You just need a better idea of where you are in relation to your recommended daily caloric intake

get pancreatic cancer and lose like 15 kg in one week! side effects may include a painful death. SERIOUS ANSWER Someone mentioned it before but Intermittent Fasting is awesome, just eat your kilocaloric needs in an 8 hour frame (although theres people that do it in even less). There's been a ton of articles from well respected journals that conclude IF helps for weight loss, and it may work prevention for ischaemic heart disease, neurologic degeneration, and it might even prolong life spans.

This is basically what I was doing, though I didn't hear it called intermittent fasting until afterwards. I ate lunch at noon and dinner at 6, then nothing until the next day. It kept my apitite in check

When I first decided to fix my diet I meticulously logged everything in MyFitnessPal for a few weeks. For unpackaged stuff, weigh the poo poo and then you can just search the food database for generic "chicken breast" or "black beans" and then plug in whatever amount you weighed out. After a while you'll start to get a sense of how many calories are in things and what a real portion of common items should look like. I seldom weigh my meals anymore but I'm still losing weight

As others have said, just eat all your food for the day during an 8 hour window. Only water outside those times. Even if you don't need to lose weight, you'll still feel better this way.

fishing with the fam posted:How the hell do people count calories if they prepare their own meals? It seems like you could only accurately count calories if everything you eat is packaged and pre-proportioned. Packaged meals are almost always absolute dogshit. This is why I suggest eating "whole" foods. A chicken breast is a chicken breast, broccoli is broccoli, and a potato is a potato (and despite what you may have heard, potatoes are loving awesome if you don't fry them or drown them in horrible poo poo). All those things are very easy to weigh, are loving fantastic for you, and can be made super-yummy without adding a bunch of calories with add-ons.

numberoneposter posted:the only way i ever lose weight has been through strenuous exercise You can't, or I can't at least, drink hard and work out hard at the same time or even in close proximity. That simple physical reality forced me to stop drinking most days. To get there you also need to feel like you have to work out. Good luck on your journey.

If you intend to lose weight, you should learn about glycogen stores! I believe that lack of understanding of how glycogen works is the primary reason why people give up. When your glycogen stores are depleted that first week of your new diet, the water supporting them is shed at the same time, which is why you lose that quick 10 pounds! It's also the reason why you *don't* lose 10 pounds that second week, and only lose two, because the glycogen stores are gone and there's no excess water to shed. That can be frustrating for people who expect to get the same result for the same effort. Thankfully, there's enough folk wisdom floating around about "water weight" that a lot of people aren't too discouraged by that. It's the opposite condition where the trouble really comes in. People lose two pounds a week, feeling like they're starving themselves, and one day eat a bit more than their maintenance. And then gain five pounds immediately. And then go "WHAT THE gently caress, STARVATION MODE IS REAL, I GIVE UP." No, it's not, it's just your glycogen stores getting refilled, relax. Go back to what you were doing and that five pounds will drop just as quickly as it went on. And then you'll go back to your regularly-scheduled two pounds per week. There are other implications to the whole glycogen cycle. One of them being that you can only turn fat into energy so fast, which is why the glycogen is there in the first place. When we exert ourselves, the glycogen is there to help us keep up with our energy expenditure. So what if we exert ourselves with no glycogen left to pull from? Lotsa protein in them muscles! And what you don't want to do while losing fat is also lose muscle. I mean, you will lose muscle, but let's keep it to a minimum, shall we? How do we do that and still exercise? Lifting a thing is a fine thing to do, and cardio exercise in the "fat-burning zone" is good, just don't get your heart rate too high for long periods of time. You should be able to have a normal conversation without struggling while doing cardio during weight loss. It's also why doctors generally recommend you don't lose more than two pounds a week, because losing more means you're pushing past your liver's ability to keep up and you're gonna lose muscle. Those doctors are pretty smart, listen to them. Plus, the more weight you're losing, the hungrier you will be, and the harder it will be to keep those demons at bay.

I'm about to give up on this ascetic thing. Skipped breakfast. Eventually navigated my way through to a plain lunch with right intention. 500 calories. Meditated for a bit. Useful. Hungry again. Feeling a bit light headed. Probably gonna get some take out

I started going out for walks everyday to relieve stress, just had some upbeat music to listen to and walk for half an hour or so, usually at lunch or in the evenings. I was actually surprised that I lost weight because it didn't feel like exercise to me, it was just how I would chill out after a hard day at work.

I was reading this story about a fat woman who thought she had a rectovaginal fistula..or a hole between her rectum and her vagina, because she had poo poo coming out of her pussy. it turns out she was just a giant fat rear end vegetable hater and poo poo was just leaking out of her anus and going up her vulva.

runupon cracker posted:Fat loss (because that's really what you're aiming for) is 90% diet and 10% everything else. Exercise is important, but you will not lose weight through exercise alone. You must change your diet or you're just going to chase your tail forever. Lol you've been overweight for four years straight and you act like some kind of expert on weight loss? Get to a healthy body weight for once and maybe then you'll have something to say

Use my fitness regimen. Install MyFitnessPal Install Strava Stop eating too much and get on your bike. Stay in the green on MFP Drop 85lbs Get addicted to cycling and fitness Buy 5 bikes in 2 years Get hit by cars 3 times, still keep riding Slowly stop doing all your sedentary hobbies, like stupid computer games. Start fishing and hunting and stuff Get so loving sick and tired of your lovely office job that you get yourself fired because you cant hide your contempt for the white collar circle jerk and the constant discussions from coworkers that do nothing but talk about the junk they buy the food they eat and the stupid poo poo they watch on TV Get a job at a bike shop Wait maybe stop at dropping the weight. I think I'm slowly going broke.

Actually fat is 100% genetic and it's impossible to loose weight and your weight doesn't have any relation to your health and no I'm not going to tell you how much I weight that's sizeist.

That's way more interesting than having to listen to coworkers fan theories about their stupid zombie and DC superhero tv shows for 8 loving hours a day. Also wtf I just used some websites math to figure out my 'fat burning zone' for heart rate and it's like 130. That's super boring.
