Why aren't you losing weight?
>>751635443
Because I'm not fat
>>751635443
Don't care.
>>751635443
Because I don't care. And I love food. And beer.
>>751635443
Because i spend 90% of my day looking at "Why aren't you losing weight?" Threads on 4chan and the other 10% fapping
I’m underweight. If I lost like 20 pounds I would probably die.
>>751635443
I have.
As soon as I quit my anti-depressants last year I lost like 2 stone (28 pounds).
Still got a beer belly, but I'm overcoming my alcohol problems and soon enough that'll go too.
I've always been skinny AS FUCK, but anti-depressants mixed with beer and whiskey and wine made me pile on a bunch.
>>751635443
Because I don't leave the house anyway. Food is the only thing next to TV shows and vidya that keeps me somewhat happy.
Because I don't have time or money
>>751635443
>be me
>lose 140lbs
>realize life still sucks
>get fat again
>>751635443
bc im gaining weight, duh
cant do both genius
>>751635443
but i am
I weight 125 kg last week, doing an excersize programm with no carbs
Lost 4 kG in a week an 2 cm at my breast and waist
>>751635443
Because I fell out of the male hierarchy years ago, no reason for me to lose weight.
I've actually lost 50 pounds in the last 9 months.
Have about 25 or so more to go.
>>751635443
I was 260 pounds then dropped to 170. Trying to get to Chad status now so I'm tacking on muscle and slowly creeping to 190.
>>751635443
I was skinny as a young kid. I started getting fat around 8. I got less fat around 19, but still couldn't take my shirt off. In my mid-20s, I hovered at a pretty lean 170-185lbs (at 5'11" and competitive in brazilian jiu-jitsu). In my early 30s I blimped up to 270lbs. Started a strict 1200 calorie per day diet (entirely of my own accord, no specific menu, just counted calories) 2 years ago, dropped to 155lbs in 1 year. Then increased my calories and lifting and got to 185lbs, trimmed to 170lbs. Then my mom died over the summer and I blew up to 195lbs. I'm hovering around 192lbs now and need to stop with all the fast food.
I'm 39 and my skin is probably totally ruined and will never improve. I've had bad stretch marks since my teens, to the point that people have thought I had scars. I hold fat around my waist and currently have a muffin top. All the medium-sized shirts I bought, to look good in the spring, are now unwearable because I have bulges over my belt.
I have tracked everything I have eaten for the past 2 years, even if I'm eating badly. I may do this for the rest of my life. I've also kept a daily log of my weight.
>>751637552
It sounds like you have a psychological related weight problem due to the fluctuation.
>>751637552
You have to have some good discipline in there to have been in competitive jiu-jitsu.
You could have yourself situated again in literally 4 to 6 weeks. Hit the gym, do low carb.....Just do it, man, I got your back /b/ro
>>751635443
cuz ill die
>>751637659
Okay... meaning what, exactly?
>>751637683
I've also had some career shit going on. Keeping multiple homes and no income for a while, really gambling on a certain position coming through. I've got an offer but we're still working out the details so things are still a little unstable.
I was thinking more like 10+ weeks, because I don't want to lose muscle. I'm about to go lift now.
I also need to gain about 20lbs of muscle, to look like Captain America. I'm always torn between losing fat and gaining muscle.
I'm also disappointed that even at 155lbs, the lowest in my adult life (possibly the lowest since I was a pre-teen), I still didn't have a flat stomach.
>>751638459
Fat Is an emotional Issue
>>751635443
I drink too much. Been hitting the gym since February, but I still take in more calories than I burn off. I have been seeing gains in my lifting though, so that's positive.
I am, currently 183cm/90kg
no excuses, fuck fat subhumans
Its everyones fault but my own
>>751638629
Your measurement system for clowns has no meaning here.
I'm 6'2". I was about 250 lbs back in March of this year, and I have dropped down to 220 lbs by simply exercising and trying to eat better. Last month also marked 2 years of being cigarette free. Belly fat has proven stubborn to remove though :(
>>751638459
For any fat fags, this was a typical menu for when I was recently holding at 170lbs.
