/fat/ - Only Time and Diet Kills Fat

I don't have a scale, so I don't know. But I'd guess 3kg of fat, not counting water weight. That'd be consistent with my calorie deficit.

looking good my dude

we have very similar body types (I'm 5'11 and around 204lb rn) so I'm hoping I look like that once I get under 190

Man eating only 1500 calories is torture, makes me want to eat a pizza fuck this feel.

Got to reach 200lb from 272lb

been eating 1200 every day for the past 2 weeks. the brain fog is interesting.

Cheat day today lads. Just had a 1800cal pizza.

>lost 4lbs this week

on one hand i'm happy with the progress but i'm worried that it's happening too fast and that losing at this rate means i'm gonna smash into a plateau soon

How to stop from farting in the hole on a squat? Not a fun feeling like your going to shit yourself

Did I fuck up /fat/? Only went 65 calories over TDEE

I've been eating ~800 for a week and it's not as bad as I expected. Brain fog is real and I'm pretty cranky but don't feel too hungry. At broccoli and mushrooms til I was about to puke and it was only ~80 calories.

this is a shit macro
fuck you OP

holy fuck man your carbs are through the roof and your protein is low as fuck.

What's the breakdown on your carbs? How many grams of sugar/starches/fiber ???

How heavy are you? 300+ can lose that much a week easily

disregard the protein comment. Your protein is good, I was looking at your fat numbers and dyslexia happened.

Still though, your carbs are holyfuckinghigh

199g of protein is good, but that is a ton of carbs

nigga can't you read?
>protein is low as fuck
since when is 200g of protein LOW lol?
>how many grams of sugar/starches/fiber
NIGGER CAN'T YOU READ

>Low as fuck
200 g
U wot
Carbs seem a bit high for a cut, but we don't know how fat he is.

You fuckers are retarded I corrected myself right after in

Can finally trim my pubes without a mirror..small victory for my huge ass

net carbs tho: 330 - 111 = 219g carbs, of which 89 were sugar

How did I do today /fat/? Just started using My Fitness Pal and I’ve found it to be extremely beneficial.

Guys, I need to ask for your unprofessional opinions.

Quick stats: 5'9" and 356lbs today. Just got on the scale this morning. I've got hypo and a pituitary tumor, of which I'll have the surgery to remove this summer (hopefully). I don't know if mentioning that is important, but we'll get there.

I look fat. I have back rolls, stomach fat, etc... But there are people who are taller and weigh less than me who visibly look worse. Who look wider and who spill out more, and who wear bigger clothes than me. I wear a 2X, shirts and pants. And that's not something to be proud of, but other people who weigh that much wear 4-5X clothing. It's not like I'm trying to squeeze into smaller sizes, the clothes fit me and are sometimes a little baggy. It seems weird.

Does anyone else get this? Do you weigh more than you think you look or wear smaller clothes compared to others who weigh just as much as you? Muscle isn't really a thing, I have a fair amount in my legs but my upper half is just flab. I don't think the health problems would have anything to do with that, weight is weight regardless of how it gets there. I'm a stocky human being but let's not bullshit ourselves here, nobody gets fatter because of bones.

I guess to make post relevant, my first goal is getting to 225 by next year. I'd like to lose at least 30 lbs in 3 months, but I'll take what I can get. The weather has been miserable here, but when it clears up I believe I might go on longer walks to take up bird watching. I like birds.

That's good to know. I'm definitely a fat mother fucker so it's hard to know how much conventional wisdom applies to someone in my position

im 6'1 331lb. wear a 2x shirt. size 40 pants.

my junior year of highschool i went to six
flags and did the guess your weight thing. she
guessed 190, was 276. got a stuffed alligator. seriously tho i feel like 70 percent of my entire weight is in my thighs and legs

this was meant to be a reply to you i fucked it up

After 7 weeks into keto i'm finally seeing the 150g-300g's of weightloss every couple of days like I used to when I did keto 2 years ago.

I've been dieting and working out every single day for the past month and only lost .5kg a week which was pissing me off, until I realised I wasnt eating enough fat.

>cheat DAY
it's called cheat meal. You just sent yourself backwards 1 week.

I'm around 6'2" 260lbs and anything below a 2XL is skintight on me. I have a very large frame without lifting. Wide shoulders, thick torso, thick legs. I don't look fat anywhere except in my midsection.

Hoping to get down to around 220 so that I can mog in XLs without having a disgusting chubby stomach.

I have barely eaten my TDEE. 500cal worth of yogurt and oats for breakfast, a 1800cal pizza, and a 500cal ice coffee. Considering going over in order to bulk a bit for my muscles to repair themselves properly.

if you blend cottage cheese and frozen strawberries together it tastes identical to strawberry cheesecake bros, found my junk food

yeah, the fat ratio has to be the hardest thing to get right. I only started keto 10 weeks ago and at first, just getting enough fat is crazy hard, especially if you've only done low fat cico diets like me. all that fat just seems counter-intuitive at first

my junkfood has been frozen strawberries

60 cals in 1 cup and they're tasty af frozen

Water, and fat distribution.

