I do this, and it worked pretty well. Certainly a lot better than doing some "natty program" where you never do anything productive and cope with the lack of gains because morons online told you that you can't train hard without gear.
With vidya, i can pretend to be a normalgay and say I don't play anything and move on.
I can really say I don't lift. I try to escape, saying I'm busy. But sometimes they catch me while I'm eating and it's over.
This. I work in IT and I'm visibly jacked (5'9 180lbs lean.)
Every fricking dude from 5'2 obese to 6'5 skelly needs to either tell me about his diet/workout or to make a snide remark about what I'm eating/wearing/about my surely insane schedule (I work out 3 times a week.)
I wear giant baggy t-shirts now and it's a bit better.
>snide remark about what I'm eating/wearing/about my surely insane schedule (I work out 3 times a week.)
This really ticks me off. People seem to think it requires huge effort to be healthy or looking good.
Coworkers and friends refused to believe I'd done nothing but a bit of fasting and at home workouts mostly consisting of burpees and some clubs/kettlebells and pullups when I saw a good tree or a door frame etc.

morons don't get that you can be in good shape by just working out a few days a week and having a decent diet, because they did it for a month and failed to keep up.
People think I'm a gym rat, but I'm just consistent. It's been 10 years since I regularly lift around 2 to 5 days a week, every week.
Don't worry about it and don't stress it, I've had only a few interactions regarding fitness, its not a big issue.
Though the only thing I'd recommend is that don't start fights with lard beasts or give them fitness/dieting advice unless they 100% ask you for it (and don't bother even then lol), not worth it for getting chewed out by HR-fatties.
My boss started intermediate fasting, is vegetarian and thinks he is super healthy. Meanwhile he looks like he is partying 5 times a week and has insomnia. How?
>started fasting
When a 300lb person "starts" eating healthy, they are still 300lbs the next day >looks like he is partying 5 times a week and has insomnia
we call that functional alcoholism
I was one, I looked like absolute shit even though I lifted daily and ate healthy, I would drink myself into oblivion each night and looked like an absolute disgusting human
>mention to the eternal fatty that her diet doesn't seem to be working
That was a mistake, just got so annoyed the fat cow always hypes up her dieting and eating nothing but lettuce but still just gets fatter every year.
I lost 37kgs in about two years.
But it was worth it seeing her expression and the faces of others in the room agreeing with me.
It's a zero sum game.
I just smile and nod politely. Anything else is just a waste of breath They're not going do do anything you do or say when they ask.
The ones who are willing to put some effort in will just get on with it quietly.

Work at a print shop, and am the only one who works out there. It is no help that nice customers will bring in treats for us, mostly the church people. I avoid most of it, but picrel is my weakness. Regardless, the amount of times I've heard overweight coworkers talk about how the suggested weight for height is too low and how someone is technically overweight but doesn't count because of X and Y is too much.
Luckily, nobody gives me guff for eating relatively healthy and working out. The really fat lady (has to be 300+ at under 5'6”) will make annoying comments. "Oh you're going to have a sugar rush cause you don't eat sugar often, teehee" and the likes. I don't think she's being malicious, but frick, it drives me up a wall.

Have you legitimately not heard some ~30-40 fat guy telling you about how much he benched in Highschool?
It happens so much its a meme, I overhead this fat guy trying to hit on a girl by telling her how fit he was like 15 years ago it was insane lmao.
I met this guy at a party recently and they were pretty fat. Me and some friends were having a pretty good conversation with him for over an hour. It was pretty chill. Somehow one of my friends mentions that I go to the gym. This fat guy starts chimping out and giving me lots of shit for it. It was a complete 180 mood change.
Around fatties never relax

You Black folk need to learn how to talk about your hobby. It won't kill you to be passionate about certain subjects
What's the big deal? I think it's amusing when co-workers are pulling shit out of their ass about fitness. I laugh and refuse to elaborate further than to look at their body when they ask "what's funny?". It's cute, like when a dog thinks it's people or women try to do math.
that's the smartest move. spare yourself
>people who never took PEDs start talking about PEDs
>people who take PEDs talking about supplements
>people who never took PEDs start copying the gym routines of people that take PEDs
Always fun to watch.
I do this, and it worked pretty well. Certainly a lot better than doing some "natty program" where you never do anything productive and cope with the lack of gains because morons online told you that you can't train hard without gear.
>inlaws family start to talk about health and nutrition again
>coworkers are fellow physical therapists so the conversations are actually good
Feels good
I was at a party a few weeks ago and the people started talking about working out and gaining muscles, yet none of them had any muscle to begin with.
Everybody wants to be big, but nobody wants to lift heavy ass weights.

What guys talk about working out and what guys make snide remarks? Im neet but gonna enter workforce soon

Also good on you for going to work.
Been a neet myself for many, many years and been working part-time and starting school soon.
Just stay positive.
This but when christians start talking about scripture

He is skinny fat and a non drinker. But he always looks really tired and has shitty skin (that's what I meant with "looks like partying").
Maybe his sleep quality is bad
Cocaine and whiskey are vegetarian.

This is me and I can't get weight
if you work in a blue-collar job you'll get a lot of one-upers who look like shit who think they have the athleticism of a trained athlete
There's always some shapeless mass curling 10s who claims he benched benched 315 for reps in highscool.
You guys always talk about this, but I've literally never met a single person who does this.
Have you legitimately not heard some ~30-40 fat guy telling you about how much he benched in Highschool?
It happens so much its a meme, I overhead this fat guy trying to hit on a girl by telling her how fit he was like 15 years ago it was insane lmao.
Yes, I legitimately have never heard that. The closest is my dad said he benched 200lbs for 10, but that's perfectly reasonable.
I met this guy at a party recently and they were pretty fat. Me and some friends were having a pretty good conversation with him for over an hour. It was pretty chill. Somehow one of my friends mentions that I go to the gym. This fat guy starts chimping out and giving me lots of shit for it. It was a complete 180 mood change.
