/Weight Loss General/

Not Veeky Forums related. Get the fuck out of here with that NYR shit.

I do exercise. I'm 155 lbs and I eat like a horse and have a nice muscular body composition now. It's all Gucci mane

Blow me you stupid fucking cunt

Fuck off. Like anyone gives a shit about your health here. If you want to meal prep and wank off with other faggots about your progress blog go to Veeky Forums you fucking newfag.

Kill yourself you stupid gatekeeping piece of shit. I'll post whatever I want you daft cunt.

Americans go to gyms that understand them

...

I've never been to the PF pizza day because i already feel like a piece of shit at the gym even though i'm more Veeky Forums than half the people there. The last thing i want to do is eat a bunch of sugar/grease before or after my workout.

I put on weight for months then lose it with exercise and dieting. I love food and sedentary activities. Exercise makes me feel good directly afterwards, but eating tasty food, cooking it, and looking forward to the next meal are way more enjoyable.

I don't have a healthy relationship with food, but then it seems like everyone is addicted to something. Drugs, vidya, sex, etc never did it for me.

Went from 190lbs to current 162 lbs on a ketogenic diet over the last few years. My goal was to be in the best shape of my life before I hit 40. I'm still not there yet, but I've already succeeded. The majority of people my age now look terrible. I think the secret to looking and feeling young is to stop eating sugar, processed junk food and regularly drinking alcohol. Who knew?

I'm 5 hours intonmy water fast and I think I'm gonna die :'(

I'm trying to lose 8 lbs in the new year. My plan is to eat salads in favor of meat dishes a couple times a week.

>pizza boxes sitting open
REEEEEEEEE

Not at all. If you don't control your diet, jogging once a week won't do shit. You don't even have to do extreme dieting or deprive yourself of good food. I lost 60 pounds in a year running a 500 cal deficit. Still had pizza and other greasy foods every two weeks.

You really have to find your own way to loose weight. I discovered i don't need to have breakfast and lunch. So i eat like a banana at 1 pm and then have a responsable dinner. Lost 10 kg that way it's going down even more. Might have to eat a bit more soon.

Easy no thought mode. Cut out rice, bread, pasta. Eat a meat with veggies.

Can disagree about paleo or ketosis, but this is the simplest way to reduce calories. I lost 20lbs without really trying.

I'm lost 45 pounds in 2017
From 315 to 270. I'm hoping to at least drop another 30 pounds in 2018. Eventually I wanna get back to my wrestling weight of 185 but I'll be happy at 200. I'm 6'2" so I'm pretty fat right now but I feel much better dropping 45 pounds.

Eat meat and vegetables. For hunger attacks, juice thickened with konjak powder is excellent.

A few months ago I started playing with water fasts because it gets so tiresome limiting to 1200 cal every single day (lost about 60 lbs that way). I did a few 3-day and a few weeks eating once every other day and had great results, about 20 lbs down in the two months. My TDEE is just over 2k so I'm happy with that. It also killed my junk food cravings- first fast I broke on pizza and chocolate and shit, second fast all I could think about was hearty but healthy meals like steak and greens, potatoes and eggs, etc. I've got about 20 lbs more to go now.

Fasting or not, I'd say the first step to take for losing weight is cutting way down on sugar/refined carbs. It sucks for the first week or so, but after that the mental aspect gets so much easier.

why did you gain it in the first place?

can't imagine having to go up a clothing size every time i need a new shirt, didn't that clue you in that you're abnormal?

My weight loss is complete.
210 last February, 167 currently.

Now is the year to build and tone.

Your goals are achievable people. Stick to it.

lol.

you bring up a good point, everyone patting themselves on the back for 8/16 fasting... that's called sleeping you retards

Jogging once a week is pussy status. I lift everyday plus cardio every other. I bet you look like a skinny fat piece of shit.

A few years of keto? Brutal
I couldn't last more than a couple months. Lost weight anyway though just by not eating much

First couple weeks of dieting sucks, then you get habit formation and start cruising. Then it's an effortless, mindless routine.

Just endure that initial suffering.

I'm on keto now. I'm about 6 weeks in and lost 15lbs; probably could have lost more but I had a few higher carb days due to the holidays. Sticking to it now. I'm hoping to lose 45lbs in all.

