Daily reminder at the end of the day, only calorie intake matters
Prev thread: Who is /fat/ for? Fat members of Veeky Forums who want >Lose weight >Get a more Veeky Forums body by lifting weights >Autistically change your diet to some ultra vegetable no sweets autism because extremism is always good am i right ;^) Here we ask others for advice and give moral support to one another if you are too weak to survive solo. We all know losing weight when you are fat is easy if you just reduce calorie intake, literally piece of cake. At the end of the day this is a support general whose goal is to help and motivate the chubby channers who need to lose weight for a number of reason. Please be warned that there are some chronic idiots who post in this general giving horrible advice to troll or to reassure their extremist autism works for themselves, dont bother, always remember calorie intake, if it is lesser than how many calories your body burns you ll be fine. And remember, if you are a loser when fat you ll still be a loser if you are thin, your weight isnt the problem.

Some motivation without a gastricbypass Dr.now would be proud
Bronkaid doesn't have enough ephedrine so you need to take a lot. a fatty like him will have a heart attack from it.
Logan Jackson
What's a good goal weight for me? I'm 6'0. Currently 234, started 280. Still over 30% bodyfat.
160 too low? I'm talking about nothing but lean weight, I've seen people my height at around 180 and their flabby and disgusting.
Nathaniel Allen
use the TDEE calc

NO WOJAK FAKE THREAD ABORT ABORT ABORT
Cameron Perez
Calc says 160-177. Around what I was thinking.
Blake Baker
Yeah it is accurate if you are overweight, the TDEE need BODY FAT else it is wrong.
Tdee calculates with normal body fat around 20%, most fat people are around 40%.
Just test the difference between 20% and 40% body fat, the difference in calorie TDEE is fucking huge.

Stay fat.
Joseph Edwards
You are the one who ll stay fat with your autsim
Nolan Smith
m-muh calories
Mason King
M8, whenever you like it or not that is the plain truth.
Body requires X amount of calories to go on every day You eat X-(500 to 1200) Body has to get calories from fat reserves You lose weight.
Playing around with other shit are just small changes, they arent worth the effort.
Blake Rivera
I've been noticing that ever since the new Dr. Fung science has been hitting the board these fat generals are specifically themed as calories in calories out.
Now, calories in and calories out is complete bull shit if you don't consider insulin sensitivity. You will not lose weight if you don't incorporate a fasting period and lay off the carbs.
OP, I suspect malicious intent. That or you are extremely bull headed. Either way, fuck you.
Oliver Carter
And i dont do fasting
Landon Collins
i was thinking of fasting for 48 hours, what would the ideal days be though? rest days? wont i need the proteins to recover?
James Brown
Congratulations, you've lost 10 pounds of water weight.
If you cut your calories and don't fast then your body will lower its metabolism. You will lower your calories, your body will compensate with lowering the metabolism and your weight will plateau and you will feel like shit.
Counting. Calories. Does. Not. Work. If you don't incorporate a >12 fasting period between your last and first meal of the day. Processed carbohydrates will give you type 2 diabetes, make you insulin resistant, and addicted to sugars, breads, and cereals.
Juan Sanchez
>10 pounds >pounds lmao it is kilos lol
But please, tell me about those 22pounds of water weight ;^)
Charles Morgan
20% or more of your TDEE is physical activity. So it's not like your energy expenditure is going to be stable at any weight.
Henry Perez
Sorry dude, I'd love to help you with your question but I'm literally out the door. Helping my father with some renovation. You can peruse this thread for help. I'll be back later tonight.

Don't cry to me when you plateau and rebound to your original weight. Aight peace I'll bbl.
Michael Myers
Oh your a fasting shill, now i get it.
Ryder Evans
thanks bro!
Adam Carter
Fung says controversial shit on purpose. Controversy means more publicity.
Of course calorie counting is useful. Gym bros have been cutting weight with just calorie restriction for ages. They continue controlling their calories after losing the weight and their metabolic rate recovers gradually with lifting and increasing calories. People on Veeky Forums have been doing it successfully for years. It's pretty clear that non-gym-going normies are just doing it wrong by overeating after they end their diet.
I'm willing to believe that things like alternate day fasting could be more effective and could reduce or even eliminate metabolic rate slowdown. But it's hardly the case that calorie restriction doesn't work at all or that you can't keep the weight off permanently. It works and you can. Spouting contrarian hyperbole is just counterproductive, if what you really want is to promote the practice of fasting.
Christopher Allen
Come visit Canada, go to GNC, ask for ephedrine, buy as many pure hcl tabs as you want, smuggle it back to mcburgerworld
Bentley Moore
is it getting warmer? I can't feel it
Juan Brown
On the TDEE calculator, what do I put for activity level? I lift weights 3 times a week, so would that be Moderate?
Austin Morgan
Any fellow /fat/ Bros that are on a long, hard, dedicated path to cutting should add me on MFP.
Would love people to progress with or even compete against. We're all gonna make it brahs, good luck

