Do I NEED to be in keto to lose weight, or can I just adjust my meals to limit carbs under 50g?
I don't really feel like dealing with keto flu and shit, can I just cut carbs? I've calculated it out and below even 30g has been fine so far
Nicholas Edwards
Carbs are mostly empty in terms of nutritional value. They're there for energy, and you don't really need it since you have fat stores.
Restricting carbs will help. Especially just sugars.
Carson Thomas
Guys remember you NEED to lift or you'll just end up as skinnyfat when you reach your goalweight.
Jace James
better than fatfat
Leo Butler
While I generally sketch my meals out in advance, I typically shift around what I end up eating depending on preference at the time. I'm doing okay but I'm sitting on a plateau, and I don't know if it's because of fuckarounditis, or just a plateau that I have to power through even if I'm tracking everything correctly. So tonight I've planned out everything I want to eat tomorrow, down to the last calorie, and logged it ahead of time. I'm hoping this will keep my discipline up and not let hunger influence my decisions.
>Do I NEED to be in keto to lose weight Fuck no. But cut carbs to whatever is a manageable level for you, because they do fuck all for satiation and are easy to overeat because of that. Protein, fat, and veggies will keep you full. Eat a little bit of carbs, enough that you aren't craving them or getting keto flu. Low-carbohydrate diets are nebulously defined, but 20g-60g is the criterion used by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Cooper Mitchell
Nah man it's embarrassing you know, I put in all that time eating healthy and doing basic cardio. I should have been lifting so I don't look like someone with klinefelters syndrom.
Aaron Williams
Lifitng while on a deficit is way harder than lifting while at surplus, or even maintenance. it takes so much longer to recover, especially if you're restricting carbs.
I would recommend cardio for the health benefits, and lifting obviously is fantastic, but it's made even harder at a deficit.
Nathan Diaz
whenever there's free donuts at work, I still usually get one to not look like an asshole, then when everybody is not looking i just flush it in the toilet. fuck u gain goblins
Carter Cruz
Gonna maek it.
Cooper Miller
>Go from fatfat to skinnyfat >5'8, 154lb
I'm going to change to maintenance eating and lift 5 times a week up from 3, with 1 day of cardio. Will this work for evening out?
Kayden Gomez
10 pounds from the sub 200 club
Not gonna make it by start of june like i'd hoped, but oh well
Easton Thompson
Went from 275 to 206. still got more to go. Has anyone else made any dick gains? Turns out losing weight has made it grow a bit. there's still some of it inside the fat too.
Jacob Brooks
Isn't cardio just going to negate your muscle gains?
Jack Cooper
Sickness clearing up, gonna try gym today.

Do you guys keep notes on what you eat or do you punch it into a tracker app ASAP?
Juan Taylor
Mix of the two. I'll often make big batches of things and just write down the weights of the ingredients and do the calcs later. When I eat out I always add it to an app immediately with a 20 percent variance. If there is no nutrition info i wont eat there or ill just eat the healthiest sounding item there and assume its all my calories for the day.
Nathaniel Ortiz
that sounds smart I often manage my lunch and breakfast fine but then i forget to input diner at night
Ayden James

honest question to all fat people ITT, what are your shits like?
im an emaciated twig and whenever i try to eat more stuff to get some calories, usually smoothies with oats, milk, yogurt, peanut buttter, etc, it makes my shits loose even thoguh they have a decent amount of fiber in them, and eating this as oatmeal didn't cause this problem. like, loose as in i have to wipe a ton to get it clean and even have to go back later for rewipes
i ask you guys because i know a lot of you have eaten diets with shitty food (fast food, sweets, etc that i never eat) and wonder if your shits were bad too
Nolan Hughes
I've never really fucked with low carb/no carb diets, they make me feel really lacking in energy and lethargic. Just worry about your calories, I've seen good progress with that alone. Don't make your diet harder than it has to be, ever.
Tyler Howard
If you've never gone on a consistent muscle-building program in your past, you will be skeleton mode regardless. Make sure to begin building muscle once you hit your goal weight for sure though.
Luke Martinez

