Lol. My starting point was very originally 355 lbs, where I did keto down to 320 lbs, to where I got down to where I am now from there from carnivore, but tried mixing in fasting days in which I'd lose willpower and cheat on my diet. Every massive peak is a week I cheated. I'm choosing to give up on cheating or fasting and stick to the diet I've set for myself in earnest. Progress stalls aren't scaring me because I understand why I'm stalling and no, it's not because I eat meat.

>>71079065
You can do it, recognising the problems is half the battle.

>>71079065
I'm not saying you're stalling because you eat meat. I'm saying you're stalling because you eat 4600 kcal a day, which is more than enough for your body to function without using your fat storage, at all. In fact, that's enough calories for a massive roider lifting everyday to maintain his weight. I very much doubt you're The Rock, so you shouldn't expect any progress if you keep eating like that.

Those who are doing the carnivore (elimination) diet do things little different. We are always eating until we are satiated, following our hunger to its limit (if the food stops tasting as good, that's the signal to stop). My limit seems to hover around 4-5 lbs as of now. As my body heals, the amount I need lowers and lowers. That'll be when I see true progress. That being said, most of the caloric content of meat is saturated fat, which the human body can only digest so much of, so it's likely not even over my TDEE after my bile is expended.

>>71079142
>We are always eating until we are satiated, following our hunger to its limit
Keep that for when you're at a healthy weight. You can't feel satiated all the time AND lose weight. I know it sucks, but that's the way it is. Find something else to forget about the hunger.

Pic rel. It says I got 0 fiber today because I haven’t had my bowl. I’m tempted to just supplement Metamucil but I thought you could get enough fiber just through diet alone.

>>71079160
I have already done it previously in this contest. I know it's possible. I follow Dr. Anthony Chaffee's advice on the subject matter, although he has never been as fat as me, I still had great progress despite being on a stall doing keto. (I have to do low-carbohydrate diets because I have type 2 diabetes) I only failed because I got bored and decided to cheat on my diet as per my girlfriend's advice, as she was worried about me only eating animal products. This lead to my leptin being blocked thanks to the unique relationship leptin has with carbohydrates, inducing the feeling that I was never satiated, allowing myself to gorge far more than I should have. My T2D has (thankfully) been less painful when I cheat, but it's not something I want to worsen, hence why I'm sticking to this diet. No disrespect, but I will treat my diabetes before I care about weight loss, as simple low calorie foods high in carbs do not reverse T2D to any meaningful degree.

>>71079142
>>71079160

I'm not going to tell this guy how to eat or go through is process with his body.

I'll just say that I don't really understand the idea of eating until satiation or fullness when you are by definition attempting to starve the body of energy so that it taps into fat reserves.

The language of 'healing, following hunger cues' is associated with the Intuitive Eating crowed that is about 95% female land whales looking for an excuse to eat shit and not feel bad about it.

For me (for me); when I dropped my calories significantly and just changed the types of food I was eating, bumped up the protein, and drank a lot more water, my body pretty quickly adapted to it and I never really feel hungry anymore. "Waiting for your body" to take the lead seems like you have it backwards, but to each his own

Unironically keto is good for gigafats because there are mechanisms that induce satiety to where they consistently eat under their TDEE in controlled studies. Its not the greatest diet ever unlike what a certain ketarded individual would have you believe but it has its uses, and a medical condition that hampers how one’s body processes sugars is definitely one of them.

>>71079160
>You can't feel satiated all the time AND lose weight
You actually could in theory, if you only ate low fat greek yoghurt but you'd get tired of eating it real quick

i'm so close to reaching 30 BMI. Just need to lose a few more kgs

>>71079239
you can do it dude :)
i just ground up a whole sirloin into burger patties, leaving the ENTIRE fat cap on.
i will make burger patties out of them since all the steaks i have cooked always turned out shit, but i binged 3 hours of Sous Vide Everything yesterday and i am now confident that i need to get sous vide equipment to make them actually tasty.
once you unfucked yourself hormonally, don't force yourself to eat that much, let your appetite regulate it. been doing it for 36 days now and i didn't even think about cheating or eating despite watching hours of content of people making steaks and insane potato/rice dishes.
it became fucking easy to be honest

First of all, weigh yourself every day at the same time and look at trends instead of looking at the weight you were at the 7th or the 14th day or whatever.
If the plateau persists choose a day and do a carb load.
Basically eat like shit, focusing on carbs mainly, don't try to stay close to your tdee or whatever just gorge out.
For some reason it works for me, you might lose 3-4 days of calorie deficit that way but it should get you over the weight loss plateau.
Don't use this as an excuse to cheat, do it only once every two monthd max.
Also if you have a cheat day a week or something, DON'T.