50 - 1 cup (measured) of low sodium V8
90 - 1/2 cup (measured) of Friendship no salt added, 1% milk fat cottage cheese
90 - Yoplait Light yogurt, orange creme
60 - 1tbsp Nutiva ground chia seeds
270 - 2 servings of cinnamon Puffins (measured 3/4 cups each, 90 each) and 1 cup of skim milk (90)
30 - 1/2 cup chopped, roasted broccoli with extra virgin olive oil
57 - 1/22 Homemade Roasted Vegetables: 6 medium peppers (2 red, 2 orange, 2 yellow - 150), 2 bags Stop&Shop matchstick carrots (2*3*35=210), 3 large white onion (3*88=264), 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (120/tbsp = 360), 3 bulbs of garlic (4*3*15=180), 3 yellow squash (3*32=96) = 1260 total
182 - 3oz pan fried ground beef (85% lean)
120 - ~4oz of baked chicken breast
110 - 1/2 cup mixed Goya low sodium beans (black - 110 cal/serving, 1/2 cup serving, 3.5 servings; garbanzo - 120 cal/serving, 1/2 cup serving, 3.5 servings)
120 - ON Gold Standard 100% Whey, protein, double rich chocolate
90 - 1 cup (measured) of skim milk
225 - 2 tablespoons of creamy Jif peanut butter (190) on an unsalted Quaker rice cake (35)
70 - 1 Tate's Bake Shop chocolate chip cookie
70 - 1 Tate's Bake Shop chocolate chip cookie
That's 1634 calories, which is on the low side. I was usually a little over 1800. But, on gym days I'd add 500+.
I also walk most nights, 3-10 miles. 3 is really my minimum. I have done periods where I've made 10 my minimum (max was about 85 in one week). It's very rare I'll do 20+ in a day, but it has happened.
The walking is just to get out and change scenery. I'll listen to podcasts. But, you should assume something like 90 calories per mile if you are about my weight.
I don't do cardio regularly. I've tried real tabata intervals (on an ergocycle) and I've run up and down the stairs of my apartment buildings, and tried running outside (been good at it, the pose method helped).
This diet mayonaise isnt working no matter how many spoons of it I eat
>>751638542
No, it's behavioral.
Beyond that, it could be a matter of education, circumstances, etc. I had fat parents and a fat little brother. I was raised to be fat.
That's not to say I couldn't also have emotional issues.
Lost 40 pounds in 6 months. Still need to lose a around 60 for peak aesthetics
Pro tip : even fatties can succeed in deadlifting
>>751638459
Hopefully this thread will still be around when I get back...
>>751639344
I will try to keep it alive bro...
because i'm bulking for winter. I'm up to 206lbs from 195lb. Come Janurary I'll be on my way back down.
>>751639024
it's fun how you can't list out what you eat in a day without sounding like a complete chode.
i cut carbs again 3 months ago and i feel so much better
>>751639316
are you dense? fatties EXCEL at deadlifting. it's the exercise I introduce my fat friends to when they say they hate exercising because the first thing they think of is cardio (which is gay)
>>751639824
Do you know how to read? I'm clearly implying that i am fat and successful in deadlifting. I'm also a strong squatter. Feels great to have bulked for 18 years
>>751640215
How was the progress? care to elaborate?
>>751635443
I am. Been working out every morning and eating healthier, and I've started losing a lot of my belly fat and man tits. Still not 100% there but I'm working towards my goal.
>>751639652
I, for one, appreciate a detailed list of what a real menu looks like under calorie counting. Saying you have to keep your calories under a specific number without mentioning what to eat to accomplish that is kind of disappointing.
>>751635443
cause 71kg and ripped af
I can help losing weight is easy.
difwow2@gmail . com
>>751637712
would totally fuck the middle one
>>751635443
I don't know how. And why would I go to the gym as a fat fuck and be laughed at by chads?
>>751640971
Fuck chads
>>751640971
I think you should start with your diet. Gym? Maybe later.
>>751640971
That isn't what the gym is like. If anything people will encourage you.
I tend to be stuck around 200-220lbs. I lose weight then put it back on again. Though i never really make a real effort, all though I exercise 3 or 4 times a week I also sit around eating a lot. So it all kinda evens out.
Don't focus on weight, focus on health and things will come together.
tryna get sub 10 percent bf, gunna hop on some dnp
>>751635443
I have.. but more importantly my overall health has improved. I can run 5 miles in an hour with a bpm of 150.
