My gf always told me she weighed 160LB despite me always telling her I knew she was 180 and was lying. She recently went to the doctor and weighed in at 205. Yuck. She's lucky that she's tall and most of it goes to her breasts and ass.
Anyways, since I'm IST she is begging me to help her lose weight. She already does not drink, smoke, or do drugs and does about 45 minutes of exercise (Zone 2-3 cardio and lifting) every single day. I have also put together a plan for her to do the following:
>Higher volume of cardio focusing on distance running along with a simple PPL routine
>Strict <1000 calorie diet focused on portion control and consisting of chicken breast/salmon, salads, eggs, yogurt, and fruit
>No more going out to eat (this also saves me $ I'd rather be saving)
>Having her hormonal IUD removed and replaced with a copper IUD
>Having her drink a FRICKton of water and take probiotics+vitamins
What else should I have her do? She was SO upset when they weighed her and said she was disgusted and ashamed of herself. I don't blame her. I hope she doesn't have a thyroid problem and that the birth control hormones are most of the issue. I still think she's super hot, but she's been teetering on the brink of fat for a while and I don't want her to fall down onto the wrong side of the wall. I've had to lose 50 pounds before myself and I did it by literally eating nothing but small portions of chicken breast and spinach and running 5 miles a day. IDK if it's any different for women.
>Strict <1000 calorie diet focused on portion control and consisting of chicken breast/salmon, salads, eggs, yogurt, and fruit
Terrible advice and will frick up her prostitute moans.
What would you suggest, in that case? I approached it purely from a CICO perspective.
She was eating a pretty modest amount before as well, although her family would drag her out to eat goyslop with them almost every night of the week and I'm not sure what those portions were like.
Frick these pussies OP. Get that b***h on the ECA stack and a sub 500 cal diet then make your sloppy pig gf do 60 mins of cardio each day.
ECA?
ephedrine - caffeine - aspirin
I did suggest caffeine as an appetite suppressant for her. Cocaine girls isn't just a meme, LOL.
What do ephedrine and aspirin do for her?
Ephedrine is a stimulant that suppresses appetite. Caffeine and ephedrine together increase thermogenesis and make you burn more calories. Aspirin is supposed to reduce inflammation or something, it's not totally necessary. If you live in America I don't think you can get ephedrine easily. You need to buy OTC medication, it's called broncaid or something. I live in Canada and buy it online in 8mg pills. Cheap as hell.
Bronkaid is easy to get in the US but it's behind the pharmacy counter. Just have to ask for it. Not prescription but controlled since people make meth out of it.
Love Canada for this reason. I switched my allergy med to ephedrine, no more tiredness. I use to use it to work through a hangover when I was younger. Synephrine is great too but can only get it in Canada if it's in another product for some reason.
I combined Caffeine with Synephrin once which is close to ephedrine. This shit is no joke. It's dangerously synergistic and I could frickin feel pain in my veins (forearms) while I was raving. Bloodpressure got very high despite being normally on the lower end. I felt safer consuming XTC than that caffeine-synephrin combo. I would watch out the amount you take if you combine them.
If that's the case, get her to improve her sleep and exercise more regularly in something she finds manageable. Many women especially turn to like yoga and spin classes and shit, as it requires a 400+ kcal of energy when done right, and can be done basically daily while being gentle on their joints and shit. If her diet is already good she just needs to improve her metabolic health and that's the easiest route by far, more/better sleep and more movement.
I myself struggle with sleep, so I won't give her any advice there LOL. She does alright; pretty average I'd say. She falls asleep around 1 and wakes up around 8 or sometimes 9, similar to me if I get myself a good night's rest which is about half the week.
I'll suggest the classes to her. Right now she plays in a volleyball league but that's ending this week. What would you say about having her work out twice a day as well?
Yeah it's sad how normal poor sleep is these days. I hope both of you get a handle on that anon.
>What would you say about having her work out twice a day as well
If that's manageable sure, but more important is better rest. Staying up til 1 in the morning has never been normal throughout human history until recently. Getting to bed at like 10 or 11 for a while alone can possibly make a big difference in her metabolic health. She may need to make no other changes at all to get back to a healthy weight.
I don't want to be a b***h that hides behind psychiatric labels but a lot of it is ptsd that I'm still trying to get a handle on. What's weird is that even if I *don't* sleep, I will still fall asleep for about 2 hours before I have to get up for work. Trying my best; it's certainly better than when I wouldn't sleep for 4-5 days and start hallucinating and passing out randomly lol
Anyways, I'll suggest both things to her. Thank you fren
There's nothing b***h tier about admitting that, you're selective about who you tell which is healthy. Being vulnerable around women at all or guys who don't have your best interest at heart is where that becomes a problem and it seems you intuitively understand that.
I have the same struggles with PTSD and insomnia anon, very similar patterns of it as well. Two things that have helped me:
>lights out rule
Military tier discipline in this rule, it is iron. I turn off everything with blue light or "content" or anything work-related before bed at say 10, put anything on a charger if necessary and don't think of it again for the night. For the rest of the hour, you're free to bathe or meditate or veg out, anything relaxing and not demanding of your concentration. I don't even read in this time as it can become too interesting. This works to help maintain sanity and energy typically, and even when it fails (rare) I am more relaxed the next day and drift right to sleep so long as I follow the rule.