Luke Howard
used to be 220 lb and i used to eat fast food on a regular basis, my shits were tougher a bit hard to push, at some point i used to get small pieces of shit stuck inside my anus unable to push them out. Unlike now where they just come out easy and the overall experience is pleasant. I'm not discouraged by shitting anymore
Noah Miller
Shitting is nice. I wish I could shit more often.
Brayden Mitchell
I'm ill what will this to do my metabolism? will my body fighting infection up the calorie burn?
Jonathan Johnson
The way that I see it - What do you have to lose? Worst case, it doesn't work for you and you can adjust to how it fits you. Best case, it does and you continue that way. Only thing that matters is that you eat below your TDEE
Parker Price
If you feel gassy it could potentially mean that you've got some shit in there
Blake Jackson

Kayden King
How much weight lost is too much weight? I'm losing about .7-.8lb a day not really doing anything major besides 2000kcal CICO+IF+keto and walking 10 miles, at about 20 pounds lost in the past 4 weeks
Cameron Cox
> from /fat/ to Veeky Forums > feelsgoodman.mp4
couldn't have done it without you guys here in /fat/ we are all going to make it
Isaac Sanders
how big are you? if you're morbidly obese or close to it, you shouldn't be doing any real damage to yourself for now but you also shouldn't try to maintain this pace indefinitely. try to roughly halve that rate of loss once you're below 30% if male, and half that again once you drop below 15%. when you're in a healthy bf% range, losing 1-2lbs a week is about the max you can expect to lose without losing muscle and strength
Camden Kelly
That is an insane rate of weight loss. Talk to a doctor or nutritionist immediately.
How much do you weigh user are you in the 400lb+ range? I don't even know how that's possible, maybe you have a parasite or something
Chase Campbell
6'5, I wasn't morbidly obese tho, just on the edge of the overweight/obese range at 255
Henry Bennett
I feel pretty decently great, and I'm making strength gains, able to actually do pullups and starting to be able to hit 35lb hammer curls, I'm going to cut the amount of cardio I'm doing though, fitbit is claiming that I'm burning 3400-4000 average with all the walking
Camden Wilson
lol fatties
put down the fork, fatso's.
Dylan Butler
Fatties please, the idea you can't build muscle on a cut in misinformed. Your noob gains come quick and despite being on a permacut my lifts slowly went up. This will also help loads when you're no longer cutting. I went from 310lbs to 210lbs bodyweight Bench: 250lb x 6 Deadlift: 365lb x 6 Squat: 295lbs x 6 OHP: 155 x 6
You don't even need to do a strength routine, you can do hypertrophy.
Logan Cooper
you're doing it wrong
Logan Thomas
let my sodium intake slip this past week and am now retaining a fuckload of water. any ways to flush it out besides just drinking water?
Juan Price
Burning 3400-4000 per day is not sustainable and could be endangering your health. Seriously if you haven't yet I'd talk to a doctor about what your caloric needs are to safely lose weight. It's possible that the rate you're at more is perfectly fine, but I would be careful. Bigger deficit is not always better for you, remember that you're losing weight essentially by depriving your body of what it needs to maintain stasis.
That being said congrats on the progress you have already made. If you're a real big dude and people haven't noticed yet, they will pretty soon.
Eli Davis
run and drink a fuckton of water
Cooper Thompson
You could fast but remember that water weight is not fat weight - it doesn't matter and is entirely temporary. Don't worry too much about what you weigh in at day to day on the scale. Matters a lot less than you think.
Angel Jenkins
I have officially lost my first 20kg as of today. I'm happy, thats all folks.
Wyatt Evans
nothing thats really worth it. Just drink dat water, and keep the extra water weight in mind during weigh ins so you don't lose motivation
Christian Brown

Jaxson Reyes
did you just not take fiber supplements at all?

oatmeal and crush some almonds/other types of nuts into it
fucking delicious I look forward to it every morning, even after eating it every day for a year

Angel Peterson
5'11 235lbs alcoholic here
This is it man. Long-story short; I recently realized I was an alcoholic and it's ruining my life. I used to be super Veeky Forums and happy, but then some shit happened and it got me into daily drinking of 9-12 beers while playing LoL, every single evening. I thought for so long it was perfectly fine because I have a decent job and drinking beers with video games was a perfectly normal way to relax after work. Yet it's literally all I do... I slowly became an hermit and haven't had sex in a year
So today I'm going to bed sober. Tomorrow I'm going back to the gym, and then I'll track my progress with a picture and weight every 10 days
w-wish me luck bros... PS: at 50 days I will reward myself with a fine whore
Nolan Gray