I still eat burgers, pizza, etc.
I just don't eat them every day, or eat too much. Healthy lower calorie maintenance eating for a couple days, then exercise, and have a pizza after. Worked fine for me. I was 300lbs, and I got down to 185lbs with a little willpower and altering my habits.
>>751635443
The only reason to want to lose weight is to attract bitches.
I'm already too autistic to get bitches, so I'll just wallow in my own self pity, and eat myself into an early grave.
>>751635443
I'm down 20 pounds in 3 weeks.
Because I'm not fat.
I did just lose about 1-2 kg though, ate a lot on a trip abroad so I just stopped eating snacks and drinking soda for a week.
>>751642492
I've heard its not good to lose that much weight in that short of interval of time. Your metabolism get all fucked up and there is a higher chance of gaining it back. Best to lose 1-2 lbs per week
>>751643236
metabolism gets fucked up if you're losing more muscle than fat, i'm following a protein sparing modified fast that preserves muscle mass.
2 days water fast, 4 days PSMF 1 day eat at TDEE
Keep up the good work guys, if you haven't start do give some thought to it.
>>751639024
>>751640848
No problem, /b/ro.
When I did my 1200 calorie per day diet, I didn't care what I ate, just aimed for a target.
For an example of 1100 calories:
60 - V8 Golden Goodness
100 - Oatfit oatmeal, with flax seeds, maple & brown sugar
100 - banana
430 - Simply Asia spicy kung pao noodle bowl
280 - Smart Ones homestyle turkey breast (chunks, not slices) with stuffing
130 - Weight Watchers giant chocolate cookies and cream ice cream bar
There were plenty of days when I would eat candy or potato chips or whatever. But I would watch the portions and count the calories.
Even if you go over your target, don't get into the habit of lying to yourself about the calories. I notice people will purposely underestimate their calories, as if that will trick their body into dropping weight. Be honest with yourself.
Also, you can't burn off fat, you have to starve it off. A single donut can be 300+ calories, which would requires walking 3.5 miles (about an hour) or running 2.5 miles (if your fat ass can even do that). It's much more reasonable to just eat 500 calories fewer.
>>751635443
I'm trying to gain weight, I weigh like 60 kg
>>751640933
careful, looks like you caught teh ghey
aids is not a healthy method of weight loss
>>751635443
I should be but im not.
>ate an entire buckets of KFC chicken and fries today.
Shit was cash
>>751640933
Will it also turn you into a faggot?
>>751644626
>>751640971
>>751641199
>That isn't what the gym is like
You're right, it's not like that. Most people won't encourage you, none will insult you. People mind their own business, for the most part.
You should be lifting, to maintain muscle mass, while dieting.
When I dropped 120lbs on a 1200 calorie diet, I would lift a few times a week. I kept it brief and intense. I'd often just do one major exercise (deadlifts or power cleans mostly; powercleans are very advanced and dangerous), and maybe one or two others if anything else at all.
I still lost muscle, but I wasn't lifting while I was fat, so its hard to know how much I lost before the diet.
>>751642492
>>751643236
Depends. If you're 300lbs, dropping 20lbs in 3 weeks isn't unreasonable at all.
>>751642140
What this /b/ro said.
>>751644565
>Also, you can't burn off fat, you have to starve it off. A single donut can be 300+ calories, which would requires walking 3.5 miles (about an hour) or running 2.5 miles (if your fat ass can even do that). It's much more reasonable to just eat 500 calories fewer.
That's a pretty good perspective on things. I haven't been a huge soda drinker since I was a kid, but I would still have a couple per day, or an energy drink, for the caffeine boost and then strictly drink water the rest of the day. Well that's still 500+ calories. Ever since I started trying to trim down I have found green tea gives me the same caffeine for 0 calories.
>>751644762
I'm this guy
>>751638914
I still occasionally do shit like this (smoke a bunch of weed and drink heavy beer all night, then smash a large pizza), but will then counterbalance by eating less, and healthier, the next day, or exercising a little more. It usually has no affect on my weight.
>>751635443
because im 182cm and 68kg?
>>751635443
Don't fall for the 'eat less move more' bullshit. No, calories in don't equal calories out; humans are biochemical organisms, not high school physics questions.
