ready to kill myself already tee bee eych
>>36997887
Binged. Trying to stick to 1500 calories is killing me. Might go up to 1600 now I'm 10lbs from my goal.
>>36997887
The weight is just not fucking leaving as fast as it was. Going to go for an aggressive -1500 cal for the next 2 weeks only. I want to see my fucking abs. 8lbs to go.
Just hammered a whole box of KD but it's rest day and I'm not getting off the couch all day.
fed up
Last week I was stalling pretty hard and then I binged the last couple days so i'm up 2 lbs from where I was stuck last week
At least the occasional fuck up week usually gets me back into it hardcore, only 8 lbs from the upper end of a healthy weight
2 weeks into cutting, currently lost 10lb. I'm aiming to lose another 40 by August and am currently on 1200 a day diet.
W-will I make it?
>>36997887
Down 6lbs in a month. About 8 weeks out from goal. The hunger is unrelenting.
not even started yet
I'm at 175lb/5'9, 17% bf right now. When the fuck do I get to see abs?
>>36998435
Get fruit anon. It's surprisingly filling and you feel less guilty if you end up binging
>>36998076
You can make it to the healthy weight range anon, I believe in you
Just started it today - I don't have much to loose desu but I want to keep a strict diet for the month.
Out of curiosity, what are the deficits some of you are maintaining? I'm trying to cut by 600 or 700.
goin good, down 8 kg so far from february 1. Although this friday and saturday i drank a shitton of alcohol and probably gained half a kilo. No worries tho, my finishdate 1 july looks good
>>36997887
It's going, breh.
Started at 375 in October, currently 264. My back is finally recovered from a nasty sprain, it's been two weeks but I'm excited to get under the bar again tomorrow.
Keep it up, brothers. Everybody makes it through.
Pretty good, actually. I started out as a fat shit, dropped 26 pounds so far and am now a somewhat less fat shit. 10 to 15 more pounds to my goal.
>>36998518
Dragonfruit is actually my go-to for filling fruits. It's like 250kcal per fruit and it sticks with you. I got tricks and all from the last time I gave this a go, still gotta deal with the hunger.
over 100 lbs in 7 months wtf. Is thaty even possible? or do you mean october 2014?
>tfw only 15 lbs to go
desu if I really buckled down I could do it this month. taking care of all of my meals has really helped, cardio was only gonna get me so far
>8 lbs down since april
>veins starting to show on stomach
>abdominals still look the same
>still not happy with my bodyfat
>still 8 more lbs to drop to reach my "goal"
i hope there will be some significant visual changes after 4 more weeks
I'm on day 2 of 250mg DNP and 2000 calories
not feeling anything or getting any sides from the DNP, nor seeing any results yet, but hey, I'm just on day two.
COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE PLS HELP ME CUT
>>36998885
I find coffee makes me feel hungry, so it counteracts any weight loss benefits, like hyperactivity.
>>36997926
>i would still stay within my calorie range, but would consume whatever i wanted instead of spinach/chicken/etc
Why don't you just do this every day baka?
>>36998511
At 155lbs
>>36997887
4 weeks in, 6 kgs lost.
4-6 weeks left, im really hoping for some drastic visual changes in those 4-6 weeks.
atleast it feels good to know im doing it right, doing IF and hunger isnt a problem
we are all gonna make it brahs
>>36999355
Im 100% sure coffee doesn't make you hungry. Maybe you don't like the taste so you reach for more food to rid of the film it leaves in your mouth/teeth. Honestly bro learn to love coffee. Add cream or whatever you need to. never seen someone successfully sustain a moderate to long term cut
without it desu, unless theyre on DNP or caffeine pills, or ephedrine, or both.
>>36999503
Fuck yeah, coffee. This guy gets it. No sugar, little if any cream.
>>36997926
You'll be fine. I ate a large pizza by myself yesterday. 4 slices for lunch 4 for dinner. It was just within my calories and it was all I ate for the day. Satisfied my craving and I'm back to clean living today.
So it will actually make you stronger and you will make it
>>36997887
~5 weeks in, 6 lbs lost.
It was rather sloppy at first, but it got a lot better once I got autistic with my calorie counting.
Anyone have some foods with good protein to calorie ratio? Struggling with hitting my recomended protein.
>>36999570
When in doubt, protein powder is your best friend for making ends meet on your daily protein macros.

