Goddamnit. Cutting general thread I guess.
It's ok, anon. I binged on strawberries and bluberries today. No regrets.
>start off 190
>cut down to 181

I know it's water weight from beer, and extra food still digesting from pizza, but fuck, feels bad man.

>>36950275
Blaha said there is no point cutting, better turn into a 250 pund beast. only insecure closet homosexuals care abot being skinny. and real men want to b alpha as fuck, and that means getting fucked by alphas ( like in Rome time), so if u dont get fucked in the ass by a 40 year old, then there is no hope for u, rather just murder urself u freak of nature !
Not cutting but trying to bulk very clean.
>have a friend come over for a coffee today
>buy a four pack of small double chocolate muffins
>eat two
>fucking 660 calories
Now im hungry af. Ive gottwn my proteins but want to eat my delicious tuna pasta waiting in my fridge. What do? Attack the pasta and call it a cheat day?
Anyone else find cutting really easy ? If I eat alow carb high protein diet , with a lot of fiber as well, I don't even feel like eating though I can physically sense my body is hungry
Are you guys using myfitnesspal?
How do you gauge your daily net caloric intake if you're weight lifting?
I have mine set at 2050 kcal I'm usually +- 150 cals but it doesn't my current exercise except for steps.
tl;dr how many calories are burned working out?
>>36950354
Nice buddy. I'm a week into my diet and I've lost 3 lbs. I've definitely noticed that in my later sets I seem to have no gas left in the tank...

How? You would have to eat like a kilo to make a significant impact
>>36950400
same here
i honestly find bulking harder, as in, sometimes i'll undereat on a bulking day
>>36950406
There's a strength training option under the cardio section to gauge calories lost.
Not sure how accurate it is though; I'm doing high weight low rep so I assume it's less.
>>36950519
Are you skinny build?
I'm starting from 245, cutting is 9000x harder than bulking for me. Although, bulking is what I've been doing for the last 24 years...
>>36950519
This. I'm a former fatty and now I find bulking harder.
>>36950548
yeah im coming from the other side
Started my cut 1 month ago started at 190 and now at 180. Think i can be shredded at ~170? I can post a pic at 190 if anyone cares, pic related is last night at 180
>>36950591
i care, post.
>>36950591
What did you look like at 190?
>mirin'
>>36950500
I ate 1,6 kilos of the stuff throughout the day. It makes an impact.
>>36950605

1 Month lifting and dieting progress.
A-am I going to make it?
>>36950470
2 medium apples, 2 big bananas, a fistful of dried cranberries.
About 500 cals in total.
I know it's not a total disaster but it completely wiped out my planned 500 cal deficit.

>>36950646
i would definitely be excited for 170.
good luck bud
Been cutting for three months and lost eight kilos, but don't feel a lot less fat. Starting to worry I've been losing muscle as well, so I might cut less aggressively.

Where the fuck do I get calories from? Fish and vegetables and eggs aren't cutting it. I shove like 4 bananas and a cup of almonds just to make up most of my missing calories daily,
I'm debating just going into a full cut since eating would be easier, but I'm not happy with my current weight, cutting would just make me weigh less.

>>36950745
im at 25% carbs, 45% prot, 30% fat. Though sometimes I displace the carb ratio by just a bit though no more than max 5% difference. Before I was retarded as hell and did no fat and it made me had hunger cravings that were destroying me. I follow Keto now though which I think its working for me, appetite control anyway.

