>Who is /fat/ for? For dough elementals who want to better themselves through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss
>Now what do I do? Count calories, all of them. Calculate your TDEE at sedentary Buy scales, be accurate in your measurements Learn how to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables. Eat a lot of protein. 1g per lb of goal body weight. Do cardio. Even if its just walking, cardio will improve your health which is sorely needed. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can off set the risks. Lift weights. This will keep and gain muscle mass and burn fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body burning away muscle AND fat. You don't want this. Post your height/weight/screenshot of MFP/Cronometer food log when asking for advice
>DON'T Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calorie count Eat processed foods, or at least try to avoid if possible Drink your calories. Alcohol, soda, hot chocolate, fancy starbucks shit. forget it. Freak out over a stall in weight loss. Plateaus can last up to three weeks. "Reward" yourself. Be a retard.
What are the short and longterm downsides to extreme caloric deficiency (or whatever)? Lately I've been eating a lot less and not even getting hungry throughout the day. Yesterday I calculated I got around 1300 cal, ~650 with breakfast (some instant ramen) and ~650 lunch/dinner (small portion of mixed eggs and ham). I usually get around ~1600 by adding an apple and a joghurt into the mix and I've been losing quite a bit. If there are any downsides to this I'm willing to increase my intake, I calculated my TDEE is around 2100-2200, 82kg (180lbs) now.
>inb4 underreporting It's easier with prepackaged stuff where you can just check the label, but with cooking I can only do a best guess since it's so many ingredients and I don't even prepare it.

Down 12 lbs in the last 4 weeks. Keto with intermittent fasting, plus occasional 72hr water fasts. 20 more lbs to go.
Connor Martin
That's so close bro, congrats!
what's the x-axis? At first i thought it was DD-MM
Gavin Sullivan
it is days, i have been at it for over 3 years.

I used to post here two years ago, and we all told you that you the "steady progress" or whatever you used to say wouldn't last.
Jayden Myers
the last year and a half i was just maintaining my weight because i reached my goal weight, of course if i kept going lower and lower i would eventually cease to exist. I don't exactly understand what you are trying to say?
David Wright
Hey there friends! Another week has passed and i'm here to share my "spoils". i lost half a kilo, as calculated and expected! Didn't bingo and everything went according to to plan. But the day i weighed myself i was tempted by pizza and chocolate and went over by 1500 calories.
My fitness has been stagnating tho, no jogging at all. I cant even to the 7 assisted pull-ups anymore, just 5. But i'm positive all the lift will go up again!
Coming here to /fat/ kinda feels like being at the "good part" of fit, away from the cancer of this board, except the occasional troll. It actually feels nice posting in here.
I'm sure that we're all gonna make it, friends!
Isaac Butler
1300 calories is not extremely low, especially if you have little muscle mass. Carry on.
Grayson Gomez
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM CONSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOMING
how? not saying I don't fuck up and pig out on fast food once in a while but a huge mcdonalds meal for me is like... 2000 calories, lets say I do that and pint of ice cream(which I don't) I could maybe reach 4500 a day if I ALSO ate my normal meals.
How... how much do weigh, user?
Owen Wood
same my friend. i got like 11lbs to lose, down 77lbs we're all gonna make it
So guys, how to deal with excess skin? I've post 80+ lbs and still got 30+ for my end goal, but I already have too much excess skin on my arms, lega and near my boobs. I might consider surgery, but I'd like to limit it to maybe my arms. Along with my daily exercise, I've started doing yoga and strongly considering OMAD, but what else can I do?
Caleb Richardson
I go out and buy a bunch of food to binge on always telling myself that tonight is the last night. It doesnt even seem hard for me to reach that many calories. weigh 270ish
Robert Kelly
Time to leave humanity behind and start bulking up that muscle mass.
I'm not saying I never did that, but three days in a row? Get it together, user.
Ayden Flores
This is my concern as well. I'm starting today and reading about loose skin and it seems awful. Anything I can do during weight loss to prevent it?
Daniel Nguyen
>arms Easiest to fix without surgery, just train your arms >chest Moderately fixable with chest exercises >stomach This is what needs surgery most often because you can't build muscle to fill up the slack there.