More data is always better.
If you're a brainlet that doesn't understand simple shit like water weight you might be discouraged sure, but having to wait a week to weigh yourself on the day that your body decided to hold on to 2kgs of water weight is far more discouraging.

>>71080002
>>71080128
I actually have been weighing myself daily (after waking up and using the toilet).
236 lbs is my moving average over the last two weeks; it's actually been between 234-238.
>>71080002
I might try this if this continues for another week.
>cheat day
lmao

>>71080176
you just do it consistently the same day every week as soon as you wake up before you do anything else, weight will usually be the same minus the weight you lost

>>71080128
for me it's the exact opposite. i have to weigh myself every day or else i start slipping

What medications are good for weightloss? I have no problem in not eating, just wanna speed up loss, so liraglutide/semaglutide would be overkill. Can metformin be used to loose weight? How bout yohimbine? ECA-stack I would avoid considering the sides. T3 seams to be pretty effective but I don't wanna fuck up my thyroid. Anything else?

>>71079360
yea but this guy is managing to eat double his TDEE in spite of that

>tfw under 30% bf for the first time in years
still fat as fuck but i'll take the W

>>71080189
Do you not understand?
You have to wait a week, roll the dice and hope the weekly weigh-in day is not one where your body decided to hold on to water.
You're getting shit data that way.
The average weight lost per week past the initial loss is usually around 1kg, water weight fluctuations are up to 3kgs, if you're unlucky you could do everything right for a week, weigh yourself and be 2 kgs heavier than you were last week.
Then of course you have to wait another week and weigh yourself again.
Why go blind into this?

don't, unless you are at an imminent risk of death scenario, just lose it slowly and more consistently. It will be healthier and less risk of burnout

it's harder to binge eat on keto as well

>>71079859
unless you've done fasting before and know what you're getting into i highly recommend against it. multi-day progressive fatigue is real and fasting after you've run a week of deficit+exercise isnt really sustainable.

IF you want to speed things up, add more low-mid intensity cardio. Better all around. Any drug that increases your energy consumption (usually through raised body temp) will make you feel like shit and carry disproportional risks.

Take this weekend and bump up your calories, don't count (don't pig out, you know in your heart what is eating more good food and what is being a glutton).

Then get back to the process Monday, and don't step on the scale for a whole week. Remember this is a long game and success comes from habits over time, you'll make it

If you've been eating veggies you shouldn't have constipation, but the answer is fiber. Get psylium husk if you need it, it's basically just fiber.

Ozempic is too strong man. Im looking at 2 small sugar donuts, a small sandwich, some chips, and a chocolate bar and the thought of eating all of it makes me sick. Im just gonna take a few bites of each. Im only on 0.5 too and I thought it wouldnt work when I started at 0.25

I might just OMAD with some fruit and salad, everything else is overwhelming

For refernece, 2 months ago I would eat over 4000 calories in one sitting and easily 8000 over a full 24 horus

Too bad it wont make me less ugly or short or bald. Im just taking it out of curiosity what its like to have normal hunger signals cause I have enough disposable income

why would you take bites of donuts AND a sandwich AND chips AND a chocolate bar all in the same meal? One sandwich and 3 different unhealthy snack treats?

If you don't really feel a devastating need, choose like the sandwich and half of a donut if you MUST get something sweet but "hurr durr I'm going to have desserts 1, 2 and 3 during one meal" mentality is exactly what you should be trying to quit via the drug

1kg of fat is 7700 calories. In order to lose 15kg in 6 weeks, you need a total deficit of 115,500 calories. That‘s 2750 calories per day for 6*7=42 days. Assuming your TDEE is 2600 calories, it’s impossible even if you were to eat nothing. You could try to bring up your TDEE by drinking black coffee all day though.

I thought I'd have to significantly lower my portions of stuff but 12oz of chicken breast covers basically my entire plate at ~500 calories and a ton of protein.

Getting high shouldn't have any effect provided you're not getting munchies and eating junk. It'll fuck your lungs up, sure, but if you're running that's fine.