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
Are fruits actually bad for cutting? I'm a fat ass and I heard fruits are healthy for you, so I usually eat some in the morning as a light breakfast, yet /fit/ says otherwise.
What's the real deal?
>>36950901
Anon why ;_;
>>36950965
Depends on the fruit desu.
Dried fruits and bananas are full of calories. Great for bulking. Apples aren't so bad.
All of them are full of sugar.
>>36950965
Ignore almost everything we say. Fruits healthy as shit. Just don't eat that canned or pre cut shit.
>>36950965
Fruits have them micronutrients, but are also like 90% carbs w a tiny bit of fiber, so in terms of macros they're pretty shit. Don't not ever eat fruit like /fit/ might make you think, but don't be eating like 10 servings a day thinking you're being a real healthy guy like any other normy would think.
My TDEE is 3142 apparently.
If i'm running a 2200 kcal diet am I going to lose weight faster or is it unsustainable?
>>36950653
>dried cranberries
Dried fruit usually has added sugar, buy them fresh or frozen.
>>36950945
explain this to me desu
>>36951041
You will lose weight faster and it's only unsustainable if you don't have the willpower to do it.
>>36951060
I don't know any science correlation, but whenever I chew gum I get hungry as fuck. I try to avoid it whenever possible. I always just thought it was the same for other people.
>>36950945
>>36950991
well my logic is that I can't eat food while chewing gum, and as soon as I spit it out, I'll pop in a new piece
>>36951074
6 lbs in two weeks but the hunger... goddamn
I've been drinking over a gallon of water a day to fill the void.
>>36950823
Unless you're gonna eat a whole lot of nuts and bananas, eating 2600+ calories a day on paleo is going to be rough.
And since you're trying to lose gut, that's not really plausible. It sounds like you just want to cut.
>>36951093
>>36951060
I'm the same way, chewing gum is like pseudo-snacking to me. I have heard that it fools your stomach into believing that food is coming and your body reacts by lowering your PH in anticipation of digestion. That could just be broscience though

Is it really that necessary to track your macros on a cut as a fatass? Currently 180 and need to lose 50 more pounds. I suppose I could use it to shed those last few pounds for when I'm near my goal weight, but I'm unsure if it's really all that necessary at my size when I'm eating mostly healthy food while staying at a calorie deficit.
Im getting so sick of this cut. Im doing everything right, im in a calorie deficit and im losing weight. But i still look the SAME!! I´ve lost in total 10 kg. The first 4-5 kg changed my body a lot and i looked a lot better. After that ive lost another 5 kg and i look exactly the same, I still have massive lovehandles. What am i doing wrong?
>>36951213
>I like to chew gun to get rid of hunger
>>36951331
Are you lifting?
>>36951317
Not at all, unless you lift and then its just protein
You don't need to track them, just make sure you don't eat garbage like fast food

>>36950965
They're healthy, but don't fall for the "you can eat however many you want, how can fruits be bad for you????" meme. They DO contain calories and not an insignificant amount. As long as you do keep track of the calorie-intake from fruits and don't assume they'll magically melt off you you should be fine.
anybody got any tips to eating low sugar greek yogurt? I find the taste nasty as hell. Everytime I eat one of these (2 of them daily, 80 calories per 13 proteins per each 1 is fucking god mode for me) I find myself having to do a combination of eating as a mouthful and then quickly drinking water or else I prob gag or somehting.
>>36951622
I make smoothies with greek yogurt.
I can't stand it on its own.
I know the feeling breh, i fucked up 2 days ago I don't know what came over me, I have low calories stuff at home but I ate a shit ton anyway. Lots of chesse, bread, popcorn chips oh the chips..
All you can do is call it a day lrn from it continue your cut the next day as usual.
>>36951622
i refuse to do it. I get chobani vanilla. Its 13g protein and 130 cals. Im ok with the sugar. Id gladly eat 50 cals worth of sugar if it means i enjoy the taste.

