What I want to know is how to keep the weight off. Easily summed up 3 years ago I had a 270 bench, weighed 190. Now these are reversed.
Why does life hit so hard?
Jeremiah Sullivan
Who /maintaining/ here?
Is it hard to keep your goal weight after losing a substantial amount? I don't think I'll balloon the way I did a few years ago, since that was mostly due to a long time living the "college lifestyle", so I think it was a fluke that I got so fat in the first place. In a way, I'm actually kind of relieved that I'm more of a boring person these days and can move on being a normal, healthy adult

Help me get back on track, anons.
Gavin Kelly
How much should someone who lifts weigh at 510 or 511?
Noah Morgan
Yo. I put on about 8 pounds over the last 2ish months so now I'm going on a mini cut. Should drop the weight in about 10 or so days.
Elijah Nelson
I made a deal with the devil. I used to be Veeky Forums. I made it. Own home. Bringing in 12k a month after taxes. No debt. Easy job. But I lost my fitness. Don't make excuses. Get fit now.

I-its just a road block r-right brehs
Im currently down to 206-209 after about a month and a half of getting back on my diet.
I figure I have about 20lbs til I look like a normal dude, 30 or 40 before I start looking hot.
I-itll be w-worth it right brehs?
Surely all my pain and suffering hasnt been for no reason h-haha right?
I just want to be thin already.
It feels so shitty being closer than I ever have been, stronger than I ever have been, but still so so so far away from being attractive.

James Ross
just hang in there. it will all work out in the end
Levi Watson
So how many of you actually answer questions and add input to others asking for help? Is it a universal rule to not answer something simple if the sticky answers it?
What if I asked something like what the general idea of losing weight is? It's to burn more calories than we eat basically but let's say you eat just the right amount of calories to keep losing and you do a 300 calorie burn workout, what does that mean? do people mostly just do the jogs and walks to make sure they don't go over what they need to eat in order to keep losing weight or can you practically get away with no exercise for months while keeping an exact diet and not breaking for the entire time?
Just curious
I know you want me to read the sticky a second time after asking this but I just want to know if everything I read here gets trumped by the sticky? You guys have had progress so I'd just feel more comfortable hearing it from you.
Grayson Myers
Tons of fat fucks on fit. Word of advice. Only drink water/juice.
Eat oats with no suger
Eat original greek yoghurt Otherwise gtfo u fat shit