Your metabolism will happily drop down to compensate for a reduced calorie diet, then stay there. On the other hand, your body will quite happily shit out calories it doesn't feel the need to keep.
No, the trick is to have your body not want to be fat, which is often caused by...too much goddamn insulin, leading to insulin resistance, leading to more goddamn insulin.
1) Eat as few concentrated sugars as possible. I hate the term 'refined carbohydrates;' it's meaningless to most people. Stop eating chocolate, drinking anything sugared, including perfectly natural fruit juice.
2) Do all your eating in an eight hour window, usually between noon and 8.
Do these two things, and you'll watch the pounds melt off and stay off. Eat all the calories you want, and more. Just make sure as few as possible are sugar, or sugar substitutes such as sucralose, asparatame, or stevia.
>>751645354
It feels good to spoil yourself occasionally
>>751635443
I'm trying to, it's just taking a long time.
>>751635443
because two spicies, two mcdoubles, large fries, and a soda tastes better than a shitty salad and its probably cheaper too
the patriarchy keeps adding sugar to every food i like
>>751645685
What about actual fruit? Isn't it riddled with sugar?
>>751635443
Why are you not losing blood?
>>751645892
Yes but its not in its simplest for thus making your body use more energy to break it down

Working on it. Don't have time or money for a gym pass, so I'm just starting with "how many pushups/situps can I do in the morning.
No strict schedule, just do as many pushups/situps as you can without stopping.no forcing yourself to work out until you're sick or anything like that.
Started at 10 pushups and 15 situps, currently at 53 pushups and 61 situps in the morning. That on top of less junky foods than usual (but not totally cutting them out. Love fruit rolls man) I've lost about 15 lbs. In the last month.
>>751645782
370×2+390×2+510+310 = 2340 calories in one sitting
>>751646079
Good on you anon
>>751644814
Thanks man. Think I'll just try the fasting and minimal carb shit till I shred this fat. Being a manlet with lovehandles and a preggo belly makes me self concious. Maybe I'll grow an ounce of t and go to the gym eventually.
good thread OP, I dont know whats stopping anons from going outside and at least jog to get the heart pumping.
I'm gonna buy myself a weight vest to further increase the calorie burning.
>>751635443
I'm lazy and now I have a GF who makes me eat like an average american.
>>751645685
Ugh, nonsense.
There is evidence of metabolic issues related to sugar and high fructose corn syrup and other substances.
That said, I personally dropped 120lbs by meticulously counting calories, while eating ice cream and drinking fruit juice.
It really is as simple as calories in and calories out. Anything beyond that and you may improve the results, but those improvments will get incrementally smaller. It's a game of diminishing returns. The first thing someone needs to do is to limit their caloric intake.
>>751645782
Salad is shit. I never eat it. I only started eating vegetables at all about a year ago (I'm pushing 40), and I still don't go near salad.
>>751646024
It's okay. He's just bitter and wishes he wasn't a fatty.
>>751646079
>>751646310
Get some kettlebells. Learn to use them properly. Form is crucial. Also, don't smash up your home.
>>751646364
>I'm gonna buy myself a weight vest to further increase the calorie burning.
That shit is pretty bad for your knees. I wouldn't recommend it.
Speaking of kettlebells. Do Turkish get ups. That's some fucking hardcore cardio.
>>751646411
That's a big part of how I blimped up.
>>751635443
Because I already did and more weight loss would be dangerous.
Because I have a shitty eating disorder that swaps between binge eating and starving so I never progress.
>>751635443
Because it's fucking hard. However, I have started walking (got a dog) which has helped alot.
I still smoke too much pot which gives me the munchies which dosen't help.
>>751647145
You're on the right track with walking
Do you drink a lot of soda?
Thin people are miserable too. I have a partner and I've bred. It doesn't matter if I'm fat.
>>751647845
You make a good point. I probably wouldn't be near as concerned if I had already secured a mate
>>751635443
Because I'm struggling to keep my weight. I lost 5KGs in 2 months and I'm not even trying.
I'm 68Kgs now and I'm 187cm
>>751640364
My starting weight waa 270. A friend of mind brought me to the gym and taught me how to deadliftI fell I love with lifting
A month later I started a 5x5 starting strength program. Which is basically squat, dl, bench, row, ohp.