Crash diet starts Wednesday
>kill me
I'm looking up new recipes for low calorie stuff to try. Tired of the same boring things all the time. I think my cooking is mediocre, and thus it hasn't been satisfying my cravings, and thus I'm tempted to overeat. So I'm gonna put more effort into making stuff that tastes good. I want to learn one new recipe a week.
Trying some "cauliflower buffalo wings" this week. Chop it up, flour coat it, bake it, hotsauce it, bake it some more.
Bought cocoa powder. 15 cals a serving. I'm going to use it to satisfy chocolate cravings. Apparently banana + cocoa powder can make a lot of faux-desserts.
Also reintroducing bread. I'm just not satisfied unless I have something bready. Half a roll isn't gonna kill me.
Recipe of my own that has been successful: healthy burritos. Heat refried beans, add veg, cook, add salsa to heat it, pile it on a wheat tortilla. Tastes like junk food but it has good macros and low cals, about 200-250 per burrito. Can add seasonings and hot sauce as well. Can also add in an egg while cooking it, make sure to stir a lot.
>>36997946
Pft. Try 1200.
>>36999355
Most people find coffee reduces hunger.
Good, reverse dieting now. Lost 9 kg in 6 weeks. Feelsgoodman. Best of luck to all you cutting bros out there.

I eat chocolate whey protons mixed with low amounts of plain cereal. Tastes nice and it also makes me hit my protons goal.
Half-way there. Started in January at 235 lbs, end date is August 18th as long as I can maintain a 2 lbs. a week pace.
This PSMF is going well but I think when I went from Obese to Skinnyfat in 5 months. a 100lbs loss, I caused myself hypogonadism. I guess there's a good side in this, free TRT when I finally convince endo to put me on it.. r-right?

How the fuck? I thought I was bad when it came to cheating. This is insane.

Barely started, I'm a month in and went from 151kg to currently 137, ending the cut at 115-110 hopefully by around the end of the year
I gotta slow it down otherwise I'll end up losing all my hard earned dreamer bulk gains desu
Anyone have tips on maintaining satiety? I tend to eat all of my calories for the day before 5pm most days because I'm a hungry fatty
>>36997887

Fucking kill me.
>1800mg of sodium today
Is there any way I can try and make up for this? Drinking more water? Anything?
>>37000236
>Anyone have tips on maintaining satiety?
intermittent fasting works great for me, nothing but coffee until 2 pm.
also eat a pound of either cabbage or broccoli per day
>>37000236
how about eating filling vegetables like brocoli you fatty
you can eat like 2 lbs of them and they have only 400 calories
>>37000284
I eat grapes.
They fill me the fuck up amd a cup of them is only 62 calories.
>>36999570
I assume you're veg* or something since there's no way this should be a problem if you eat meat:
Tofu
Chickpeas (hummus, falafel)
Black beans

6" fat ass here
Started at 270 2 weeks ago and down to 259 today. The urge to grab shit food and cheat is unrelenting but discipline is key. Will I make it /ft/bros? I still can't bring myself to start lifting at my gym because self conscious about how I would look lifting a bar with 40lbs on it...
>>37000345
My bad 6' not 6"
>>37000345
Might wanna relax on how much your losing don't want any loose skin
>>37000345
Start now, mang. Right now you've got enough body fat that you can easily build up your central nervous system. Further still, lifting 3 times a week will burn about a half a pound of fat on top of your deficit. When you get to where you wanna be weight wise, you're already going to have a decent foundation to start strength training from.
>started with the bar at 390 pounds
I'm in the middle of my first cut and it's going great
Started March 14th (49 days ago) and I'm down 7.5 kg (16.7 lbs) - from 91.5kg (201.7 lbs) to 84 (185lbs) kg. My goal weight at the end of the cut is 80 kg (176 lbs).
Can't wait to start bulking again. Going for a very lean bulk this time.
I kept most of my strength and I plan
>>37000345
stop being a pussy
I just went to the gym and saw a really fat dude lifting babby weights and sweating so much that his entire fucking shirt was soaked. Id seen him before a month or two back as well.

