I've seen it dozens of times
Normies trying to lose weight for literal years, trying multiple diets but always failing and never achieving their goals
Why do they fail so much?
What do most people do wrong?
Why are Normies so ineffective at Losing Weight?
How long has Boogie been trying to lose weight? 10 years?
Lmao
So pathetic
He is the prime example of a loser who can't get shit done
because literally all u have to do is just eat less but normies think u have to do moronic meme diets like keto or carnivore or whatever fotm bullshit
They think that it’s unhealthy to fast because it sounds bad. They basically never have a reason. They believe this just because.
Fasting can be healthy, but promotes unhealthy habits making it easy to binge.
It's also sub-optimal for muscle growth.
Fasting is for losing weight moron not muscle building. When the cut is complete you shift to bulking mode and stop fasting
has it ever occurred to you slave just to eat to satiety for once? like eat as much as you need to; no more, no less? holy frick i'm on a planet full of morons
It’s because everyone screams “lack of willpower” at them while they eat the wrong foods over and over, until they get hungry again and then balloon back up.
Dieting has nothing to do with willpower. Dieting is about eating correctly so that when you do eat until you are full, which you are going to, because literally all humans do, you don’t turn into a fat person.

have you seen the little piggies
posting diatribes
they're too busy browsing reddit
to fix their own lives
because they aren't actually serious about it
>bad understanding of nutrition
>lack of discipline
>inaccurate calorie counting
>make short term changes, but don't change long term habits
The third one hits especially close to home. There are no people who break the laws of thermodynamics, but there are a lot of people who are bad at math.
Ask about that people with thyroid issues.
I've seen it numerous times too in my own family and it always comes down to one single thing....LACK OF WILLPOWER
>LACK OF WILLPOWER

I have to say, willpower is really fricking overrated. EasyWay changed my entire perspective on it. Removing the craving entirely and not relying on willpower to suppress it is infinitely more important than having strong willpower. The reason normalgays fail is because they constantly crave shit food rather than abandon it entirely, not because they don't have the willpower to suppress that. This also applies to anyone who does succeed. It's not because of willpower, it's because they remove the cravings. Even if they don't realise it, avoiding bad foods for 2-3 weeks and getting used to a good diet will remove the cravings by itself. Which, to be fair, does take willpower, but that doesn't mean the cravings aren't more important.
In my opinion you still need willpower to remove bad food and stick to it. Untill those cravings/habits disappear. Which you a mention in your post. Simply not buying the stuff is hard.
I also think that giving yourself a cheat day really fricks that up. Its all or nothing. Once you give yourself room to cheat your habits will easily take over again.
Thread. If you eat the correct foods, you don’t have to have lots of willpower to resist hunger pains. You can just have the appropriate amount of hunger while eating the appropriate amount of food, the way our ancestors did for thousands of years prior to the last 100 years.
most amerimutts have a dogshit diet ingrained in them since birth and are too npc to reflect critically and change it
as an european i have another problem, we are all alcoholics
they fail to develop sustainable habits regarding diet and exercise. if you brute force a caloric deficit no matter how quickly you lose weight if you go back to eating/ not exercising the way you gained the weight you're going to rebound. and obviously enviromental factors play a big role, how you can both live your life without ever being physically active for more than three minutes and the omnipresence of goyslop
They eat too many calories. That's it. That's all it is. They desperately try to find some method that will allow them to be physically fit while changing none of their self-destructive habits and addictions.
I'm not moronic, therefore I can lose/gain weight whenever I choose to. When I want to gain, I eat more. When I want to lose, I eat less. I decided to lose ten pounds of fat. I've done it in three months. It's the easiest fricking thing in the world.
It isn't instant gratification.
they fundamentally don't care enough
Normies are nutritionally moronic and total cooklets. Americans in particular seem to have this ingrained mindset of “eating healthy = suffering” for whatever reason, so diets typically have some masochistic or denial portion to them which are attractive to people looking to make a radical change but ultimately lead to a failure of long term commitment once willpower diminishes. Because they are so averse to cooking, normies rely on eating out for a large portion of their meals, and restaurants know they can charge a premium for “healthy” options, thus “healthy eating is expensive!”