4 months of that brought me to a
225 squat x 5, 250 orm
315 dl x 5, 350 orm
165 BP x 5, 185 orm
125 x 5 ohp, 135 orm
145 x 5 pendlay row, 155 orm
Ive been focusing on getting the chin up right now so I haven't been following the 5x5 as much
I can only do one legal chin up (im 220-230lbs) but I'm training for it using resistance bands
>>751635443
i am tho
>>751638629
youre overweight you stupid cunt
>>751637310
happened to me too.
now i found a job, earn a lot money and i am fat again.
money didnt fix things either. now trying to lose weight again and see if money + not being fat does the trick.
prolly still gonna suck.
>>751648801
Ok, so now in Murica language. I'm 6 feet, 1,5 inches and I weigh 150lbs. pls help
>>751650624
>1,5
>>751650624
So you're underweight and want to bulk?
>>751649637
Not being an awkward, autistic fuck is the solution. But, that's not an option.
I recommend an hero.
>>751650765
Yeah, or at least not be so screwny anymore. I used to weigh 85kgs / 187 lbs like 4 years ago.
But I'm a runner / jogger, so this creates denser muscles
>>751650711
what?
>>751651479
Which is it, 1 or 5?
>>751635443
because you love hating yourself more than working out.
>>751651762
You listen to linkin park I bet
>>751651812
actually made me chuckle
>>751635443
I am... Before it was a mix of denial, lack of motivation and zero dedication. Also finding lifting made it a lot more fun to train together with mma.
>>751651690
one point five = 1.5
like in between 1 and 2
>>751651406
>But I'm a runner / jogger, so this creates denser muscles
No, it atrophies muscle.
Knock off the excessive cardio. Eat more. It's that fucking simple, anon.
Lift heavy, too, if you want to look like a man.
Enjoy food. Taco Bell is great. Pizza (in NY or Italy, most other places make shit), Checkers, Shake Shack, Five Guys, Wayback Burgers, Chick-Fil-A, Arby's. Donuts, candy, potato chips (and related items), ice cream. Fucking eat. Don't be a pansy.
>>751635443
But I did I lost 12 kg in the last 6 months
>>751635443
Too lazy and enjoy junk food and soda too much.
>>751635443
Because I am not overweight and actually ripped af
>>751652182
I know. I was being pedantic since you were converting your measurements to units more of us would be familiar with, but forgot to use our notation for decimals (we use a period / full stop, not a comma; so 1.5 as opposed to 1,5). As far as your original question, I'm afraid I don't know enough about fitness or biology to help you, sorry for being a troll.
>>751652221
So excessive cardio is actually bad for you?
I've just started picking it up again after being too busy for a while. Being too busy --> forgetting to eat, sometimes only eat once a day.
I eat real healthy, which means no sugar or other sweet or fatty foods, except for fruits, vegetables, nuts.
When I'm busy, I try cook quickly, so I forget to eat meat, sometimes I don't eat meat for two weeks, because I simply don't think about it.
Therefore, i won't eat fast food.
I should go to the gym more often though, (and substitute rowing machines for running?)
>>751650624
>>751652651
See >>751652221
Or see >>751639024 and >>751644565 and increase (double) the portions.
>>751652741
How do I learn how to cook?
>>751635443
i am losing weight you fucking retard
>>751652937
I was forced how to cook when my girlfriend broke her foot. She couldn't cook for 6 weeks.
It's quite simple, go to the grocery store and pick out some vegetables that look good / healthy. cut them and boil them in water in a pot, or cut them and cook them in butter / vegetable oil.
Optional: accompany with meat (100g) or fish
Optional: accompany with carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes)
Don't boil or cook the vegetables for too long, or it'll be too mushy and the taste and vitamins will disappear. Google the name of the vegetable / potato / pasta or look at the packaging to see how long you should boil or cook it
>>751652741
>So excessive cardio is actually bad for you?
It can be. If you're having physical pains, it can be due to repetitive stress. if you're struggling to keep on weight, definitely cut back on cardio.
>I eat real healthy, which means no sugar or other sweet or fatty foods, except for fruits, vegetables, nuts.