Yes you can still eat fast food and lose weight. The only problem is it ironically takes more discipline over time to stay within your calories on a fast food diet than it does on a cleaner diet. Since it’s not satiating.

>>71085173

nta but at some point I broke my hunger/craving signaling and I can eat whatever, whenever, or nothing at all, doesn't bother me. I could actually eat one potato chip like a psycho and just move on with my life. It's making sticking with macros pretty easy, obviously. On the downside (i guess) I can't empathize at all anymore with people talking about that stuff here.

I mean, I still remember binging, I still remember the "well I already had one slice of pizza, I may as well just eat half the pizza and "start" tomorrow" - but somewhere along that line I took that kike out and shot him in the head,

Hope you're well /fat/s.
Jumped into C25K at week 5. My dumb ass wants to join a run in July so we're starting halfway. Tough but completed the three runs for the week. Only 50km of distance this week as a result of less long, low intensity walks.
Lifting was fun, played with the hex bar for the first time and I think I'll use that every now and then from now on.
Weight was lower yesterday but I had to meet someone for breakfast and then lunch. The protein and vegetables trick mitigated a lot of the damage.
Really getting into tea. Loose leaf has a very well preserved flavour compared to bags that I never realised. If you're looking for something to replace sugary drinks it's worth exploring.

I'll make this about free weights vs machines as I'd like to get a certain mindset across here
>free weights
+ Have to provide your own stability, thus recruiting and developing more muscle groups to complete moments
+ Improvements in balance
+ Versatility. There's a lot that can be accomplished with bars and iron plates.
= Can be a quicker workout, you get your (for example) 5x5 of squat/bench/row or squat/ohp/deadlift done in an hour, that's a full body workout done and you're on your way to work or school or whatever for the day, nice and easy
- More difficult execution, you'll need to learn good habits or be ready to fix bad ones
- Benefits taper off quickly the exercise is done with bad form or "cheated" (e.g. squats turn into more of a back exercise than a leg exercise as you get tired on the final reps)
>machines
+ Get in and go, little instruction needed. There are usually even pictograms on the machine that explain it.
+ Can target specific, isolated muscles (useful if you want to build that muscle specifically or you like to do push/pull or back/arms/legs kind of splits)
= Some machines are just kind of fun to use.
- Doing a full body workout on every machine will take a longer time that using the barbell
- Gym doesn't have the machine, you're don't get to do that exercise
- Won't do much for balance

You'll probably see people evangelise for free weights over machines but it's about what you want to achieve rather than trying to find an objective "better". Both have their place and purposes and long term you're not stuck to one either. PF might not have bars but your next gym might.
You'll develop muscle and help your weight loss along just fine on a smith machine. The important thing is to go and use it.

though I probably had help with cardio, and I wasnt that fat to begin with compared to others. The leftover skin did take a bit to go back to normal, it wasn't that much difference, now am mostly trying to improve my cardio and then I'll focus on gaining muscle mass. Though I am no longer following that diet, my version was just meat, salt, hot pepper seasoning and eggs, would occassionally drink green tea, heard it helps with fat burning and losing excess water but that was about it

So I'm on the longest fast I've achieved in years (entering my 6th day as I type this)

Feel pretty shit ill be honest BUT my cravings aren't killing me, im hoping I can turn this into a mutli week water fast or even longer.

I think whats finally helped me fight the cravings is my Bupropion, gonna stick with this med forever if this is the result, im thinking about trying to get some doc to give me Rybelsus (oral version of Ozempic)

I'm happy but im also frustrated im thinking all these years I was chemically imbalanced.

Do I just quit all the processes shit immediately? Or do i slowly cut it out of my diet?

Any BED recoverers have any advice? I can't afford Ozempic, no health insurance.

>>71086963
I have BED probably (unironically one of the worst here I bet), before I started meds that helped I cut back to a 2000 cal diet and slowly weaned myself off of processed crap.

Cutting yourself cold turkey is fucking HARD, don't recommend it unless you have the willpower of a titan.

>no health insurance
I was the same but me being a broke fuck let me get Medicaid, you should apply if you're low income they're letting many many people in if they're low/no income now.

what are some good dense low calorie snack to stave off random bouts of hunger?