Because large parts of our society are geared towards making you fat. Can't watch TV or browse the internet without seeing gigantic UHD videos of incredibly unhealthy but tasty foods. I mean multiple billion dollar companies have spent decades hiring top food scientists to design the most addictive possible foods without really giving a frick how healthy it is.
No discipline
Goyslop is way too cheap and addicting.
my mum never counted calories correctly.
>buys chicken breast
>deep fried it
>dont count oil or flour
>act like you eat healty
post mum's fat breasts
The keto-powershitting meta doesn't allow weight loss for most people. You will notice that literally everyone who loses weight does low fat high carb dieting, but you need some experience and secret knowledge to realize this, so the average guy will always fail.
I cut both carbs and fats massively on a cut, why do you lie moxyte?
Plants
Snacking and drinking calories are the main cause.
Literally who cares. Why do we need a thread about this
Why do we need a thread about anything, fricking nerd
>Literally who cares.
People who speak like this should never be listened to.
I’m fat and I can straight up tell you that the reason I’m fat is because I use food as an escape for when I feel sad, feel stressed, or when I have nothing to do. It’s also too easy to just stay in bed and watch YouTube/streaming services and not do anything.
I have a friend that every few years decides to lose weight, it always goes like
>wow I'm making such progress
>damn, my knee hurts so since I can't work out, I can't help it but order some food
>back in the game boys!
>damn, woke up to a bad migraine, makes me too depressed, time to order some food
>Normies trying to lose weight for literal years, trying multiple diets but always failing and never achieving their goals
Thats the problem, they try, they don't do it.
Women especially basically make a hobby out of losing weight for years and years and they get extremely assblasted angry if you point out they've just gotten fatter or join them and actually lose weight.
I thinks some of them overthink things, believing they need a special diet, which often doesn't work so they quit. Some people think that trying to be healthy is simply a waste of time, all while b***hing about how poorly they're aging non-stop.
people that think getting fat as you get older is just how things work and some people are leaner because of good genetics piss me off so much. It's why I don't have a single fat friend, it's a symptom of someone that just goes by without even attempting to have any control over their lives
Their whole approach and minset is just all wrong. Doesn't help that there is plenty of garbage information out there. Like the most basic question is "what should I eat to lose weight?".
>OMG ANON israeliteGLE LIKE LITERALLY SAYS YOU CAN ONLY SAFELY LOSE 5lbs PER YEAR!
>look cmon anon lets ask the doctor if this is safe…
Because they’re all braindead
>normies
It's normalgays you tourist Black person
Most people who say "I want to lose weight" or "I want to go on a diet" or "I want to get fit" don't actually mean that, but they also don't consciously know it most of the time. If you challenged them on it they would become indignant - "of COURSE I want to lose weight!" they'll shriek. "I'm doing [insert meme/fad diet]!!!" they say.
But as we all know, weight loss is not some Rube Goldberg complex machine of arbitrary pseudo-scientific mysticism. It is a cut and dry process, very simple, but in order to have success with it you cannot be lying to yourself. You cannot be deluded, you cannot make excuses, you cannot have an ego. My sister in law is fat. Always has been. I've watched her go on more diets than I can count, each of them failing for the usual reasons fat fricks fail on their diets.
She wants to be thin, but not nearly as much as she wants to sit around on her fat ass munching down slices of pizza. She wants to be fit, but not nearly as much as she enjoys lazing around on the couch day after day under blankets barely moving. She is disgusted with herself, but clearly not to the extent that she's willing to do whatever it takes to change what she doesn't like. In the end, she's fat because she wants to be fat. No matter how much her brain might tell her otherwise, she is unwilling to make the choices necessary to attain success.
She comes to me, I'm IST and go to the gym, says she's sick and tired of being fat, needs my advice to lose weight. I said she needs to count her calories every single day through a tracking app, and learn to do it accurately (I said I could review for a week or two until she got the hang of it). Told her to stop eating out so much and prep her own meals so she knows what's gone into it all. Told her that foods shouldn't be off limits but she needs to get used to eating far less of them. If there's pizza at a party, don't eat the whole fricking thing, have a slice or two and leave it alone.
