Why /starving the fuck out of themselves/ here? 5'9" 173 lbs currently trying to eat 600 Calories below maintenance...

I live in suburbiastan and pretty much anything I would normally go to is over 4 m away

Is there any group of people more insufferable than bikefags

I just started my diet about 8 days ago. At a bodyweight of 207~ at 5'8ish. So far it's actually been surprisingly easy but I suspect it might be because I am fat. I am sure it'll get harder around 180 or so but I don't expect to get much below that.

my diet

>wake up
>small bowl of cottage cheese with blueberries
>does absolutely nothing to satiate my appetite but at least I know my muscles arent withering away
>drink a big bottle of pepsi zero with 150mg caffeine until 1pm
>decently large meal with 1 pound of a ground meat (usually lean turkey) with two servings of beans (about 1000 cals total)
>nibble on some steak around 6pm
>go to bed

Averaging about 1800-2100 cals/day right now which seems way too low but I feel pretty good so whatever. At 199 right now and my lifts have barely dropped at all

tl;dr youre a pussy

omnivores

>randomly honk
>randomly scream at people
>push people into barriers causing serious bodily injury
>flash high beams at possible epileptics because you think it's funny
>they were legally riding on the road

Why yes, my faggoty fucking friend, there are.

>tfw too poor to eat healthy

I hate eating mcdonalds for 2/3 meals a day but its all I can afford

I think you're outnumbered here...

>don't lose weight quickly
>lose all motivation when your "moderation diet" has seen you lose 5 lbs in 3 months
>binge anyways

Just get the weight off and use that newfound discipline to eat right. Then don't ever let yourself get fat again by making sure you keep pictures of your fat self handy.

1600/day right now.
Exercised a lot and had 1950 today.

Could have hit goal if I hadn't had that Brisk and extra bit of pot roast.

Shameful bakka desu senpai

>Watching out for salts and sugars
Maybe worry about salt if you're water fasting past 3 days.

Worrying about sugar is a bullshit thing fat and uneducated people always talk about. Usually an excuse in order to jam a sugary "protein bar" or something silly down their throats.

Your body goes into crave mode after starvation and you won't be able to stop yourself. This is a common phenomenon, look it up. Crash diets don't work.

McDonalds costs a lot more than a few poverty staple items prepared at home. Admit that youre lazy, friendo.

I lost 40 pounds this winter by crash dieting with bodyweight exercise (no cardio) at home.

Been maintaining that for a few months now, when does your "crave mode" begin?

I lost 60 lbs last year on a "crash diet" and then didn't gain it back, because I used discipline and slowly got my body back used to eating normally, and continued counting calories.

Meanwhile everyone around me wonders "how I did it" and tries to shave 200 calories off their daily consumption, gets pissed off, and then decides they're just going to treat themselves a little bit and ruins the whole fucking thing.

I've yet to meet someone who has truly gotten in shape without taking drastic measures.

Fatty you are eating like 600 more calories a day than me you fat piece of shit

Hey you need electrolytes nigger.

EAT PLAIN BAKED POTATOES. They are the most satiating food out there. They make it fucking easy to keep a deficit.

Yeah, you do, but hardly what you seem to think you need. When I water fast I'll usually allow a spoonful of salt on day 3 if I'm feeling off, but the feeling is usually ketosis starting. When I'm fasting I'm drinking 1-1.5gal of water a day or more.

When I'm not fasting it's still around a gallon of water a day with no added electrolytes. Did marketing gimmicks get to you, user?

>It's got what plants crave

The reason teri shivo got her seziures and through up and choked and when brain dead and shit was lack of salt and sugars.

Granted dumb cunt was like water fasting for months. But this is the board retards like Jack and Revew Brah post on. Don't want some stupid anons teri shivoing themselves

>in order to jam a sugary "protein bar" or something silly down their throats

Yeah, or clown dick. Does clown dick count as something silly?

>possible epileptics
Maybe you shouldnt ride a bike around if you have a genetic defect

>plain baked potatoes
I love potatoes but this is just masochistic

I'm starting keto again. Never hungry. Didn't track the first three days.

>8863058
are you weighing yourself at different times?

I weigh myself right when I wake up each morning, so no, pretty much the same time each day. I've lost almost 100 lb on it before and as long as I'm strict I've easily lost between .6-1 lb per day for weeks at a time

Yeah bouncing up and down on the order of 100 pounds seems pretty unhealthy. How can you expect your body to adapt to that

I lost it and kept it off for ~5 years, got out of the military and ballooned up. I've been fat for like 3 years now so there's been plenty of time to adapt. Idk what else to say I'm a fuck up, just hoping to keep it off for good this time.

