Weight loss

General discussion about weight loss and diets

Lost 80+ lbs with consistent calorie and macronutrient counting, only times I backpedaled were when I overate
Recommend Cronometer for weight and food logging
Also bathroom scale, kitchen scale, measuring spoons/cups
Most difficult thing literally is the lifestyle change, the rest of it's easy as fuck in comparison, nothing I can really recommend there beyond confronting yourself and following through on your decision to change for the better. It will absolutely involve having to change who you are as a person, esp if you're a fat slob.

6 foot male. I went from 250 to 190 pounds in a year with keto. Was eating at a shitty college cafeteria at the time and ate almost nothing but chicken breasts, hamburger patties, mayo, lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. It probably took years off of my life, but at least I lost weight in the end. Keto helped because I never felt hungry.

When I got off the diet I gained 15 pounds back, but I've long since lost it again by counting calories. Probably due to a lot of binge eating when I was young I never seem to feel full even when I'm on the verge of vomiting, but if I I know approximately how many calories I've eaten, I can convince myself that I'm full and stop eating.

Staying away from sugar also feels like it helps avoid cravings.

Long story short, it's a permanent lifestyle change. Not just an adjustment to what you eat. Can be as simple as using stairs instead of escalators and cutting out candy, depending on your current lifestyle.

I've lost 20 pounds. What I do is attack my weight from 3 angles. I exercise everyday, half my breakfast and lunch portions and find the energy density of the food I eat by dividing calories by weight and eat food with low density. I screw up every now and then but in the grand scheme it doesn't matter because I won't screw up tomorrow or the next day.

i'm just a fucking tank. i have two separate grade 4 cancers, and both should have killed me by now. I'd tell you what they are but it would de-anonymise because im literally unique among 7 billion humans.
they put me on doxorubicin and ifosfamide, which is 14 hours of getting fluids via iv for 3 days in a row. you pretty much cant eat after the first day, but i recovered at home pretty fast.
I'll take your thanks now btw since im going to beat this and they'll ending developing a general cure from me.

the real problem is that i smash the chicken burgers post surgery to stitch my body back together fast, but it works, i had a quarter of a lung out, and left hospital 26 hours later.

i probably have what you uncle has, but the just took the pelvis and left the leg on, the operation was pretty much a 75% amputation to get to the bone though. fantastic surgeon, i didnt get an infection.

I've lost 103lbs in the past 10 months. Started with keto for the first 3 and I've been doing CICO since. Keto is great but eventually the restrictions become too obnoxious but hopefully you stick with it long enough to learn some good habits and get used to a reduced caloric intake.

[Anonymous No.14034878]

have lost about 203lbs but last time i was on a scale was awhile ago and the way my pants fit it's probably a bit more now

eat less. that's it. there's no trick, no secret knowledge or anything. It's all mental and calories in and calories out. i didnt even work out for most of it

If the food on keto/paleo/whatever makes you feel better and makes it less of a struggle to eat less then great do that, but the main take away should be thinking about what you are eating and fix your relationship with food.

it's doable friends but no one can do it for you. might be a lot of stops and starts but we're all going to make it.

This is more of /fit/ question, but I used to eat garbage and was planning to change my diet at thirty. Unfortunately, at 29 I noticed that I had gained about 6Kg (usually 70, so 76 at the time). This was following increasing cannabis consumption and binging on sweets a couple of times a week.

Shockingly, what worked was 'calories in, calories out'. I ate 1000 - 1500 calories a day for a couple of months until I was back to 70 keys. I aimed for 300 calories for lunch and 900 for a late evening meal. Note that you can eat whatever you like; I am a big fan of drenching things in butter and other cooking fats, especially bacon and eggs.

Intermittent fasting helped me. I've lost 10kg in about a month

[Anonymous No.14035103]

>>14035012
That can't be true unless you eat nothing and burn 3,000 calories a day.

One gram of fat contains 9 calories. To lose 10Kg, you need to omit (9 * 10,000 =) 90,000 calories. Assuming a normal metabolic rate (requiring an intake of 2,000 calories a day), you would burn (2,000 * 30 =) 60,000 calories in 30 days. If you ate *literally nothing* for these 30 days, you would lose about 7Kg.