down 16lb in two months
had 600 calories yesterday. only lost strength in chest so its not too bad.
>>37000463
you're gonna make it man
For those of you who are doing well with your cuts, I'd love to hear what your TDEE is, how often you do cardio/HIIT, and what your calorical load is.
for me TDEE is about 2500 kcals
cardio/HIIT 6-7 hours per week
eating about 1900 kcals per day
>>37000271
>>37000284
I eat at least 500g of mixed frozen vegetables a day, I honestly can't bring myself to eating plain broccoli by itself in large amounts though tbqh
If there aren't any other simple ways to supress appetite, I'll gladly sit around hungry tbqh
Almost done with perma cut, but want to get to 150 before bulking and I've been stuck at 165 for about a month now, any advice guys?
>>36997887
Been doing psmf while cruising. Down like 6.5kg or so. Might hit 100kg before I stop when going on leave. Kinda splurged on my free meal yesterday and prolly set me back half a pound.
>>37000616
Not sure of my exact TDEE, but I currently am cutting on 3000kcal on off days and 3800kcal on training days, losing 1kg a week consistently, and I do no cardio at all, just strength training
>>36997887
Not bad. I hate myself but I'm at an all time low so that's nice.
>>37000634
>>37000634
Reduce daily calories by 500, see if you lose any weight after a week, if you do then keep the same calories until you plateau again, then repeat. If you don't then just reduce calories further.
Or just do more cardio, or a combination of more cardio and the above step
>>37000634
Increase your deficit. Cutting gets harder the lower your bodyweight gets because your BMR is going down with it.
its going fucking fabulous
apart from some vodka last week, i've not broken it since i began 2 weeks ago, and i doubt that i will at this point
Can't wait for summer vacation lads
Planned schedule:
>wake up at 10am
>pop some yohimbine, stretch, hydrate and hit the treadmill at 11 for an hour
>shower and coffee, be in the lab by 2
>Home at 8, study for MCAT and eat dinner
>Gym at 12, powdered jew afterwords, and then to sleep by 2
Gonna be a hella comfy cut
>>36999950
It seems good, cut at 1700 and then lower it in a couple weeks or a month
>Start a cut two weeks ago
>Living with family and sundays are always big meal days for lunch (sunday roast etc. + desserts)
>Didn't really track every day, not a lot of logs to go over
>Lost like 1lb maybe
>Extremely suspicious because now I'm using MFP to barcode scan shit and tally up I should already have been cutting before I started, yet didn't change weight, at least nowhere near as fast as everyone going >1 month >10kg+ etc
I've decided since I've eaten TDEE today to just drop it and get back to maintenance + resume increasing my weights for lifts, aim to get much more muscle than I have now to make the next cut way more effective.
Currently about 193lb/6' and (thanks to new calipers that arrived) 19%bf. This all make sense?
>>36997887
Doing a small cut over a few weeks. Is it worth it to do cardio when going to gym 3 times a week? Only looking to cut a few % of fat.
>>37000345
Just write down what you're going to buy at the grocery and only buy that and eat that
Don't be a faggot, no one cares what you do at the gym as long as you don't go full retard and break shit
>tfw had to start with just the bar or less than 20 pounds on everything because I had no muscle
>gave 0 fucks
>>37000788
>Is it worth it to do cardio when
Stopped reading there. You should be doing Cardio everyday.
My weight is 83 kg and my height 1.78. 1500 kcal its too much for a cut? I am About 20% bf
>>36997887
So is it bad to cut too much too fast? My weight loss calories clocks in at about 2200-2300 calories, yet I only eat about 100-1200 a day and still work out. I mean, I eat healthy and everything and spread it out.
>>37000834
1000-1200
>>37000834
"Too much too fast" is only really a concern if you're worried about losing muscle mass along the way.
There's also the concern about excess skin if you're starting as a fupacabra.
The "500 calorie deficit" rule of thumb exists because it conveniently minimizes the damage in either case.
>>37000825
pls respond
As a Uni student with only access to a hot plate, nutribulet and microwave, how do I into healthy cheap eating?

Assuming you have a pot to go with that hotplate, you have everything you need to prepare most, if not all, veggies.
You're good to go, m8.
>>37000509
it takes 4 days to feel the heat bro
read ANY info on it.
Cutting at 1000 cal deficit. 2500 maintenance. 1000-1500 cal/day for a month.
Anyone with similar experience?
>>37001131
That's about what my caloric budget is, so I know the feeling all too well, familia.
Guys my scale broke and I don't have any money what the fuck do I do
Not weighing myself makes me anxious
>>37001156
Eat things you're familiar enough with to estimate by eyeballing.
All else fails, double up on the cardio if you're worried about overeating.
>>37001169
Oh the food scale is fine
It's the body scale that broke
>>37001187
How do I reading comprehension.
I dunno, does your gym not have a scale? Every gym I've been to had one somewhere.