Please, I would like to know more. What was your daily calorie goal? Cardio, lifting, days of week?
Juan Powell
go get it my bro
Jason Myers
...
Jaxson Collins
I kept my calorie goal at 1600-1700, logging in mfp helped alot. At first i didnt do any cardio or lifting because i was more focused on sticking to the diet. After about two months i went down to 237, which was when i started doing cardio 3 times a week for 30 minutes just running on the treadmill. I started getting into martial arts too 3 times a week so i started losing a bit more. 2 months after that and i got down to 225. After that idk what happened but i completely changed the way i did everything. I changed the way i ate. (Baked chicken with brocolli and sometimes Poke for lunch) and i started running every morning, working my way up to running 3 miles nonstop and i do martial arts and strength conditioning 4 times a week. I've been doing that for 6 months and i went from 225 to 175, with some muscle so i dont look like flabby. It's been a long journey, 10 months in total, started from august.
Jeremiah Walker
I'm eating an English muffin as part of breakfast and I need to cut carbs.
Got any good low carb breakfast ideas that aren't just eggs/omelets?
Cooper Cooper
You can do it man, post here often so you can remind yourself
Jack Diaz
Thank you for your story. Certainly life style changes are important. 1600 to 1700 seems low for all that activity. I'm doing 1800 right now.
Jordan Morris

Isaiah Edwards
How many calories would you guys say are in buffalo wings from the local pizza place? I usually get them dry and use Frank's Red Hot instead of their sauce. When I log into MFP, there are a ton of options ranging from like 50 calories each to 200 calories each.
Kayden Watson
Avocado on toast
Grayson Collins
Thanks for the response. I tried my hardest but I caved in because it was a special occasion. I'll do my best not to go over again (:
Ian Rodriguez
I can see finish line bois. Less than 10lbs left
Jaxson Myers
Yeah, i changed it when i started doing more strenuous exercising, it became around 1900-2000 a day. You can do it man. Willpower is the most important thing to have
Connor Price
But... You know you aren't done, right? Don't stop just because you made your goal. You've got to remember the lessons you've learned.
Christopher Baker
If you get them dry and add the sauce, find the calories in the chicken dry and add the sauce.
Easton Brooks
>When I log into MFP, there are a ton of options ranging from like 50 calories each to 200 calories each. You always pick the highest calorie one, so 150-200 each.

squeeze in some veggies for your weeb snacking! I enjoy nibbling on kimchi or dipping veggies in sweet chili sauce(this is probably weird, but you can do ranch or w/e)
Julian Moore
Down to a 40 lbs loss. Feeling really happy! Finally maxed out a machine, so strength is still going up (yeah, >machine, i know) even at 1500 deficit.
Lincoln Ward
Fug I don't know how people skip breakfast. I usually eat 900 calories before work and then skip lunch instead.
Leo Barnes
>All dat sodium
Samuel White
sounds like a good idea a 300g bag of carrot sticks is cheap add some dipping sauce and you can eat the entire bag if you want
Christian Parker
>95g of protein
Benjamin Phillips
kimchi is a good idea. i have some kimchi mix from daiso but i've gotta get the vegetables and get around to making it
Leo Walker
Ranch is too many calories. Fat free italian dressing or balsamic vinaigrette are the only things you're allowed to dip veggies in.
Elijah Jones
It's a habit frankly. I skip breakfast, eat a shitload for lunch and generally a light snack for diner. Then again I'm French so you do tend to have time to eat on the mandatory 2 hours lunch break.
Xavier Collins
>want to lose weight >but can't exercise because of fragile bones This is the worst. Is it really possible to lose weight just by being on a good diet?
Gabriel Perez
how did you miss it? it's at the top of the page with a running raptor right next to it
Hunter Smith
I implied I already started my diet.
Isaac Sullivan
Then decrease your caloric intake.
What do you consider exercise? can you walk? walking is actually very good exercise.