>be eating at deficit for month and a half

>randomly start feeling intense hunger this week
>have to force myself way more than usual to stay within my cals
>oh shit I’m gonna fucking moooooonch
>check LoseIt
>forgot I was playing with the settings last weekend and changed the cals from 1900 to 1650
Whew. 250 doesn’t seem like it should have that much effect but I guess since I’ve been doing it for 5 days it adds up?

>>71086985
Would you say you eat clean now? Or do you still allow yourself junk food?

I'm really struggling between allowing myself some junk, switching to healthier options like (dark chocolate, rice cake chips, 6 inch subway, etc) or just stop buying that shit. Realistically, I agree quitting cold turkey won't work, but I'm terrified of never getting my act together because I'd still buy junkfood every week.

>>71087067
I eat clean when I actually eat but I've been fasting a shitton ill be honest, I started with doing three day and then four and then five but now im planning on doing a multi week fast if I can help it.

Everyones cravings are different too ill be honest anon, my thing is I like feeling full so I always went with brown rice, salads, some kinda protein.

You just gotta keep working at it and believe in yourself, wgmi.

>>71088065
The medicine is based on metformin, cheap af where I live. The condition was prescribed as pre-diabetes, but the doctor said that in order to identify the exact type and the exact malfunction in the body there needs to be further research done. For instance he said that it could be that I don't produce enough insulin, or that the insulin is not effective enough despite a normal quantity, or that the glucose is being protected from being processed in some way (don't remember the details), and so son. He said that we're just treating the result of some sort of malfunction until further research is done, but if it's effective then there's definitely some sort of malfunction and it needs to be treated (most likely via drugs).

>>71087983
Damn. I usually tell people to go get checked if they stall out for a month+ since I figured a doctor could tell if they legitimately had an issue vs just sucked at counting calories. Disheartening to hear that you had to go through 5 of them to find your issue.

>>71088103
Really really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

>>71088222
You gotta shop around for doctors sometimes, there's a few who'll put a patient in the too hard basket if they can't see a clear solution right away. They don't even think to send off for more than rudimentary tests some of the time. To a degree, you need to be your own doctor and advocate for yourself, do your own research and find the right questions to ask. It's a shame but no one can ever be more invested in your own health than you.

>>71088222
That's not even the worst thing I was told.
I used to have a condition that was making me sweat a lot, even in situations when supposedly there shouldn't be any sweating. I went and had my thyroid checked and it was fine. Then all the doctors kept telling me, to my face, "maybe you're just getting nervous, have you tried a psychiatrist?". I kept telling them that this happens even in situations that have nothing to do with social interactions, e.g. after I laugh a lot I'd be drenched in sweat, head to toe. Took 5 years to resolve and all doctors unanimously were telling me that it's a psychological issue and that I should just stop getting so nervous.
Until one doctor decided to do an oncological screening on me and we found that I have a harmone-active benign tumor in one of my adrenal glands, and that the tumor was making my body produce too my cortisol (i.e. adrenaline hormone) and my body had a normal response to it in the form of excessive sweating. Also explained the laughing case because when you laugh your body produces adrenaline and then tames it naturally, which is why you feel both stressed and good after a good laugh. We got it removed (luckily it was possible to save the gland itself) and now I'm in perfect condition
Lack of control over the medical codex among the doctors is insane. And this was true for both free healthcare (a country with free health insurance) as well as paid/private healthcare. Even made me take antidepressants at some point, which were obviously of no help but instead developed an allergy in my body. Fun time

Psychiatry industry is full of shit and they mostly sell placebo. They falsify study results that factually conclude things like "controlled placebo group 0.5% mood increase, controlled drug group 1.5% mood increase" and then advertise their drug as "you'll feel 3 times better" basically.
If you struggle with depression and things like that, unironically get over yourself and practice spirituality. Take any religion of your liking and practice the spiritual aspect of it (discard the retarded fanatic shit like chanting and things like that). Master the ways of self-observation, learn that the bad emotions come from your brain and you don't have to give in to them, you can just analytically observe them and then decide to ignore them. Become self aware of your triggers and treat them cautiously. All of this will be 10x more effective than whatever "magic pill" (if one exists at all) that you seek or that is being pushed on you

I think you're in the wrong place. Although if it's anything like trying to lose weight then 3 days is too short a time frame. You need to wait at least a week sometimes even 2 to get a real read. That said if you're serious about gaining weight just dirty bulk

This happened to my sister. She went 8 years going between doctors describing her symptoms and they all told her it was mental health shit. Had her on all kinds of anti depressants and the fact that she didn't get any better didn't seem to throw any red flags. My sister isn't stupid, she literally works in medical research and knew she needed to try something else. She spent a small fortune to go private and within 3 months she was correctly diagnosed with PoTS and given medication that finally fixed all her problems.
I don't think it's a bad thing that mental health is more widely treated but it seems to be a complete crutch for incompetent doctors who just dgaf about actually doing their jobs. Whether that's an indictment of socialised healthcare or not I'll leave that up to debate.

