>>227 cool, thanks for the posts, second one looks especially useful time to get /fit/ and impregnate

>>706120 Show us those glutes, running man.

>>706120 Reminds me of this. Post the ass anon. This clearly now needs a sequel.

>>230 Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind having an ass like that.

DDR may be old hat now but it's still an effective way to not be so much of a fatass. Let ol' Manson demonstrate. >>231 Forget the ass, those thighs are the size of a traffic light pole

>>233 I try to put in at least 15 minutes a day on my flimsy PS2 CS pad. I'm up to standard 7-8 feet difficulty. Wish DDR XX Starlight wasn't a drama shithole of a project and didn't need Project Outfox, but for now the Max 2 HD skin and Stepmania 5.something work fine.

It didn't help me get fit per say, but I lost a lot of weight via cardio with one of these. It helped motivate me to take a ~2 hour walk on a nature path that was next to a free charging station for my plug in EV Hybrid. The Vital brackets don't hit the same way though. It doesn't feel like I'm progressing as there is no narrative attached to it, and with its adventure mode its all or nothing, either you hit the step goal or you back out and start over again, where as the digivice keeps all your steps even if you don't hit the boss.

>>226 >lean ground beef >lowfat dairy Anon, I... posting cookbook from /fit/ eceleb Sol Brah

For those that can afford it and have the space, VR is the best way to mix fitness and vidya. Don't be afraid of buying a used headset from someone if they have a high seller's rating. You'll sweat enough to overpower whatever musk they may have had. Basic headset summary: Vive: FOr those that can be bothered setting up base stations (which you should be) >OG - can be had cheaply now. Low res display, but you'll get used to it. Many accessories. >Pro - don't bother. Pricier, runs much hotter on your face and sound is worse than the OG >Cosmos - absolute shit tier tracking. >Cosmos Elite - what the Pro should have been, but still uses ancient Vive wands. Plan to buy Index controllers Windows mixed reality: Tracking is good as long as hands are in view of the cameras. Room tracking is okay >Samsung Odyssey - best of the worst of its generation. Good resolution, but get the Kiwi Headstrap to make it secure >OG Reverb: Cheapest of the bunch. You will need headphones and mic as it does not feature these. >Reverb G2: High quality sound and resolution, but same average tracking as the others. Index >Very pricey, but mostly worth it. Take the front panel off and buy the fan accessory. Comfy. Not the greatest resolution or colours, but has a wider FOV and higher refresh rate which more than compensate. Controllers are some of the best you can get. Oculus: >Wanting Zucc's circumcised cock in your face

This isn't video games at all. this is just a /fit/ thread.

>>238 And I'm totally okay with that because outside of cuckchan there is no /fit/ board anymore. These are hard times, anon

>>230 I WANT TO FUCK THE WII FIT GIRL

>>239 I mean I am ok with it but the other mods might disagree.

>>238 >This isn't video games at all. You can bring up /fit/ related games, /fit/ software released on consoles, and so on.

>>240 Fuel for the fire

>>240 me too.

What's a good low impact routine for someone recovering from illness? Anything high impact just puts me back in bed for another week of shitting blood so I want to just slowly ease into it and get my fitness up before I can be cleared for the heavy weights again.

>>244 I just want to smell her ass after a long stretching session on the summer

>>246 I M A G I N E

>>244 Her ass and thighs are glowing. I know it's to show muscle groups, but it's still amusing to me.

Is yoga ball supposed to help in back and hip pain? I have only heard online and searching just shows some excercise videos. Does sitting on it help reduce pain you get while sitting in front of pc all day?

>>249 I don't think it is a pain reducer, more like a device that passively works you out by enforcing good posture. If anything your pain might be more pronounced at first. I have low vision and I would say if you can afford it (passable ones are in the $100 range) get an articulated monitor arm so you can just move the monitor closer to you. If I didn't use these I'd be a fucking goblin at this point from bending forward to read things.

Be sure to take your L-Arginine anon, lifting becomes way easier for someone starting out, but it's important even for a veteran because it allows growth and gives you endurance to keep going. If I don't take it, I feel strained and want to quit on the first rep, a massive difference I'd say. Also go full wario mode and eat your garlic, it really gives you that extra boost when doing cardio and lifting.

>>249 >>250 >passively works you out by enforcing good posture I've seen people do this before and will suggest that you actually try to maintain good posture while doing it (and don't sit on it for hours at a time). Using one and sitting on it with poor posture for long periods of time can potentially cause spinal shrinkage or just back pain in general.

>>226 Seed/Nut oils are trash Anon, alter you compilation with meat based cooking oils. Not this estrogenic trash. Lot of this is flawed too for recommending noodle and other shit food heavy diets that are for slant subhumans and not western chads.

>>253 Real men only consume the semen of other chads, to maintain peak performance.

>>254 No, those are femboys.

>>254 Sounds like a Eunuch pill. Only effeminate men receive semen or bottom at all. Instead of retaining other's semen, why not retain your own. (I do not mean eating your own cum for the record)

>>256 If you do that for too long, then all the cum starts to go to your head.

>>257 I go bike riding an hour a day for years now. But goddamn I should drop the soda on the weekends.

>>226 The first image legit made me think of that Guptill89 workout video.

>>249 I don't know about sitting on a ball, but when my computer chair broke and I started using a stool as a temporary (that means permanent) replacement my posture improved a lot. I now think that leaning back on a backrest might relax some back muscles in a counterproductive way, even if you are sitting properly.

>>257 No your body reabsorbs the nutrients you'd otherwise be spending and production isn't as high to compensate for loss. Limit your fap sessions to once a month and I promise you anons, you'll feel a lot better and make more gains.

>>253 Seed oils are fine for cooking. You shouldn't be consuming oil or butter as an actual food. And seed oils are way better for keeping shit non-stick than fucking butter is for your health. This era of contrarian nutrition advice is awful. It's this constant flipflop between everything you've been told being wrong. Next decade suddenly everyone will be shilling sugar or some stupid shit.

>>262 >Seed oils are fine for cooking. You shouldn't be consuming oil or butter as an actual food. And seed oils are way better for keeping shit non-stick than fucking butter is for your health. <consume the PUFAs goyim

>>263 Like I said anons are brain dead when it comes to basic nutrition. Kill yourself with heart disease, I don't care enough.

>>264 I cut machine lubricant oil from my diet long ago and mostly source my fats from animal products now. I am in better shape than you will ever be.

>>238 I wouldn't mind a /fit/ here but it needs to be active for it to be justifiable.

>>265 Your anecdotes mean nothing. Go get a blood test and post it ITT if you want to prove you aren't going to be dead by 50.

>>267 >Your anecdotes mean nothing. And neither does your Jewish bullshit but yet here you are telling people to choose canola oil over butter.

>>268 How in-shape you are isn't going to make much of a difference when your arteries clog up. But this is the same board where anons unironically argued that an egg every single day is healthy. It's all just rationalizing the hedonistic diet practices you already wanted to be engaging in in the first place. Which is fine, just don't pretend like you plan to live a long life.

>>269 My god you're still stuck in the early 2000s

>>270 Which would mean I have 20+ years on you which would be accurate considering what you think you can get away with eating.

>>262 >>263 >>264 >>265 >>267 >>268 >>269 >>270 >>271 What are you two assholes fighting about?

>>272 We're just talking about how much better canola oil is for you than the more naturally occurring sources of fat which have nourished hard working and physically active people for thousands of years before the industrial revolution.

>>273 Canola and corn oil are shit but other nut and seed oils are OK. Cavemen ate oily and starchy seeds too you know.

>>274 Vegetable oil is not good either. If I needed to coat my pan to make something not stick I would use either ghee or tallow. Olive oil and avocado oil are fine but I would not expose them to high temperatures.

Is this correct? beef tallow > coconut oil > olive oil >> palm oil >>>>>>> other oils

>>262 >>264 Seed oils are a source of phytoestrogen and there is a reason there was a concerted effort to make meat based cooking oil obsolete and every fastfood chain swapping to around the same time the obesity epidemic really took off. It's soyboy cooking garbage and not healthy for cooking, you are the ignorant one here retard. Butter is no where near as unhealthy or linked to the insane rise in obesity if you move around for at least an hour a day, you are a blind deceived arrogant jack ass that doesn't want to go through the effort to change your diet. Keep consuming your soybean and seed oil diet ya twink faggot. >>269 >eggs bad Reminder that soyboys hate that you love eggs and meat and want you to be a twink bugman like them. Eat eggs every day! >>276 Perfect.

>>277 Reminder that the people who say "eggs bad" are the same kind of retards to replace them with Honey Nut Cheerios

>>277 I forgot how damaging seed oils can be, thanks anon!

>>279 Oh god I haven't seen that girl in over 10 years now

My aunt is a dietitian and has vented to me about the some of the problems with health recommendations. I'd summarize them as thus: >Centralization of recommendations Generally speaking healthcare professionals are at least encouraged, at most required (depending on what kind of practice they are doing) to abide by government endorsed guidelines and studies. My aunt worked at the VA and unfortunately that meant she had to follow the government guidelines in spite of the fact that they she knew damn well that the government studies were flawed and that there is better research out there. She had to keep up with actual good research and make actually good recommendations that fit within the guidelines she was required to not contradict. >Assumption of sameness This is part of the reason why health recommendations keep flip-flopping on if eggs are healthy or not. You absolutely cannot give generalized dietary recommendations. We are just barely scratching the surface of the role that genetics play in each and everyone's individual ability to process, store, absorb, synthesize, etc nutrients, vitamins, proteins, lipids, etc and what not. The sweeping advice that institutions give out don't factor in all the little quirks that a persons genes can play on what they need to be eating. Some of these generalizations can be mitigated by separating the populations by ethnic group, but that is seen as suspicious and possibly discriminatory by the public at large so its typically not done by governmental institutions who make the sweeping guidelines. Hell, they don't even do a good job making the distinction between dietary needs of the men and women outside of the context of prenatal nutritional requirements. My aunt can handle an egg a day, my mother could not due to gallstones nor can my sister also due to gallstones. >Special interests influence I don't even think I need to go anywhere near in depth as the above with you guys, but part of the issue with government studies is that special interest groups know what studies are going to be used by governments and they find out what researchers are conducting which studies and they always find ways to try and influence their conclusions.

>>281 couldn't there be a generalized health recommendation which accounts for the most common exceptions? i.e. [dairy/calcium alternatives for lactose intolerant] or whatever?

>>282 You can give recommendations of things to avoid if there are specific known genetic factors on that specific person in question, but rather then give a one size fits all, this is the best source of calcium that you must eat if you want to be health, its better to inform the person what their options are let them figure it out by trial and error to see what actually works for them.

>>277 Ah yes, (((heart disease))), the old rallying cry for special interest faggots corrupting dietary standards everywhere.

Diet isn't going to prevent you from being shot in the head with a gun, run over by a car or get stabbed by someone else and bleed to death. Certainly didn't prevent Aniki dying from a car running into him.