---
I told her to stop drinking her calories. She drinks coffee every single day, multiple times per day, and not coffee - "coffee". You know, iced concoctions laden with heavy cream, whipped cream, sugar, caramel, the works. Enough to take it from like 3 calories to 500, just guzzling 500-1000 extra calories per day in a fricking drink. She was a soda addict too, every night with dinner a pepsi was in her hand. 250 more calories. That's a "healthy" dessert for frick's sake, but then again she'd go eat one of those too - 800 calorie slices of chocolate cake or two bowls of ice cream. Moderation wasn't a vocabulary word she ever learned, just the other M word, "more".
So she's telling me oh she's going to exercise and run and do all this shit. I say to her "hey, you're like what? 260? Don't even worry about that shit for the first 4 months. Give me one quarter of a year showing you're able to control what you eat. Weight will melt off you if you're doing it right, you can exercise a bit later once you have a handle on your eating habits". She gets this sour look on her face. But agrees, and so she starts logging and trying to eat less.
So she's going to cut down on the pizzas...well...but her friend had a going away party at work and there was pizza there and it was all so good and she deserved to let loose after a hard week at work and being sad because her friend was going and blah blah blah blah excuses excuses excuses she at a whole fricking pizzas's worth of slices, and like 3,000 calories in one sitting.
"I know I know I'll get back on track tomorrow!".
Always an excuse with these fatties. They'll be on "day one of the rest of my life" perpetually day after day after day after day. They'll violate their own terms for weight loss within 24 hours, enjoy it in the moment, feel the regret and remorse for a stupid choice afterwards, then vow to never eat [unhealthy thing] again, or henceforth to slim down, blah blah blah, eating donuts within 2 hours.
She logged iced coffee as regular coffee in her app pretty much day 1. I caught it because there was no way she drank black coffee twice, and her total coffee calories were like 20. I got her to correct it to the starbucks figured and bam, she's 200 calories over her BMR. What a shocker. Coach her up on how to log accurately.
She tells me I've really got her on the right track, she's all happy and giddy about it.
Next week the app entries are similar but wtf she's gained back the 5 pounds and added another one. How was that possible? Over at her place with my wife and she's complaining about how fat people can't lose weight, blah blah blah. I go to throw something away in the trash can. Starbucks iced coffee cup is in there. Pull it out, question her on it.
"what the frick anon, you're digging through my trash?"
"so what if I had some iced coffee, I need it to keep my energy up.."
"I ate fewer calories in other areas to make up for it...I swear!"
Excuses upon excuses upon excuses. Ultimately it comes down to this question: do you want to be fit, healthy, and thin, or do you want to guzzle down sugary coffee drinks twice per day? If you asked her this she would quickly state that she'd rather be fit and healthy. Her actions show that is NOT true. She would rather be a fat pig. This was like 2 years ago. My wife told me her sister confided to her this year that she's all the way up to 320 pounds and still gaining. Only now she's "body positive" and embraced the meme of moronation which is intuitive eating and writes shit on faceberg about having "suffered" under "restrictive, evil diets" in the past which made her body feel BAD! (gasp).
Most of these people are too stupid to live. In fact, that's a poor way to put it. Most of them aren't even really alive to begin with. They're not living a life. They're just brainless tax producing eating machines with no purpose other than to exist, consume, poop, and die.
The excuses never end for fatties.
>oh, my diet was SABOTAGED by attending a birthday party and being unable to resist the cake (they had 3 slices)
>oh, my family are food pushers! They offered me food and since I'm an automaton without free will, I was incapable of declining, and it was all fattening!
>umm somehow my body is different from the billions of other human bodies that follow laws of thermodynamics, and mine was MEANT to be fat!
>that is to say I have fat "genes" and big bones and my body stores more food as fat than others do, and my metabolism is bad (which means it would have been GOOD in times of starvation! hur hur hurrr) and exercise is impossible, I have a bad back! I have shin splints! I'm TIRED, I'll start tomorrow!