I could tell you were this kind of vegan-ish fag, otherwise you wouldn't have trouble keeping on weight. Anyone who claims they can't gain weight is someone who generally doesn't get enjoyment from eating. "Healthy" food is not enjoyable.
>Therefore, i won't eat fast food.
Then you will lose out on enjoyment and will still have a hard time packing on pounds.
I'd also recommend Moe's (way better than that Chipotle garbage).
Being so anti fast food is kind of a dickish stance, by the way. Especially when you say some of your issues come from the time it takes to cook.
Eat meat, lots of it.
See >>751652840 and if you really want to go the "healthy" route, take the first (bigger) menu and increase portions by 50% to start off and see how that goes for you. Then start tweaking things from there.
currently on 2k a day cut...have 15 lbs to loose
>>751653201
>or cut them and cook them in butter / vegetable oil.
But on what temperature? It seems whenever I try to cook people leave out pertinent information like this and I somehow fuck it up
>>751637491
same here bro. It's hard losing it all...
>>751653205
I'm not a vegan fag, I love meat, but I just forget sometimes (I have ADHD), just like sometimes I forget to eat.
I love to prepare an entire chicken accompanied by vegetables and make a complete meal for my guests.
I forget to mention I also have a skin condition, so I drink about 3-5 Litres of water a day (at least a gallon a day)
Every now and then I eat turkish pizzas / kebab, fries. Especially when I'm out drinking beer with mates. (But when I drink beer, I mostly lose my appetite for 2 days or so afterwards)
I have lost 30 lbs since March of this year but it doesn't seem like I've lost much belly fat. How do I trim down my mud section and lose this guy? To lose the weight I have been walking and eating out less, eating more fruits and veges.
>>751652937
>>751653201
I recommend roasting vegetables. It's a bit less work and produces more edible results. I'll do two big, heaping trays of vegetables to get through a week. One mix of peppers, carrots, and onions and one tray of just broccoli.
Then I'll roast/bake a few pounds of chicken and pan fry a few pounds of ground beef.
From there, you just portion out servings and microwave them when you are ready to eat.
>vitamins will disappear
Not really. A little, but that's largely a myth. You'll still be just fine.
I think you are a little paranoid about food, /b/ro. You seem to fear meat and fast food and now you're overly worried about vitamins. Relax, think about taste and texture and try to enjoy food for a while. Have some fucking candy and cake and ice cream. Do it every day for a month.
>>751653395
I never remember. I look it up each time. Just go to Google. It's 2017, motherfucker.
>>751653540
>when I drink beer, I mostly lose my appetite for 2 days or so afterwards
Consider yourself fortunate for that. Both alcohol and pot give me severe munchies to where I can easily consume 1500calories in one sitting. Then when I wake up hung over a greasy burger and salty fries sounds bomb (I at least dont want soda after, only cold water)
>>751653395
>>751653395
Do you cook on gas stoves or electric?
It usually doesn't matter, but you have to be careful to not put the gas too high, or it will boil /cook too fast.
Boiling water = about 100 degrees Celsius or 212 Fahrenheit.
bubbles will appear in the water, turn down the gas a bit , so it will stay hot, but it won't bubble as much.
Same with cooking, if the butter / oil is too hot, it'll spat around everywhere, on your skin, on the wall/tiles everywhere. Besides, there's a good chance that if you will cook on too high gas, the food/ meat (Especially chicken/pork is dangerous if undercooked) will be undercooked / raw inside, while burnt / welldone on the outside.
A lot of things are learnt per trial and error, cooking is one of them.
>>751653591
Thanks. By roast do you mean over a fire or just in the oven? Or some special appliance?
>>751653929
you can buy a frying / grill pan for use on a gas stove, but you can also do it with hot air in the oven
>>751653882
Electric stove. Thanks for the advice >>751653645
Yeah good point
I mean I do use it but I could try harder and look elsewhere if my first result is my helpful
>>751654042
Thank you
>>751653591
I might be a bit paranoid about food, but I want to be healthy. Things like candy, cake and ice cream won't be beneficial (except for some weight gain.) I want to gain weight in a more healthy, natural way (like muscle or body fat w/o toxins)
Thanks for the advice, though. I should probably try to enjoy food more. Anyhow, it gives me an extra excuse to make some nice meals in the kitchen and eat them
What's the point? I've been slim, life wasn't better then

In the oven.