>>284 If you're a fat retard stop eating, no fancy diet is going to fix that.

>>285 >he hasn't practiced self defense and bought at least a lethal and non lethal weapon Cars are a wildcard though, best advice I can give is don't walk or drive around at 12AM to 2AM, peak drunk driving hours for fuckwads leaving the bar

>>285 Yes, but you don't know how you're gonna die Might as well reduce risks so that assuming that shit doesn't happen, that you don't get fucked by something preventable

>>286 "Muh heart disease" is quite possibly the singular reason diabetes is such a problem in this country. It's the reason why "fat bad sugar not bad" became the American and British dietary guidelines. Americans drink soda every day because of this bullshit. In the 1950s soda was a thing you went out to get as a treat.

>>288 Don't eat like a fucking retard then, everyone fucking dies in the end, including you, you are not special.

>>285 What is the purpose of this post? Having a good diet doesn't make you an invulnerable super soldier, it just makes you healthier and more likely to live longer. With a good diet and exercise you have a better chance of jumping out of the way of that car or running away from a knife wielding lunatic. >>290 Post physique you edgy fat retard lol

>>290 Eating is important but exercise helps ensure good health, good muscles = good immune system for example

>>289 I just don't understand how anyone can be over the age of 16 and still drink soda on the regular

>>289 Americans drink soda because they like how it tastes. Heart disease is still a significant issue and the leading cause of death. You retards are just contrarian faggots and think guzzling lard is healthy because some whiny jews ignored the issues with sugar to push some product.

>>294 >Americans drink soda because they like how it tastes. Really? Then it's funny how everyone stopped smoking when authorities acknowledged that it was bad for you and shortened your lifespan, even though many people liked it. >Heart disease is still a significant issue and a leading cause of death No shit, that was my point. The dietary standards adopted in the early 70s didn't help at all, it was so the corn and sugar kike could get more sales. >You retards are just contrarian faggots and think guzzling lard is healthy because some whiny jews ignored the issues with sugar to push some product. You are the contrarian retard, nowhere did I suggest that guzzling lard is healthy. You're simply looking for a fight because you have nothing better to do.

>>294 >Heart disease is still a significant issue and the leading cause of death Correlated with the rise of plant-based oxidized oils

>>295 >everyone stopped smoking except they didn't just stop smoking immediately lmfao, it took forever to actually lower it, and people moved unto vaping instead because smoking "wasn't cool" anymore Smoking is viewed as "last generation".

>>297 Yeah, it does take time. Gee, it's almost as if the public was lied to about nutritional standards 50 years ago aside a simultaneous commercial push for unhealthy foods and if that didn't happen our public health would have improved.

>>298 what does that have to do with smoking? A lot of people still smoked in the eras when it was well-known when it was bad for you. Nutritional standards involving food is not the same thing as newly discovered health risks from drug use.

>>289 > In the 1950s soda was a thing you went out to get as a treat. As a poorfag I'm honestly surprised how much shit people treat as a daily meal rather than a treat. Fast food, 'snacks' such as Pringles or instant/premade food like noodle packets.

>>294 >muh heart disease Because of obesity linked to changing food practices. You ignore that seed oils are full of estrogen and turn men into faggots, you are the one being contrarian and ignoring the facts. >>300 The instant noodles to mention are often cheap and come in larger packs like ramen, it's a budget food not a treat.

>>301 You could probably count micky-Ds as a budget food at least compared to other fast food joints but I still cannot wrap my head around eating that three meals a day seven days a week. Like shit I like the nuggets(at least before they turned into blocks of breaded who knows what that I doubt are actually chicken) but having those once a month is all I could stomach.

>>291 If your problem is that you have to jump from a car trying to kill you, you are running away from your problems like a fat retard, like your typical bodybuilder. The garbage you eat isn't going to change your country from being gentrified by the Kalergi Plan.

>>299 It is an example of external pressure succeeding in causing people to change their habits concerning health. Pretty simple stuff. The guy I responded to suggested that the majority of people are immune to external pressure because "soda taste good," which is just not true. >a lot of people Yes and there's less of them now. Vaping will eventually become less popular too, when the veneer of novelty wears off.

>>303 The two are unrelated, at least until you figure out that fat retards (such as yourself) are not disciplined or organized enough to change anything. Again what is the purpose of your posts except to counter signal good health like you are the only one that understands anything. Kill yourself.

>>305 People who obsess over what other people eat should kill themselves to be frank, you're making up for your own faults by controlling the behavior of others.

>>302 No restaurant is a budget food unless you have no foresight and are very impulsive, i.e. a large number of poor people. Before fast food was ubiquitous they'd eat pork shoulder, beans and other cheap foods. These foods are still cheaper to buy in bulk than fast food as long as you are willing to cook them.

>>306 Oh so your changing your argument to "don't care about the state of society" now, ignoring that this is a health thread for /v/irgins. Yes I absolutely care what society is eating as it effects the whole, and we don't live in a vacuum lolbert faggot. >you're making up for your own faults Fat edgy nihilist projects onto others outside of Reddit. >by controlling the behavior of others Egads how dare you suggest I eat better! Post physique and tell us about your relationship with your father.

>>308 He's obviously niggerpilling at this point, just stop replying. Even when society turns into a jungle of spear checkers and cartels, it would be lame and unmanly to give up. How boring can you be?

>>285 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6MQUaXFfLY

How would you get around muscle fatigue in a gamified workout without giving the user bullshit exercises? Some facebook/Spiral Knights type energy system where the game lets you play for a set number of minutes every day/interval? >>307 Like I said, relative to other fast food joints you could count McDs as cheaper than others. But again I'm not sure if anyone could stomach that shit as their entire daily meal plan even putting aside the cost. >>285 If you get fit enough you can learn to go limp in your joints and tank any damage.

>>308 Anyone can eat however they want and keep their weight low, I'm not being edgy by saying that, I've always thought of fitness as people trying to run away from their problems, that's just my opinion, unironically.

>>311 Yeah, I guess, if you get bludgeoned in the joints instead of just punctured.

>>293 For me it was because it was handy and because it was a uniform product. I always preferred sweet tea to soda but everyone makes it a little different and you can't always reliably find good sweet tea at a restaurant. I hated spoiling a good meal with poorly prepared tea. Fountain drink was just easier. Then I realized finally that I was craving the carbonation rather than the taste or the sweetness of soda and I switched to seltzer water.

>>312 No they can't, if you eat like a pig you will turn into one. You're edgy for repeating the loser faggot millenial/zoomer thing of "nothing matters we're all gonna die anyway" excuse for doing nothing with your life. You also certainly cannot be strong by just eating anything, here's a reality check for you. >I've always thought of fitness as people trying to run away from their problems, that's just my opinion, unironically. This is what you are actually doing, hence why I accused you of projection. You are making excuses for yourself and pushing that onto others, your opinion is vague garbage anyway since you cannot even extrapolite what problems are supposedly being run from. People get fit to lose weight and get stronger, if they are fat or weak that is the problem being confronted.

>>245 Walking up and down hills and the rowing machine?

My only real problem with the Mongolian comparisons is that the chink mainlander Chinese took back their country from the Mongolians with guns after they learned how to make them, eating habits didn't do shit to protect them from being chased out.

>>317 They didn't chase them out per se retard, they absorbed them. The ruling class became more Chinese than Mongol over time.

>>317 >why bother being in good shape when someone can just shoot you Retard

>>226 I find it interesting how my diet almost mirrors the recommendations even though I wasn't inspired by it. As a child, I ate highly processed foods almost exclusively, but I've lost about 90lbs since I cut that shit out and started making my own meals. Anyway, I'm going to share a few of my recipes and hope that it inspires people to try something new. French Loaf Makes two baguettes. Proof 1 and 3/4 teaspoons of yeast with a quarter cup of water and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Temperature of the water is supposed to be ~110 degrees Fahrenheit, which is close to a comfortable temperature at which you wash your hands at. Get a thermometer if you're not sure. Mix that shit up in a glass and leave it be until it's about double in volume. Fresh yeast should do that in under 10 minutes and it will smell like alcohol. Mix 1 and 1/4 cups of water with two teaspoons of salt and then add three cups of bread flour to that. I use two cups of white flower and one cup of whole wheat. Your yeast should be pretty fucking high right now, so pour that shit in, but try to avoid the salty water. You'll wanna mix that shit up in a bowl using your hands to the point where everything is covered and then let the bread rise for about an hour or so, covering the bowl with plastic wrap if you're a bitch or a dampened towel (paper works fine). Take that out, put it on a floured cutting board, punch out some of the air, and let it rise again for at least 30 minutes while covered with a damp towel. You'll probably want to preheat your over to 450 at this point as it takes a while and put in a sheet with some water at the bottom of it. Prepare a baking sheet. You can use parchment paper, but I like to rub a very small amount of olive oil into it and then coat the surface with flour. Cut dough in half, make little baguettes as long as your baking sheet (~14 inches), and cut at least three grooves diagonally to the baguettes to let excess moisture out when cooking. Let it rise for another half hour or whatever before you put it in. Put it in for at least 20 minutes and take out when the surface is a sturdy crust. Let it cool down for a bit and you have fucking bread man. Easiest shit in the world. Bread will look like pic related, though less shiny because this one was glazed with egg. I'll post my granola recipe later, but I just ripped that shit from NYT. Pretty fucking good with yogurt and berries.

>>285 >be me >23 years old >weigh 582 pounds >am hungry every two hours >order food to be delivered >consume two liters of soda and five double cheeseburgers >have to add sugar, salt, and mayonaisse to every bite because even McDonald's doesn't taste like anything anymore. >costs me all my disability check every month, but at least I don't have to work >save some money by having mom stock up on Twinkies and Coke for snacks >piss into bottles because getting up hurts >shit in diaper because then I only have to change it every few days >need help to wipe my ass so sometimes I just don't >every night, I heft myself from my reinforced steel chair into my bed >spend ten minutes locating dick so I can beat off before bed >finally fall asleep >wake up every hour because I stop breathing >one night, don't wake up >parents have to demolish wall to get my body out >they have to call in an ambulance from two counties over to find one I fit in >get charbroiled like a Burker King patty because it's cheaper than buying three plots and a triple-wide coffin. >mfw at least I didn't get hit by a car, that would be embarassing

>>285 >>286 >>290 >>303 >>306 >>312 >>313 >>317 Is this some kind of avant-garde trolling? It's giving me a laff

>>322 >eating when you're hungry Why do people do this?

>>324 OH MY GOD IT'S JACK SKELLINGTON

>>323 now anon will claim pic related and say how easy is it to troll here

>>250 >>252 >>260 Thanks for advice, i will try to use a small stool to try to keep myself upright and strengthen my lower back. Any (easy) excercises that I can do?