I know some people stay with it for the rest of their lives. I, however, still want to enjoy all the tasty foods that I've had to give up. I'm planning on reintroducing controlled, smaller portions of things like potatoes and pasta once I hit my target weight. I'm just not going to go crazy anymore and keto meals will still probably make most of what I eat.

ok ill challenge OP, im a fatty neet, what is an easy to make low cal food, bulk buy, cheap, and tastes good that i can eat along with 1 walk a day and still lose weight

Summarize the keto method you are using.

Count calories
Eat at a deficit
/thread

2 years ago I was really fat, was like 180 cm and weighed about 110-120 kg. I changed my diet, got rid myself of junk food and soda, started eating more of oats, various stews, a bit of fish etc. During spring and summer I played basketball almost every day, so that helped, too. I'm currently about 190 cm tall and I'm weighing around 85 kg, I think I'm fine weight wise, but I really need to start lifting to get big because I'm a lanklet. Also started jogging a few months ago, I do it 3 times a week and I still play basketball whenever weather isn't shitty.

You can gain a lot of weight and not buy any new clothes. I'm 5'7 190lbs or so, and I have medium shirts. Many are so old I had them in middle school.

>Cause why not
because general are for nigger faggots fuck off

You fatties need to stop focusing on eating healthy and just focus on eating less, I could eat donuts all day but if I only ate 1500 calories in donuts then I would still lose weight. It really doesn't matter what you are eating as long as you eat less of it, I personally don't bother eating 3 meals a day, do you think our ancestors were able to have food three times a day? Humans didn't evolve in an environment where we could always eat, eating only once or twice a day is perfectly healthy.

>eat only donuts
>lose weight but die from heart attack
nice

>vitamin pills are just calories
Sure thing pops.

Anyone?

I'm doing both. I sure myfitnesspal to track all of my calories and nutrients.

Anorexic here. I just browse Veeky Forums for the food porn, I don't actually eat it.

For those of you trying to lose weight, look into intermittent fasting or even multi day fasting.

Okay, bagels and coffee I can kinda understand, but pizza?

Pizza isn't terrible if you are bulking, but, yeah that's a weird thing to have at a gym.

need to stop drinking alcohol.

brainlet

There is a correlation between fat and stupid. Fat people are literally brainlets.

When I want to lose weight I usually reduce the number of meals per day. Right now I only have dinner. I tried only having breakfast, but once I've eaten that my stomach wakes up and a few hours later it wants more. After just a few days of dinner only I don't really miss food throughout the day and the meals I do have get smaller.

This is NOT healthy but it's very effective and it's probably not worse for me than being overweight anyway.

Planet Fitness is not a gym.

Wright loss is ONLY about burning more than you consume.

What you are doing is called intermittent fasting, and it is healthy. It reduces insulin resistance, curbs hunger, and evens out your energy levels. You still need to count calories, but it is much easier to eat under your TDEE when you have tighter eating windows.

>jogging once a week won't do shit
Hello, Captain Obvious!

*waves*

Thought for sure it would be bad for me. Thanks, I'll read up on it.

Look up Dr. Jason Fung. He has a great video on YouTube called "Solving the Two Compartment Problem" youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk that is very interesting. It's more about multi-day fasting (which I've used also) but same principals, might also get you interested in longer fasts. I don't do multi-day ones anymore because I'm thin now, but, I still do a lot of single meal days and late lunches (IF 16:8). Best thing about it is staying thin while not depriving yourself of good meals. I'm watching people at work today that have their NY Resolution to lose weight eating like half an apple, five almonds and 1oz of cheese. Might as well just not eat. All that does it spike their insulin and make them hungry.

Let me guess, you usually ate carbs for breakfast? Most likely had some simple carbohydrates in there like white flour, sugar or fruit juice? That stomach waking up feeling is the typical hunger response several hours after eating simple carbohydrates. Your blood sugar crashes from the insulin released to metabolize a simple carbohydrate dump. Excess insulin/dropping blood sugar levels makes you hungry. This is why most fat people are hungry all the time. Different types of macros are metabolized along different pathways.

Used to be a fatty myself, thank god i found Veeky Forums

Only if ye want to lose weight go there and read the threads.

You'll hate yourself after about an hour

People often ignore how much exercise it takes to get rid of food and trying to stick to your usual diet. If your options were "Eat no meal or a less unhealthy meal once a day" or "Exercise for upwards of 2-3 hours" most people will pick the former. Dieting is way easier than exercising for weight loss. Ideally you do both, but the worst option is trying to force yourself to retain a decadent lifestyle through exercise because you're gonna end up spending half your day doing it and people don't have that kind of time.

