>Who is /fat/ for? For feta orbiters 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.
Do you have gains goblins in your life? Who are they and how do they try to fuck up your weightloss? I've had luck and didn't have anyone trying to throttle my weightloss but I've heard a couple of comments that I've lost too much weight when I was 20kg fatter than I am currently.

1,500 calories a day bros. Counting calories is all that matters.

>just count calories bro you can't outrun a bad diet A reminder that a 6' tall 220 lbs man working out at 8 Mets/h burns about 721 calories per hour, about the equivalent of 1.3 Big Macs.

>thread keeps dying Bros don't let these quarantine days stray you from your objective
Even though my weight loss has stalled for about a month (weight as a number).... I've noticed my loose skin tightening up a bit and my body changing shape in a good way.
I understand that while I've done great in reducing my calories overall, it looks like it's time to go through and look for new places to trim calories.
Part of my "mental fat battle" is learning I can be just fine eating MUCH LESS FOOD...
It may take me longer than you guys to make it, but I'll get there.
You can get your muscles back when you arent a lardball anymore. I lost 7 kg from cutting in April and only 800 g of that were muscle mass. Its a non issue.
David Moore
Get up earlier so you're more tired by the time you're in bed
Jack Harris
Well bros, I got to my goal weight and kept it off for a while, however since making it and becoming a chad I've got a gf and now lockdown has happened, these two things have contributed to me putting back 10lbs back on, so my question is, how do you dump your gf, only joking my real question is how are you guys dealing with exercise during quarantine? Are you doing home work outs thanks to youtube or still going out? Thanks all
Adam Taylor
I'm usually boxing now, so I dont have to go outside.
Brandon Sanchez
I have a great home gym that I built years ago. I'm not fat btw. Here's all (you) need to do though: Go to Lowe's Buy a 75 lb bag of cement and duct tape Tape the shit out of the bag Use that to workout with
For ~$20 you can get all of the gear you need to get in better shape than 99% of people if you are willing to put in the effort.
Josiah Sanders
This It's infinitely easier to not try and minmax the weight loss part and just bulk back up after
Mason Ward
How will reaching your goal weight affect your life? What other goals will you set for yourselves? >I'd be able to wear cool clothes, get really fucking good at cardio (dad and grandpa could run a mile in under 5 mins so it's in my genetics), be more spontaneous, and much more. I'd probably set another goal to lower my bf% to somewhere around 10-12 and put on a few pounds of muscle
Aiden Russell
Step 1) Don't fall for the 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight meme Step 2) Eat at least 0.36 grams per pound of body weight like a normal person
Jason Wilson
Beans, lentils, cheese, Italian cold cuts. Try protein powder if you really struggle.
Brayden Reed
She isn't attracted to me anymore
Juan Jackson
>was getting close to goal >gained 10 lbs since quarantine
Yes you are, but now get your clown wig back on you've got weight to lose
Cooper Collins
Exercise bike and calisthenics, both my shoulders are injured though so I do mostly leg and core exercises. Got to normal BMI, now I just need to lower body fat
Sebastian Ortiz
Yep, still fat
Luis Miller
Can you guys help me choose a calisthenics routine? There is so many different options but I can't do all of the movements for one of them
Xavier Clark
>trying to lose weight >eating less sugars >still can't resist buying sweets when I see good stuff on sale >chocolate bars are slowly piling up in my fridge Well, my willpower might not be the strongest, but at least my priorities are straight.
Going to be doing some heavy drinking to celebrate the end of classes tonight. What steps should I take to minimize the damage? Only had 90 calories of greek yogurt so far.
Go and bin every single one now. Create the sudden impulse to do that. You don't need that shit, have protein bars instead - they're just as good, some even better. You can do better, you must do better.