>>37001016
brown rice, chicken breast, steamed broccoli.
Working on it. Cutting on mess food so it's pretty much impossible to calorie count, but it's going well regardless. Just eating less carbs and cleaning my diet up.
>>37003557
It's as effective as it is grueling. Follow the protocol as written in The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook and you'll be fine.
>>37001858
only if you want to bulk up. vacuum is best for cutting brah
Help me /fit/, I'm in a tough spot right now.
So this winter I hit my peak of 147 lbs (5'8 grill) and got so disgusted with myself that I couldn't take it anymore, went on a cut, and have since lost about 15 lbs.
I think I only have another 5-10 to go before I get to my goal body.
My boyfriend, who is very fit, has been mildly supportive, but recently sat me down and basically told me that he likes fat girls and doesn't want me to lose anymore weight.
So now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm so close to my goal, how could I possibly give up now? But at the same time, I know I'll never have the tits or ass he wants (especially tits) and losing more weight would just make it worse. I know I could do squats for my ass, but he also doesn't like girls with any muscular definition.
>>37003584
I did it for a week and lost over 10lbs of what I assume was water weight, but I'm worried that it will just come back the instant I change my diet.
I was going to try and make the transition easier by going from a strict PSMF and then slowly easing into a more normal ketogenic diet
5'10" recovering fatty here.
Was 315 in September, now down to 275.
I'm constantly hungry all the time, but I don't want to give up now.
>>37001016
You can cook a lot of things in a microwave and/or a pot on a hotplate. Soups, stews, casseroles in the microwave, boiled dishes, steamed foods.
>>36999736
Try vegetables such as choko and winter melon. You can eat 2 lbs of it for under 200 calories. Choko is good stir-fried or in a broth, and winter melon is good in soups.
>>37003605
Think about exactly who you're losing the weight for.
Tfw 1800 calorie deficit thanks to 250mg dnp
>Just did my weekly weigh in and for the first time ever I didn't lose any weight this week despite eating 1500 cal and HIIT cardio 5 times a week
I thought plateauing was a meme, wat do?
>>37005333
Maybe recalculate your TDEE.
But most likely it is nothing, just ignore it and keep going.
>>37005422
>>37005333
I hit a plateau when i was cutting at 1600 calories after 2 months. So i recalculated and cut back to 1400 cals. It's working well brehs. Nearly there! I can't wait to start slow bulking again
>used to cut on a 1K deficit
>losing almost 4kg a month
>now struggling to cut on a 750 ~ 500kcal deficit
>weight loss is stalling cause I fuck up often
I always wake up at night hungry as fuck, cutting is hell
>>36997936
>Abs not showing at 10.5%
Nigga either you need to do some serious core work or you're not 10.5%. Grats on progress tho.
I'm on my first successful cut ever. Down 40 lbs (~265 to ~225) since january and I want to cut down to either 210 or 215 but I'm slacking towards the end here. IF ain't magic but it'll get you in the right mindset to cut properly.
>Cut from 175lbs on new years and slacked until like late march then kicked it into high gear to 148-150ish now
>tfw reached goal weight and don't really know what to do from here
>tfw start slacking a bit because no motivation because no goal
How the holy heck do I get my abs to show without losing more weight. I'm not skelly but my mum said I look thin and should stop losing weight but I just want to get chad level abs
>>37006118

>>37006182
Rebulk, recut
Or get some skill related goal like achieving a muscle up or 1/2/3/4 or something
>>37006199

Also if you want abs work your abs more
Down 15kgs
Feeling light and fit as fuck 2bh
Adding running to my cut made all the difference
It's going alright, but last week I wound up taking it easy in the gym and not running (to try to prevent fucking up my knees) and ate too much Haribo over the weekend. Could be worse, but it's disappointing. Back to the grind

Yeah, I regret how last week went, but it's not the norm. Now i'm back to 6day/week in gym and 3-4day/week cardio. I fucked up, but it's nothing that can't be undone
>>36997946
iam doing 1100.
though once a week i eat like 3k cals.
last week i prepared a gourmet party, was in the kitchen for 5 hours preparing 10 different meat dishes + fruit sate and garlic bread.
damn right i ate 3500cals that day. still my weight was lower then the day before after like 3 days. so it only costed me like 1-2 days.
>>37000888
i have been doing over a 1kcut a day,
i kept going to the gym lifting the same weights, and eat my protein.
in 2 months i didnt gain a single bit of strength, but i have not lost any either (okay maybe the same weight is getting a bit hard to get to 5 reps each time, but i say its worth it to cut 10 kg in 2-3 months)
>>37001858
1 meal a day with vegetables and chicken breast. thats about 700 cals. you can even add a cookie or 2 to get to 800-900 but i would recommend some fatty meat like chicken wings (3-4)
started my first cut today, please tell me I'm going to be ok /fit/
>>37001016
How about quark?
Quark is 12g protein and 70kcals for every 100g.
>>36997887
8kg in 4 months, it's slowing down so I'm thinking about eating less. I also kinda want to stop cutting because it's annoying.