In that boat with you brother. 6'1 190 lbs, I've been eating around 600-800 calories for the past four months and lost fifty pounds. If you got willpower to last through a month or two, the hunger stops

I actually crave those little fuckers now. They're awesome.

stop eating:

pizza
fries
potato chips
cookies
ice cream

they all fuck with your 'food reward' system

Not starving cause I don't want to lose my muscle mass. I'm maintaining my current lifts and eating as much of a deficit it allows.

800-1600 calories a day fag reporting in. 15lbs lost in around a month. I'm now at 133.8lbs. I've maintained for about 20 days because I low key binged on and off.
Back to losing.

Low calorie restriction works as long as you don't go too low, and can control yourself to some extent.

I have to lose about 30 pounds before September!!! FUCK!!

>being this fatty

Put some hot sauce or salsa on them then. It might not taste great, but they'll be plenty easy to eat.

Breakfast: Whey protein bar

Lunch: 2 pieces of chocolate, a small cup of iced coffee

Dinner: Veggie noodles with marinara, whey protein bar

This is usual for me.

Hot sauce being 0 calories is our gift from God.

I've been doing 1200 calories a day plus running 5 miles 4 days a week

I started at 250lbs now down to 175lbs. I notice im getting more full so maybe its time to cut calorires to 900

OR eat whatever the fuck you want as long as it's reasonable.

>600 calories below maintenance

That's seriously not that much at all

was 230 pounds a month or so ago and im down to 210 now. i feel much thinner but i come to ck more. i feel better overall but theres definitely a lot of fatigue

That sounds literally aweful

How many supersize fries is a pound?

>eat 1500-2000 calories daily
>run a 10k or do 30km stationary bike every day
>still binge so losing weight slowly
At least I'm fitter

What are you eating

Nah I binged on cookies and cupcakes for dinner, exceeded my goal but didn't hit maintenance (according to the site anyway). I'm almost an hour and a half into a cardio session right now so I don't feel bad about it either.

weird, I was pretty much exactly where you are about 7 months ago. Honestly just cut out anything with extra sugar and make your own meals. Brown rice is great to fill you up. also pickles, string cheese, sugar free Jello, almonds, and plain yogurt will go a really long way for you. try to eat lean protein and plenty of veggies. you'll stop feeling so hungry in a week or two

You're a fucking idiot. Really need to spend some time on Veeky Forums or at least learn the basics of eating. If you burn more than you eat your going to lose weight, if you eat more than you burn you gain weight. It's as simple as that.

not really as simple as that. you can't ignore hunger forever.

>starving yourself when trying to lose weight
This is the worst thing you could do.

Stop eating snacks and do exercise.

I'll never get people who say they're starving themselves when they count calories.

I make so much I can barely eat it all for three meals a day, and I can easily keep under 1800cal as a 6'4 man.

How long did that take?

I'm fasting OP. I haven't eaten anything in over 48 hours, 600 calories is loads.

I'm eating between 700~1100 calories per day. I'm losing at least 1kg per week, but I think I should be losing more, given how much I do exercise per day (2 hours in exercise bike). My guess is that I'm having water retention problems, albeit in a small scale. Either way, I'm not losing sleep over this, I only have 1 month to go on this diet, and then it's a normal lifestyle back again.

I started September last year and was 115kg. Now I'm 82kg. I still get a few cravings here and there, but I use the Saturday to satisfy them.

there was a fatass dude who was 400lbs who didn't eat for a year and he lost plenty of weight.

Didn't even have any loose skin due to the extreme fast.

People tend to exaggerate when they start a diet, but really. Losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. In the beginning, I think it's even more of a gap, 90/10.
If you just knew how little calories does exercising really burn...

I'm 212 lbs and I eat 1500 calories of good nutritious food instead of chemical coctails like Pepsi zero and "nibbles" of shit.

Not gonna make it more than another week with that shit diet manlet.

Don't try to cheat your way out with "zero calorie" sodas, specially if you're having one every day. Sodas make you hungrier, even if it's artificially sweetened. Actually, anything with refined sugar or sweeteners will make you hungrier.

I have a soda every Saturday, and I still have to hold myself to not binge eat like a motherfucker. I'm not kidding you, when I drink that soda, I think for a good two minutes "I'm so hungry I can eat that whole pizza".

Use "zero" sodas to stop drinking soda, but not as a substitute.

you're a total fucking dipshit if you think his diet is bad. what part of cottage cheese/blueberries, lean turkey/beans and steak screams 'non-nutritious' to you?

Yeah, exercise is great for general health and cognition, but as far as losing weight it isn't much help.

you definitely can
people water fast for 50+ days, so long as you've got mass to consume and get nutrients and water you're fine (more than, actually)
why would it work any other way?