Hypo classically causes water bloat, and water has a crazy high impact on scale weight. The people you're comparing yourself to may have slightly more actual fat.

There's also two kinds of fat. There's the visible kind, stored under the skin (subcutaneous), but then there's also visceral fat, stored around internal organs, and so less visible... and also far more dangerous, health-wise. Others may have a larger proportion of subcutaneous fat than you.

Then there's distribution of subcutaneous fat as well - some people store relatively more gut fat, others more ass/leg fat, which also will affect how you look.

Hey i'm the 435 pound user from last night. As of today i'm down to 409.

If I can lose 26 pounds you can to. Never give up.

Down 40 lbs in 5 months with whole food plant based diet. Not counting calories and eating until satisfied. Not ethical vegan, so I have eaten some meat at major holidays. Exercising 4 days a week, running 6 miles.

...

You need to lift some weights brah.

Sure. This month I just figured out what my lean maintenance weight was. I already got gym subscription and I am going to start lifting and bulking next month.

Are u a girl?

Just did hip flexor stretches because supposedly they help with APT. My lower back is fucking confused about what to do so it's slowly relaxing but it's not sure how so it's like spasming. I just want it to stop hurting when I run on a fucking elliptical.

before/after stats?

>had a BMI of 42 at the start of last year
>it's 30.4 now
>tfw this will literally be the first time in my adult life where I'm not obese

The last 5 months i went from 84 kg (185 lbs) to 64,8 (143 lbs).
I started 3 months before at 93,5 kg (206 lbs) but I was too scared to take pics, and now I regret. So, almost 70 lbs down since the beginning.
Height 175 cm (5'9'' ft)

Finally was able to wear my old belt. Feels good familia.

Only been a few days since I started but I've lost a lot of fat. Yesterday sucked ass because I craved sugar all day, couldn't concentrate on anything.

If you use frozen fruit while making a smoothie, you get the consistency of a milk shake. Be sure to use skim or almond milk, both 80 calories. Cottage is really good too but get the low fat, shit tastes the same, I just switch between cottage cheese and peanut butter for protein ingredients in smoothies etc.

What'd you eat today bros?

>2 fried eggs in butter
>udon ramen with some leftover chicken breast, mushrooms and an egg yolk
>6 beers
>strawberry cottage cheese skim milk smoothie
>handful of blueberries

It’s 12:16 pm so I haven’t eaten and won’t until around 6 pm.
My brother will be making a very delicious chicken dish which I am very much looking forward to.

WHAT DISH IS IT BRO

It’s nothing original, just the classic whole chicken in a römertopf/tagine with potatoes, leek, onion etc and full cream of course.

>full cream

not gonna make it

I’m making it while feeling better than ever!

>read up on it
>Wrist Curls: 12 sets of 50,40,30,20,10,5,5,10,20,30,40,50 reps, with 45 seconds rest in between sets

Saturday is the only day where I don't work out.

Saturday is the only day where I have a meal that I don't count the calories of.

Saturday is the only day where I allow myself to eat more than my body expends, because I need the extra to repair my muscles and prepare for another week.

Saturday is a necessary day, I know that. I keep telling myself that. I want to hate Saturday, because it doesn't allow me to lose weight. I want to hate it, because I will be worse off Sunday than I was Friday.

But I can't help but feel that Saturday is a good day.

Can anyone link me to the last thread?

4 PM here and I've had nothing but black coffee so far. Gonna eat 400 grams potatoes and 225 grams fish sticks soon.

fellas, what does your meal prep look like? I really love rice so I was thinking of making a bunch of it with cooked chicken. Do you keep the meat in your fridge or freeze it? Onlx lasts 3-4 days in the fridge from what I've heard

when did you guys first start noticing progress?
>256 to 242
>nothing yet

Take a cheese grater to a head of cauliflower and, boom, you've made veggie rice. Much better on calories and cooks just like rice. I throw a couple of eggs, some ground ginger, coconut amino acids (a great soy sauce substitute), and the riced cauliflower into a skillet and tastes better than regular fried rice.

ive gone from 321 to 260 (5'7 manlet) and still feel like I look the same

You'll notice face gainz after the first 20 lbs. Take a photo of yourself at regular intervals of weight loss (not time). For example snap a pic at 236 then 216 and 196 and so on. You wont notice shit looking at yourself in the mirror every day.

2 eggs

6 oz carne asada beef

2 packets of OATZ

Loading up on carbs this morning boyz, gonna hit the gym hard soon and try to hit a new PR on mt squats.