Eh. First cut ever after shitty bulking for 20 fucking years. I've been eating bad the last four days cause I've been visiting friends and family, but I'm heading home now and it's back onto it tomorrow.
DNP doesn't hurt. Been losing weight even while eating semi-bad.
>>36997887
I am only cutting while my shoulder heals then I am back to bulking, because I can't go into the sun anyway while I am on accutane.
>Was huge fatass
>Cut on about 1200-1500 calories a day after new years resolution
>No longer fatass
>Want to lower bodyfat so eat at 500 calorie deficit
>Stall constantly
Doing a bit better now, but cravings are hell
Cut is going great, Im a recovering fatty I started ~25% and aprox 1 month away from 10% feelsgoodman im somewhat fit for the first time in my life, I dont get tired from walking like 2km anymore and can jog about 800 meters (pls no bully im working on it)

Yeah the cravings fucking suck (by cravings I assume you mean craving food) gum, black coffee and water are your friends my man give them a go
>>37008912
Yeah, I've found water helps, but gum doesn't do much for me and I have enough trouble sleeping so I try not to have any coffee after about 4 pm. I might start drinking more black tea or something
>>37008928
T b h ive never tried black coffee but have heard it from other anons, I get real hungry in between lunch and dinner and green tea helps tide me over have you tried that? It also makes you a fat burning machine
Fuck your memes. I'm doing great with old school methods.
>small meals throughout the day
>plenty of carbs
>moderate protein
>low fat
>lots of green tea
>steady state cardio daily
>high volume push/pull/legs routine
>>37008953
I'm usually fine during lunch since I keep busy, but morning and nights make it difficult. I'm going to start having more coffee in the mornings and tea at the nights
>>37008971
How do you do cardio everyday on top of your leg workouts and keep your joints undestroyed?
>>37009530
Not him but normal healthy living? People don't crumble from using their bodies you know.
>>36997887
Gyno is disappearing, abs are emerging. Starting weight is 215, current weight is 185, goal weight is 173lbs by July 1.
>>37009541
I went from no cardio to 4x20 minutes per week and the second week my knees were killing me.
Right pic is current
cutting at 1800kcal, should I lower it more?
Could anyone give me a bf estimate perhaps?
lost fifteen pounds with my cut, just finished my first real lift in months it was great, im bringing my calories in from 1200 to 1700 to start lifting again, is that acceptable /fit?
>>37009662
How much weight have you lost? Over what period of time? What's your current weight and height?
>>36998388
with hardwork and dedication yes, youre doin good brah keep up the good work
>>37009676
Was absolutely sedentary on the left pic, went from 93kg (left pic) to 80kg currently. Left pic is in february last year, so about year and a half (had fucked up knees and elbows, couldn't train 6 months or so, and i'm currently only doing cardio and calisthenics since i've no money for gym)
182cm height
>>37009555
Aw shit nigga you lost so much weight you went into manlet status, rip
>>37009597
Are you overweight?
It's going fucking AWESOME. So well that I decided to have a cheat weekend. Over the past 2-3 days, I've had at least 30 beers, a protein shake a day, just generally a FUCKTON of calories over what I *thought* was my maintenance threshold.
Haven't gained an ounce. I think my probiotic regimen fixed my microbiome, and my high fiber, high protein diet in combination with regular exercise has sped my metabolism up to ridiculous levels.
Pretty fucking jazzed. But now back to my diet.

found your problem
why do people suggest low carb
im still in a deficit, higher carb, and my muscles look 10x better
so honestly, why cut carbs?
>>37009910
Go eat a pizza
>>37003605
do not associate with gains goblins, lift
>>37009937
Low carb diet works for me because I feel less hungry when low carb. One piece of bread and I go fucking ravenous, I can scarf down 4-5k kcal in one sitting :(
Also, bump for bf% estimate pls >>37009662