Hey I'm a fat Bitch and this is like my second time on this board but I don't know where else to post this and this seems like a right thread
I'll preface by saying I hardly do any exercise at all, I'll be playing basketball pretty much everyday over the summer tho and I'm gonna try and go join a gym during that time with my friends too. Im 5'10. I was 205 pounds in February and I weighted myself this morning at 186. I changed my diet a lot, no fast food or anything, a lot of fruit, some nuts every few days, not too much meat but I'm still eating some
I've had a hard time losing weight, I eat usually around or sometimes under 1500 calories a day but I haven't lost much weight since like mid or late March when I was 190. Is there anyway I can speed this cutting shit up? Should I eat more lean meats and fewer veggies? I'd like to lose another 5 pounds in the next two weeks before I join a gym.
>>36952070
>I only eat x calories why am I not losing weight?
Love these posts
>>36952070
1. Track everything with a scale, don't ballpark it. A spoon of PB looks small but has 100kcals.
2. Join a gym ASAP. Don't wait until you're X pounds. Nobody cares if you're fat at the gym. The sooner you start, the better.
>>36952070
3 solutions
Measure better
Cut harder
Work out more/harder
>>36950275
Hey other cutting anon. Started my cut this week after reaching my strength goals. My question is how much strength can i expect to lose trying to get down to 13-15% body fat. Its still relatively high so i should lose much right? Pic is my fat ass.
>>36952893
if you just eat at 500 cal deficit and get all the protein you need you shouldn't lose any strength.
>i binged proteinbars x2
>>36951267
implying 0.5% of /fit/ knows about neoglucogenesis
>>36952070
if you need to burn some more kcals, just do walking. I see you are not into sports, but walking is just good you know. And as someone said 1, measure better. Get macros right, no matter which ratio meats and veggie if your macros are right, f.rx 40p 30carbs, 40fats is just fine.
Make sure your kcal deficit is set right
>>36953188
typo 40p 30f 30c
>>36951294
try your best to keep track of what you are snacking and try to keep them within your macros as best as possible. Limit yourself
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!
OP here
It just wasn't sitting well with me. Not tonight. I couldn't just sit here, wait for sleep, wait for tomorrow, and do more than I usually do JUST to make up for today's mistakes, all the while hoping I don't fuck up further before bed.
So first I went for a walk, clear my head, get some fresh night air. Ended up going to the supermarket, got some bits and bobs.
Then when I got back I thought fuck it. Dragged the exercise bike in front of the TV to do my SECOND session of the day. Did another hour, working up an even higher than usual deficit: -781 cals. Rar! Not gonna fuck it up this time. I'm gonna have a strong cup of tea now while browsing the Trump general on /pol/ Then I'll go to bed. Tired as fuck after this. Body is stressed but I'll be too busy for the next to days to exercise anyway so it's ok.
We're gonna make it bros. Stumbles are ok, just power through!

Question: people here talk about low-carb diets as necessary for a cut. I thought you needed carbs in addition to protein to prevent your body from just using protein as energy? Should I cut carbs from my diet or try to eat a decent amount?
Additionally, I'm a vegetarian so most of my protons come from dairy, eggs and beans. Should I still cut carbs or does the fact I'm not getting meat protein prevent my body from undergoing ketosis?

>>36953580
you don't need to do keto to lose weight. a simple disciplined deficit is enough.
some of the memes regarding protein, carbs and muscle catabolism here and in the fitness world as a whole are ridiculous. mostly propagated by people selling something. No, your body doesn't start eating muscle at every fucking turn. No you don't need to eat 1k kcals of carbs within 5 seconds of your workout or you'll automatically turn into a concentration camp skelly on the spot. the body is pretty damn smart, it's fantastic at working with what it has. a lot had to go wrong for you to start using your own muscle as fuel. the body had a whole list of sources that it'll use before it turns to that. don't worry about it.
keto is very very difficult. unless you're super disciplined and want it really badly, forget about it. Just cut the normal way.
>>36953692
So eating carbs vs not eating carbs won't affect my cut as long as I'm at a deficit?
Seems odd then that the whole "if it fits your macros" thing is such a meme.
>>36950400
As long as you don't keep shit food in the house it's not that difficult. If your fridge is full of cake, sodas and frozen pizzas though you will eventually lose it and go in on that shit.
Also if the sweet tooth comes calling, binge on fruits instead of pprocessed candies. MUCH less damaging to your cut.
I started my cut the other day and im down 8lbs
Is white rice bad for cutting? I'm eating so much of it these days, it's so cheap and feels so healthy...
>>36953724
that's more for getting bigger, not getting smaller.
for getting smaller, all you need to do is make sure you get enough protein - the rest can be anything; carbs, fat, even alcohol (not recommended but you get my point), as long as you're using more calories than you're eating, every day.
keto is a potent weapon (I'm in keto right now), but it's not easy to do, not easy to plan out. And you certainly can't casually dip in and out of it. basically it's not for noobs, so if you don't want or need it, forget about it.
I'm not even that hungry, I just crave the shit out of my favorite bulking foods. Pic related.