I'm excercising regularly and drinking tons of water which I recommend to all who don't want to look like shit, I think I look great, but I have a question. It might seem stupid or perverse, but are there any effective excercises/diets which increase sexual sensitivity? I've been playing with my nipples and they got sensitive to the point the pleasure is too much and it's hard to do it for too long and it takes some self-control not to fuck up my teeth as I do it, but I sort of want even more and I'm wondering what it is I could do. Just continuing to do it seems to slowly increase it even more over time, but I'm curious if I can speed it up even further.

>>328 Stick a dildo up your ass.

>>285 That is why you diet, exercise, AND own a gun you fucking retard.

Anyone tried ring fit? From the looks of it, it seems to be one of the very few fitness games that equally combines videogames with training/fitness.

>>328 hey aren't you the guy who was thanking someone here to suggest you nipple stimulation? And now you want more?

>>332 Can't believe /v/ is grooming an anon into becoming a cuteboy.

>>333 It's not gay if it's mirin', brah.

>>321 Misinformation, the chart. >consume cancerous plastic waste to look cute Also you could weight train all you want and still look like a "trap". No amount of bench press is going to magically make you look shredded and huge. The notion that lifting makes you look big and muscular comes from the fact we're exposed to roided out cheaters in the media and online. Most people will barely see a body composition difference without going above and beyond with their diet and protein intake while lifting heavily for years. A "trap" could do any basic lifting regime and pack on virtually no visible muscle as long as they weren't in a significant caloric surplus.

>>328 There was an anon who said smoking weed was great for nipple play, are you the same guy? Anyways, maybe rub some of that puereria mirifca shit on your mantits, I remember reading about that during pic related guide. L-Arginine and anything that vasillates your arteries would be good for stimuli

>>329 Thanks, I'm doing that sort of stuff already but very rarely (once a month or two), I'd prefer knowing what foods and excercises can boost my experience, I know food and drinks like chocolate, tea can affect the mood so why couldn't it affect other things like pleasure? but then using buttplugs and dildos probably counts as an excercise and can be very taxing on the body, so I guess you did meet my criteria and I'm just being too lazy to do it because of how long it takes to do it right? >>332 Yes, I did do that once, but before that I saw an anon doing the exact same thing, which is why I had to try it and it slowly became really great. Nipples are some Slaanesh shit, there's no satisfying pleasure in regular fapping anymore nor has there been for I think more than a year, and the sensations of when I do it my way just go too hard. Used to be able to do it for an hour before jerking off at the edge, but now it's hard to go 30 minutes of pure nipple stimulation. It's just too much, but I want more. I recommend it to anyone. >>336 I never said anything of weed, it must've been another anon, but many thanks for the product recommendations, that's exactly the sort of stuff I wanted.

>>337 Haha anon do you think I could drive you to and past orgasm just through caressing and teasing your body haha Hehe woah like would it feel better to rub your little buttons while stroking your thighs and every so often planting little kisses on your chest ha Would it even matter if you were chaste or not? Or would you cum even faster h-haha

I don't know how to stop being fat. Last time I lost weight I dropped nearly 50 lbs but I've regained around 30. It's not fair. I noticed that after I dropped all that weight my appetite increased and I felt hungry way more often. It feels like my "reward" for all my hard work is just having the speed of my metabolic conveyor belt increased. I like to think I eat pretty well, I eat oatmeal for breakfast every other day and I tend to go for meat/salad/carb combo for lunch and dinner. But as I lost weight my appetite went up and it resulted in me hitting the comfort eating a little hard. I'm gonna try to exercise more but I have IBS and the constant pain of bloating and intestinal sensitivity makes it hard to really do anything.

At this point, you fruitcakes should take your gloves off and post eachother's "glutes".

Is /cb/ not a better board for discussing this, anons? >>339 This sounds like something you need to talk to your doctor about, but don't worry about the regaining weight thing that's unfortunately very common with people who lose a lot, it usually means however you lost it all was unsustainable

>>339 >IBS Do you take cortisol medication for it? If so that's your answer, cortisol is every 'fuck you' inside a tiny little pill that also tastes like absolute fuck.

>>338 Your (2) posts are enlightening to your faggot obsession. Why does exercise and fitness always bring in faggots?

>>342 I don't take any medication for it.

>>339 Never had that problem myself, even when I was eating like a pig 10+ years ago I was only slightly overweight and lost it all quickly after I dropped potato chips, but I do know some pointers. Maybe you should talk to a doctor. Otherwise, try fasting, I heard good things about that done in moderation. Also know that there's no such thing as self-control. Treat it as if it doesn't exist, forget it, call any anon who says shit like "you should control yourself" a gay faggot. The truly terrible trick, the senseless secret to not being tempted by a bag of chips in your house is to not have a bag of chips in your house. If it's there, you will ultimately relent, maybe because you feel like eating it, maybe even to reward yourself for not being tempted - I am so good at resisting the chips, so why not eat some? Your mind will find a fucking reason to justify making a mistake. That's how it is. Also know one very important thing that might clash with the previous, minor "mistakes" don't matter enough to panic over when it's about a diet, but you have to know enough is enough. If you finally relent once and then panic that it was all for nothing, you will feel as if you've accomplished nothing and you will psychologically feel inclined to make more mistakes. "I ate a bag of chips, my diet failed. Going to buy more bags" is an even bigger mistake, turning a single error into an avalanche of issues that ruin the whole scheme. It's far better not to make the mistake in the first place, so do not have the thing that tempts you within reach, avoid the parts of the market that have the things you usually get tempted by. >>338 Haha yeah I guess maybe that's the sort of thing I actually need

>>343 It's easy, it puts people in a better mood and allows us to more comfortable appreciate each others bodies without being self conscious due to weight problems.

>>339 Exercise does little for weight loss. What doesn't compute is that because you were hungry you decided to eat "comfort food". When you're hungry how about you just eat normal food, retard. There are a lot of methods one can take to consistent weight loss with various fasting strategies. You could do one small meal a day once a week, or you could not eat for 30 hours once a week, or once every two weeks. Then on normal days eat whenever you feel like it but don't eat fucking "comfort food". Or you could do 18/6 fasting where you only have a 6 hour eating window and you pack it with good healthy food. Some form of fasting is the key. You'll have to experiment. If you fuck up and eat like shit one day you could always do a long fast somewhere in the week to makeup for it. But the key is when you do eat to just never eat shit food like a retard. Have a bowl of shreddies cereal, drink a scoop of protein. I've noticed that protein powder is very filling. Protein in general is filling, try to maximize protein intake. It's good for weight loss.

>>341 They're nowhere near active enough >>343 At least I'm not a cuckchanner >>345 You should be able to get off easily doing it to yourself, shift your thighs together, rub your hips, writhe around and maybe moan if you feel like it, forget embarrassment and really get into it

>>339 TAKE THE WARIO PILL FERMENT DA GARLIC IN VINEGAR, DRINK THE JUICE, GOBBLE THE GARLIC, BE A MAN. FIX YOUR GUT MICROBE WITH THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK! APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, GARLIC, SUGAR AND L-ARGININE, YOUR LIVER WILL THANK YOU!! EXPEL YOUR YELLOW BILE FIX YOUR GUT AND TREAT YOUR IBS WITH THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK, WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!! WAAAAAAAAAAARIO!

>>349 I'd also recommend ginger. This root thingy is really nice, but I generally do not eat it, but to put it nicely cut and skinned in hottish tea to get its good effects without having to eat it. I like using honey, ginger, garlic, lemon. Not sure if any of that helps with losing weight, but I just like it. >>348 thanks for the suggestions anon though I usually already moan, but I could try doing more of those things

>>345 >>341 >>346 Thanks for the advice anons. I think my main problem is that in addition to IBS I suffer from generalized anxiety and agoraphobia, I never leave my house for fear of some sort of medical emergency happening to me, because my IBS constantly has me feeling like shit and my guts don't let me relax. I nervous-eat a lot too (eat too fast) because I tend to cosnciously stop breathing when I chew... for some reason. I think it's because I'm scared I'll inhale my food and it'll go down the wrong pipe and I'll die. My health worries me constantly, and I kind of suffer every day because of it. I'm terrified that if I don't lose weight soon I'll die the same death as Kentaro Miura and I don't want that to happen to me. Just the mere thought of it chills me to my core. My doctors tell me I don't have any major health problems but I want to lose weight as fast as I can. But I keep sliding backwards and don't know how to get past the plateau. >>349 Ferment garlic in apple cider vinegar with sugar and L-arginine, drink it and eat the garlic? What's the sugar for? Is it just for taste? And does L-arginine come in a powder form I can mix with this concoction or do I take it as a pill?

>>351 You could mix the arginine later when you consume the garlic, meaning you don't need to add it to ferment the concoction, the sugar keeps the garlic from turning green and aids the fermentation process. I use the BRAGG brand, and I mix agmatine sulfate, that one is important because it's what your liver produces, but for some people it doesn't produce enough, meaning your body won't be able to properly use bile salts when it comes to digestion. Of course, I'm not a doctor but my body produces too much yellow bile and I am able to expel it with that formula. Are you diagnosed for OCD? I used to worry about being persecuted or hurt in public, I was diagnosed as BPD a few days ago after years of struggling, but similar symptoms can also overlap with disorders like OCD and Schizophrenia

>>351 Also the brands I use for arginine and agmatine sulfate are bulksupplements, it's really good for getting your tolerance for alcohol and thc back, but it does much more than that

>>348 Neither am I. So I guess that just leaves you as a giant raging faggot who does not like frogs. You replace the lack of love in your heart for this guy with cock obsession, but don't worry, friend, you can still get help, I have faith in you.

>>351 You need to deal with your mental health in tandem with your diet. Your brain has direct control over your guts and your guts have a shit load of nerves that can impact your brain as well. Notice I said tandem and not first. There is a growing body of research showing the links between unhealthy diets and mental health issues. As you eat better seek some kind of help four for your generalized anxiety and agoraphobia

>>351 >My health worries me constantly, and I kind of suffer every day because of it. I'm terrified that if I don't lose weight soon I'll die the same death as Kentaro Miura and I don't want that to happen to me. Just the mere thought of it chills me to my core. My doctors tell me I don't have any major health problems but I want to lose weight as fast as I can. But I keep sliding backwards and don't know how to get past the plateau. Just stop eating you want to lose weight, there's no fancy fix or trick to losing weight beyond just not eating since that's how insulin spikes work, just don't eat and you'll lose weight. Just don't be obese and you won't get the obvious heart problems.

>>356 Seconding this anon (and previous ones) with fasting. It's the autistic way to lose weight. Just get a watch even a regular non-smart watch. "6pm? Guess I'm done eating! Time to enjoy tea and cool crisp iced water!"

>>351 You're more likely to choke on your food while eating quickly and not breathing than if you take the time to chew properly. You're going to create the future you fear. You need to manage your IBS with dietary changes. I have no knowledge of how this works beyond identifying foods that cause inflammation for you. Maybe talk to a doctor? Once you get the type of food you eat squared, the way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories. Look for low-calorie alternatives to things you eat (that don't cause IBS issues) and if you cannot substitute then you should cut back. I lose weight eating deep fried garbage food. But it's homecooked, so I control the salt content, and I don't eat a lot of it. Fasting intermittently can help control hunger urges if that's a problem but anyone who tells you it's going to improve things beyond calorie in calorie out is delusional. Eating 2000 kilocalories in one meal versus the same amount and nutrients across three meals will make no meaningul difference, but some people cannot help but stuff their face every few hours unless they set rules.

