Fasting after a binge. Have you ever done it? Do you recommend doing it?
It is indeed psychologically easier to just forget the binge happened and to continue on. And it's definitely easier to just binge again. But if you have the willpower, then you haven't lost a week of progress.
Oh I forgot this is how to get responses on /fit/:
How many weeks will it take for me to turn into him? My friend said I should focus on ab exercises to burn all of my belly fat. By the way, what are some superfoods I can eat to help tone my muscles?
>>36376251
damn that looks delicious as fuck. i started my cut about a week ago
>>36376251
fasting isn't bad 2x a year or even once a month for 48 hours. fasting because you binged though... you are starting a dangerous cycle and begging to develop some eating disorder.
My cut starts tomorrow.

When I ran Lyle McDonald's cycling ketogenic diet I would fast the day after the refeed day(s). The problem with fasting the day after a binge is that you're likely to break down and binge again.
Unless you're incorporating fasting into your dietary program as a cornerstone forgive yourself and move on.
Was cutting successfully for about 4-5 weeks. Intermittent fasting, fasted cardio, diet clean as hell, viturally no sugar(egg whites, spinach, almonds, oats, sweet potatoes, asparagus, chicken) Small cheat here and there every few days. Lost a lot of water then a lot of fat. Lower abs starting to become visible.
One day, decide to buy quest bar and eat it as dessert after dinner( less than 1g sugar). As soon as I finished it somethings in my brain snapped. I got the most insane craving for sweets I've ever experience.
Immediately went on autopilot. Drove to the store and bought 2 ben and Jerry pints. Came home and devoured them in record time.
Was painfully bloated and gassy for several days. Never have I been so impulsive. I blame the quest bar. Fuck I'm weak.
I fast after a binge. 24 hrs -48 hrs depending on how much I eat.
I ate about 1200 calories over my limit today so I'll do a 24+ hour fast. Then during the week I'll do extra cardio and just followy cut strictly for a week.
When you binge it's best to make up for it (fast, extra cardio, lower calorie intake for a few days, etc) and forget about it.

If I binge hard core the next day is nothing but replacement shakes and fruit
>tfw cut for 6 weeks and lost like 23 lbs
>averaging between 3 and 4 a week
>now it's slowed down to around 1.5-2 a week since i'm not obese anymore
>>36376881
This. I went from 180 to 150 and it felt so good seeing those pounds dissappear. Now that I'm gaining muscle it feels weird to see the weight go up.
>>36376827
No I get you. For me no simple carbs is easier than some simple carbs. The latter gives me CRAVINGS.
I've been on a cut for a year now, recovering fatty. I've lost 22kg so far and Only have 8kg left to go but it's starting to get really slow.
Anyone have any good tricks/tips for cutting efficiently or should I just up my cardio?
>>36376881
You're gonna make it, bro. Just keep it up.
>>36376251
Starting a second round of the Rapid Fat Loss diet. The first run went from 1/10 to 2/21 - dropped from 345 to 292. Bronchitis combined with two employees leaving led to 12+ hour days as a line-cook and a pizza chef. Completely fell off the program - had to eat to keep myself from falling asleep, which lead to more eating to stay awake.
The damage wasn't too terrible - these last three weeks have put me at 298ish.
Here's to a perfect 12 weeks. Good luck with your efforts, brothers.