I have to cut drinking. When I drink, I drunkenly cook and eat. When I'm hungover the next day, I eat like a maniac. On non-hungover/drunk days, I eat well and am active and work all over my property and at least am not consuming thousands of unnecessary calories. Fuck me, I just have to stop drinking and I know I'll shed this weight and at least be close to my former, athletic-bear-ish built self.

To all of you who have lost weight, kudos. Keep it up! I hope I can eventually show the same mental fortitude that you all have! Today is a new day... let's see if I can resist the temptation of alcohol. One day at a time, (ladies) and gents!

Things that worked for me:
1. Eating out less. I used to buy lunch especially a fuckton at work, which was just a lot of extra food I didn't need.
2. Better shopping habits. I'm someone that will eat it if I have it, so I stopped buying snacks and desserts.
3. Intermittent fasting. It's honestly easy to do and for me usually just meant skipping breakfast, which wasn't hard.
4. Starting working out more. Used some YT HIIT videos, eventually bought some adjustable dumbbells are started lifting casually at home, put on some muscle to increase BMR which helped with the weight loss.

A lot of that weight is probably from water.

As for me. I've lost about 30 lbs. and managed to keep it off for going on 3 years now. As others have said, it's about making realistic lifestyle changes that you can maintain. Long term adherence is the single largest factor in losing weight, period. If you can create a calorie deficit through fasting or keto, and can maintain those practices for years, then go for it. Personally, I had better luck weighing my food, calculating daily calories and macros, and substantially increasing the amount of protein and fiber I was eating.

Not my comment but in a perfect universe, yeah that is how it works. There are tons of other factors which skew the figure though such as stress hormones causing retention or the opposite with an aggressive period of ketosis which causes the cells to release their water weight.
Weight loss is not linear even if you stick to a plan 100%. Over time, you'll be able to draw a linear line of best fit but certainly day to day, over a month, the line will be very squiggly.
I was 250lbs a few years back and got down to 175lbs through OMAD and boot camp. I now run about 30 miles a week and weight train and that's how I learnt. Lately I've had an injury so put on 7lbs because I kinda gave up caring. Been on a water fast since last Thursday and have dropped 9lbs since then. I have ran in this period (it sucks I've got no energy after just 4 miles) and tracked my calories burnt using a garmin and the science says I should have lost 5lbs max, but here I am almost double that lost. I reckon even sticking to the same routine, the weight loss will stall over the next few days.

If you can keep it up, and that's the way of reducing calories that works best for you, then stick with it. I didn't like keto or fasting, but that's just me. I found keto way too limiting on food choices and got bored with it pretty quick, and while I lost weight initially with fasting, I started to gain it back. What happened is that my one meal per day started to get bigger and bigger without me realizing it until I had gained back all the weight I lost. Just something for you to be mindful of.

Man has outdone her even after weight loss.
Thing is, if you are a fat woman, you will always be kinda flabby, cause you don't have the ability to build muscles like a man (even with the same dedication).
She still looks unappealing in those heavily compressing shorts.
He'll dump her soon for hotter model.
A picture like this tells a lot.
Her eyes are completely fixed on him, her whole body aligned to his direction, shoe dangling, ass and chest out.
This is a woman who admires her man.

Him on the other hand? Only half facing her and looking at the camera with a smirk. His attention is out there, not on her.

When you see couples photos, you can often see the same dynamic with the genders reversed.
A man clinging to a woman, having only eyes for her, while she is almost sort of pushing him away, leaning away and looking into the camera smiling.

This is broadcasting sexual availability. The guy (in this case girl) is more or less a prop.

When you see an enamored woman like this in a couples photograph you don't usually see this much sexual broadcasting from the male. Usually the male is just nonchalant, doing something else or losely focused on the woman, while she admires "her" man.

So yeah, those two are not gonna stay together lol and he is the one who will break up with her.
If not, she will break up to get the better of him before he can dump her, to preserve her ego.
But make no mistake, she is the one reaching.

Very obvious from just a simple photograph. Probably she also has poor self esteem because she was super fat, women have a harder time getting over this cause honestly, being a fat chick is worse than being a fat guy.