>>322 Quality post.

>>249 If you search for: "yoga ball office chair benefits" you can find plenty of videos talking about it. However, like this video, the short answer seems to be: "no, it does not help". https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W3NCOJde29c

>>256 >(I do not mean eating your own cum for the record) then how do you keep your navy recycled?

>>293 I drink about 2.5 litres a day of it, no water. I seriously am getting my shit together though, I've cut out snacks and booze, now I just need to eat right and reluctantly exercise.

meal prep recipes? I got this from here and actually came out not half bad.

>>351 >IBS I feel you anon. Feels like a gut wrenching and poop wanting to escape your body in even the slightest of situations. And it always hits in worst of situations. I heard drinking some herbal stuff daily can help for general constipation.

>>365 I heard putting someone elses poop in your butt helps

>>366 I also heard not being a nigger helps, but am afraid that's not an option for you. Besides poop transplant is for the gut bacteria cultivation, when you don't have enough good bacteria for digestion

>>367 I was trying to help, but I guess you couldn't see that from your literal butthurt.

>>368 No worries, I wanted to call someone a nigger and you happened by. You did help me find some results on fecal transplant on IBS, results are 50-50. There are some cases where poop cultivation actually works, might have to look into it.

>>230 does squatting actually result in this? I don't want this

>>370 >he doesn't want to be dummy thicc

>>370 It is if you do nothing but squats combined with a fat heavy diet, which is what would happen if you did SS + GOMAD

>>370 No. People grossly overestimate what working out does to your body when you're lifting naturally. It's the same retarded logic that women use when they say they don't want to do upper body exercise because they think they'll suddenly look like a body builder when it would do basically nothing to them in reality. If your genetics haven't already made your quads and ass big just from day to day activities it's very unlikely you'll suddenly have massive thunder thighs and a huge ass. The overwhelming majority of people will take a very long time to build any appreciable muscle mass.

>>363 You and me both brother. Started exercising seriously since last week.

>>374 Your waifu is cheering you on, and Jesus too if you're even slightly religious. On an unironic note, if you don't already have a wife or girlfriend, get a waifu. Seriously. Get merch of her too if you want. Get a poster, even. Dakimakura if you're especially devoted. Exercise enough so that you can feel pride in being her husbando.

>>373 >>372 >>371 So it's the anons that's eat only lard meat and squat without restrain that end up like this. I wonder why he kept going and not look at his ass getting deformed

>>371 perhaps he prefers them smart thick

I did jiu jitsu training for a good while, then hit a bit of a wall because all the other members of my club are hilariously more fit than I am. Now I have finally become the gym rat. Maybe I'll go back to martial arts after a while. I'll take any suggestions for abs and core, some faggot athletics trainer I saw on Jewtube was recommending exercises for "beginners" that I can barely perform. My former wrestling buddy says Russian twists are probably the best.

>>363 >>374 >got my shit together in every way but physical >started exercising calisthenics for a few months, gotten to the point where I just started to pull off unsupported handstands and building up towards one armed pullups >get severely ill >discover I have some chronic illness that can only be medicated and not fully cured >been going through the list of medicines for the past two years because nothing has worked so far thankfully the current one seems to be working >still in recovery but try a pullup just for old time's sake >can't even have my chin clear the bar Why are we here, just to suffer?

>>379 Think of it this way, if you didn't train before falling ill you'd be even worse off. Tangentially related, but I know a guy who OD'd on a speedball of drugs. He probably only survived because he was fit.

>>376 I mean his ass doesn't even look deformed. He's standing at this bizarre angle and just looks like he has strong quads. You can't even tell if his legs and ass actually look disproportional in that picture because of how shit it is. If someone remembers that picture of that freakish skinny fat soy dude with those massive hips that's the kind of weird dude that with a lot of exercise would probably still have an equally freakish looking physique. But he already had the genetics to look fucking retarded before lifting so it makes no difference. And as you said muscle doesn't just magically appear over night, you would very clearly notice yourself developing in ways you might not like well before it got to be a significant issue and could just chill on the squats. >>378 Ab exercises are difficult to recommend because a lot of them are really bad for your back. I just do planks and hanging leg raises on a pullup bar because I don't want to fuck up my back any more than it already is from sitting so much. >>379 What you can do initially after trying to bounce back really doesn't matter. Your body's muscle memory will bring back to where you used to be really quickly if you're eating enough. It's pretty difficult to just lose all your progress entirely and have to work back up from nothing.

>>381 I've heard that Russian twists are only bad for your back if you can feel it, and if you can just set your heels down and the problem goes away. But yes I have done some leg raises and some leg circles off a captain's chair. My strength is so poor that I'm not very good at hanging yet so the leg raises were particularly difficult.

is having yellowish piss bad? Reading online it just says its a sign of dehydration but I've always had yellow piss. Not a dark yellow or orange like some pics I've seen but a gentle paleish yellow

>>383 Pale yellow is fine, but drink more water anyways since water is always good

>>383 >Reading online it just says its a sign of dehydration In my practice when i drink piss making medicine to dehydrate myself the piss more eagerly turns clear, rather than yellow. But that's just how my liver works. Also same chemical that makes shit brown makes piss yellow. >Urobilin or urochrome is the chemical primarily responsible for the yellow color of urine. >Some of this remains in the large intestine, and its conversion to stercobilin gives feces their brown color

>>383 Certain medications or supplements will make your piss yellow. Taking anything like that?

>>384 >>385 >>386 Nothing like that, so I have nothing to worry about? I should just drink more water but then I piss more often and see the yellowness. >>363 Okay that's probably not healthy. I don't gte how some people drink entire bottles of it without getting bloated. Is it just an american thing?

>>387 What's your number on this scale anon?

>>294 Funny you should mention jews, as one of the leading causes for abandoning lard in food is because it's not kosher. Even olive oil was not widely consumed in ancient times, not even by the greeks who had such abundance of olives, except by jews who were forbidden from eating anything deemed not kosher. >>339 You have IBS because of bread, stop eating bread and you'll be amazed that it goes away. Also metabolic syndrome might be something you're suffering from as a result of too much carbs. >eat carbs >carbs become sugar overload >sugar causes insulin spike >insulin stores sugars in fat >cells don't get the sugar they expected >cells send signal that you're hungry >you eat more carbs >cycle repeats

>>388 My cum is a 6 on that scale. What's yours?

>>389 >metabolic syndrome might be something you're suffering from as a result of too much carbs. To add to that, any anon suffering from a mood disorder will also do better staying away from carbs, as they can trigger anxiety, irritability and anger. I spent my teenage years in a state of suffering because of blood sugar spikes and folate deficiency, on top of ADHD which caused fatigue, shit was NOT cash. I don't drink often because of this either, take care of your liver anons, or melancholia will set in. https://yewtu.be/nkLtnkZ99xM

>>391 >blood sugar spikes Actual spikes or just brief incursions into the 120-160 mg/dl zone before the Pancreas kicks in?

>>388 I get upto 4. Well, off to be a waternigga

>>391 >carbs cause anxiety how?

any ways to make this simpler/cheaper? chicken can be just not fried first and put chunks into the pot, its not like the skin really improves the taste. maybe mix some leftovers too.

>>395 You can't make it simpler without spending more for convenience (for example, pre-chopped veggies) and you can't make it cheaper without making more work for yourself (breaking down a whole chicken to save a few cents per pound). Chicken is the cheapest meat, rice is the cheapest carb, and carrots and onions are both dirt cheap and last longer than most vegetables. Peas and corn can be bought frozen or canned and are convenient to dump into dishes, so you should stock them anyways. You can save money by not including something, but then you're playing with the nutritional balance. I definitely wouldn't use those little shakers of spices. Not worth the price. Buy dried herbs separately and make your own mix. Follow a guide if you want a Provencal herb mixture. You could swap the broth for water to save a few bucks but if you use "bone broth" and not stock you'll get some more protein. Definitely do not skip browning. You can probably get away with cubing the chicken before dropping it in, and then just plopping other ingredients on top. You'll need to drop the onions before the chicken is done so they can all brown together. It might make the process more difficult so keep an eye on it. There's no way this is too expensive for you. If it's too much work, consider making an extra large portion so you get a week or two of meals. If it's too complex for you, I don't know what to tell you. It's a one pot meal, plus cutting board. Minimal work, minimal dishes. You could look at those "one sheet pan" meals you load up and stick in the oven, I guess. Maybe some of those have fewer steps. It's literally chopping three things and then adding stuff to a pot. Also, >>>/ck/ exists.

>>394 I don't know about complex carbs, but simple carbs like sugars can cause agitation in some people

>>397 There's little to no evidence to back that up, carbs are carbs.

>>398 Why are you in an argumentative position? It may not affect you but it may affect someone else with a different biochemistry, it's why low-carb and keto diets are reccomended for certain individuals, carbs are indeed carbs, but it's the people consuming said carbs that are affected, no need to argue on their behalf

>>396 >>396 Thanks for actual answer, are the spice shakers nutritionally bad or taste worse than real spices? How do you actually use dried spices?pls spoonfeed >bone broth I'll look into that. Even sounds manly as fuck. >ck exists and is dead, so is /fit/. But will post this video there.

>>388 >just peed a 6-7 AAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>401 Enjoy your kidney stones

>>402 I can't fucking help it, it seems every single day this week there's a new issue that shows up for the day and then disappears On friday I vomited my very light dinner of soup and an apple. On saturday it was a massive headache On sunday it was a lot of gases. On monday my knee hurt like a motherfucker and I could barely bend it On wednesday it was a skin rash Thursday and the following Friday I was okay And now I find myself pissing dark brown now and shitting water. I just can't recover from a chronic illness my body has to conspire to keep me perpetually fucking ill.

Why does the fitness community believe in so many myths and superstitions? Some of them are dangerous and get people killed.

>>403 how does that stop you from drinking water? >massive headache headaches are often from dehydration, drink more water >sunday it was a lot of gases go for a walk or something, that's a sign of inactivity >knee hurt like a motherfucker and I could barely bend it dunno your health or anything, it could be a lot of things >wednesday it was a skin rash again, I don't see how any of these affect your ability to drink water >thursday and friday I was okay then drink more water For shitting water, eat some more fiber in your diet, and go move around more, put some fruits and shit like bananas into your diet

>>404 People are retarded and there's money to be made pretending that you know what you're talking about, especially if you're a chiropractor claiming to be a doctor.

>>401 >>403 nigger this sounds serious how are you even functioning? Get a doctor and get checked, might be some parasite in your stomach

>>236 >>lean ground beef is that your local term for cow tipping?