Started 280 a month and a half ago, currently 265 ish. Weigh in day tomorrow, I only weigh once per week (every Sunday morning)

Jose Wood
i started at 290 2 weeks ago. didnt weigh myself this week yet
Charles Stewart
You guys really need to rethink the 500 calorie deficit for fat people. This is a deficit that should be practiced when you're low body fat and trying to prevent muscle loss. At overweight and obese ranges you can safely have a much higher defect.
Levi Diaz
Yeah, a lot of anons here cut pretty low. The pasta is just for idiots who don't know anything.
Juan Ross
I agree, but you need to work up to it.
Started at a -250 just to get used to counting calories and kept slowly increasing it while losing weight at a more or less constant right.
Around -1000 now pretty comfortably.
Jayden Price
I cut at -2000 most days of the week and don't eat for 2 days. Muscle loss is a meme, especially when your bmi is over 30.
At 250 you don't need any calories aside from maybe 100g of protein and some vitamin supplements.
Camden Brown
Is 700 to 800 calories a day too little? I'm 6'4 and 270 pounds and pretty much only eat pork loin chops and canned tuna and whatever my gf makes for dinner, and it usually rounds to 800 calories a day. I do around 10 minutes of cali a day, and some bicep curls and that's about it.
Ryder Smith
>Muscle loss is a meme it's not, but when you're really overweight you can cut pretty low without issue. Some scot guy fasted for 1 year, got checked out by a doctor weekly and was fine.
If you're not obese cutting that low can do permanent metabolic damage after an extended period.
Eli Cox
I went from 280>200 in about 4-5 months. Losing about 5 lbs/week starting. Eating like you've been eating. I felt 100% fine, lifted 3days/week.
I got constipated, though. After 3 weeks I was able to shit 2-3 pebbles. 3-4 weeks after that I went to the ER and had an enema.
Filled up 2 toilets, worse pain I've ever experienced. Embarrassing. Eat more, get some fucking fiber for the love of god.
Adam Nelson
i do the same thing at 280, mainly due to not having food in the house and not being hungry. only got fat due to depression in a bad relationship a few years ago
Jace Torres
Sorry, I meant it's a meme when you're obese. Obviously you can't cut that low if you're not.
Levi Rivera
Just wanted to clarify so some dumbass doesn't fuck himself up.
Matthew Harris
weird, i lift 5 days a week and do cardio every single day and ive only lost 6 lb in 2 weeks. im ony getting 900 to 1k cal a day too
Parker Anderson
>only lost 6 lb in 2 weeks 6lb is 2 weeks is pretty good. How much do you weigh?
Mason Price
ur eating way more than that m8.
i wasnt losing weight for 3 days straight cuz i overate every time.
Xavier Brooks
I was eating a bit less then you and spent the year prior building up endurance and muscle in a weights class. Had probably a bigger bmr then you. But yeah, be careful with that fiber. Docs never seen anyone as constipated as me, worried that my intestines could've burst.
Carter Sanders
286
Ryder Bailey
Seems a little low then. What have you been eating? You sure you're tracking calories correctly?
Austin Rivera
How many strawberries can i eat per day?
William Evans
mp im really not, 2 eggs for breakfast, for lunch its either nothing but water ( not by choice ) or a sandwich wrap roughly 200+cal and a sparkling water if im lucky, and for dinner 1 cup rice + whatever meat usually chicken, but last two nights it was pork and a cabbage salad with lemon, at night i drink a hot tea no sugar
Dylan Rogers
More than your stomach can hold.
Henry Allen
So I've been doing IF for a while, simple 8:16 split
For people who do IF, have you tried changing up the window in which you can eat? Have you had better luck with 8:16 or 1:23?
Michael Richardson
me again, i do have really bad sleeping, i usually get like 3 or 4 hours here and there, today i didnt even know what day it was, i thought it was sunday, and for a guy my weight my stomach is HUGE ive seen other people my height and weight with a gut much smaller
Asher Allen
whats your stance on LCHF
Daniel Edwards
Have you lifted in the past?
I've lifted on and off for years and after 6 months of not lifting I started hitting the gym hard again. I've been on a similar super low calorie diet but since I started going to the gym again my weight loss stopped. I have very noticeable change in muscle size and I think it's due to my body filling muscles back up with water like they are when you lift regularly. Hoping this effect will subside and I can go back to the steady weight loss I had before.
Carson Williams
fuck i misread your post nvm
Juan Diaz
Your genetics affect your fat storage. It's also what you were eating before, probably a lot of soda and other things high in simple carbs.
I'm not really sure how much sleep affects fat loss. You should really try eating 1 meal a day with as little carbs as possible.
Look up the two compartment problem by dr fung.
Luis Watson
I hope your 295
Jack Myers
i didn't lift but i got a shit ton of cardio via bike riding which stopped 5 years ago then i ballooned up, women are evil, prior to that relationship i maintained 250 since the age of 19 till 28 and im 33 now, my legs are pretty strong but my upper body is weak
my diet before i decided to get off my ass and do something consisted of the same dinners, but tons of soda and lunch used to consist of carb city and crap tons of cheese. ive since been able to cut out cheese and all softdrinks without cravings . im considering a 48 hour fast every weekend, i also developed a small hernia in my bellybutton because of my rapid weight gain, so doing crunches has to be slow and small rep, but the doctor requires i maintain working my abs and monitor any pain
284 now, just checked.