How's your diet?
>>36376935
Eat less , move more
Keto
But in all honesty it'd the last few pounds that take the longest. You just got to keep pushing it. Finish strong
>>36376949
usually depends on whats cheap but usually rotate meals with chicken, beef, pork, lamb, fish and eggs for protein.
Rice, pasta, oats for carbs
asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli or spinach in the way of veggies
not many fruits but I sometimes have a small banana
use a small bit of butter when cooking
All fresh non processed and I stay under my calories, weighing all my portions like an autist.
I have a bit of trouble drinking enough water during the day though
>>36376949
>>36377009
Oh I used to have cheat meals but I cut those out in the past month. Not sure if it's relevant now though.
I cut from 230 to 180 and it was the easiest thing I ever did in my life. Then it was moderately difficult to get down to 170. Now getting down to 160 is literal hell, and it's not even my goal; I have no idea how I'm gonna hit that 145 goal.
Will I die if I cut on just a pizza, protein shake and multivitamin a day if it meets my macros?
>>36377009
More fruit, make sure your carbs are whole grain. DRINK MORE WATER. There's some flavor packets that are pretty good.
>>36376995
>>36377070
Thanks for the tips guys, I'll get right on top of these.
Except for keto, I used to do it every few weeks but it made cravings hell for some reason. It did work for me though.
>>36376852
>>36376876
No protein during your 24 hour fasts?
>>36377068
You will cave into hunger becaue pizza isn't filling and ruin your diet.
>>36376881
Wait til you get down to 1 lb a week familia. Shit's the worst.
>>36376881
Nice work. Just wait until you can only lose a half pound or less a week. You'll make it.
>>36377068
Unlikely, but you should try to eat some more variety. Especially real meat protein (since pizza tends to be high in carbs). Try prepackaged frozen meals. In the end, it all comes down to calories in, calories out for weight loss though.
>>36376251
I wouldn't recommend it, but I do try to eat less the next day. Much easier not use your willpower to not binge in the first place.
>>36377134
My meal replacement shakes have protein. I don't work out when I fast. I get light headed
i failed my cut. Even though im on ec stack and working out 3 times a week im still a 5'6 162 pound failure.
>>36377165
Everyone fails at some point. Cuts are not easy. Figure out what you're doing wrong and try again. Reap the aesthetics, friend.
>>36376741
Mine as well anon Ober did my bulk and got like 20 pounds to drop probably..
God speed anon God speed
>>36377232
I gained like 5 pounds. I made brownies for my roommates birthday and we ate them and played vidya. It was worth it.
>>36377249
Yeah I was a former fatty at 290 and cut down to 195 at 6'4 then stayed there for a little and then I bulked up to 235 and the last month of my bulk got messed up cuz I drank a lot Of beer.. It's no biggie tho I'll be good by July
>>36377260
Fug. I was a fatty a 190
Now I'm 156. My goal is to make 140 and bulk
>>36377260
How long did it take you to go from 290 to 195?
Shits fucked. Sweets appearinh in my desk and shit.
Last Friday i just finished my dinner when I get a fucking call from my boss asking why I wasn't at the work dinner.
>tfw had to have two dinners and was prodded for not drinking
How am I going to look shredded if shit keeps happpening?
I work at a coffee shop and I'm suprised I've gone 4 months without a pastrie. We have a reject pile and all the other employees eat them and I look like an autist for not. It's worth it tho. I get home have some apples and a peanut butter sandwich. It's no doughnut but it's something that fills me while I cut
>>36377293
Yeah don't do what I did and drink hella beer lol.. It's whatever cuz I know how to drop the weight so it really doesn't bother me
>>36377320
And A little under a year.. I just ate the same shit day in and day out and was super anal about my diet.. Did a PPLPPL lifting heavy weights everyday and rarely did cardio.
>tfw 20 now and hopefully will make it somewhat by 21 so I can slay bar sluts

What a fucking pleb, being bothered about not giving in to social pressure.
Are you Worst Korean or something?
>>36376251

>>36378914
>thinking there's a stop on the road to fitness

>>36376827
Amen to this this.
I can always get back on my keto/intermittent fasting routine after a cheat, but the first couple of days are hard as fuck. Which is why I prefer not to cheat at all.
Sometimes it's a fuckup that'll last a couple of days, and it all starts with one little cheat.
For example, a couple of Saturday's ago I decided to "refeed" by eating some pizza with the family. My plan was to go back on track the next day. 12 hours into my fast I ended up buying a box of Little Debbie's brownies and devouring the whole thing. Shit is seriously my kryptonite. I could not stop myself. I managed to gain control the next day, but the cravings were a nightmare.