>>404 Because when you have something that you partially understand and affects a large number of people, with lots of differing body types, and variables, many mindsets and have the capability to prove themselves, you'll have widely differing opinions and viewpoints many which can't be scientifically proven or disproven. Kinda like every other field except science and maths.

Anyone got some good experience with 'standing elbow to knee's? They seen to strengthen the entire lower core / "six pack".

>>400 >are the spice shakers nutritionally bad or taste worse than real spices? Spice shakers are "real" spices (albeit dried). My issue is the size and the waste of buying pre-made mixes. For example, the supermarket-sized shaker Soygusea uses probably costs anywhere from $5 to $15 and it fits in the palm of your hand. Spices aren't cheap, but buying these is just burning money. Pre-mixed spices are bad because they're just that: mixed for you. You can have all the individual spices by themselves and just add them together later. For example, Herbs de Provence usually consists of thyme, basil, fennel seed, rosemary, marjoram, and a few other elements. Now what if you're seasoning something and just want thyme? You're out of luck, because you can only add all of these spices in the mix or none of them. If you're going to use dried spices (and I do, because the alternative is constantly buying fresh or maintaining an herb garden) you're better off buying them in bulk from somewhere. The best locations might be ethnic markets, which often have spice bins you can up containers with, or your local warehouse store like Sam's or Costco, which will often have large containers of dried spices. But the absolute last thing you should do is buy pre-made mixes off the rack at your local supermarket. Get yourself all the common European spices dried, and maybe some garlic powder and chili powder. Buy whole black peppercorns (NOT in a grinder bottle, buy them whole and put them in your own grinder) and crack them fresh. If you want to maintain a little herb garden you can skip a lot of this and just pull what you need when you need it. >/ck/ is dead It's active irregularly and people lurk it, so while slow you may receive an answer. I lurk it myself, I just no longer post recipes regularly.

>>403 >massive headaches More often than not I get this from a lack of salt in my diet. Same with muscle cramps, feeling very hot but unable to sweat, not being able to piss all day, down a little bit of salt quick and suddenly all those problems goes away.

>>370 You would have to be intentionally going for that to build that much muscle mass, I could be a mass retard who doesn't remember the science but your muscles get denser before they get appreciably larger. You either have to be juicing or training like a motherfucker to quickly gain any kind of real mass.

>>413 That's strange, of salt fixes that immediately it's more of a reflex your body is doing. Mineral defienvy doesn't go away in a pinch. >feeling very hot but unable to sweat, not being able to piss all day you sure this isn't lack of water? Because salt makes you salivate a lot, giving you a feel of excess water, which your body reacts to well.

>>414 I think that faggot really thought squat = strength and went overboard in bulking gains. Even running and squatting together would prevent that dumpt ruck forming

>>415 I should say it's not immediate relief, it takes some minutes but it's been more effective than even taking aspirin. I do drink plenty, so when I haven't pissed for 6-8 hours that should indicate another issue. Having that imbalance of electrolyes causes a lot of issues, and just drinking more water doesn't replenish the minerals responsible for balancing fluids in the body.

>>417 oh boy, salt fixing things, plenty water, haven't pissed for 6-8 hours - could it be a kidney/absorption issue. Not a doctor obviously.

>>417 >>411 no personal experience but found a video

>>412 >>396 >>395 Chicken with rice is simple, you can just do them separately to get more control over both. Cook chicken (cut it into pieces while raw or brown the skin then cut it doesn't matter). You can just boil rice and then cook it with veggies+spices like a chinese fried rice too. Then mix the together. Every man who wants to fit should be in control of the food he makes, the food he eats. Then he can control how the food is metabolized.

>>395 chicken fried rice japanese style. You can't get the restaurent flavour without using the specific sauces and msg salts but the homemade stuff is still better than anything. This one needs rice cooked beforehand but as you can see you can make it very much easily

>>421 >japanese fried rice >not Chinese Ishiggy what's the difference between them anyways?

>>422 2016-2017 years featured a story about plastic rice from china and guides to identify plastic rice from real rice. Later even the idea about plastic rice coming from china became reddit's "fake news" debunk story. Its especially hard to find after covid.

So what exercises have you done today? For some reason, I can only motivate myself to do legs, despite how much I hurt the days after. Anything else I just can't really get motivated for, but legs I always somehow manage.

>>424 gonna go on an exercise bike rn

>>424 nothing my back and shoulder feels sore after some basic ass pullups, which I don't think is normal gonna work on my form first

>>426 Try some other exercises. If your upper body is sore, do some core or lower body. It's also not unusual to be sore if you're just starting out. When I first started doing squats, my legs were sore for days afterwards just for doing squats. Now I can do 50 squats with weights and my legs only feel tired. All that said, don't neglect form. If you feel pain doing the exercise, fix your form.

>>427 Im just going with cardio and trying to get the muscles loose enough. Boy, cardio gets you tired quick, didn't felt like just doing simple steps could get you worked up

>>427 >>424 are these correct?

>>429 They all look to say the same thing, so probably. The last one looks the most important. See how he's not letting his shoulders (for lack of a better word) collapse? He's using his back muscles to hold himself up, not just hanging there. That'll be step one in the first image. Also important is hand position, as shown in steps 2 through 4 in the first image (step 1 is a poor image for it). You can find videos on proper form for pull ups that'll explain everything better than some idiot on an image board. I wanna get a squat rack for pull ups but I've got nowhere to put it.

>>430 >>429 Lol anyone recommending not locking out on a pull-up or chin-up has clearly never performed the exercise before. You will fail earlier locking out every time because there's a longer range of motion. When roided out degenerates refuse to lockout they get underdeveloped tendons and their fucking muscles detach from the bone on heavy sets.

>>431 >When roided out degenerates refuse to lockout they get underdeveloped tendons and their fucking muscles detach from the bone on heavy sets. What does that mean?

>>432 https://invidious.dhusch.de/watch?v=pZgxkE-2QAw Usually only happens to roid monkeys, like most injuries.

>>433 Damn, how does that shit happen? do their actual muscle gets ripped out the socket?

>>434 The actuating part of your musculoskeletal system is a combination of muscles, ligaments, tendons (and probably some other stuff). Part of exercising is strengthening all of these parts. If you take steroids, you end up with strong muscles, but the rest of the parts are comparatively weak. The muscles can take the load but the parts connecting the muscles to the bones can't and end up snapping/tearing/disconnecting in some manner. Hence f26dfd statement that it usually only happens to roid monkeys.

Stretching basics - https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/multimedia/stretching/sls-20076840

Have you done your stretches today? Plenty of routines on jewtube. If you're sore and don't want to exercise, do some stretches instead.

>>437 no

>>438 'least you're doing something I hope.

>>438 can this fatass even wipe his ass?

>>441 how much is 5000 calories per day? If he could burn that much daily don't know what the problem is

>>442 >how much is 5000 calories per day? A lot. Insane for anybody who isn't a bodybuilder or strongman. You gain about a pound per 3000 excess kilocalories, even being generous and assuming his BMR was very high at around 2300, his normal daily activity totaled 700 and he did some intense workout which add another 1200 to that, he would still be gaining roughly roughly 2 pounds a week.

>>443 And this guy probably didn't realize this after gaining 10, 20 even 30 pounds. And then he comes blaming fit meme ruined him. How do count calories effectively when trying to bulk up? By your calculation about 3500cals per day is good?

>>444 It really depends on your height, your starting weight, your body fat, your muscle, your BMR, your BMI, how intensely you're training and how often, and a ton of other factors. If you want to bulk, eat slightly above what you're already eating. Or just eat a bunch for a brief time to gain some weight. You don't really even need to bulk unless you already have some mass on you. Doing what anon did is going full retard. He developed a full blown eating disorder.

Remember to eat your zinc. 30mg per day has shown to significantly increase testosterone in the body.

>>446 Is that about as much as you'd get out of a zinc food supplement? I've been cooking with coconut oil to help that out, but otherwise I don't think my diet has that much. The diet being yogurt, nuts, apples, bananas, milk, pork/chicken/lamb, wheats, rice, spinach, broccoli.

>>447 coconut oil has zinc in it?

>>447 Meat contains zinc, beef contains a lot of zinc, beef shouldn't be a problem for you unless you are a smelly fucking pajeet.

>>449 I don't know why threads like this attract such hostile schizo-ish posts. The best food for zinc are oysters. They have by far the most zinc of any common food. If you don't live near an ocean or places with a seafood culture, lamb is also good, having more zinc than beef. Pumpkin seeds are another good choice, having about as much zinc as beef.

>>450 >mentioning that beef should be fine unless he's from a culture that punishes beef consumption with death is "schizo" posting

>>451 he's just saying oysters, lamb, pumpkin seeds are better than beef specifically for zinc, but that faggot calls you schizo posting and you both got your panties twisted. Beef, oysters, lamb, pumpkin seeds are all good for zinc. What I haven't got an answer for is coconut oil

>>442 You can't burn that much in a day, usually. Assume you burn 1500 as a baseline each day and another 100 for every mile you walk or run. I like to use walking as a guide because anyone can do it for hours and it burns a lot of calories relative to how hard it is to keep doing. So you're talking about walking 30 miles, which will probably take you 10 hours. Or you can jog them to speed it up. So I guess if you want to go trail running for a few hours each day, sure, 5000 is reasonable. For most people, you're gaining a pound of fat or more per day. He exceeds 11k on one of his days, though. And most people usually undercount calories.

>>454 >2nd one

>>455 Should've just said he would take her on a date anyways

>>444 >By your calculation about 3500cals per day is good? Lol no. You can gain muscle eating maintenance. Anyone that goes above a few hundred higher than their TDEE is either on steroids or a gluttonous retard. Your maintenance would only be 3500 calories if you were like 6'4 and running 5 miles a day.

>>456 I think anon made the right choice. The bitches couldn't have said it clearly "I want to go on a date with you" instead they had to play their mind games - as always. Anon was clearly too good for her anyways.

>>458 Bitches always play mind games, you're expecting women to act like men and be straightforward If you want the women, you have to be the man and dictate the terms and be aggressive

>>456 Anon that's expecting too much thought from fit

>>459 I'm personally tired of rejection. I could say everything right and there's still a possibility the woman is already "spoken for" or isn't interested in me or thinks I'm some predator. Plus a woman who responds positively to aggressiveness is sort of a red flag already. I want a woman like myself, but the problem is a woman like myself is probably a NEET or stays inside. How am I expected to meet her when she's locked up in such a way? Only place I could think of meeting a likeminded woman is at a convention or an arcade; however the latter could start adding up in cost and the former is only once in a great while, maybe twice a year.

>>461 That's life anon, it sucks but you aren't gonna change it by being depressed We all wish we had a tomoko gf or some shit but that shit is very rare and also more likely to be maladjusted and shit Also convention thots are nuts more often than not; tbh women are usually also just not interested in most games men are into besides the "universal appeal" ones like pokemon or minecraft You would have to dedicate a lot of your life to finding a good one of those if you care enough, it's possible, it's just that the odds are against you

>>461 stop being a bitch and stop being afraid of rejection, you'll have to meet loads of people you've no interest in and wade through them to find someone you are interested in

/fit/ has the best kind of autism

So this has become the 4chan embassy thread now?