Yeah the weight sneaks up on you especially if you’re going through depression or loneliness I was eating 70-100$ worth of fast food a day or making massive meals and came home from uni and my parents just wondered how I gained 120lbs in 6 months

[Anonymous No.14035424]

I once went from 95kg to 75kg within a few months, then hit a plateau, still feeling fat for about a year, despite dieting and rigorous exercise (and I mean crazy intensity 2 times a week in boxing gym and moderate workout plan the rest).

I was still skinnyfat after all this. I realize now, that to get really lean, you also have to increase lean body mass. I focused to much on losing fat and at some point the body just doesn't want to let go of it anymore.

So, you probably shouldn't go crazy on the /fit/ autism, thinking that lifting is the cure for all your personal and fitness issues, it's not, but you should still do it if you wanna look good.
However, for personal wellbeing and overall fitness, cardio and endurance is more important if you wanna do high intensity sports like fighting or stuff like climbing.
Thing is, weight lifting muscles are more or less useless for anything other than lifting weights. And of course body composition.
For which you absolutely need it.

Lost almost 45lbs in 2 months doing keto.

I went from 235 to 170 by just calorie counting, eating better, cutting soda, and exercising

I went back up to 185 but for the most part I kept most of the weight off. College started and I turned 21, so I lost the time and motivation to exercise and cook right, among other things, and I also am now a borderline alcoholic which is a shitload of empty calories

No worries. You should be able to get 350mL (sometimes called "half a bottle") pretty much everywhere. In the UK, the bottle is almost invariably this shape.

6'1 tall, went from about 320 to about 240 with the "more meat, less bread and sugar, take some fucking walks after work" diet. 240 is still too high, but quality of life is a lot better than at 320 so I'm not trying TOO hard to lose more.

Just realised that is a fucking terrible picture, the point is that 350mL bottles are FLAT so you can slip them into a back pocket. Maybe this demonstrates it better.

Between October 2019 and March 2020 before everything shut down because of the rona I lost a shit load of weight. I was at like 101kg and got it down to 82kg.

Did 6 hours of boxing a week and 40 minutes cycling a day.

5+ portions of fruit and veg a day, 100g+ of protein a day, fish twice a week.

No drugs, no smoking, only alcohol being consumed white wine and whisky.

All that's gone to shit now. Belly back, smoking a lot of bud, diet not really changed but lot more snacking and that.

When will this shit end.

I cut out all soda and candy. I went from 220 to 160 over the course of about a year.
Literally nothing else was changed about my diet. I just stopped buying soda and candy every week.

yes. I just went from 185 to 160 in the past few months. I just about have a 6 pack now. I count every calorie that I eat and round up when I'm unsure. I eat -500 calories from my maintenance

[Anonymous No.14036065]

I started on OMAD after new years, and I had a few periods where I just gave up completely and gorged myself on junk food, snacks and candy and tons of food (oddly enough it didn't feel as good as it used to. Also it was always after getting drunk with friends), but I managed to get back on track. I also punished myself with those 500-600 kcal a day meal replacements after binging. Currently at -26 kgs/-57 pounds. Oh, I also take a detour on my way home after work, so about an hours worth of walking 5 times a week.
Weirdly enough I don't suffer from low blood sugar or getting tired, even though I have a physically demanding job, I actually have more energy.
The only bad thing is that usually you organize your life around meals, and with only that meal in the evening you kind of don't know what to do most days when you're off work.

Diets are a meme, plain and simple. By their nature they suggest ephemerality: "Here's a change I will make in the short term to sustain my current lifestyle" But the issue is the lifestyle itself is not sustainable. We've distilled food into highly-addictive, nutritionally devoid, perish-resistant substances, much in the same way we distilled the mildly stimulating coca leaf into the highly stimulating and addicting cocaine and crack. Yet, we do not tell crackheads "Hey buddy, cut back on the rock for a few months until the itches stop so you can go right back to hitting the pipe!" Of course we don't, because it is a substance that shouldn't be in your body period, moderation or not. We are going to look back at highly processed foods in much the same way we do now with lead in gasoline.