Hello redd.it
>>37009937
Different styles of dieting work better for different people. There are different systems of satiety in human biology, and different people have different affinities for them. Low carb (or rather high-fat) works great for people who have a satiety system with a high affinity for leptin, a hormone that regulates hunger and revolves around fat intake. Naturally a diet that revolves around fat would work well when you rely on a satiety hormone that regulates intake of fat.
>>36997887
First cut and it feelsgoodman
Started at 194 pounds and now at 182
This is marks my first bulk and now cut so i'm nervous if i can pull it off. So far i've gotten good results though
>>37009967
Do you have a tape measure and scales? Of course you do now google "navy bodyfat calculator"
>>37009987
my muscles look better though, when I cut carbs I feel "flat".
>>37010054
I'm guessing it's because the mass/volume of your muscles comes from them being flooded with glycogen (it binds 3x as much water per gram than fats/ketones).
>>37010081
i'll still lose fat if I stay in a deficit, no?
all that changed was getting slightly more carbs and slightly less fat/protein
>>37009889
>>37004302
>Think about exactly who you're losing the weight for.
god damn this, couldn't say it better.
>>37003605
Dump him, get bf who worships your body, enjoy happy life whilst he's saddled with a landwhale
>>37010108
Just keep going with whatever diet you have the easiest time staying consistent with. People with qualitatively restrictive diets tend to develop really evangelical attitudes towards them and act like they're the only way to go regardless of the fact that other options exist. Just keep doing whatever works best for your body/personality.
6th week in, lost 8 kg. Feel pretty good, no cheat days needed thusfar. Went from 113,6 kg to 105,3 kg. Goalweight 90 kg. (1.96cm)
>>37009765
>kek
Started in July at 292 lbs
Holidays and most of April were pissed away with real life things getting in the way, but i'm at 222 lbs now.
Goal is 200 lbs, but I'm not 100% on that with my frame.
6'3"
>>37003605
you gotta get out of that relationship, asap. Is he abusive? I wouldn't say anything, if he was. Just grab your stuff, and disappear. Work out find another boyfriend.
>>37009987
Interesting. When I see people on youtube that are ketomode. They always look healthy, fit or at least happy and with white teeth. Maybe it's superficial of me. But that coupled with the progress pictures I see, and the science, and even the anecdotal("amg it cured my cancer and beetus!"). I'm convinced that this is the way to go.
started cutting yesterday, 5'9'' and 143lbs here and going for -1500 cal/ day, how much do you think I can lose in 3 weeks?
>>37010336
Anon from before here. I actually did keto before and it worked splendidly, although I feel like the fringe benefits are what made it work so well for me (ex: keeping me the fuck away from snack food, keeping me from eating mindlessly at parties). I still eat more fat than I used to. My mom feel for the fat-free meme hard when I was a kid, and I grew up terrified of eating fat despite the fact that it's a completely natural macronutrient that works fine as part of a healthy human diet. Going keto helped me get over that irrational fear of fat.
>>37003605
At first I didn't really get it because of the units but then I converted them and I still don't get it
How the fuck can you look fat at 66kg when you're 173cm tall?
>>36997887
I just ordered a chinese takeaway... so not well lads :(
>>37010457
aye my only problem is the micros.... I saw the movie fat sick and nearly dead. And I want to try the juice fast for 10 days. But the sugar from the fruit to make the nasty kale taste good is going to be shit.
>>37010462
I don't get it either. I am 5'7 and can tell you I highly doubt this person looks fat at that weight. Sounds like they have some issues to work on themselves before the whole "boyfriend issue" should be addressed.
>>36997887
Fan-fucking-tasting.
For some reason I was not hungry at all yesterday, so I fasted pretty much all day until right before I went to bed, when I ate 3 chicken thighs that I didn't even crave, I just wanted protein to keep muh gains.
Outside of that just feeling full as fuck off 1200kcal daily of moose steak and (undressed) salad
Former fatty here, down to 185 from 255
Look like a normal human bean now, but I want abs by my birthday.
Also IF is a goddamn miracle
>>36998640
Make sure you are keeping your cardio anaerobic, brah

No clue.
I have an okay ass even though my tits have never been great. Will post pics shortly.
>>37010289
Nah, he's not abusive or anything like that.
>>37010110
It's weird. It actually originally was for him. Seeing him so fit made me want to be the gf he deserved. I had no idea at the time that he was in to fat girls.
>>36997926
I recommend doing refeeds every two weeks, or once a week if you're deep into your cut. There it would be good to have a cheatmeal. I mean, timing dosen't really matter, but I just prefer it there.
>>37010560
Lift for you, girl bro. There's no reason to just adhere to his fetish.
What makes you so hung up on what he deserves anyways? Don't live your life for other people, silly bitch.
>>36997936
That's a pretty slow cut desu fambruhrino. Maybe you should lower your cals more