They want comfort and good feelings. It's no surprise that for the most part the people who cannot overcome their base impulses and emotions because they are slaves to such things are usually also your "WELL ACHSHUALLY...." leftist political bleeding heart types. The kind of people who regularly let their irrational emotional responses get in the way of rational judgments. Then you have articles talking about the strong correlation between right wing political ideologues and physical fitness/gym culture. Shocking!
>>umm somehow my body is different from the billions of other human bodies that follow laws of thermodynamics
To be fair, I do feel like I lost weight WAY faster than normal people. 240 to 170 in 3 months was insane, and I don't have any loose skin. But, yes, anyone saying they are physically incapable is capping.
Mostly underestimating intake/under logging. Everyone does it from time to time.
I was fat up until last year. I spent my entire 20's eating junk food, and it is really hard to give it up at first.
Plus, a lot of people think they don't have an extra hour a day for the gym.
From my experience in talking to these morons is they cant understand that consistency is key. Instead of picking a suitable meal plan of simple healthy meals that they stick to, they try and add variety because they want to 'Enjoy their food' which always ends up leading them to falling off the wagon and eat some shit food. The most successful diets I have had was when I stick to a few simple meals and dont deviate. The deviation and lack of consistency fricks you over in the long run because you end up looking at food as a pleasure rather than a tool to reach your goal.
The thing is, they're not really varied. I have a coworker who is a fat frick and they were saying something to me (this was pre-covid when I still saw my coworkers in person) about how I always had a turkey sandwich and a banana every single day in the lunch room, and how weird it was that I ate the same lunch every day. It wasn't true, but it was close. My lunches were usually a rotation. Turkey sandwich with a banana or skyr was my go-to. I'd also bring in prepped meals like a beef, rice, celery bowl my wife makes for me, or on occasion I'd have a soup or something. Basically, my lunch always is pretty light, like sub 500 calories all in all.
Oh man did I hear about how I was missing out on the flavors of life and the wide wide world of DELICIOUS and TASTY food. Well for one, my turkey sandwiches and other stuff tasted just fine. They were a good meal and I never felt like I had to choke them down like they were some kind of kale shake or something. Secondly, this fat blob would take the other fat fricks out to the same 3 places near the office every fricking day. It was either Chipotle, Chick Fil-A, or a pizza place every single fricking day. They'd show up with different variants of food from those places, which is probably what they thought sufficed for variety. Instead of a pizza today they have a calzone (big difference). Instead of a chicken sandwich, they have a 30 count chicken nuggets, and instead of french fries they have the mac and cheese. Calorie differences were negligible and in most cases it was the same ingredients anyway. Chipotle tacos, burritos, and burrito bowls are all made with the same options, you can't tell me that picking one or the other constitutes true meal variety. So there I was catching shit for eating basically 2-3 meals per week (which were relatively healthy or at least not totally unhealthy) and here they were eating the same 2-3 meals per week also, only their shit was deep fried fat frick meals.
When I lost weight, the first 4-8 weeks were brutal. Psychologically and hormonally, I wanted to eat more. My body was whining about how little food it was getting.
I think most people don't get through that adjustment phase and eventually give in to their body's desire to get to its set point.
>I wanted to eat more
Then why didn't you? Chicken breasts are 120kcal per 100g. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce are basically nothing. Put it all together, you can eat like 2-3kg of food total and still be in a deficit.
because they overthink it it's literally as simple as being in a caloric deficit
it's not my fault I'm fat, I just have a bit of a sweet tooth. I need one of these after lunch or I don't even have enough energy to work!
>Other vices like video games
I don't get this. Distractions/hobbies are the easiest way to lose weight long term.
You forgot one:
>Too stupid to read advice that's longer than four words
As someone who's been trying to lose weight for years and failing, it's literally just a lack of discipline and willpower. Fatties are fat because they crave the happy chemicals released when they eat unhealthy food, and lack the moral fiber to resist the craving. Everything else is a smokescreen to hide this fact.