Just work out, christ

caloriecucks are like telling people who have financial troubles 'it's literally money in vs money out in your bank account', which while is technically correct, is useless

>Your body goes into crave mode after starvation and you won't be able to stop yourself

Explain Anorexia, checkmate athiest
It's all about willpower

You can burn a ton of calories just dragging a treadmill in front of the TV and walking instead of sitting on your ass. Depending on how much TV you watch that could be over 1k calories a day for almost no effort. Cardio is only shit for weight loss if you refuse to do more than an hour or two of it a week.

i had 215 today

>5'9" 173 lbs
80kg is good weight. Unless you have fat in all the wrong places.

Throw away your cars.
Carry all the water you drink.
Revel in the subtle art of dodging homicidal american drivers.
Learn to dodge. Walk up a hill.
You'll make it.

Forget cutting. Time to bulk!

1k calories a day by walking?
For no effort?
1 hour of walking burns 130 calories. To burn 1k, you'd need to walk at least 8 hours daily. You'd probably go crazy before you lost any weight.
Yeah, you burn less calories in an hour of walking than there are in a soda can.

Don't believe whatever the little visor on the threadmill shows you. It's just a gross overestimative.

Lost 30 lbs this way last year, they didn't came back.

The fact that he's not eating a single fucking vegetable and instead of rebalancing his diet when he doesn't feel satiated he drowns some fucking diet coke?

Protip: Vegetables make you feel full without adding too many calories.

Thanks for the (You) faggot.

I thought you were talking about during a fast, this is just retarded
you can justify it to yourself as "heightened drive to eat" or whatever, but all that set-point stuff is absolute bullshit, all of it is short-term and can be pushed through with enough rigor. look at your own graph, within 3 months the people had reverted to less than half of their deficit, and they only lost "several kilograms" in the first place, which is nothing if you're actually overweight

verywell.com/walking-calories-burned-by-miles-3887154
>A rule of thumb is that about 100 calories per mile are burned for an 180-pound person and 65 calories per mile are burned for a 120-pound person. Your walking speed matters less.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_walking_speed
>Many people tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph)

Thats 100 calories/mile x 3.1 miles/hour= 310 calories per hour. For a 180lb person. If we're talking about weight loss, theres a decent chance this could be a 250+ pound individual, meaning that the calories burned will be significantly higher. Just casually walking.

I dont totally disagree with you, but even a relatively fit person could burn 1000 calories in three hours. And you know a ton of people watch at least 3 hours of tv a day.

>starvation mode
>crave mode

normies just can't help but make shit up when they can't face the facts. what's after crave mode, does your body go into oxy-mode and you gain weight through your skin?

you sound like a first time dieter regurgitating some reddit-tier bullshit

>rebalancing my diet when I don't feel satiated

lol this is pathetic no heart fat person logic if I have ever seen it. it's a weight loss diet. you aren't going to feel satiated. you eat your essentials macros and get on with your day.

what are some Veeky Forums approved Veeky Forums recipes? only recently started getting Veeky Forums and cooking my own meals, but it's hard to find recipes that aren't loaded with calories.

Calorie counting can be hard if you struggle with not knowing the difference between appetite and hunger.

i don't count calories or read labels or think about diet and exercise very much at all and i've lost more than 20lbs since december just by cutting out (most) premade, prepared food and cutting down my alcohol consumption

>tfw 6'2", 176 lbs

>tfw don't even get hungry anymore
>tfw cravings are nonexistent
>tfw only drink water

>tfw made fun of someone just the other day for trying to use spoiler tags on Veeky Forums and wind up doing it myself
This is a karmic JUST.

Isn't myfitness pal just people writing random shit on what they believe the calorie count is?

fucking manlets

>5'9" 173 lbs

You sound like a guy who has body image issues bordering on anorexia. I say this as a guy who is in the same camp.

5'11" 176 lbs reporting in. Was on adderall for a good while which had me at 165ish or maybe even underweight, idk because I didn't have a scale at the time. I got off the drug and gained hella weight, like 185ish.

>tfw you're wondering if your pants are shrinking or if you're getting fatter
>tfw you're just getting fatter

I fucking hate that feel, worst thing in the world for me. At least I'm back on the weight-loss train, hoo-rah

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the fact that you are starving yourself instead of working out really really puts us in the same camp. All I've had to eat today is a handful of almonds and a fucking shitton of water. Gonna have a lean dinner in a bit. Looking forward to being 175 or 174 tomorrow

I blame my fucking 5'2" womanlet mother for dragging me down.

>weighing yourself every day instead of once a week
I don't recommend this, user.

setpoint is real, that's why everyone is fat

you're going to fuck your metabolism up and as you get older, you will inevitably get fat unless you fix it now. eat healthy, exercise, etc.