Why not just go swimming or something?
>>36955517
Do you mind sharing what your diet routine is? I'm also assuming that the right idea is to do essentially no exercises right? Maybe just some resistance training?
>>36957138
Gotta refeed once in a while to keep it going. All that cheese might block up your digestion and make your weight artificially higher for a bit, but you're gonna make it bro.
It is 1:30am and I'm starving, I've met my 1500 calories, what can I do to get rid of the hunger?

yes, but calories derived from protein are the most satiating. Its easy to eat tons of rice or oatmeal, harder to eat that amount in chicken or steak.
Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories
Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories
Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories
Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories

nice
being 300 lbs, pretending i can lose 1lb a week i can be healthy in two~ years?
>>36950823
Butter, oil, fatty cuts of meat, nuts.
I just ate some chocolate and cookies and now I feel sick. It's like my body isn't even adjusted to this kind of shit anymore.
>>36959808
You can lose way more than 1 a week, easily
I started at 230 and dropped 10 lbs in the first two weeks then gradually slowed down, you could easily drop 3+/week for months
about 12-13%
trying to get to 10%
tell me how to handle carbs, im trying low carb with a deficit but im starting to feel like shit
what do?
>>36957952
yeah eat your fucking cash
Lads, i'm fairly new and want some advice on how to approach cutting.
I was never fat in my life. I was always into all kinds of sports from handball, riding bmx to rowing.
But for the last two years i heaven't work out and was always drinking.
The ''fattest'' point was in october when i was 87/88kg (i'm 185cm tho) and i didin't looked fat no one believed me i weighted that much.
I decided to go to gym and was doing meme machines and cardio at first just to se how fast i could lose weight, and i got to 78kg by new year.
Since then i actually started lifting and got some pretty decent gains in 4 months or so, but i don't know now how to approach to cutting because i'm not a big eater.
I don't like most of the vegetables, altho' i can eat some of it but can't stand the raw salads, tomatoes, cucumbers and stuff.
So is it okay cutting diet to eat oats in the morning and only a relatively healthy dinner and to start again with cardio?
>>36960189
thanks for the encouragement
>>36950400
Damn you're right.
Even though "carbs are the enemy" is a meme, it really is impossible to gain weight if you aren't eating many carbs.
I'm T1 diabetic so it's actually kind of interesting that I can see the correlation between daily insulin use (more carbs) and weight gain.
Not really possible t ogain weight not eating carbs.
>be me cutting for a while
>almost ready for summer
>feeling like shit for weeks now
>lot of stuff to do for university
>pushing myself in the gym until I feel like I'm about to puke
>can maintain strength and doing well in university but it mentally drains me
>have mad cravings, tired all the time, everything hurts, think I'm also getting sick
>constantly asking myself why I do this anymore
>look in the mirror and some days I feel like I'm almost at my goal and it motivates me, other days I feel like I'm looking small or fat and I am just wasting my time
>been recently cheating on my diet a bit, still kinda maintaining my kcal deficite but eating too much junk
Today I feel like absolute shit, yesterday I had a ton of stuff to do because I needed to finish a project for university, drive home for an hour and then shortly after eating I worked out around midnight. Additionally to my bruises from working out (I think from DL) I fell on the stairs yesterday and now my knees also hurt but I know I will still DL tomorrow because I have this voice inside of me just pushing me forward no matter what. Sry for the blog but I just needed to write this shit down.
> people still believe in the calories in, calories out maymay
> not just enjoying unlimited fruit (minus bananas) and getting lean
plebs, all of you
>>36951643
dude you are not eating enough food
this better be bait
>>36950275
WOOOHOO!!!! Finally hit my goal weight! Former fatty, 5'10" manlet prince, now weighing 154.5 lbs as of this morning! I'm thinking of cutting down to 152-150 lbs to either make it an even 40 lbs (started at 192 lbs at Xmas), or just to get to a nice round number in "150".
>>36957221
go to sleep or play video games
>>36951148
This guy is so awkward it physically hurts.
>Almost at calories for the day
>only 4pm, still going to work out
Fuck, running 2100 calories, I believe thats close to 500 deficit, 6'1" 195lbs
I was starving and just ate a whole cups of (shelled) peanuts and a questbar, and now I don't get dinner... what do i do
>>36965768
>Option 1
Do an extra 60-90 minutes of cardio, earn yourself a dinner.
>Option 2
Pour diet coke down your gullet until bedtime, hoping that the gas, sweetness and cancer prove satiating enough.
>Option 3
Take a sleeping pill and go to bed now. Make sure to not fuck up tomorrow.
>>36965829
(I myself am on day 3 of trying to do this without diet soda. It's too fucking difficult. Tomorrow I'm buying 2 big boxes of Diet Pepsi. Fuck it.)
A little over a month in and I've lost 24~ pounds we're gonna make it guys.
n00b question
How long does it take for your stomach to shrink?
Tfw cutting on 3500 cals.
T thanks
I downed like 3 glasses of water, I gotta still workout. So I am going to go do that.
>Diet pepsi or 17 sounds like it'd work great though
>>36965999
Nice trips
Do you mean the fat or the skin? What are your stats? Height etc?
Skin may or may not reduce in size ever. Being younger and properly hydrated and not losing it too slow, while weight lifting should reduce the chance of a lot of loose extra skin, but if you started over 40% BF you might be fucked either way.
If you're talking just fat, you never know, but by the time you hit mid teens for bodyfat, you should have lost a significant amount of fat from the mid section