>>465 Eh, I can at least understand /fit/ crossposting ever since 8/fit/ died a long time ago I used to use cuck/d/ back in 2015-16 back when the site's /d/ couldn't really get off the ground and all of the activity was over there (only cuckchan board I really used in the past 9 years), though it was just too shitty after a certain point and I stopped bothering

>>464 >3rd pic Guy did what he had to. When its clear as day your feelings are one-sided and youve spilled your guts, theres no way to rekindle the magic of friendship. He saved himself the effort of putting up a facade of friendliness when he was only doing it at first to get closer to the girl. >Why not just be friends with her? Things would remain awkward plus who needs female friends? They don't offer the same companionship as being with your bros. I really cant find any fault in his actions, I hope thats not just me.

>>465 Cope, seethe etc.

>>467 The only fault I can find, is that he could have acted much more courteous, instead of acting a bit like an emotional asshole, with stuff like leaving the table and lying that he was finished. I understand she wasn't interested in him, and there is no reason to pursue a friendship, and that is fine, yet they are still colleagues in the same firm, so it's better to have a somewhat decent workplace relationship, instead of going cold and risking office infighting, this is not highschool anymore. I would have accepted the lunch, talked with her a bit, explained that I am in search for a long-term relationship, that I am fine with the fact that she doesn't see me the same way, but that means I will need to spend more effort finding someone else, which means spending less time with her, and hope she also understands this and doesn't let this affect her. If necessary I would end this with a calculated hug. You could even make a slight joke, or an offhand remark, and ask her if she knows someone who is searching for a partner, but this depends on how well the discussion is going, and at what stage their friendship was, before the confession. Even if it's all one big lie, at the very least you will end up looking better and much more mature, to the rest of the work colleagues. If for some reason, during this talk she says that after thinking things over, she is willing to go on a date with you, then I might accept it, if not to form a relationship with her, then at the very least use it as a practice date, try things out and see how a girl reacts, so that when you have a date with another girl, you will know better what works and what doesn't.

>>470 >a bit like an emotional asshole Surprise surprise, it kinda fucking hurts to know that the person you really wanted, doesn't want you back. It may be shocking to know that men have feelings also. >much more mature Eh, no. If she was really crying she probably wanted him back and took terrible advice from one of her girlfriends to play hard to get. I've seen terrible advice from nosy insane cunts nearly ruin a budding relationship before. Being honest is always the more mature choice, what you described is platitudes for the sake of making yourself look good to a bunch of people who don't matter. Random bystanders. Easier to cry and get over it than go on for an unknown length of time pretending to be friends and constantly being reminded that "I am the person who crushed this guy's dream" or "this is the bitch who I thought was into me."

>>469 Doesn't work or else mark would be a bodybuilder by now, he's got that fat retard jewcyma grindset.

>>471 >Easier to cry and get over it than go on for an unknown length of time pretending to be friends and constantly being reminded that "I am the person who crushed this guy's dream" No, the latter is very easy. It makes her feel good. It's a major self-esteem boost.

>>471 >It may be shocking to know that men have feelings also. I know men have feeling, doesn't meant that getting controlled by them, is the right thing to do. The hamburger scene also happened a few days after the rejection, so he did have some time to calm down. >If she was really crying she probably wanted him back and took terrible advice from one of her girlfriends to play hard to get. If that is true, wouldn't you agree that it would have been the better choice to let the girl give him the hamburger and let her say what she has to say? The discussion was if the decisions anon made were the best or not. >making yourself look good to a bunch of people who don't matter I don't know what type of office, anon worked in, all I know from personal experience is that it's always better to look somewhat good to your work colleagues, as opposed to looking like a shut-in or an asshole. In the end it might be possible that one of those colleagues will become your manager, or you, yourself might become the manager, and in both cases it's better to have good relationships. Even if one of them leaves the office, maybe he will call you to tell you how much better it is at his other workplace, and put a recommendation for you as well if you want to leave. These weren't random bystanders from a street, these are people one interacts with on a daily basis and will most likely affect his work. >Easier to cry and get over it than go on for an unknown length of time pretending to be friends and constantly being reminded that "I am the person who crushed this guy's dream" or "this is the bitch who I thought was into me." Even if that is true, anon at that point in time had not gotten over her, since he was still controlled by bitter and resentment from getting rejected. If he truly had gotten over it, he would have accepted the burger, let her say what she has to say, then give her the speech I provided in my previous post.

>>471 just take a look at popular dating advice shows and you'll know they have poorest of experience and give advice to women with no experience. Kinda like pic related

>>474 I'm not saying I would have did what he did, I am merely saying it is a reasonable reaction especially if he has trouble opening up and has been thinking about it for months. >The discussion was if the decisions anon made were the best or not. Guess I missed that memo. I don't usually try to wonder if I made the best possible decision if I am in emotional turmoil because that is a good way to prolong said turmoil. >These weren't random bystanders from a street, these are people one interacts with on a daily basis and will most likely affect his work. Depends on his position. If he's a manager type he'll have to suck up to people on a regular basis, true. But if he's a product person or engineer then he can huddle down and focus on work. It is actually a common way that many men deal with a bad breakup or other emotional problems. Astute managers will be aware of that, as I have personally seen.

Does eating in smaller plates actually help in eating less or is just placebo?

>>500 Depends on who you ask, there are those who will say that it's better to eat one huge meal per day, and nothing else, to keep insulin low, and there are those who say it's better to eat six small meals per day, to keep the stomach always busy and that will somehow burn extra calories, and I guess to keep the stomach from expanding and stretching(for reference, when it's empty the stomach is almost the size of your fist, yet you can fit so much in it, because it stretches).

>>501 >one huge meal a day That's how you become a sumo wrestler, whoever said that's a way to lose weight was a fucking retard, or a genius trying to trick people into getting fatter.

>>502 For me it actually worked, though I had to combine it with a keto diet to eliminate the sensation of hunger. It's all about keeping low insulin levels, and a certain metabolism. While I am no longer on the diet, maybe as a consequence of that diet, my metabolism has changed, and now I regularly only eat once per day during noon, and a sweet snack at night(though that is more of a guilty pleasure), though it should be noted that before that I only ate twice per day, and that was because university was so hard and stressful that I not longer had time for three meals, and my body adapted to only two meals.

>>502 We need to go BIGGER

>>503 anon it sounds like you' were a fatass who's less of a fatass now. >university was so hard and stressful that I not longer had time for three meals you shouldn't take 40 credit in one sem and 80 for the next anon, a good routine 3 meal diet, no matter the quantity, is better to maintain your calories than 1 big meal a day. I'd get bloated for hours after meals and starving the rest of day if I did that

>>505 >anon it sounds like you' were a fatass who's less of a fatass now. I started at 75 kilos and 172 cm, and dropped to bellow 67kg(which I consider my normal weight), so at most I was going towards overweight, so I wasn't really a fatass. >you shouldn't take 40 credit in one sem and 80 for the next anon No, I was simply in one of the hardest universities in my country, in which many drop-out. >a good routine 3 meal diet I do not believe that anymore, at least not for me. In the end each person is different, but personally I would rather eat one or two meals per day.

The greater your weight, the lower your IQ, say scientists https://archive.ph/cnsb7 It is bad for your blood pressure, knocks years off your life and is a strain on your heart. Now scientists have discovered that gaining weight lowers your intelligence. >The findings follow last week's government figures that show Britain as the "fat man" of Europe, with nearly a quarter of adults and more than 14 per cent of children under 16 classified as obese. >The new five-year study of more than 2,200 adults claims to have found a link between obesity and the decline in a person's cognitive function. The research, conducted by French scientists, which is published in this month's Neurology journal, involved men and women aged between 32 and 62 taking four mental ability tests that were then repeated five years later. >The researchers found that people with a Body Mass Index – a measure of body fat – of 20 or less could recall 56 per cent of words in a vocabulary test, while those who were obese, with a BMI of 30 or higher, could remember only 44 per cent. >The fatter subjects also showed a higher rate of cognitive decline when they were retested five years later: their recall dropped to 37.5 per cent, whereas those with a healthy weight retained their level of recall. >According to British guidelines, a person with a BMI of between 18.5 and 25 is considered to be at an ideal weight, while 25 is overweight and 30 or more is regarded as clinically obese. >Dr Maxime Cournot, who headed the study, suggested that hormones secreted from fats could have a damaging effect on cerebral cells, resulting in decreased brain function. "Another explanation could be that since obesity is a widely known cardiovascular risk factor, due to the thickening and hardening of the blood vessels, that the same happens with the arteries in the brain," said Dr Cournot, an assistant professor in clinical epidemiology at Toulouse University Hospital. >Dr David Haslam, the clinical director of the National Obesity Forum, said the research was alarming. "It goes to show obesity affects every single organ in the human body," said Dr Haslam. <But Ann Widdecombe, the former Tory minister, said that the research seemed unsustainable. "You just need to look around the world and you will see hundreds of thin nitwits and clever fat people," said Ms Widdecombe, who lost two stone when taking part in the television show Celebrity Fit Club. <"When I lost weight it was my waistline that improved, not my cerebellum." It's an old study, but there is plenty information out there that obesity activists don't want you to know.

>>507 >The greater your weight, the lower your IQ, say scientists If that's true then why haven't all those starving Africans unironically created Wakanda by now?

>>508 Skeletonfags BTFO

>>507 Is it not also more likely for fats to be sitting around staring at stupid shit on the internet all day? Not that you shouldn't be losing your jelly rolls asap but there's probably more to this than weight.

>>508 Can you name me one famous/renowned scientist who is obese?

>>511 George Berkeley, Benjamin Franklin, John Conway, Von Nuemann....that's all I can think of Most "brilliant minds" throughout history weren't necessarily fit or even lean, but very few were what we'd call obese or fat.

>>510 Yeah, the fastest indicator of a hedonist is weight.

>>511 No but to be fair I couldn't name one that was particularly muscular and fit either. When I think "scientist" I think skinny fat. Like they aren't obese but they still have a gut and wobbly worm arms.

>>512 GK Chesterton was a big fella

>>500 >smaller plates Anon if you're determined enough to eat you're just going to go back for seconds with the smaller plate. >>491 Caffeine is considered a diuretic, so perhaps the stiffness is because you're dehydrating and need more electrolytes. Numbness in the mouth is one I never heard of though, I have pain which I guess is either because my teeth are already fucked or I'm having a heart attack.

Fuck each and every single form of immune-related diseases. Especially the ones that fuck with your digestive system. That is all.

>>515 For you.

