This one time I was fat, then I stopped eating so much then I got not fat. Then I ate a little more and got a little chubby, then I stopped eating so much and got not chubby before I got fat again.

I don't understand how fat people are ok with making GBS threads so much. I was on a cruise recently where I reckon I ate as much as a smaller fat would and Jesus pooping three times a day was obnoxious. I mean I guess it doesn't matter when you just poo poo yourself then roll over in your side while some one scrubs the feces off you while you continue to eat your chicken bucket. But still.

Yeah that came out wrong. It's just that I find half the poo poo on that diet utterly intolerable to eat.
Thats the best part of the diet. Eventually you get so burned out on meat and poo poo you just stop eating and lose even more weight.

It's fun at first though too because you get sick of meat so quick you get back in the kitchen start cooking all kinds of fun poo poo. Cooking roasts with mashed cauliflower on the side, making pulled pork etc(At least for me it was fun rekindling a passion for cooking)

But even then you get sick of it and you go from Keto diet to ultra low calorie keto diet because you've stopped eating. Then you just drink yourself to sleep with Kraken spiced rum and Cherry Coke Zero.

alcohol makes a huge difference though, quit drinking and start using some other drug that doesn't contain calories instead. also only drink 0 calorie liquids
It was easier for me to just cut out the food and stick to hard liquor for my caloric needs.

you can eat like a complete piece of poo poo and not be fat as long as you stop eating enough to feed three people
Or you can do what I do often and just not eat all day long until dinner. And then eat all three meals at once like a giant piece of poo poo but not gain weight because you're at a big calorie deficit for the day.

Keto is pretty good dude. After like week one you're not even hungry.
That's the nice thing about Keto. Ketosis just kills hunger, you can get by on a thousand calories a day or less and still feel satiated. I think your body just thinks you're starving to death and figures it'd be rude to constantly remind you.

thats actually a terrible way to do it. Eating once daily typically makes your body think you are conservation mode so you hold on to more of what you eat. If you are managing to maintain a weight or lose weight while eating like this you would probably have way more success by eating in properly spaced intervals.

lol you're a dummy. What is my body living on during the day then before I eat? Mystical energy from dimension 9? No fool. I'm burning body fat into fatty acids and glycerol and using glycogen stores for energy during the day. Then I replenish them at night. I'm not magically using less calories when I walk up the stairs or beat my heart or maintain my tissues.

When I'm not in "conservation mode" does my body magically just decide to poo poo out my food undigested or something? To not "hold onto it".

yes, eating one meal a day causes your body to ignore the laws of thermodynamics

eating one meal a day is dumb, but it has nothing to do with "conservation mode" which is almost* completely bullshit.


*your body can go into a starvation mode after prolonged significant calorie reduction, but it involves reducing unnecessary body movement (like fidgeting) and not "holding on" to calories

Oh look. Hello goons who understand physics.

"Starvation mode" has got to be what fats just call feeling sluggish. If you still do poo poo anyway and push through it you'll still burn same amount of calories. Because you know conservation of energy. The first loving law of thermodynamics.

the only hard rule to weight loss is this: eat fewer calories than you expend

other than that just try and use some common sense and don't do poo poo like lose weight by exclusively guzzling bacon drippings

I think fats must think they go through photosynthesis to explain where those extra calories come from that physics demands is necessary to maintain their 400lbs bulk despite "swearing they only have 1800 calories a day".

I had to look it up to confirm but fat cells store disproportionately little water compared to other cells. This makes intuitive sense.

Correct, oil and water don't mix. That's why when I order/give medications to fats that are not lipid soluble I use ideal body weight or adjusted body weight and give less per pound/kilo then I would a normal person, because a 600lbs fat doesn't have 4 times the body water of a 150lbs human for the drug to distribute into.

I was under the impression that when you starve yourself you're basically shooting your metabolism to poo poo?

Not looking to cause gently caress fest about this, genuinely curious what the deal is. When I started eating regularly after that year of sub 1000 calories a day, I didn't gorge, I still worked out, maintained my basic lifestyle, so what accounted for the sudden ridiculous weight regain? 40lbs in 3 months seems rather high for an average diet and exercise regiment.

You were still eating too much for your body mass/build. What you should have done is kept getting on the scale and when you went up 5lbs, drastically cut down your intake until you were slowly losing again.

Maybe your basal metabolic rate may be a little lower than a skeletor person by a few hundred calories a day(I don't think people of the same size and gender differ too much more than that), you just need to figure out where yours lies and adjust to it.

I mean really you saw yourself gaining weight, the 40lbs in three months and chose not stop it. If your weight was going up you were simply having too many calories and you should have corrected for it.

I feel you though brother, I like to eat junk and I honestly think my metabolism is a little shittier than some. But what I do about it is I weight myself once a week when I'm on the dry side(dehydrated from drinking) and if I see I've gone up 5ish pounds I just dial back my diet. The way I like to eat honestly is not sustainable for my size and activity level, I like to have too many calories a day, so when I am at a good weight I usually spend 3 weeks of a month eating "normally" then a week fasting and that's just the sacrifice I have to make. I mean I could exercise but gently caress that/

"starvation mode" is a real thing but only happens after about not eating for three or four days. otherwise there is only about 5-8% variation in the majority of humanity's resting metabolic rate.

if i was a betting man, i would say your weight gain was very simply the result of eating too much food, as is virtually always the case.

What is real starvation mode? I haven't researched that. Is it simply like you said where you get less fidgety?

there are several stages but initially your body will begin to burn stored fat along with a bit of muscle. after all of your body fat is consumed it will start to burn lean tissue.

That just sounds like normal metabolism

even so, "starvation mode" only resulted in an 180 kcal reduction to daily metabolic expenditure when studied in a lab
So even if it is real just don't eat that extra string cheese stick and you're golden.

Panfilo posted:

I heard some anecdotes that weight fluctuations can contribute. My mom used to crash diet a lot in her twenties and developed them.

Yeah I just did some research on Uptodate and crash diets are associated with them. More common in women. It has to do with you putting nothing in your bowel to trigger bile to eject, so it just sits there and concentrates. Makes sense. Kinda like when you hold a turd in and the water gets absorbed by your rectum and now you have a butt stone.

Well I used to be a fat, then I decided to stop eating so much, no I am not a fat. I now use a hatred of fats as motivation to keep me from returning to being a fat.