I had been blanching my broccoli for a while when I first started doing it. That was a really labor intensive process. Moving small batches into the put and then into ice water that I had to keep replenishing. It just didn't work for making large quantities.
Roasting, I chop that shit up and fill a pan while the oven preheats, drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil on top, throw on some seasoning, pop it into the oven, and go jerk off. Then, presto, it's done. Just shovel it into Tupperware and put it in the fridge.
The chopping can be time consuming. I had been buying multicolored peppers, but it takes minutes to do each one, and I'd do a half dozen at a time. Most supermarkets will offer freshly pre-cut vegetables, but I won't pay the inflated prices on principle. Someone pointed me to Trader Joe's, who has packages of frozen pepper strips. I'll buy store brand, cut carrots (I prefer the matchstick kind). Then all I have to cut up are two onions and a bulb or two of garlic (the garlic is still a pain in the ass).
Cutting up chicken breasts is also a hassle.

>Why aren't you losing weight?
Scientifically, you are working against some serious biochemistry when you try to lose weight. Many studies have shown that certain things can trigger animals to become fat. For instance, if you take genetically identical mice and split them into two groups, one group gets a fecal transplant from a fat mouse, the other gets fecal transplant from a skinny mouse, the first group gets fat and the 2nd group gets skinny even when both are on the same diet.
true story
>>751654416
Good that you recognize it. It's not toxic, insofar as everything is toxic. You really should give it a try.
Like I suggested, do it for a month.
I lived almost exclusively on shit from 7-11 for a couple years. You'll survive a month just fine.
At the end of that month, you can re-evaluate things. Maybe you'll find it enlightening.

protip: roast on aluminum foil with no baking sheet and there is literally no cleanup.
1) put foil on top of baking sheet
2) turn up the edges of the fail
3) put olive oil on the foil
4) put veggies on the foil
5) go to oven, side the foil off the baking sheet onto the rack
6) put baking sheet on counter until veggies are done
7) grab a corner of the foil - it won't be hot (weird, but true, it's like walking on hot coals - no heat capacity) and pull it onto the baking sheet
8) put veggies on plate
9) crunch up foil and throw away
10) put backing sheet back in cabinet because it's not dirty at all
11) mange
protip: you need the baking sheet to keep from dumping the veggies everywhere putting it in or taking it out but you don't need it to cook
protip: only grab a single layer of foil. it will be hot if you grab multi-layers

Because I eat too much, duh. Really hard to figure out.
> inb4 landwhale
I am around ~210lb, but I was also 120lb when I was depressed. Why do I eat so much? I always have too much stomach acid and basically eat. Back when I was depressed my stomach was hurting all day long and I barely ate anything, so I don't know, guess not-eating would not kill me. But I cannot imagine doing productive work and living life with being in pain all day long.

Good catch, anon.
I actually do use aluminum foil. The only thing is, I use pans that require two pieces of foil, and shit often leaks between them.
I also use baking sheets, but I tend to go with deeper pans and make a 6"-8" thick pile of veggies.
>>751655278
You might have acid reflux. Try Prilosec (it doesn't take effect immediately, you need to be taking it regularly for a while to get an effect). For short term relief, try Tums. I had acid reflux when I was fat. I forget, the line was either 230lbs or 250lbs, where if I was above I had it and below I didn't.
Also, you might have an ulcer or something.
In short, get checked out. Sounds abnormal and probably treatable. This shit tends to get worse if left untreated.
Fucked up story: My grandmother let her acid reflux go to the point that her esophagus had to be removed and replaced with a piece of intestine. After that, she had to go periodically to have rods shoved down her throat to stretch it out.
In the 90s, I guess this was still a new procedure, and new doctors wouldn't believe her when she told them what had been done, they'd insist on seeing x-rays or other confirmation.
>>751655353
Are you naked and tired from lifting earlier too?
>>751635443
Because I am 6'2" amd weigh 200 pounds so my BMI is in the healthy range?
>>751655778
I heard about refluxes, but it was basically just hunger all the time. I was kinda worried about getting an ulcer, but then again I was also just wanted to die so ...meh.