Usually I just have burger patties because they're cheap (I can literally eat for like $5 a day on ground beef) sometimes with added butter if I feel like it, only salt/pepper for seasonings and I'm experimenting with tapering down on salt to see if I actually need it or not.

I probably consume about 2lbs of ground beef and a few tbsp of butter a day. That is at least ~2,600 cals.

No meme shit here. Just healthy eating and exercise.

>>71089668
That's because 4 calories per gram of protein is what's considered before requiring the energy to metabolize the protein. I've read it takes anywhere from 0.5 - 1.5 calories per gram of protein, so the actual caloric amount you're receiving from protein is slightly diminished based on how efficient your body is at gluconeogenesis

Hey, Im about 15 pounds overweight, planning on starting a ~500 calorie deficit today.

I work as a security researcher and I feel like the ability to focus on a task and be sharp is an important part of my day to day life.
So I was wondering if you guys feel like dieting and being in a calorie deficit impacts you're ability to focus/do you feel less productive while dieting.

At a 500 calorie deficit you'll be fine. You might get a bit irritable eventually just because that's the nature of the game but as far as focus I doubt it'll be an issue.

I don't understand how I retarded I am sometimes
Been putting off working out for the past week (I have a home gym)
I could have done it all days no problem but I always put it off due to laziness, tonight I went to have dinner with some friends and when I returned home I just decided to hop in. No sense of self guilt drove me, i didn't drink alcohol or anything like that - I just was in the mood for it?
What the fuck I don't understand why can't it be like this every single day, especially when I'm supposed to do it

>>71092616
You’re right about the other stuff but they don’t do pizza days, at least none of the ones I’ve been to. I keep a membership because it’s dirt cheap for what it offers, it’s not a great gym but it’s a gym and beats having nothing. Although I would be curious to see how much it would cost to setup a home gym if anyone knows, I don’t have the space for it right now.

I started doing yoga a month ago, and the results so far has been amazing.
I was stiff as a board in the beginning. Every pose felt like my muscles and tendons would be pulled apart. Especially my hamstrings and hip flexors was tight as fuck.
Now I'm starting to be able to bend in ways I never had thought possible for me.

You need some fat in your diet, friend. It really helps with satiety.

>>71092684
keep a diary if this is a consistent problem retard. understand what motivates you by logging everything. how you feel and what you did prior. connect the dots and test your theories. absolving yourself of responsibility is easy, you feel vindicated if the universe really is unfair and you can't control your behavior to any meaningful extent. so stop.

would it be ok if i "cheat" on my diet with sushi?

>>71092984
Try to stick to maintenance at most, and don't go overboard with the tempura.
We all need a break once in a while.

>>71092984
I always wonder why people ask these questions, do you not understand the "how" of what you're doing? you can do whatever the fuck you want as long as you're in a caloric deficit over a certain period of time. you wanna fit in a cheat day of sushi? ok, eat a maintenance (or slightly more) amount of calories of sushi and then stay at a caloric deficit the rest of the week. you won't lose as much as you would have with 7 days of caloric deficit, but you're still overall negative. or plan your cheat days in advance and allocate these calories in advance so you can still reach whatever weekly goal you have.

what kind of answer are you expecting here?

Most sources I've found say 30 minutes of spinning burns about ~300 calories, but that's at around 8mph, I'm going at 18mph, though the bike itself says 250 cal. So what's accurate?

>>71078897

Why do all of these calculators have my cutting calories at 2600+ (34/M/270 lbs) but if I eat 2600 or more, I only put on weight?

2600 is usually where I do maintenance and now I'm at 2100 cals daily.

Been cutting for 1.5 months and lost ~5 lbs total.

I dunno what all these meds and shit you're talking about, but when I was a depressed teen, I got prescribed Duloxetine which caused me to balloon like a fat cunt, the doctor told me it binds water in your body or something so you retain more water weight. Literally nothing changed in my diet, I was just suddenly fatter. So meds can definitely fuck with you.

