parent's dont want me to lose weight

>fat frick (bmi 27)
>want a gf
>start fasting
parent's are against it. I don't understand. They are spouting off all sorts of stuff like starvation mode, anorexia, bulimia, saying that this is really serious and I need to go to the doctor.
It's getting really difficult since my parents have been buying/making my favourite foods, trying to get me to eat.

      That’s because that’s not what fasting is for. Fasting is primarily for fat loss and is most effective for those who are morbidly obese.

      Once you’ve lost that fat and gotten to a reasonable body fat percentage it makes more sense to switch over to a muscle building program that will increase your metabolism along with some form of cardio. At this point if you do fast you should just do IF. The more prolonged fasts of 3 days or more is just unnecessary for you to look good when you are around 18% body fat. At that point you look better than average and you should be looking to maintain your physique which requires a more sustainable lifestyle.

        No one gets thin by fasting, fatties just don't have the willpower to stick to it. Lack of willpower is how they got fat in the first place.

          I agree the majority don’t, that’s why we live in a society that is becoming more and more obese. But that doesn’t mean that people should just give up and it doesn’t mean everyone fails.

          I tell people who are close to me I am more than happy to help but they need to start as simply as possibly. I tell them to eat within a 12 hour window everyday for a week. That includes sleep. So basically 8 hrs of sleep plus 4 hours while awake. I don’t care how you do it, but just do it for a week. Then if they manage to do that we’ll increase it by two hours the next week and see how it goes.

          They almost never follow through. But I don’t want to them to give up. I fail all the time at my diet and fitness goals. But I keep trying. That’s the lesson really.

        it works perfectly fine, better than being on a calorie deficit. what it doesnt do is build good habits, so once they start eating again they go right back where they started

          And that's why fasting is unhealthy. People don't change their diet, they only don't eat and 'uh, I lost weight, now I eat the same shit as before'...

      How do I manage the constant barrage of vitriol. for example, today we had a bar-b-q. I stayed in my room to avoid temptation and my father came to my room and brought me food. He insisted that I eat because he worked so hard. I refused but he got angry and started yelling at me. I always give in and eat. It's taking a toll on me.

          Your parents sound like abusers. They want you to repeqt their mistakea because if you improve it shines a light on their awful decissions. Frick them and lose the weight. You can still lose weight while eating something to please them. Just do constant walks.

          My younger brother is literally obese at 12 years of age such that he has labored breathing and even the doctor said he has got to lose weight and exercise. My parent's don't care, they continue to feed him until he literally vomits. They heap so much food onto his plate and make him eat all of it. It's sickening, I've told my parents and even my brother that he has to eat less and my parents brush it off.

        Idk how much youre fasting but dont be a moron. Just eat at like a 500 cal deficit and eat a ton of protein and recomp. Noobs can easily gain muscle and lose fat while maintaining a healthy diet.

        Dieting is easiest if you can move out, so much easier to control your own food.

        Also dont be a sperg. Always go and atleast eat a little, or for meals you know you gota eat, eat less the rest of the day.

        Follow up. Especially in situations like this my easy trick is to go and just eat all the protein and leave the carbs to the pigs. Yeah the protein is the main part but whatever not my problem. Everyone else can eat the mac and cheese and the cornbread. You could eat as much meat and vegges as you want almost, their cals to satiety ratio is real good.

    You're innecesarily worrying your parents. You're 19. You're not exactly an adult yet, or at least, not trustworthy yet.
    instead of fasting do cico with nutritious food instead of shit. Forgo sweets and other crap. If your parents see you eating actual healthy food, vegs, meat, fruit, nuts etc they will stop worrying and you will get help instead of sabotage. At your age, simple CICO will do the trick pretty fast.

    The absolute state of IST.

    You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I can't remember the last time someone who wasn't me posted "read the sticky". If you haven't read the sticky, read it now, if it doesn't confirm your biases, then you're the problem. Change.

    Unless, is this what you want? Do you want people coming here being like "I can't lose weight from fasting" or "my parents think I'm anorexic because I haven't eaten anything other than celery for two months"?

    Let's go through the list:
    >starvation mode
    Yes, this is a real thing that you should be concerned about. BMR tanks by roughly a third after a day or so without eating.

    >anorexia
    Also a real thing that is perpetuated by an obsession with aesthetics over fitness and fad diets.

    >bulimia
    Wow! Three for three, OP. Yes, bulimia is also a REAL THING that your parents have every reason to be concerned about.

      The sticky is a bunch of opinions made for idiots who want to be spoonfed, there are two truths to fitness:
      1. You can look up things for yourself and experiment to find what works for you as nothing is ever the same for everyone.
      2. If you can't you almost certainly need to pay for a nutritionist or endocrinologist like

      If you had them when you were really skinny... How is fasting going to help? You should go see an endocrinologist or surgeon, or at least start with a blood test, and work on fixing your diet to remove things that might be elevating your estrogen.

      says to do blood work and genetic analysis.
      Zero in-betweens.
      Hell the sticky doesn't even mention fasting it mentions LOW CALORIE DIETS.
      And low calorie diets are hard to calculate for most anyway, as no BMR or tdee is easily calculable. Bodies are very annoying, very hard things to figure out, I'm apparently high body fat but my visceral fat is very low, and yet I have a small waist.

      Yes, how'd you know

      Third worlders who move to America do not understand nutrition displacency, a lot of them came from eating healthy traditional foods in home nations to convenient dogshit made here in America, which ironically has far worse living standards.

      >They are spouting off all sorts of stuff like starvation mode, anorexia, bulimia,
      They're right on all of that, fasting is a shortcut to massive weight gain and further disordered eating because of that. You're only BMI 27 so just lift more.

      >saying that this is really serious and I need to go to the doctor.
      Yup, ketolard fatties of IST have fricked up your head and you need a shrink.

        Ah. It’s because my parents were similar, but not as bad. They both have childhood trauma having no food to eat, so in their adulthood they go overboard with food so they and their kids don’t have to go through that again.
        They’re mad because they’re scared, thinking you’re on a path to hunger and suffering and it’ll be avoided if you’d only listen to them and eat, but they don’t realize they’re no longer in a third world shithole and you no longer have to get fat for the winter or some shit because food is available now. Of course, this doesn’t justify their aggression. They need to catch up with reality.
        Try to get through them. It’ll be messy, but if you ask them about their perspective and reassure them that they’re finally free from the danger of starvation. I can’t guarantee that they’ll understand right away, but as you chip away at the trauma they’ve been blind to for so long, they’ll get passed their issues and see things from your perspective.
        Also keep up your diet and exercise. You’ll make it as long as you keep your conviction