Shit advice. Just because you're thin doesn't mean you're healthy. Sure you can lose weight eating only candy and butter each day (if its under 2000 calories), but you'll feel like shit and eventually still have complications. Dieting is about eating less and meeting your nutritional needs without exceeding parameters. Plus when you eat junk like that it leaves you feeling less than full and the biggest threat to fatties while dieting is feeling like they want more. Filling foods are the key.

Fucked up last week and gained 10 pounds but I'm not too concerned, back on track now

Foodwise the only changes are I count calories and stop eating around 1500 most of the time

How did you do this? Is this only possible for huge folk?

Probably only possible for true fat guys like myself.
I aim for 20000 steps a day and try to keep calories around 1500, it's very doable if you skip breakfast and eat a healthy small snack for lunch. Then you can basically eat anything you want for dinner as long as you don't go overboard

I keep hearing this and the calories and such, and I find it unhelpful, even if technically true

The problem I find is that maybe you can lose weight eating nothing but mcdonalds/tendies so long as you only have 1,200 calories of those a day, but this fails because delicous, calorie dense food often leaves you feeling hungry and unfull, can leave you with a sugar high, and other things that make it hard to not snack between meals or eat more

even more, just suddenly trying to only cut calories and not change other things has never worked for me. I had to do one little thing at a time until I got used to it. The first thing was quit drinking alcohol or any other sugar drinks. Staying at this for a while (going on 4 months now) allowed me to focus on the next thing: eating "simpler", that is foods that are unprocessed, using that as an opportunity to teach me not just how to cook for myself, but also for others

here's another thing on that (cooking for self and others), counting calories takes a lot of attention an work. But my thought is that someone else has already done the work for more common, staple food items, in the form of portion sizes. You don't have to calculate calories all the damn time, just stick to single portions of food.

Finally, after the "not stocking up on diabetes foods", that allowed my blood sugar to stabilize a bit, so that foods that made me feel weird or unfull before now feel much better, more like how they're supposed to feel in your stomach. Exercise also has an influence on this (for me anyway). I can't eat a whole apple when I don't work out, but get me to seriously run or DDR for 20 minutes and I'll gladly wolf one down

so basically, do it for your health, do it to really teach yourself cooking (how many portions does this serve?), eat like people used to eat (low cost, simple, staples, unprocessed foods), do it to save money, do it to save time, don't complicate things.
focus on control, before you focus on weight loss

YUMMERS!

agreed.

first week takes a lot of will power; it will be tough and you get sever cravings and want to give in. BUt don't. and then after 5 to 7 days, it gets easier at least

You gained 10 pounds in a week? Seriously? Why do you hate yourself? You gotta cut that shit out.

post pic

I also do OMAD. I can get by not eating during day at work easily enough as I am busy. Feels good to go home and have a nice big ~1500 cal meal.

Oddly enough, if I did eat lunch at work, I'd still be almost as hungry when I get home as I am when I don't eat lunch.

you're a afucking ditio

Got really drunk once and other days had mom's Christmas snacks
All good now, I gained because I didn't count calories at all. Now I know I need to always

>you're a afucking ditio
sorry I don't speak nigger, got no idea what that is

Can I get from 240 to 170 in a year?

You could probably get to that in 9 months. I went 230-170 in 6 months by cutting down to 1500 cal/day, only exercise was walking to class.

I can cut to below 1500 and schedule at least an hour to cardio and/or light weights.

You should be golden then. It'll melt off at first but then slow down as you get closer to a healthy weight.

A little advice that might seem counter-intuitive: I think it's helpful to not exercise much at the beginning if you're starting out as a sedentary person. It'll raise your appetite and might give you that 'reward' complex ("I ran a mile earlier, so I can eat this ice cream"). You're also much more likely to stick with the lifestyle if you take it small steps at a time. I think it's better to spend the first month or so just getting used to the diet- kill the junk addictions, learn how to deal with being hungry, learn about nutrition and what healthy foods you like, etc. In that month you'll probably lose ~10 lbs, and the motivation from that can be used in the gym.

If your only goal is to lose fat then you do not need to do any exercise whatsoever. If your goal is general fitness, that's a different story.

I already don't drink soda so thats easy, but desserts are an issue. I live with people who cook more than I do but we take turns. The biggest issue is just not eating since I love food. I pretty much told one of them to slap the shit outta me if they catch me with any candy or desserts.