>>71093312
It is because the TDEE calculators don't take body % percentage into consideration. I just know you didn't bother to estimate your bodyfat like it states in the OP and didn't look for the Katch-McArdle formula

I think I've gotten to the bottom of my problem, which is just that I have way too many opportunities to eat tasty treats throughout the day and I could probably just do some stupid-simple behavior reprogramming to (a) not think about snacking, (b) not put the food in my mouth, or (c) stop immediately as soon as I realize I'm snacking.

Does anyone know any techniques for this kind of behavior reprogramming?

>>71093472
>Does anyone know any techniques for this kind of behavior reprogramming?
Not specifically about this, but I've succeeded with "self-induced cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)" before. What worked for me is just that as soon as the thought enters your head, you have to try your hardest to distract yourself and think about or focus on something else. It's gonna be hard in the beginning, but after a while, it just starts working automatically.

>uhh bro it's just cico trust my broscience bro

>>71092667
You could:
- Increase the amount of protein (more satiety, less urge to eat again soon)
- Lower total carbohydrates (not as satiating weight for weight as the protein, digest faster so hungrier sooner)
- Get more complex starchy carbohydrates (lower GI/GL and fibre will be more satiating)
- Add good fats (satiating and also aid absorption of nutrients)
- If you eat salads as your greens, think about vinegar (has a strange effect on hormone response, a little dose makes a lot of people less hungry over a longer period. A tablespoon of olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons of red/white/balsamic/apple cider vinegar, dijon/seed mustard (optional) and some salt and pepper makes an excellent dressing for a bag of salad greens)
Additionally:
Consider if you're thirsty. You can often mistake thirst for hunger. Big drink of water when you're feeling it come on. If the factory floor allows for it get one of those big 2L bottles or gallon bottles and just have that on hand to sip.
Have a think about green tea/black coffee if the time of day is appropriate and you don't react poorly to it. Some mild appetite suppressing effects.
And hate to say it but also power through it. Hunger comes but goes again just as quick and you can get better at just letting yourself be hungry for 30 minutes and then it's gone again.

I'm neither of you but consider that a lot of the population are in a shit hormonal balance, including their insulin, and it doesn't get picked up until they go to the doctor for something else that's bothering them and the bloodwork comes back with a red flag in it. And that's if the doctor even sends them off for the right tests - fasting blood glucose can look fine but what about their glucose tolerance or their HbA1c?
I'd wager loads of people are diabetic or "pre-diabetic" which is just the same underlying problem as type 2 except it doesn't need insulin injections to conventionally manage (yet). Everyone trying to manage their weight seriously will need to attenuate their insulin in some way.

it is so hard to not eat food
i want to outwork my diet so bad but people keep telling me it's impossible
i just wanna eat

>>71078897
obviously a generic question, but is there any point in me going to the gym/working out/cardio while in a sizeable caloric deficit? I'm consistently losing weight atm, but would like to gain muscle/etc (i'm not focusing too hard on the number on the scale, more interested in how I look in the mirror each morning)

in a vacuum obviously it's great b/c it's extra calories lost + general benefits of working out, but I get hungry/find it harder to maintain a caloric deficit after a strenuous work out. I haven't done the math but I imagine there's a chance i eat back any calories I'd burn after working out.

ideally, I'd love to gain some muscle/definition while losing weight but that might be asking too much. any advice or guidance?

>>71093869
You should do cardio, preferably low intensity, as it's just a good way to add some extra calories burned each day. If you go for an hour walk at a good pace for a week you'll burn an extra 1400-2100 calories for not much effort.
For lifting it's true to say that you won't gain much muscle if any when in a deficit even mild ones like 500 calories. You do want to keep lifting though for a few reasons. First is that it's extra calories burned, although not as much as the cardio. Second is that you'll generate an afterburn effect which makes your cardio even more effective so its synergistic. Most importantly though lifting will help maintain what muscle mass you do have. Pretty much every study done shows that maintaining regular lifting at a decent intensity whilst eating more protein prevents muscle atrophy in even lean subjects with massive calorie deficits.
So the takeaway is keep lifting but if you're running a 6 day split and aiming for hypertrophy then maybe tweak your training a little. Drop the volume, keep the intensity and move to X3/4 a week for the extra recovery.