But when it got really bad I started looking into alternative therapies. I now microdose psilocybin and take NAC together in 30 day cycles, one month on then one off. This was proven to help with both PTSD and TBI in an important study about 2 years ago. If you want to go the perfectly legal route, you can look into options for ketamine therapy, it has about the same efficacy I know it may sound extreme but frick taking SSRIs and walking around with a fluoride stare, or dealing with that shit alone. Again this is like a nuclear option, but if done well it can help greatly and has worked for many vets, pro-athletes, people in fricked up car accidents, rape and assault victims, etc. Consider it at least.
Best of luck fren
Interesting... I take NAC every single day and have been for months. Mostly for liver support as beef and raw eggs can take their toll.
Did you have to endure boredom at the beginning when you did your lights out rule? I've tried this but I end up being so anxious that I go back to my phone to listen to wrestling podcasts or something. I think it's because my phone and relaxing YT videos have been a part of my sleep process since I was in high school. Should this habit be broken as I only *think* it's helping me?
I've never taken sleeping pills or SSRI's. Right now I take 50mg melatonin a night. Sometimes it helps when I'm having trouble.
>Did you have to endure boredom at the beginning when you did your lights out rule?
Yes and I fell into the same habit of returning to the pacifiers like podcasts and dopamine validation. It turns you into a slave to technology and reduces your health and ability to recover from life. I realized that at base it wasn't actually boredom, it was a generalized anxiety and attachment issues I was dealing with. I'm not a psychologist but that sounds like what you're dealing with as well.
>Should this habit be broken as I only *think* it's helping me?
You don't actually need wrestling podcasts or any of that shit, you need a good night's sleep anon. Regularly if possible and before 10 or 11 pm if you can. That 10 pm - 2 am range is the best sleep one can get.
As for NAC, I didn't want to become overly reliant or dose dependant so that's why I stop after about 30 days. But the results I and so many others have experienced with it and microdosing psychedelics have drastically improved our lives. I'm grateful you avoided the SSRI trap, you may just have a decent doctor if that shit wasn't forced down your throat anon.
In that case, I think I'll try cutting off all the electronics at 12 and power through the anxiety of it. I don't need it to survive; you're right about that. I do have a lot of anxiety about a lot of things and the phone is like drugs; it relieves you but makes you worse simultaneously.
Also, it's probably because I don't HAVE a doctor LOL. I've been terrified of them ever since the happenings of 2020 and don't really like doctor's offices or hospitals.
A good doctor is hard to find these days, I didn't expect it but had a horrible experience with a vaxoid during the plandemic. I'm in the same boat anon
Also I can't stress enough, mindset matters. It may sound kind of counter-intuitive but powering through it may give you the wrong impression. Look at is as letting go, relax, this is your time for peace and restoration. Let the unconscious take over slowly as you drift off. This hour or so is like I said best when doing stuff like meditation, shower sex with gf, etc. Just something very chill before you both drift away to the dream world. Lead her there with you anon, be her man.
Before you turn to anything in pharma, unironically see if she'll give pic rel or something like it a try. See if it will improve her sleep and metabolism. I thought I had hit a fat loss plateau until I tried one of these herbal remedies for thyroid and another for blood flow, I noticed almost immediate improvement in everything, even morning wood retvrned and I haven't needed any such herbs or medicines since. They're cheap too.
I'm hoping to God it's not a thyroid thing as that can start to get impossible from what I've seen with other men's gfs ballooning. I will look into this.
>my girlfriend goes to the Cheesecake Factory and eats a dinner with 2,500 calories, plus wienertails, every single night
>I can’t figure out why she’s struggling with her weight
Who could possibly know what the problem is?
they could gain some weight.
Until those little jean shorts pop off
Do fasting instead of diet
> Strict <1000 calorie diet focused on portion control and consisting of chicken breast/salmon, salads, eggs, yogurt, and fruit
She's gonna relapse so hard dude
Yeah, I'm worried about that as well although part of me thinks that her body doesn't know what a proper portion is and so she needs to train it to want only what it needs. What's your suggestion to fix?
Semaglutide and HGH. Dead serious. She also needs to eat healthier and start lifting weights. In 6 months she'll be at 140 lbs no problem.
Doesn't Ozempic cause pancreatic failure and skin issues? She could get it being that she's obese on paper.
Also, wouldn't HGH make her gain weight rather than lose?
My wife lost 30lbs on ozempic in 3-4 months, it works extremely well and you don't need to really modify diet or exercise.
>Higher volume of cardio focusing on distance running along with a simple PPL routine
Terrible idea with distance running she isn't gonna stick to it
>Strict <1000 calorie diet focused on portion control and consisting of chicken breast/salmon, salads, eggs, yogurt, and fruit
She is gonna relapse
>Having her hormonal IUD removed and replaced with a copper IUD
This is the only good idea. Hormonal contraception is the devil and gives your girl brain cancer and fat.