It's an addiction, it won't be easy to beat but you can absolutely do it.

>94% of rats addicted to both cocaine and sugar will pick the sugar over the cocaine

It's not like you need to go 0g sugar, but drop it way down. There's this Australian documentary called "The Sugar Film" where the protagonist goes a month eating only 'diet' foods (high-sugar low-fat) and develops all sorts of health issues. Pretty predictable outcome but it's got good info in it.

Im not doing 0 sugar because I have flavored creamer with my coffee because im a bitch who doesnt like black coffee, but thats mostly it right now. Maybe yogurt, but im switching to greek soon even though it tastes more like sour cream than yogurt.

I really want to lose weight. In the past I've done it really easily through keto. I'm vegetarian now and have a twisted relationship with pasta. I think I'm sort of making progress on account of feeling constantly nauseous. I think I'm dying, but I don't mind.

I was 158lbs when I got my new job. Workout 5 days a week, manual labor job, hike mountains on weekends.
I shot back up to 175lbs (weight I was before I decided to lose weight) just because the work I do makes me so hungry and it's hard to control. I do a 3 mile run once a week but I've still got a belly and extra fat.

It's all hopeless unless you go cold turkey completely on processed food and excess eating.

my diet has been in free fall for 4 months now, im too ashamed to even type it. visibly put on weight.

I want to kms. I have no hope. and I'm not even that big by most peoples standards but the point is I can't even fucking control what I eat or what I buy. I say I will but I never do.

I need to be put down.

I'm going on a diet soon. I currently weigh 190 and plan on exercising for an hour a day -- 15 minutes of minute-interval training and then 45 minutes of weightlifting cycling through top muscle groups down.
My diet will consist of:

3 Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches
>Wheat bread
>Natural crunchy peanut butter (no HFCS, literally salt oil and peanuts)
>Sugar-free boysenberry jelly with SPLENDA

1 Cup of beans with diced onions garnishing the top

1 fruit of choice

Multivitamins

Water/Coffee (with serving-size coffeemate creamer)/Tea

How fucked am I for doing this over a long period of time?

I should note that the beans contain bits of beef, but not a whole lot.
I'm really lazy with cooking and just want to do easy-to-make meals until I lose the weight.

>I can't...
Yeah, that's your problem. If you really believe that then you'll keep spiraling down until it gets so bad that you HAVE to change. Save yourself the heartbreak later and make a chance now.

That's a terrible fucking diet. You need lean protein, vegetables since you have NONE minus diced onion as a garnish, and bread is about the worst source of carbs you can choose.

try getting prescribed vyvanse

I guess I can make a giant thing of veggie / chicken soup instead of beans. It's pretty much chicken stock with bean sprouts, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, onions, carrots, and chicken legs seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper.
I don't know what to replace the sandwiches with though that is equally low-effort. Brown rice?

so i started a diet about 2.5 months ago because i had no business weighing 215. i went the crash diet route, was eating at a ~1500 cal deficit and hit the stationary bike doing intervals burning anywhere from 700-1k calories in a workout. crashed all the way down to 195 and then went to a 500 cal deficit for the last 5lbs. managed to not lose much lean mass along the way. as long as you make sure you're not getting mood swings, losing inches off your waist and doing mostly cardio, crash diets don't hurt you too bad. I'm about to switch to intermittent fasting, anyone on here tried that?

Speaking of crash dieting, my college had a gym class where they'd weigh you at the very start, as well as a few more times until the end of the semester.
I went in at 210 and went out at 156. Lost 54lbs in 3 months doing keto and exercising daily with an unintentional caloric deficit.
Easily the most unhealthy thing I did and the teacher, being a personal trainer for the football team as well, told me I should cut that shit out when he saw it. Quite literally almost got banned from the gym because of it even though I agreed I would.

That's a MUCH better choice. Instead of using the soup to replace beans, replace a couple of your sandwiches. Keep the beans as a much healthier source of carbohydrates and fiber. If you need other carbohydrate sources, rotate in brown rice and roast some root veggies like potatoes and yams. Be sparing on breads and pastas, but feel free to add them to the rotation occasionally.

Could you lose weight on what you initially suggested? Sure, as long as calories are in check. But by improving your diet while restricting calories you'll not only shed those pounds but you'll feel much better doing it. You don't lift a lot of weights (or put in long days at work or school, for that matter) on a diet of PB&J sandwiches.