With all that being said your number one goal when cutting is to maintain your deficit. If absolutely any exercise jeopardizes that then you should stop. Losing fat is 80% diet.

>>71093869
If it makes following your diet harder then it's not worth it.
You should maybe work out why it makes you hungrier. Most likely your glucose levels drop quite a lot which often happens in fat people trying to exercise
If that's the case you can get away with a few glucose tabs (should be sub 20kcal) to fix the post-workout hunger

>you feel vindicated if the universe really is unfair and you can't control your behavior to any meaningful extent.
That sounds like projecting. It's not really that I can't self control myself, it's mostly that over the years due to my depression + personality type I have associated the "stress relief" with "bending the rules" and since I'm living alone I really have no one that holds me accountable for my procrastination
Don't think keeping a diary will help, as that sounds like something I could procrastinate on as well - I discovered that, like many, my source of "not doing things" mostly comes from overcomplicating the task at hand and a lack of discipline that hasn't been forged in me since I was a child.
What I find curious however is how today, randomly, for no fucking reason I decided to work out - while having dinner at that - I was supposed to do it this morning but overslept instead, and the last thing I expected to do tonight was to do so, in fact I fully expected to just "skip over" tonight as well but I didn't - it's completely out of character and it almost feels like I was possessed by someone else - so that's why I am curious about it.

>>71093858
I have the opposite problem.
I'm so disgusted with myself for letting things get to this point that I struggle to even meet my calorie requirement for a 1000+ kcal deficit. I just don't want to eat.
Though it's also possible I'm miscalculating my calories. For breakfast I had scrambled eggs with turkey breast and for my later meal I had 8oz chicken breast and some broccoli + mushrooms. Cronometer says that's about 800kcal anymore and I have no idea whether that number is higher or lower than it really should be. But I do know I need ~200 calories more and more protein today and I'm just not hungry.

Was good with my diet most this week but had a going away party for a mate. Ate at maintenace yesterday and will fast again today

How’re you going Endless?

I'd like every anon in this thread to consider that a component of their difficulty with eating too much is a result of our modern diets being devoid of fiber.

Due to unique medical status at the moment (not drugs), my digestion is significantly slowed. The result is my natural appetite overall has been much lower and actually matches how much I should be eating, when normally food goes through pretty quick and I *can* eat all the time if I want the food. I suspect fiber can play the same role in the future for me of slowing digestion and bringing my appetite closer to how it actually should be, and this makes sense to me because up until recently most people would be getting a lot more fiber in their diets than we are now. If that normal amount of fiber was a component of a healthy appetite all along, itd make sense that us low-fiber people in 2023 have outsized appetites.

I’d unironically tell them to go to therapy if you ever have something you want to fix about yourself but you don’t know how to get started. I went for social anxiety and while I’m not yet at the point where I’d consider myself close to fixed, I was able to give a best man speech and mingle with the guests. Therapy gives you a lot of tools to get started working on yourself, only so long as you pick the right therapist (I recommend CBT or EMDR as that’s what helped me). You still gotta put in the work but its nice to have an outside perspective on the kind of work you put in.

>>71094503
>the reality is that we all are / have been fucking fatasses for a reason
You simply don't hate yourself enough for it. Never let yourself forget you're a fatass, constantly remind yourself that your body fat % is over what a healthy human male should have, know for a fact everyone would like you a bit more automatically just if you weren't so fucking fat. It becomes easy to make yourself suffer (boring diets, working out) when you hate yourself.

What's the best way to fix being skinnyfat/slightly fat? Around 88kg with little muscle, try to bulk it up first to build up muscle while lifting weights or go straight to cutting and lift?

>>71093517
you need to put it on sedentary, the calories burner from exercising are greatly overestimated
as it says in the OP:

>and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high

2100 kcal is too high imo, TDEE at normal weight is around 1900kcal, I would eat around 1600-1800

>>71094691
Hating yourself not only is a double edged sword in the long run, but it also stops working pretty fast.
As a matter of fact, it creates this "rollercoaster" effect where you are fueled and motivated to "better yourself" only in those moments where you are reminded why you should hate your current self (personal example is when I went to social gatherings and I see mad puss but well aware that they would never have sex with me because of how I look) - when you aren't subjected by it anymore (say you go home and have a wank) all your self hatred and motivation goes away, you go back to your nasty habit until your next "hate trigger" then rinse repeat.
Trust me, it ain't consistent.