>>36966265
half of that was probably water weight, the rest was probably split fat/muscle. Not a good way to lose weight
>>36961190
it's all about counting calories. learn to do that first. then you can expand into other techniques. eat more than TDEE = gain weight. eat less than TDEE = lose weight. end of story.
>>36963245
keep looking in the mirror bro, and focus on a day when you are looking good. usually after chest day pump. remember that time in your head whenever you feel shitty. it will motivate you. keep going.
>>36964221
nice bro. i just hit 151 the other day. i am cutting down after my bulk at 160. my low was 140 last year. if you want abs make sure you are working them.
>>36965829
its tough. drink water that will tend to fill you up but will make you piss a lot and bloat you. consider investing in some beef jerky. great low cal snack. otherwise you just gotta push thru it bro. do you want to be lean for summer or not?
>>36965999
>losing 24 pounds in a month
>u wot m8
anyway, looks depends how fat you were before. 20 pounds overweight? maybe 6 months. 40 pounds overweight? at least a year of dieting. any more than that and you are in for a long haul and some loose skin brah.
>Weigh 272 in late Feb
>Go out with some friends, miss a shot with a wonderful girl because my self esteem about my looks is so fucking low
>Say fuck this, cold turkey all my bad eating habits, do a PPL/R/PPL routine, PSMF, cut out all the juices and carbs and take the necessary vitamins
>Don't count calories but I know that I have to be eating at <1k with a TDEE of 3300+
>Tell myself i'm going to let myself starve and be in eternal pain before I let myself cheat
>If I feel like cheating, I munch down an EC stack and chug a liter of water or go to bed
>Weigh in at 227 today
>Went to the doctor and got a script for phentermine because appetite suppression of EC stack is fading
>Have 50 caps of DNP for when I feel like im ready
I know i'm going about this a terrible way but I absolutely can't stand the person I was 2 months and every day I just feel like my looks, weight, and self confidence are holding me back from acting the way I want. We're all gonna make it bros.
>>36966402
>eating 1000 cal a day
jesus breh, be careful but keep going.
>>36966387
>20 pounds overweight? maybe 6 months. 40 pounds overweight? at least a year of dieting.
>>36966480
optimal weight loss is around 1 pound per week. no one will not maintain a 100% efficient diet.
6 months = 24 weeks
12 months = 48 weeks
bretty gud estimates if you ask me
>>36966402
I'm right there on the pain train with you. Went from 315 down to 250 in the past 2 1/2 months with amphetamines, cleanest fucking diet imaginable, and a few short DNP runs. I'm looking to hit about 180 before I start really trying to bulk up(6'4" fatty).
>>36966536
How was your experience with DNP? I havent heard of very many severely overweight people using it in modern day, wondering if it feels too intense due to increased body weight or anything like that
>>36966522
breh theres 52 weeks in a year....
>>36966559
Not really no. first time I used it I was 280. I did 250mg for 3 days and then 500mg for 7 days. Day 8-10 were pretty fucking horrid, but it was all about constant hydration and doing nothing that would overheat me. Both cycles I did were 10 days and i lost about 7 pounds on each. Pretty ridiculous weight loss, and the only real annoyance was how shitty it made sleeping.
Why are some of you cutting so low?
Are you 5'0 or a woman?
No man should cut lower than 1500.
>>36966580