>>365 I don't have that kind of IBS. Well, sort of. My IBS mostly keeps me bloated and tense. It also makes it feel like there's a fire in my gut, which may be associated with my GERD. But as I said it seems to be associated with my anxiety. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because I'm a lonely autist who lives with his mom and don't drive. I'm too scared to go out of the house these days, and I don't have any reason to do so anyways, so I spend all my time in front of the computer (I've tried to do a bit of cardio for 30 minutes every day though.) >>349 Let me see if I have this right... >Ferment garlic in mixture of apple cider vinegar, sugar and L-arginine >Drink concotion, then eat the garlic inside it I want to be Wario pilled. I'll keep coming back to this. L-arginine is a powder supplement, right? Or is it a pill? >>357 I suppose I could try this fasting for the last meal, or at least replacing it with something light. I don't have a normal sleep schedule these days. The onset of cold weather and early darkness kinda fucked with my circadian rhythm. I go to bed around 6 or 7 AM (I know, NEET hours, I'm trying to fix this + my nerves by drinking chamomile tea and going to bed a bit earlier). I am fat but I don't think I eat that badly. I eat salads and chicken, eggs for breakfast, sometimes oatmeal. I think my problem is just too many calories in and not enough out, although I have been very slowly losing weight according to my scale, so I just need to keep at it. I dropped 6 pounds over the past week. Hopefully I can maintain that trend. I actually lost around 50 lbs last winter but I think I regained 20 over the summer. I'll keep doing what I'm doing. I want to be healthy.

>>519 L-Arginine is an amino acid, typically used as a supplement to promote protein development.

>>500 Eating slower is the way to go. I have always eaten slower than most and avoided becoming tubby even before I exercised because it allows my brain to catch up with how full I am before I overeat. I notice that I tend to eat less than most people.

>>519 Eating healthy doesn't make your body healthy. Plus most peoples understanding of what healthy food is is beyond fucked. My mother sits around telling me pasta is healthy every day. Meanwhile I actually sit down and count the calories in the meal and it's 1600 per bowl. Salads are a retard food. You're eating crunchy water and slapping all the calories into the dressing. Oatmeal is also easily ruined by putting brown sugar into it or too many fats with nuts or whatever the fuck. You need to measure and weigh your food so you stop tricking yourself into thinking you're eating an appropriate amount. The bane of the fat retard is convincing themselves that they are eating good food without every taking the time to count the calories in their food.

>>522 >Salads are a retard food. You're eating crunchy water and slapping all the calories into the dressing. I don't put dressing, I usually put lemon and salt. I'm trying to eat stuff with less fat. There are even certain kinds of dressing that supposedly aren't fucking terrible, but I haven't found them yet. I'm trying to eat what tastes good, just less of it. I notice all the fat bitches and soytards on tiktok try to eat like a rabbit for a week and then burn themselves out because they get sick of bland food. I think the idea is to just eat more filling meals with less calories over time. Salads with grilled chicken are tasty, I like them a lot. Oatmeal, granted, it has a lot of sugar, but I do pay attention to the calories on the label. Anyway, yesterday, I realized I didn't have any apple cider vinegar, so instead what I did was chop up some garlic and put it into this kombucha that I have sitting around. I didn't put any sugar into it though. Is that an okay substitution or should I really just go for the apple cider? I only have apple cider in pill form because my mom keeps all these supplements lying around. Today I'm fasting through lunch and trying not to overeat for dinner.

>>523 It isn't about bland or not. The point is that you should count calories regardless of what you're eating. Then optimize for foods you enjoy that can fit within maintenance calories for your target weight, then eat slightly less than maintenance.

>>524 2500 Calories of meat and veggies is healthier than 2000 Calories of candy and soda

>>523 >I notice all the fat bitches and soytards on tiktok try to eat like a rabbit for a week and then burn themselves out because they get sick of bland food I'm dating a fat bitch, I can tell you what she does is skips normal meals trying to lose weight, but then she snacks on junk food all day instead.

>>523 >the fat bitches and soytards on tiktok try to eat like a rabbit for a week you dont see them off camera drinking their mocha soy latte with 200% DV of added sugar

>>331 I have it, I thought it would a fun way to do some stretching while at home when the weather is shit so I set to full difficulty. By the end of the 1st level of the main campaign I had to limp towards my bathroom to get a shower. The main game does force you to do several disconnected exercises that don't feel like a proper set but they get you moving if you want to start out. Pretty good!

>>322 >wake up every hour because I stop breathing My sides

>>517 Back here to say I'm at 53kgs and I haven't had a non boiled meal, tasty, filling in five months and I've only just stopped vomiting days ago and off fluids a couple of days ago. Take care of your guts anons. I've only literally fucked up(and it wasn't even food related, I just dressed a bit lightly because I was sweating heavily in bed and that lead to a cold which lead to a second stomach infection) once to set me back months. I've been craving fat, milk and cheese for months now and just as I was getting back on my feet everything got fucked. Take care of yourselves anon. Again the last thing you want is anything fucking with your digestive system because you will genuinely hate yourself at wasting years of fitness exercise and live in misery at what you can and cannot eat until you recover.

Anyone have guides pertaining to sex drive? I'm currently unemployed so I get less exercise than before, I'm a bit of a lazy cunt, but I do miss the mindblowing messy orgasms I used to have when I went on nofap + holy cum grail kegel mode. Lifting helps, but I'm looking for an extra oomph. I want to have a hands free assgasms and would like tips, I know having a physique and breathing exercises helps a lot for that Yohimbine bark and edging helps a lot too, might buy those rhino pills and see if they do anything.

>nutrition If you’re a man, red meat and root vegetables. If you’re a woman, white meat and leafy vegetables. Fats (non saturated and non trans) are good for you, and so is cholesterol. Eat less sugar (this includes fruits). Eat less salt (makes you retain water). Moderate carbs relative to activity level (if you’re fat, you’re eating too much carbs relative to activity level). Butter and lard are healthier than vegetable oil. Heart disease is a meme, there is no causal link. Correlation ≠ causation. Cholesterol and fat are vital for brain health, that’s why they tell you to not eat them. Eat more onion, it’s good for testosterone. You’re not drinking enough water.

>>541 Does tuna count as red meat?

>>542 Fish don't count as a red meat, red meat is typically mammal flesh with some exceptions such as ostriches being red meat instead of white meat, and pork being generally considered a white meat instead of a red meat.

>>542 tuna is a good source of protein but you cant eat it everyday because of le mercury poisoning or some shit, once a week max

>>541 Oh and I forgot to mention. Adjust fibre intake around how often you take a dump. You should be pooping 4-6 times a week. If you poop less, you do not have enough fibre. If you poop more, you are eating too much fibre.

This has nothing to do with fitness directly, but taking magnesium chloride and zinc can reduce anxiety. There's times where I dread doing exercise and anxiety worsens my performance, so having your nervous system being calm is essential to having a good, destressing and refreshing workout.

>>227 My neighbor's dog has been waking me up super early after day light savings time change, so I've been using that as an excuse to go out and start doing the couch to 5k in the mornings. I'm through the second week so far, calves are recovering more quickly during the rest day now, but I've traded that out for shin splints. Plus, lots of rain recently, and it's making my running path slick. I was plenty happy bundling up and running in 21° F weather, but with rain, it's darker and it's only a matter of time before I slip on something.

ANONS HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING OUT I've been working out/eating healthy for 2 weeks straight now. I'll post my starting stats and i'll post again after a month, you anons better not leave me hanging and post yours. 4/2/2023 Height - 5"4, 161cm (for reference) Weight - 243lb Bodyfat % - 50% (got it taken at the gym) I'll post how much I can lift now but you can assume I'm not that strong at the moment. Basically was at rock bottom but things are going upward. Godspeed my friends.

>>548 >Height - 5"4, 161cm HAHAHAHAHAH MANLET FAGGOT! YOU'RE MY FLESHLIGHT NOW LITTLE MAN.

>>548 I started bodyweight/calisthenics training more than a month ago now and have consistently doing 3 full body work outs a week. It's been the most fun I've had exercising that isn't doing sports. I got a pull up bar and rings. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to travel to or spend money on a gym.

>>550 >>549 this is the age of the manlet. >>551 >I got a pull up bar and rings Nice anon, do you have a gymnast background or something? Those always seemed pretty intense.

>>552 >do you have a gymnast background Not at all. Rings are just really versatile and a lot nicer on joints as they rotate with movement. They're not really "better" than weights or anything. Whatever actually gets you doing exercise is the best thing and these have finally made strength training fun for me. Pic rel is a really cool move that I imagine I will likely never be able to do.

>>550 Gay

>>553 They give you some impressive arms.

I've been playing more OSRS and yesterday I decided to do 10 pushups after every slayer task so I can grow my body while I grow my character. I usually to about 8 to 10 tasks a day and I figured about 100 pushups a day was a good goal. Sounded easy, I figured that my body would rest enough to do another set while I was completing my slayer task. I was able to do 4 tasks and 40 pushups before my body just refused to do more. Not even half way to my goal. I refuse to give up and I refuse to cheat on my plan. My autistic brain need to see numbers go up and I will use that autism power to fuel my healthy lifestyle. I will get to 100 pushups a day and I will retain my daily slayer exp/h, even if it kills me. Zamorak give me strength, this is going to be a hell of a week.

>>556 Remember nofap

>>557 I'm about 4 days into nofap. I feel like I have more energy but that might just be psychosomatic. I also stopped drinking about two weeks ago so that might be helping. I want to try this god tier cum thing to see if I can replenish all the spunk I lost. Has anyone tried this before, does it work?

>>558 I have tried nofap for 6 months, the urge as strong in the 1st month but gradually it went away. However I felt zero difference when I was working out. It really seems more psychological, being more about self control

>>558 You better calm down with those cream loads anon, you pop two or three of those off you don't know what's going to happen, by the time SWAT get to you it might be too late You'll be in a holding facility smuggling cream loads wherever you can, no good

>>818298 Do you count calories? Fat is reduced when output > intake. Chances are you don't even realise how much calorie you take or how much you burn. You can't just eat the recommended shit without knowing how much calories worth you consume vs. how much you spend. Diet doesn't mean you consume less food, it means being conscious of how much you actually need.