So I suppose I'm projecting. It's the paranoia in me from seeing too many movies. I feel like people would back stab or destroy my life if I disagreed with them.
Alright before you do anything, have a serious convo with the bf about what you're going to do. And if it doesn't work out, you're gonna have to leave the relationship.
>>37010582
Tbqhwy I'm starting to realize that I put him on a pedestal, more so than I probably should have.
>>37010527
> Fat Sick
Sounds like vegan propoganda.
>>37010630
Seems that way. Maybe you should re-evaluate your relationship. You should be with someone who wants you to be the best version of you, and that version is whatever you want for yourself.
If your dude just wants you to be his fetish bait then your relationship is going to suck ass. Plus you're cute enough, just fuckin' get fit and find a good lad who respects your accomplishments.
Stop putting people on pedestals.
>>37010593
>>37010607
Being happy with yourself is far more important than someone making you happy. Lift and tell him to get used to it.
That said, L O N D O N???
I'm in the middle of a cut and am hell bent on getting a six pack before my next bulk. Little issue though - all my life I've been overweight. Sometimes by not much at all, sometimes by quite a lot, so I've got a little bit of loose skin, I know that for a fact. My question is... would posting a couple pictures of my current state/pulling a bit of loose skin "up" get me accurate assessments of just how much I can expect to have after the weight loss is complete? Or is this place just a hell hole of hate and misinformation?
tl;dr - would posting pictures of my body here be detrimental or beneficial in the long run? Nothing's gonna hurt my feefees, just don't know how much collective knowledge this place has.
>>37010663
post pics of yourself pussy so we can see what we're working with. P.S. /fit/ doesn't owe you shit fat boy
>>36997887
I...I don't know.
I started the cut at 178, the past three days my weight was 183-185 yesterday was 183.5
Today I weighed in at 176....
I have never seen my weight fluctuate like this, so I am at a loss.
I will say I did seem slightly more vascular at 185 than at 178.
..just chalk it up to glycogen and sodium or what?
>>37010631
It kind of is.... maybe like a visible 2%. The narrator's doctor included meat/poultry/dairy as being part of the problem. But hes right about sugar and processed foods of course being evil. Other than that, there was no "meat is evil!"
But the main focus was eating micronutrients, where so many come from vegetables and fruit. So the purpose of the juice fast was to drink the veggies/fruit for 10-60 days. To get the body's immune system back in order. The amount of vegetables and fruit you need to eat daily is like the size of your torso. So the thing was to juice it all and drink it. I don't see why you can't eat meat, but i guess that's their spin.
It was an awesome documentary tbqh. Like 4-5 people in the doc saved their own lives because of the main guy interviewing everybody. Warmed my heart so far more than anything this year.

>>36997887
I don't fucking know man it sure is hard. I'm 5 days in.
I have to stick to just below 1800 but I think I'm eating 2000 every other day. So I'm still cutting, but not as much as I'd like to.
Good thing at least I started to eat raw vegetables and fruits and cut most of the junk food off.
>>37010683
>>37010716
If this thread's still up when I get home I will. Or I'll just post in the next cutting thread. I wanna combine 3-4 pictures into one and post that.
Thanks ya cunts.
my tdee is 3239 calories
how much can i cut
can i cut 2000 calories? 2200?
>>37010755
Why would you do this my man.
Just stick to the -500, starving yourself is not good either.
>tend to eat when bored
>tend to eat when stressed
>finals week, then nothing to do for half a month
>just binge ate three bowls of popcorn (thankfully only about 150 cals total)
Fuckshit. Might go camping in the rain just to keep myself away from the fridge. How do you deal with boredom eating, guys? Obvious answer is to try and not have downtime, but between jobs it gets hard.
Also two finals tomorrow and I just started studying 20 mins ago. Capital F Fucked.
>>37010753
sounds good my man /fit/ can be mean but even just going on here will get you in the mood to better yourself. Just keep that six pack in mind the whole time.
>>37010790
i want to lose the maximum amount of weight, no dilly-dallying
>>37010819
Starvation won't do you any good, retard.
Weight comes off in time. You want a lifestyle change or to just go low and then catapult back up?
Do it the right way, the time is going to pass anyways.
>>37003605
bro girl to bro girl, been there.... but was smart enought to follow whan made me feel good about myself, the gym, the lifts, and the healthy eating.
If he see that you look happy with your progress and want to withdrawn that and take it away, maybe he is not boyfriend material for you or anyone.
My ex bf used to have a fetiche with weightgaining girls with no control of her food disires, and i used to binge few years ago. Got back into binging, and gain lots of weight, even stop lifting for a while becuase of that guy negativiy, and took very long to got back in track after i broke up with him.
Explain him you are happy this way, if he doesnt get it run away.
>>36997946
I binged too. I ate 24 empanadas, half an ice lemon ice cream pie, and a ton of homemade peanut butter with honey. fuck
>>37010874
>24 empanadas
How the fuck?
Also I can't buy a pie or cookies or anything else, as I will eat the entire thing in one day no matter what I try.