Just get her into skwats and rdls and lower body training, give her muscle so her TDEE goes up. She will overtime become less fat and you get a nice fricking ass to plow.
Hm... Right now she says she does 3 mile inclined walks and can run about 0.5 miles at a time in what sounds like an interval cardio routine. I told her to try and make as much of that to be running as she possibly can and to work her way up to running the whole thing over time.
Relapse on goyslop, or excessive portions?
Yeah, she said that she was skinny until she got her IUD and then all of a sudden gained 20 pounds and that it has slowly been building ever since. She's got an appointment to get it changed out next week. I told her she'll probably lose a lot of weight once that happens.
GL architect
all you need to do is figure out what her maintence calories are and reduce it by a few hundred calories, less than a thousand calories a day is insane and not sustainable

Dude, I know. GF looks like them but has bigger breasts. the plap plapping is off the charts.
Unsustainable
300cal deficit over a longer period of time would be better. The key to weight loss is consistency and patience.
She could also lose 150lbs really fast by dropping your DYEL ass though.
Have her take the cycling pill
>t. roadie gang
YES YES YES to the copper iud. My wife got it and it helped her skin, her weight, her mood, and her periods. It’s good for 10 fricking years too.
There are signs to look for when it comes to female hormonal imbalances, like bald spots on her temples, acne as an adult that doesn’t appear right before her period but is just always there, pretty much picrel. Best bet to fix it is moderate to high cardio, UNSWEETENED peppermint/spearmint tea, and reducing carb intake. You don’t have to take away all carbs I’m not saying that, but certainly reduce em.
This gives me hope. She doesn't have any of these things. She still menstruates despite having a hormonal IUD which means her fertility isn't a problem. Skin is fine for the most part. She gets eczema in the winter sometimes but it goes away once it gets warmer outside.
The diet less than 1000 calories is a bad idea. Especially if she has a job, nobody is capable of effectively working without some energy lol
Just be reasonable and be smart. Think: even if you're an average man around 5'9" to 6'0" and somewhere between 160-200lbs your girl DOES NOT need to eating as much as you do, women have lower BMR than men, naturally weigh less due to smaller bones, have less muscle etc, and even a girl who's exceptionally tall will still only be 5'10" max. When you cook just make sure she isn't on the same portions as you. A little under 2000 calories will do for her
Intense cardio isn't even necessary, just walking 10k steps a day and running every so often will do. She can lift some weights every now and then too
Easy lifestyle to maintain and stay thin brah
>t. gf is 5'6" 110lbs
The problem is that she was doing that before and gaining despite still exercising. Granted, she was having one meal of goyslop a day but barely eating the rest. I think if she does actually start having low/no energy we'll revisit portions.
HOW MANY FRICKING CALORIES WAS HER DINNER
it was probably more than 1,000 calories from they one meal alone
how fricking stupid are you? just because you don’t count the calories doesn’t mean you didn’t eat them
DESU, I think you're right. That shit adds up at restaurants especially. And don't even get me started on her thinking diet pop was "good for you"
I was never there and considering her brothers are actual weed smoking degenerates they were probably going wherever they could shovel as much slop for their $$ as possible. GF wasn't smoking with them but she would try and refuse to go and they'd just pay for her. There will be a conversation soon where I tell them both how upset she is about her weight and they need to frick off with taking her to restaurants.
Unfortunately when you date the girl, you date the whole family. Ugh. She can be skinny if she wants to; her mom is VERY good looking especially for her age.
diet pop is fine, there is no evidence suggesting otherwise
many bodybuilders drink 2L+ of diet sofa per day
you’re a fricking idiot and focusing on all the wrong things
Hmmmmm I suspect incorrect calorie counting then. Loads of people somehow think calories from drinks and snacks magically don't matter so they'll drink 4 cans of coke and 3 glasses of orange juice, have a chocolate bar and then wonder why they're gaining despite the apparent deficit
And if the one meal of goyslop is something really bad like pizza or KFC it might even be upto 2000 calories
You can't successfully train your partner by putting them on a strict routine. If she wants to lose weight cheer her on when she does something right and don't engage with her mistakes. If she is doing something blatantly wrong or asks for some advice just drop a little bit of knowledge. This strategy has helped my wife lose 50 pounds with very little input on my part.
>Strict <1000 calorie diet
For fricks sake just aim for 500 cals below her TDEE. All the usual steps recommended in /fat/ will do, the only different for women is slightly different charts for estimated TDEE/goal BF% and she’ll likely have some predictable plateaus and wooshes caused by her normal period cycle.
OP it sounds like neither of you is determined enough to do anything, stop blogposting and just be fat

Yeah here’s some advice. Find a new girlfriend. It’s easier than convincing a girl to actually be healthy.
I thought about that. Even tried cheating but I didn't have the stomach for it. Hard to believe but I think I actually like her. Gross, I know.
She is doing mostly the right things to try and fix herself moron, did you not read his post at all?