>>818298 >I dieted to lose weight Also known as literally the only way to lose weight. Exercise does not burn a significant amount of calories. Your exercise to get stronger and healthier, not to lose weight. >How to unfat? Do as >>561 says and actually count your calories. Get a food scale and weigh every single thing you consume. Eat the exact same thing every single die. Calculate what you're consuming, read all the labels on everything you eat. What intuitively looks like a small amount of food could be 300 calories. Then you can think about how much it takes to burn 300 calories. Hint, it's like fucking hours of non-stop running. Not 30 minutes, HOURS of running to burn that same amount of food. Hate yourself and your body more than you want those 300 calories of useless garbage, then drink protein powder instead because that shit will completely fill your stomach for at least a little while. The only reason you're over 300lbs is because you don't hate yourself enough. It is absurdly easy to lose weight when you are that obese. There is clearly some dumb shit you're eating in excess constantly. If you were eating even a remotely barely sane diet that fat would be melting off of you even if you did nothing but sit there not moving. Also there's foods in that OP image that are fucking trash. Never eat pasta, pasta is pure empty useless trash calories. Cheese too, fuck cheese. Stop letting retards convince you calorically inefficient foods are healthy because they technically have things that are good for you. Protein per calorie is more important than just how much protein something has. count calories, every single one, weigh food, consume protein powder, eat less trash, hate yourself

>>562 >then drink protein powder instead because that shit will completely fill your stomach for at least a little while Protein powder can also fatten you up quickly, and unless you do heavy exercises I don't see the point of using it. If you want to fill your stomach, it's better to eat something like cabbage or salad, as that will quickly fill it for low calories. You know how much cabbage one would need to eat to get 300 calories? About 1.2 kilograms, so it's very hard to get fat on cabbage, unless you drench it in fat or something else, I am talking about raw cabbage, maybe with some salt. >inb4 stop letting retards convince you calorically inefficient foods are healthy because they technically have things that are good for you I am not saying to eat just cabbage, only that if you have food cravings, and want to fill your stomach with something, I'd say it's better to fill it with something like that, instead of water mixed with protein powder.

I want a big ass and thicker legs, how much should I eat, when should I eat? I'm gonna switch between keto for fat loss and carbs for big ass

>>563 >>562 Most importantly - don't get into meme food diets. Just follow the standard protein-carbs-fats cycle. Yes it will take time but you'll have a chance of sustaining the weight loss rather than regaining everything back when you have actual food

>>565 Meme diets can work if you know exactly what you are doing and are informed of the pros and cons. It's why I used keto combined with OMAD to loose weight and not get sick like other people who tired it.

>>818341 >is a high FODMAP food Searching around the internet a bit, it seems that both green and red cabbage are actually a low FODMAP food. Well if you want something better, you can make a salad, with low fodmap vegetables(bell pepper, tomato, lettuce cucumbers), squeeze some lemon juice, add some salt, and a spoon of olive oil. I like eating a lot of meat, but even I eat such a salad by itself to enjoy it's flavor, and not mix it with meats.

>>818341 Post pics and we'll see what you need

>>548 4/23/2023 Weight - 236lb Bodyfat % - 48.5% Gained about 2lb of muscle, lost around 7 pounds. Next measurement will be a month from now.

>>563 >Protein powder can also fatten you up quickly No it fucking won't. Protein powder is literally cutting food. There is no better way for you to get the most amount of protein with the least amount of calories. You're probably thinking of retarded "weight gainer" protein powders. >and unless you do heavy exercises I don't see the point of using it. Because you need protein and it's hard to get enough on a cut. And protein will satiate you better than any other source of food. >If you want to fill your stomach, it's better to eat something like cabbage or salad, as that will quickly fill it for low calories Eating water does not satiate fat fucks. Filling your stomach != satiation. >>818341 See, fat fucks won't eat cabbage. >I think the protein drink as a meal replacement sounds like a way better idea. If you think cabbage tastes like shit just wait until you realize how awful literally all protein powders taste. Still, it will be easier and faster to consume, as well as buy and store. But none of that shit matters. Protein powder, cabbage, keto, vegan, carnivore, it's all a meme. The only thing that matters is that you count your calories and weigh your fucking food.

>>571 Counting calories is a fucking meme, you need calories to burn calories, and literally every cell in your body needs energy, more than just muscles need calories, your organs need calories, your brain needs calories, the bacteria inside you needs calories and if you try losing weight but just cutting calories your metabolism will slow down in response to a calorie deficit. Achieving ketosis is the fastest way to start reducing body fat because a glucose deficit forces you to use the glucose already stored in fat cells, but you need to research what the fuck you're doing because the keto diet is a quick way to end up with sodium deficiency, the more body fat you lose the more sodium binds to the fats in excreta, and it causes a lot more than just dehydration. I've been on a keto diet for a year and working out sporadically, and reached a point where I'm not gaining any mass with my workout so I've had to start eating carbs again. High fat diet means high energy density, takes less to fill your gut and you stay full for a long time, to the point where you'll only need to eat once and fast the rest of the day.

>>572 >Counting calories is a fucking meme >eat once and fast the rest of the day You're a fucking meme.

>>573 Your mom is fucking a meme.

>>572 This might be the most retarded thing I've read all week. Thanks for the laugh. No fat fuck is going to do "well researched" meme diets. The reason you tell fat fucks to count their calories is because fat fucks have no concept of how dense in calories certain foods are. They just eat foods their parents or the internet told them are healthy, like pasta, and don't realize they just ate 1200 fucking calories of pasta, cheese, and oil. If the average obese retard can't manage to count their calories they aren't going to have the intellectual capacity to do your nigger brained heart failure diet.

>>575 There are benefits to keto, but you are right about one thing, if someone is too retarded or lazy to count calories, then they certainly won't count their macro and micro nutrients for a successful keto. As such, here is the most retard-proof diet for fat people who are too lazy to count their calories: "Whatever you like eating, you are not allowed to eat at all. Whatever you don't like eating, you can eat as much as you want.". So in the case of the anon, whose posts got deleted, it means that you can eat as much cabbage as you want. >nigger brained heart failure diet. Keto has been associated with better circulation and can be used to reduce heart attacks.

>>463 oh wow that's hilarious

>>576 Keto feels like one of those "too good to be true" type diets

>>571 Agreed, theres already a winning formula out there even if you don't consume protein powder. Just eat less calories. If you want to build muscle, you need protein. Its that simple, none of this cabbage bullshit.

>>578 It's major drawback is that if you don't know what you are doing, and most people don't, it's going to wreck your body and make you sick. It's so well known that the keto community call it the keto sickness, that usually appears because of a lack of Sodium, Potasium and Magnesium. Also keto does not necessarily mean healthy, as eating only fried bacon and butter is technically keto, but that just sends you to the hospital. The best way of viewing it is that it's very high fiber, high fat, medium protein and low carbs, meaning that you might need to eat more vegetables than vegans do. One last thing is that keto does not guarantee weight loss, as it's not about counting calories, but carbs so in theory you can even gain weight on keto, this is why, unless you know exactly what you are doing like I did it's not a good diet.

>>580 I dont really see the appeal of Keto since it feels like the fat burning could be achieved with maybe an extra month or two - if you're in a hurry then I can understand but I think most people will have the time to dedicate to a regular diet. It seems like you are always going to be irritated or tired since you're lacking carbs. Was that your experience?

>>548 I'm in week 6 of couch to 5k. I had to take a few extra rest days early on, first for my calves and then later for shin splints, but I'm recovering faster now and progressing without much issue now. So far, I'm really liking this plan, I'm definitely getting up into good running shape faster than when I did it on my own in the past. >>558 I've still got some of the bottles for each of those lying around, I should probably toss them. I didn't notice anything different with my cum, but maybe it was meant to be paired with some nofap (I was probably fapping once a day while I was trying it).

>>582 I forgot about this, I'll try it out also. I've just been using an exercise bike/walking my dog for cardio but it doesn't feel like im improving aerobic capacity. Nice progress, you're already almost there to week 9.

>>581 >I dont really see the appeal of Keto Well in theory at least, it won't reduce muscle mass when using this diet, it will regenerate your cells making you healthier, improves brain and heart, it will lower your appetite making OMAD(One Meal A Day) much easier to do, and Carbs are the Devil so it's good to declare Jihad on all carbohydrates except Fiber. Obviously when Jesus gave bread to the apostles it was a Keto Bread made out of Almond Flour, and not grain,and when he said that bread was his body, he meant ketons, it's just that this information was lost in translation, trust me. Hope you get that the last point was a joke. >Was that your experience? I have used it three times, and plan on using it soon after all the Easter food I ate. When I used the diet, I didn't feel any different from normal, but I also knew what I was doing, ate lots of vegetables, a handful of blackberries daily, and so on. To combat bad breath caused by Keto, I took keto-friendly tic-tacs, I already showered at least once per day, so body odor wasn't a problem. Never went on more than two months, and while I couldn't do OMAD, I did do one big meal, and a small snack after a few hours. Do I recommend this diet? If you are willing to document yourself, understand all the risks associated with it, plan on how to mitigate them and are willing to count your calories carbs, then sure. Are there better diets? Maybe, I also don't think there is a universal diet that works for everyone, this might be due to genetics, it might explain why the French have lived fine for centuries on a high fat diet, while the Japanese on a a high carb diet. Maybe it will do wonders for you, maybe it will make you sick, this is also part of the documentation you should do before attempting this diet. For me it worked great, but I don't think this will apply to everyone.

>>570 I know it's not a really a big opinion but the anime adaptations is garbage for popuko. Meanwhile the video skits and stuff that anime team comes up with themselves is golden and carries the whole thing

You ever got noticed by a gym girl?

>>586 Not that I noticed some fags tried to hit on me once though.

>>587 lol somehow fags in gym always get first

>>589 You either end up becoming a power bottom or you get a permanent spotter. Sometimes both

>>819047 If you don't get banned from that I'll be so fucking mad. Cause I get in trouble for posting shit like that all the damn time

>>548 Fuck it, lets go. I started dieting recently got get my weight down from 285 to 271. 4/27/23 Height - 5"11 Weight - 271 Body fat - 37% I used to do couch to 5k about seven years back and was able to get from 250 down to 200. I'm going to start again this weekend while going on a extreme diet and cutting out cheat days. Lets see how things turn out next month. I don't know what to do when it hits 110° in the summer.

I have a question, not sure if there's much research into it, but it first requires me to out myself as an immense faggot. I purchase and enjoy Gamer Supps. I've noticed it's a pretty good appetite suppressant and it lets me ease off a cup of coffee in the afternoon. But I haven't seen much on how healthy/unhealthy the stuff is. The ingredients seems straight forward enough, but their energy bars contain cricket protein, so I want to know if they're sneaking in any rank garbage. I mean, I'll still probably drink the stuff, I'd like to know how they're killing me.

>>226 I think the fats need to be updated. Dr. Eric Berg might be a (((Berg))), but his work seems solid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2_Jmd6mCUQ Avoid vegetable oil and seed oil like corn, soy, canola, cotton seed, peanut, sunflower, and safflower. Very inflammatory, 5% increase in daily calorie intake from these oils are like smoking 7 cigarettes a day. USE these instead: Olive oil (find proper olive oil, most are mixed with seed and vegetable oils.), lard, butter, ghee, tallow, or coconut oil

>>595 Don't forget the cup of vanilla extract, it's good for you! https://yewtu.be/falApGAB8Rc

I know more plates more dates made a video on g-fuel but take his insight with a grain of salt.

>>595 Anon that's a chiropractor calling himself a "doctor". Take every single one of his videos with a massive grain of salt. These kinds of frauds will usually be mostly right 70% of the time but get you killed 30% of the time since they are just professional bullshitters

>>598 He did use these as a source though. https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.e8707 https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i1246

>>599 I wish I could spank you, anon.

>>600 Why? The BMJ is reputable.
