I finally did it, I am not a fatty anymore. Don't mind the scar, it was just a tumour. Here are my tips for all the fatties out there:
- Avoid all industrial sugar, white flour or other refined starches. No chocolate, no sweet pastries, no white bread or toast. This is how I started losing weight and lost 5 kg in the first month and a half.
- Avoid all highly processed foods. Buy fresh food and cook it yourself, fruit, vegetables, meat, dried pulses and buckwheat. If you buy processed food, it should be as little processed as possible, e.g. canned tuna or cod liver always in its own juice.
- Drink mainly water, otherwise unsweetened tea and coffee in the morning. Water should be self-explanatory and the caffeine in tea and coffee helps to suppress hunger and be more active. If you have access to other stimulants because of an ADHD diagnosis or the like, take them. Milk should be seen as a food and not a drink.
- DON'T EAT SO MUCH! That's the be-all and end-all! You need to eat a balanced diet to ensure your nutrient intake, but eat less. Memediets such as no-carbs and the like are only helpful because the calorie intake is reduced due to the limited choice of food. I have tried various diets myself and have noticed that none of them are particularly helpful. In general, however, an increased protein intake should be ensured and if carbohydrates are consumed, then from wholesome sources such as pulses, lentils, buckwheat and oatmeal.
- Sport and exercise are advisable, but not essential. It is more important to lead a more active life in general, not only because energy consumption is increased without conscious effort, but because being busy means you don't have time and boredom for unnecessary eating. For a while, I used to watch 8 hours of anime a day and was so busy staring that I hardly ate. Even though I was just sitting around, I still lost weight. When I started working, a job where I am always either standing or walking, I lost weight even faster.
- Skip meals. Try to go without food periodically throughout the day, for example, if you are working, try not to eat anything at work and only eat a normal portion at home.
- If there is a party or a birthday, eat normally, but without overeating. As long as you don't have 100 friends, which I doubt, and you go to four birthdays a month, it's okay to eat cake, sweets, greasy goose with dumplings and so on from time to time. It's far more demotivating if you can't act socially compliant.
- Be aware that this is a long-term dietary change and not a short-term diet. You can't go back to your old eating habits after losing weight and expect to maintain your weight, you will never eat the same again if you want to keep your shape.
- Weigh yourself every day, but be aware of natural weight fluctuations. The scale is your friend, it will show you what works and what doesn't, but you will notice if you eat salt or carbs for example after a long period of abstinence, you will see rapid weight gain. This is perfectly normal and not fat storage.
Hell's yeah anon! Good on u! thanks for the inspo and the good info
You're welcome! I think most people on IST are from the US so I don't know if you have it, but one of the best foods you can buy is Magerquark. It's cheap, has a lot of protein, little calories and fills you up
Magerquark is the best. But holy shit is it always a fight to eat a 500g tub of that stuff. Beats shitty protein powdwr tho.
I always put some milk in it because of the consistency it genuinely becomes hard to swallow. Mixing it with milk and oats as well makes it a nice meal
Tldr: eat less and healthy
Your post is the most basic nutrition knowledge everyone has who isn't a complete moron ((You))
Also start lifting you look like a failed troony
what a bitter and venomous post, people like you are ugly inside and out
keep it up
OP if that's truly you, good job! What was the most difficult point to integrate in your lifestyle?
Wow, no lose skin? Truly impressive. Thanks for the motivation and information.
A little bit of loose skin becomes apparent now, I think if I get more skinny it will become a little loose
I used too eat out of boredom. At first It was hard to stop and I had cravings, but now I never do it anymore. Took me a long time.
Post body
What has this board come to
Switch to Reddit you fricking snowflakes
you're trying too hard
>homosexual dyel won't post body
>calling others snowflakes
How does showing success make someone a snowflake?
It’s gonna be hardly noticeable. Even lean people have a bit of skin there.
I read somewhere that losing up to 45kg is still in the range of where the skin doesn't become flabby. With time and if I build muscle mass again it will hopefully stretch out again since it really is a little loose, even if I can only feel it with my hands but hardly see it
I see you have failed to post body while criticising another's progress, have you considered suicide you fricking troony?
cute tummy OP
>Sport and exercise are advisable, but not essential.
And this is why you lost all that weight only to look like a DYEL.
NGMI.
I just wanted to say that you normally can't outrun a burger. If your goal is to lose weight, you need to change your eating habits.
But yes, that's why I highly recommend to exercise as well
Imagine if you lifted consistently while you did all that weight loss. You'd be drowning in pussy instead wasting your time being made fun of on IST
He's okay. He just needs to focus on hypertrophy now
Dude, I was in the hospital for long while and afterwards I couldn't lift, I had to heal
He's right. If your sole goal is to lose weight you don't need a fit lifestyle, however without being fit you'll look ugly as a thin man
I don't think that thin men are necessarily ugly, some are quite cute
Nah man
Bone and skin isn't beautiful at all, a bit of muscle mass is necessary for impressive looks
That's right, I think a little definition makes the difference and you need at least some muscle for that. It only gets ugly when you have zero muscle but still a little fat.
I still want to lose some fat and gain some muscle, time will show
Are you in the gym?
Focus on high protein diets now. The more fat you lose the more proteins you need
I don't go to the gym, but I have equipment at home. I already consume more protein, but maybe not enough every single day
Well anyway, because of the surgery I had I lost a lot of muscle mass, I am currently working on getting back to the habit of working out. This is me now.
how big is your wiener?
16cm from the bone. Am I allowed to post it when I spoiler it?
I recommend you to shave your chest
You will look good in a year, stay consistent
Congratulations anon
But I don't think it's necessary to avoid white flour as long as it fits your macros
Guess so, but I just found it easier to avoid it altogether and replace it with more wholesome sources of carbs
Interesting. I generally don't eat bread in cuttings too.
I feel they're not very satiating, don't have much carbs and as a guy living alone I was forced to buy bread everyday
couldn't he have lifted and turned all that weight into muscle instead of losing it all?
How do you guys lose weight and not have loose skin
All of that to look like a smaller DYEL
Not only that, but you wouldn't believe how amazing I feel. I don't feel plump, heavy and out of breath anymore, I can rope jump and run without problems.
It's not just about looks, it's a way of life
I am still considerably young and I didn't hold my peak fatness for decades, maybe only some years.
The younger you are and the shorter the time period of fatness, the better your skin will tighten again
good job anon. how tall are you and what's your goal weight?
176cm tall, I don't have a particular weight in mind, but my ideal body would be more defined
Frick yeah fren! Keep up the good work.