can you please share HIIT routine?
>>36997887
Pretty annoying lad, if I cut at 0.5 kg -1 kg per week my lifts suffer but if I cut at 0.2-0.3 kgs per week my lifts stay the same however i'll be doubling if not tripling the time.
Man I wish I was a newbie again. You novices have it easy.

Are you 7 ft tall and morbidly obese?
Tbhfam for you are super fat, you can do a bigger deficit.
2000kcal with nutrient and mineral supplementation should be healthy as fuark
Been one month on a -1000 to -800 deficit cut because i want this remnant of my past life hanging around in my gut gone as fast as possible. Pic related.
>>37001385
You do NOT need that much protein.
You binged because you aren't eating enough carbs and fats.
All macronutrients are important, don't neglect them.
If you try eating a more balanced diet, your cut will be easy as fuck, and your lifts will still progress while cutting (albeit very slowly)

6 ft 22 yrs old male 300ish pounds (i might be less, idk)
>>37010932
thats how binging works.
Anywho, developed few strategies to work with this.
Just take your dish and put the piece of... cake or whatever on it.... finish it .. and wait 10 minutes doing something else.. if you still want to eat another piece by then , then do so, but do not sit in front of the whole damned pie and eat it while wartching netflix or whate4ver cause you wont stop .
First day today.
Had an omelette for breakfast with some watermelon and toast on the side.
Macros all met so far.
>>37011448
Bodybuilding.com agrees with you but MFP says 2400. IIFYM says also 2400 at 30% body fat, which is probably what you're at, if not higher.
Fatty fat fat here. Pretty bad desu, senpai. Lost 30lbs in 4 months. Slow as fuck progress because I keep falling off the wagon. But at least I keep climbing back on and it gets a little better and easier each time. Currently 260 poons. Goal is to be 220 or lower by the end of the year. Wish me discipline, broskies
>>36997936
If you don't have defined and at 10% you are not at 10% or you need to incorporate core workouts into your routine

that doesn't help me 'cause once i'm in that mode i will not stop, and if i do i'm counting down the seconds and will grab it as soon as the 10 mins are over. it sucks cause i'm halway towards my goal yet i keep fuggin up
Working on my refeed: +100 kcal each week. Still losing weight but have almost no cravings, had one weird day when I *really* wanted cheese, but managed not to overshoot my TDEE.

Well... we all have a little strugle ourselves with food sometimes, on a regular wide look to your diet, i would say its not a nutrient deficiency that your body craves whenever tasting sugar, Although i would actually definetely add some more protein to it, at least -50 to 60 grams ---
Going into whats important
TIP N° 1... You could try to replace cheat meals with a quest bar every day, Comes in many flavours, cookies and peanut butter is by far my favourite, it literally taste like cookies if you bake it and work for many decent desserts base adding some sour cream and cocoa powder . there´s barely sugar on them, most carbs are fiber. And maybe when you face an actual dessert you wont be as anxoius and desperated. im not saying this are totally fine and clean food, but it sa better alternative -
Tip N° 2.
Whenever you know you are having a cheat meal have a pretty subtancious protein shake before doing it, banana, pb.. protein, so you will be very full and will eat less of that sugary shit.
Tip N°3 - Just stop yourself... dont argue with anxiety for eating more, dont fight it... just accept its ok to feel uncofrotable for a while.. until it goes away.. dont feed the neuronal paths of giving in whenever your body craves for carbs and sugars, and it will disipate by its own in a while.
hope these are helpful for you
If it works, i used to binge all the time in sugar and fat and now ive been clean for almost a year.
>>37012269
Damn that's a long torso bro!
Respect for the low bodyfat though