assume 4 weeks per month you autist
>>36966387
Yeah, I have a gut still, which is annoying. Going to have to lift more and work my abs more WHILE cutting I guess. On the plus side, you can see that I have a "core". It's just very faint. No abs yet tho.
>>36966197
>>36966387
Well I meant more along the lines of meals filling you up more, like less portions.
Right now I'm 6'2 260~, I started around 285. I dropped the water weight quick since I only drink water and skim milk now. No loose skin as of yet, but I plan on weight lifting soon™.
Goal weight is 185 where I float between that and around 190.
>>36966600
what else can you do except cut more calories if you aren't losing weight? you only have so much energy to expend lifting or doing cardio before you injure yourself
you have to realize nattys do not maintain their muscle like a roider does when they cut. nattys TDEE falls much faster and you have to compensate to reach low BF%
>>36966632
>>36966658
yeah you need to lift, otherwise you'll just end up skinny fat. you're really overweight so you can probably get by recomping without eating a lot more.
i recommend taking pictures once a month so you can see the progress. you're gonna be in this for the long haul and will need the motivation
>be me
>Greek orthodox holy week
>fast
>actually godly cut progress
Jesus knew the secrets bois
>>36966688
What do you mean recompping without eating a lot more? As in just lift and maintain the same diet?
>>36966727
you're so fat that you can literally gain muscle while cutting. this is especially true if you're a noob lifter to begin with.
>>36966736
Alright, thanks senpai.
>>36959808
When you're over 300 and you start eating and drinking like a normal person it'll be way faster than 1 a week. Don't cheat and stick with it bro.
>>36959808
Its all about making daily adjustments that you can handle, just make sure you're actively TRYING to change, one small step a day. Even if its something super duper small like cutting down from 5 cans of pepsi a day down to 4 a day; if thats all you can handle then so be it, just make sure you make another small change every day and it all adds up to a lifetime of improvement.
The amount of effort and willpower you put forth are the results you're going to get back.
>>36953188
Same fat bitch here again
I'm eating way more fruits and veggies than meat right now and I'm trying to cut fat. Should I really aim for those macros you said, and is eating more fruits and veggies while eating less meat or should I up my meat and eat less fruits and veggies
And when I join a gym and ball daily this summer, should I change my macros again to more protein?
I'm at 18%bf, can I get to 10% until december with a good calorie deficit? Already lost 6lbs(may not in a month.
how often should I weigh myself? and what time of day do i do it?
>>36966951
I'm
>>36966811
I weight myself every morning. I weigh myself before breakfast, after a cup or so of coffee
>>36966975
you can go fuck yourself it was an actual question
>>36966951
Depends on the type of person you are, I used to weigh myself daily but daily variance in weight would kill me, water weight is a bitch and sometimes discouraging.
I limit myself to weighing in right after waking up and taking a pee/poo, once a week.
>>36951622
Wtf is wrong with u guys.. Mix it with chocolate whey
>>36966951
either every day or once a week, just dont let the daily changes bother you too much if you choose daily
>>36966997
It was an actual answer
>tfw need to cut 3kg more to make me looked decent