This exactly. All that happens is your hair goes green as your body turns to photosynthesis to make up for the energetic deficit.
Josiah Russell

Matthew Clark
I officially lost 21lbs as of today and really wanted to cheat because of it, but I chose not to >walked to grocery store >stared at ice cream section but only bought vegetables and low-fat Greek yogurt >ran 3.4mi in 33 minutes when I came home
Asher Green
does anyone have a link to the new my 600 lb life episode with that fat one fat ass.
Gavin Jackson
No energy, trouble sleeping, heart attacks.

its in the catalog, look for his fat ass image
Joseph Davis
Skinnyfat here. I cut from 225lbs last year, now I'm at 170 5'10".
I'm really conflicted, should I be cutting or bulking, or just eating at maintenance? I don't want to stall on my lifts.
Liam Hernandez
>246lb >Got a huge belly >he is 225 >Tiny cuddly belly that doesnt even need to go DA FUCK?
Gavin Moore
cant find it, link me brah
Ryder Lee
hes 170 retard
Carter Martin
In your position i'd go the recomp route. Bonus of fixing your hormones and metabolism from cutting so long, you can gain some muscle while cutting. I'd go that route till you stall. and then reconsider the options
>looking like that >thinking about bulking Dont let anyone tell you to bulk. You have to bite the bullet and go full skelly mode. Your lifts will stall, you will feel weak, you will be weak, you will be small. But after that you can bulk freely for a year, and make great gains. Keep at it brother!
Luis Russell
damn I guess I've lost 36 lbs of water weight with my calorie counting :^)
Noah Cooper
Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it. I've just been eating at maintenance for a while trying to figure this out.
Skinny as in lack of muscle, not lack of fat.
My problem with this is that I don't have anything to cut down to, it would just mess up my lifts which seems like a waste of time to me.
Levi Kelly
dat Spigen case tho
Daniel Morris
proud of you staying strong, brother. youre gonna make it if you keep that up
Jonathan Robinson
Who cares if you have nothing to cut down to. Im gonna be a bit more blunt this time. You look like shit. Like a fat piece of shit. No offense, its an observation. Your lifts dont mean shit with these looks as long as you arent a strongman. So go ahead, bulk, be even fatter, and realise 6 months later that i was right, and you will wish you would have got rid of that fat in those six month, instead of forcing yourself t cut for another year, which you will spend looking even fatter, and even more disgusting. Your choice.

Looking at getting a protein powder, are there any recommended that wont cause gas or upset stomach? looking into Slap Nutrition because its gluten and lactose free but honestly i have no idea about the world of protein powder.