Spicy italian footlong from Subway on wheat. ~1000 cals and probably the only thing I'll eat today, unless I get tempted by the wine bottle I brought home.

You'll definitely see a difference after you lose 20lbs. My pants got looser and my face slimmed down (I took pictures to compare).

I always make enough food to last me a week and I've never had any meat spoil on me that I kept in the fridge.

What do you make?

The best feeling in the world is getting on the scale and being disappointed that the weight is slightly higher than the day before. Only for a wave of need to take a massive shit overcome you and when you're done you weigh yourself again and it's lower than the prior day

Shit fellas, mom is making crepes and I've got no good fillings for it
that jam has too much carbs and I doubt that hazelnut spread is any better

Fatties we have the odds stacked against us

how stupid is the person who wrote this? what that study says is that fatties who lost weight will feel hungry more so than normal people, and then they start rumbling about muh metabolism gets slower

>spicy italian

my nigga, but the onion teriyaki is the top choice

Im starting a lifting routine today. How much weight loss should i expect doing 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength training a weem? Ive been hitting 1.5 lb a week and im worried that I'll stall because of muscle growth

Getting there.

225 from 245. Need to get down to about 180 to be Veeky Forums.

Biceps are the weak point right now

Start doing 100 pushups and 5x12 dips everyday to help build pecs. It is working for me.

Scale drops will slow a bit but it's all good since you're BF% will be decreasing even at the same weight.

Lel I look exactly like that at 195. In other words your BF% is pretty good for 225.

Pecs are fine if still a little fatty on the underside. Probably have gyno. I run a bro split. Chest day has weighted dips in sets of 10,8,6. Plus flat, incline, and flies.

I've always had a big chest. Used to be in good shape in highschool and college.

I make a variety of things.

I do low carb so if I eat cauliflower rice I prepare it as fried rice, spanish rice, or a risotto. If you want to pair rice with chicken you could make curry, a stir fry or a burrito bowl. You can also always just prepare your chicken and rice like you like them and add a side of vegetables to make a meal.

>pizza
Get on my level. My cheat meal was trout simmered in white wine and a butter sauce with some French country bread.

Literally the best fish I've ever eaten and I have zero guilt about it.

Thanks. 5'10". I know at 180 I sit at around 15% give or take 2%.

I used to lift much more regularly and not be a fatass. Trying to get back to it.

Is eating at maintenance once a week to stop a plateau a good idea? My calorie deficit normally is -1600ish (900 vs 2500 TDEE) and I force myself to do about an hour of walking each day.

I plateaued for about a week after losing 20lb so I could just be a bit paranoid about that not happening again.

I ate about 600 calories worth of tuna and rice today and don't feel hungry at all but it's already 8pm. You guys think I should eat something anyway?

Why bother

I have cheat days but they still make me feel guilty. Anyone else having this problem?

For reference I normally eat 1200 calories a day, with under 30g of healthy fat, whereas on a weekly cheat day I usually eat 2000 calories and 100g of fat.

Are cheat days a meme? I could see myself quite easily giving them up, they just make me feel like shit, but I'm scared I'll slowly slip back without them.

Do whatever you think is best?
Cheat days were bad for me because they caused me to slip with time, because of my low self discipline.

Good job, user! Now, keep going because 409 is a cleaning product, not a human weight!

We expect pics again in 6 months, you know?

If you don't care, then give them up. That's an extra day a week or whatever of cutting. Good for you! That is, as long as your body doesn't mind. It may be in starvation mode if you're dieting wrong (which, at 1200/day, you probably are) and a cheat day is actually helping tell your body "it's OK, you'll get food, just chill out and don't store every damn calorie as fat).

Find your TDEE. Reduce that number by 15%; that's your cals/day for cutting. Do that every day with no cheat days, then.

No I never really have cheat days or meals, at least I never have one I consider as such.
I don’t really count calories, although I usually have a rough idea of how much I eat.
I just eat basically whatever I want for my one meal a day, and that’s very rarely an amount that would put me above my TDEE for the day. I don’t care if it happens once every couple of weeks without me noticing it.
It’s all about moving in the right direction in a way you are happy and satisfied with.

>gone from wearing size 12 jeans to size 8
Holy moly this feels good, I should have gone shopping earlier but I was so afraid of backsliding and losing progress.

Used to be an alcoholic for like 4 years. Every day 6-12pk IPA/ice beer. Pretty sure that's how I ballooned nearly 40lbs in that time (im short so it's worse). I stopped drinking in December and started doing a keto-esque diet of high protein low carb. I lost 30lbs since then and I drink once a month. I drank last night and regretted it, just made me really depressed immediately and feel as useless as I did back then.

It's time to stop drinking brothers, it will improve your life and mental health for sure.