I reckon it's the coffee btw, what causes stomach acid. But there is the catch. If I don't drink coffee, I get more affected by weather changes, like some day my head would just hurt all day long. Since I drink coffee, that's gone.
So uhm... its' kind of a deadly circle. I also exercise (weight lifting, being active), but as any /fit/izen could tell you, it just makes you a fat guy with muscles. It does not remove the weight. You have to diet for that.
>>751655257
>>>751654855
>>fecal transplant
it's actually a medical thing
>>751656328
If it is the coffee, you should knock that shit off. If you're having issues coming off of caffeine, use another source for a while. The headaches should stop once you've been off of it for a while.
>>751655317
you're welcome!
we just had roast cauliflower with dinner last night using that method.
I used to love roast potatoes etc but hated cleaning up the roasting pan, even if foil was used. once I figured out the foil pan trick we have them all the time now.
one thing I forgot, salt and pepper the veggies before and/or after roasting. My wife doesn't do added salt so I don't cook that way, but it's damn tasty when you do.

I am the anon that went from 270lbs to 155lbs in a year on a 1200 calorie diet. Initially, I was doing 3-5lbs per week. It slowed down after a few months.
I hit a few plateaus. If I didn't see weight come off, I'd bump up my calories to like 1800 for maybe 3 days, then go back down and it would work again.

large sugar consumption definitely spikes your blood glucose levels, which makes your body produce high level of insulin. After years and years of this it will, eventually, form a resistance and lead to diabetus type II acquired.

You want to make a difference? Don't lose weight and put more on, the more you have the less people have to deal with themselves, no one wants to be fat, but some people can still stop others from getting worse. The more you eat and the less you share means you are doing the community a service, when you get down to it, they should be only eating crackers and oats as prescribed by Mormon prophet John Smith, the way the world should work is that you shouldn't have to change who you are or what you do and it should have to adapt to you, if they have a problem with it it's just because they are on their way into obscurity.

>>751652741
Yeah man. My fat ass got a job as a kid and went full etheopian. Like getting sick. I ate plenty but my job required heavy lifting and essentially sprints or jogging for 10 hours. Was hell. Once i bulked up some and switched off some of the running i was in the best shape of my life.

>>751649236
At 270lbs, I could manage a chin-up or two, pull-ups have always been harder for me. At a pretty athletic 170-185lbs, I could bang out a good 13-15 chin-ups, no idea on pull-ups. After losing most of the fat and hovering at 190lbs now, I get an easy 10 chin-ups and can force out 5 pull-ups. I don't train for it specifically, but I do assisted pull-ups from time to time.
I'd love to be able to ace the various special forces qualifications, just to say I can do it (at about age 40). That means a good 15-20 pull-ups in 60 seconds. The hardest part would be doing 1.5miles in about 8:30 (a 5:20 mile). Right now, I'm at a 9-10 minute mile, and really can't sustain that pace for the full mile anyway.

Dollar a piece my ass.
You tallfags have it made. You are allotted hundreds more calories per day to lose weight just for being taller it's not fair REEEEE
>>751663474
It doesn't happen every time. Sometimes the opposite actually but not because of the exercise. Done properly, as in not causing injury, exercise is always beneficial. End of
Also, ease up on caffeine if you're getting a lot. I feel way better and more stable after not drinking a pot or 2 of coffee a day.
>>751663369
Pretty much that. Besides, your goal weight and/or physique will change as you progress. Junk food is fine when accounted for, but like you said just not worth bothering with
>>751663251

I use MapMyWalk to track my pace and I have it call out every 30-60 seconds. No hills around. I'm pretty sure I'm just not built for it. Even as a skinny little kid, running for soccer (briefly) and gym class at school was horrible.
I'm not working on it very much.
Running up and down the stairs is fine by me. I live on the 5th floor in one building and the 6th in another. I can do 6 floors in about 30 seconds. And I can go up and down 5-10 times without stopping. Both buildings are only six stories, so I need to go back down which is the slow part (and hard on the knees). It does leave me super winded by the end.
I did 12 tire flips as part of today's work out. Along with leg presses supersetted with farmer's walks, heavy dumbell shoulder presses followed by a high volume set on the viking press, upright cable rows, shrugs supersetted with high pulls, and curls. My shoulders still feel exhausted, nearly 6 hours later.