Your goal should be to slowly uproot yourself from the toxic, post-industrial diet that has been ballooning our waistlines over the past century. Slow, thoughtful changes that ripple across the span of your life. Maybe one day you commit to having a vegetable with every meal and eating it before anything else. Another day, you restrict bread to dining out or parties. Later, you cut out soda for good. These changes MUST be slow, gradual, and incremental, because they are permanent. If you want results that last, there's no going back.

People are so eager to see results now that they end up tripping over themselves right out of the gate. This shouldn't be grueling. Willpower is a finite resource. What works for some won't work for everybody. Intermittent fasting has done wonders for me, and has just become my new normal pattern of eating over the last three years, yet some I know can't go a week without a meal in the morning. Counting calories works for some, and I think is a great tool for giving perspective on the energy density of foods, but I personally don't see sustainability in a lifetime of measuring and calculating. Find what works for you in the long run and never stop.

Lost 60lbs when I was 17 turning 18. The diet I used was stupid. I just went for walks and light jogs and didn't eat. Some days I would fast and not eat at all, others I would have one meal, others two but smaller. Don't fret too much over the minutiae if you're looking to get your weight down for health purposes, just start slashing calories. Try to draw from more sensible food choices rather than eating two bars of chocolate and then fasting until you wake up again. Obviously it's several years later and if I had to do it again I could do it much better but if you sit around trying to devise a fitness plan that's more intricate than you can handle you're just wasting time and will probably not stick to something so strictly regimented without a spartan will so just close your mouth fatty lol

You probably just undereat but overreport. There's no such thing as having a "metabolism" that incinerates every calorie you put into your body, the metabolic differential between individuals is barely plus or minus 10% barring thyroid or some hormonal problem which is exceptionally rare.

>Probably due to a lot of binge eating when I was young I never seem to feel full even when I'm on the verge of vomiting, but if I I know approximately how many calories I've eaten

Your body can still adapt. I always ate huge portions and after a few months in the Navy where we were served strictly sized portions without the possibility for extras, I really struggled to eat more than the Navy portion for the years that followed. I'm still more or less eating Navy-sized portions now. (I also prefer to eat smaller and more meals than a few large ones).

>Have you lost weight successfully?
Yes. Since last February i have went from over 335 lbs to 172. Still losing though, goal weight is 150.
>What kind of diet worked best for you?
For the first few months it was CICO plus OMAD, but once my self discipline improved i trusted myself to do CICO plus two meals a day.
>What did you try but didn't work for you?
I tried CICO tons of times, eventually i actually stuck with it. Just kept slamming my head into that wall into i went through it, simple as.

I had lots of fruits and veggies both before and after, I just didn't say that becuase I didn't change the amount.

lots of big greek salads with grilled chicken for dinner. won't say ZERO rice/pasta but I had grains pretty rarely, maybe 4 or 5 normal sized side portions per month, if you combine rice, pasta, potato, corn type stuff

I lost about 60lbs in a year or so, which isn't a huge sudden change (I was like 250 at my worst and want to be around 160), but I found permanently altering my habits little by little was the best way to go about it.

I cut out sugary drinks years ago, which is what got me up to 250 in the first place, but without permanently altering any other habits it basically just lead to me maintaining an unhealthy amount of weight, so I finally buckled down and decided to fast for 16 hours a day and cut down to 2 meals. It was hard at first and I was constantly hungry at night, but the big changes I saw felt motivating and I eventually adjusted to it permanently and stopped feeling bothered by hunger at night (it's almost zen-like desu).

Over time, I started working out 3 days a week, cooking for myself more (which I enjoyed doing anyway, but was lazy) and eating a bit less red meat and processed foods, and more poultry, veggies and whole grains.

Lost 55 lbs. so far on OMAD. I eat basically anything but try to avoid sugar as much as possible, except in small amounts in savory meals. Losing weight is 90% mental, 9% diet, and 1% exercising.

I'm fortunate enough to have never gotten that fat.
At my worst I was 170lbs at 5'10. Doesn't sound bad but I was probably around 30% body fat at the time.
I'm 160 right now, around 20-25% body fat.
I would like to get to around 175 15% body fat

I drink alot of alcohol everyday

I'm sure its bad but I'm also sure I'd be about 100+ pounds heavier because I have no impusle control so it evens out.
