redpill me on why people struggle with losing weight? I was a fat slob last year and its practically all gone, 4 ish more months then I'll start seeing my abbs
>weightlift 3-4 days >cardio 4 days >IM fast >high protein >big calorie defecit(1400-1500 calories for nearly a year)
I literally went to the sticky last August, spent 10 mins reading and then I just started. The biggest issue by far has been resisting to snack at night but dude lmao just drink some water, 0 cal pepsi or just go to bed. I started with obese BMI, 3 months ago I entered normal BMI and in about 3-4 months ill be dead centre. I ate some tasty food, snacked and drank nice drinks, never felt like I was gona go crazy since Im eating shit.
The more fat I lose the less respect I have for fatsos. Are fatties just lazy retards? Why wasn't I a lazy retard?
>same calorie deficit for nearly a year LOL LMAO even Nice LARP faggot, pics with timestamp or fuck off.

I'm not joking, modern society is plagued with things that supply the reward chemicals your brain wants to soak in, without any of the actual rewards.
In a world of easy to access stimulation, actually achieving something is subconsciously seen as pointless in a lot of people, and that view is very hard to break. I'm talking fast food (hyperpalatable food) that supplies the loads fat and sugar that's rare to find in nature (that's why the brain rewards you finding them, but it's abundant here). I'm talking porn, and drugs. Plus we can also talk about socioeconomic factors, as cheap calories, poor living areas and whatnot.
Basically, this society sucks, and that's why people are unhealthy.
Why would I need to decrease the calories? 1400 was already too low for me anyways, pretty sure I can continue eating that much until I am literal skeleton.

Same here. Started as a skinny fat, stopped consuming bread, sugar and alcohol, ended up losing 15 kg in 3 months.

>redpill me on why people struggle with losing weight? They don't want to lose weight they want to weigh less, every single fatty knows to eat less, they just don't want to, they want instant weight loss to what they consider perfect weight for them
Luis Perez
That wasn't the point you retard. You claim to have read the OP yet you can't grasp the fact that such a large caloric deficit would net you fast gains for a total of three months tops. Then your metabolism adapts to your new caloric intake and you plateau. Why do you think even professionals start with smaller deficits that they move each 2-3 months?
Asher Taylor
>Then your metabolism adapts to your new caloric intake and you plateau. that's not a thing retarded faggot, metabolism only adapts to your current weight 1400 is low and you can go pretty fucking low in weight before that becomes your maintenance
Wyatt Peterson
Kek so your body can adapt to -1000 calories under maintance a day? Fuck off nigger

Good post.

>I was a fat slob last year and its practically all gone, 4 ish more months then I'll start seeing my abbs I used to think the same, you're just now reaching the hard part.

Many people don't have the self-control, but yes, the principle is not hard at all. Lost 100 lbs myself too...
That said, I wouldn't be so sure about those abs if you lost a lot of weight. At least my skin sucks hard and I'll never see them without a tummy tuck
Brody Richardson
Is there any science behind a "set point"? I've been 235 lbs or so since early high school and despite losing or gaining weight either way over the years I always drift back to that mark
Parker Cruz
Thanks. The thing is with so much disinformation on the internet (and IRL), it's hard to know what's good and what's bad. The best advice I can give is to experiment with evidenced info (like the Any Forums sticky), and to avoid heavily processed garbage (the GOYSLOP meme comes to mind).
I mean, I'm pretty sure every food group on Any Forums has been dismissed by one crowd or another at some point in time. Carbs, meat, supplements and others. I wonder if anyone has that post where an user listed the things people on here say no to.
also sekibanki is my favourite 2hu

some people have shitty genes. I was ok weight-wise (6ft 150lbs) for the first 28 years of my life, but I only ate during weekends and only drank coffee during week. When covid hit I started eating normally and got 50 lbs in six months. I lost 25lbs in the last few months, but I can't lose anything if I eat over 600 calories/day. I'm tired of fasting and I'm sad I'll have to keep fasting to keep my weight low afterwards. I can't live like this. I might end it all.

>eating more is genetics even tho previously those genetics didn't exist yeah, maybe u should
Grayson Gomez
More daily exertion. You're big you should be throwing your weight around with sports, hiking, and manual labor.
Jackson Peterson
read again I'm a 31 virgin, I only use a weight machine.

600 calories/day is insane, you body is trying to stop your diet and you need to give it a reset by eating a maintenance for a few months, maybe even longer.
key points for dieting: -diets should last 6-12 weeks, with 12 weeks already being a very serious+long diet. -aim to lose 0.5-1.0 percent of starting weight per week (2-4% per month) -don't attempt more than 10% total weight lost in one go, you need a maintenance phase to break up the diet into two smaller diets -maintenance phase lasts anywhere between 2/3 to 1.5 times the length of the diet phase
You can start off trying a 1:1 ratio of diet weeks to maintenance weeks. If the 2nd diet goes poorly, then you know you need more maintenance than a 1:1 ratio.

it's more like >body notices it has gone significantly below its old baseline >mitochondria become more efficient >thyroid hormones drop >hunger increases >increases in energy expenditure through deliberate exercise are compensated by increased lethargy when not exercising
