I know why i got fat.

[Warrior Spirit]

Keep it simple aussie. Caloric deficit and eat as healthy as you can. You'll be alright.

You’re not helping.

Calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight. Eat less = weigh less.

Yes it's that simple.

youre sounding like the fat IF fat guy expert now.. keep the weight off for a couple of years then ill listen.. or lets see before and after ripped pics.. if IF is the ghod way, you should be ripped in no time... but see... at the same time.. im not an anti IF guy, i just believe in what i believe in fer me.. i prefer eating and heavy exercise.. being an athlete most of me earlier life.. that way is second nature to me... n sum of us dinos be creatures of habit.. n one of those habits is how i got me whale on..

i never said i was the rock or crews.. i dont compare myself to them..they is just IF and one of those two eat many meals during they feed times. im me.. thats why im cool with 215-220 ultimately.. i dont need to be 185 n ripped or 245 n jacked.. just want me leanness back and a lil definition...... i got some muscles still..you can see em.. its under dat fat..... its not bad considering i havent lifted weights fer 8+ years.. mang if i took a few cycles n pumped me some iron.. i could get jacked fairly easy.. but im a natural guy,.....

if i couldn't burn fat, how did i drop 40 pounds??? did i drop 40 pounds of muscle?

now its waist size only..... i lost waist size during the 40 pound drop.. me skin has caught up and aint loose.... when phase two starts ill drop another 30-40 pounds and lose mo inches.. n ill keep most of me muscles i do gotz.. n look mo and mo like a leaned out boxer.. getting jacked lifting may be a future goal though.. well jacked may not be the correct term.. but ill get me sum lil gains .. get me 17in arms up to 17.5-18.5.. thats either phase 3 or 4.. probably 4.. id do one more cutting phase afta 2 at least n be around 200-205 then bulk back up to 215-220

when is losing 40 pounds a failure..... sure i had mo to lose, but i lost mo weight than you right... winner , winner.. i need another kfc bucket dinner.. i gotta go get that family meal deal, a side of wicked wings n sumin for me fam....

i never said artificial sweeteners are good, nor bad... thats yous and adis thang.. im indifferent.. howev, i dont think many things are good for people.. but i eat/drink/vape them anyway

Ain’t no expert, Aussie. Just first time with this. I chose to do it cause didn’t suspect I’d have time to workout much at all being busy with both work and my 4 kids being out of school for the summer. It looked like the best way by far to lose weight and maintain muscle tone since it’s primarily fat you’ll be burning. It’s like putting your body into self fat burning mode so you don’t have to do all that hard work yourself. All makes sense when you look at it overall. It’s also about giving the body time to repair and regenerate cells and hormones which is why it’s been used with success on patients with chronic conditions when they could not find relief elsewhere.

Knowing the position you’re in with fibromyalgia, trouble sleeping, and a need to lose weight, it seemed to be obviously a perfect fit for you. But you want to be hard headed and not open minded. If you’re really a dino, you’d be more than ready to get primeval and shit.



Get back to the days when man was hunter by day and ate at night. He didn’t **** around doing push ups and jumping jacks. He got his high intensity exercise while climbing and sprinting for some food and carry it home, uphill, to the fam waiting for that 1 meal of the day. They be men. They fight. They hunt. They did not sit at home thinking about fucking dieting while dipping tortilla chips in some guacamole.

This is how nature saw man as he evolved, not some gullible weak minded dork who grazed all day like a fat cow. You don’t need to get jacked. Nobody mentioned that but you. You simply need to get primal, put down those sissy diet drinks and get up and fight. Call on your inner warrior spirit and do it like the hunter and gatherer did it all those years ago, brotha.

So wrong you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. But keep listening to the talking heads.

Name one other way to lose weight besides lypo.

And if you say fasting then that's literally starving yourself, thus not eating.

IF is not starving yourself at all. In fact, you’ll be far more satiated throughout the day than you would with all those tiny girly portions Aussie was mentioning before in this thread. IF is how it was meant to be and as it is with other animals. Man has now been pussified and stupefied. It’s time to get primeval with this shit, motha fuckas.

You realize that Spartans weren't nearly as jacked and cut as they are portrayed right? Most gladiators actually had a high bf% for extra "armor" in a sense. And primeval humans didn't live very long.

Also Spartans were complete dicks to their citizens.

edit: and what do you mean it's not starving yourself? You literally just don't eat. That's all fasting is.

Don’t worry about if my ancestors were jacked or not. And don’t worry if they were dicks, dick. Just know if your stupid simpleton theory was close to making sense, most of the population would not be overweight.

So tell me how else to lose weight? The only way is to burn more calories than you consume.

All these posts have been about intermittent fasting so that would be how. What it comes down to is people have been misled and fed lies, being told to eat more throughout the day. This is not what evolution had in mind for us. We were not meant to eat constantly throughout the day.

Eating better food, less frequently throughout the day will let your body normalize itself and there’s nothing you have to buy or even work at. Your body will do all the work given the chance.

I wonder if Sparty can start a juke box with his fist.

Yes fasting, aka not eating, helps because you don't eat. Thus not taking in any calories. Proving my point.

I don’t know. I could probably do it with a few quarters though.

Dude, what’s wrong with you? You’re taking in all the calories you normally would during the day if you were a derelict eating 4 or 5 times a day.

 

[Mitchapalooza]

Dude, what’s wrong with you? You’re taking in all the calories you normally would during the day if you were a derelict eating 4 or 5 times a day.

But you don't count calories so how would you know? If you ate 2,000 cals/day for your diet and you "fasted" until 5pm then ate all 2k or just spread it out from morning to night, it's the same thing.

When I "fast" I just don't eat so I have excess calories (to eat) the rest of the day that I can use on a later day that week or just never use them in general.

Since you don't count your calories you probably didn't even realize you were under the number you needed after fasting for the day, thus losing the weight.

For me it was different. I know what I eat and when. I would just afford myself more late night snacks after the summer allowing another 20 pounds or so.

You’re all over the place here. First, you started off in this thread saying you’ve been intermittent fasting by accident cause you stop eating at dinner and skip breakfast. Now you’re trying to make IF out to be something you have to starve yourself through. Crazy. It’s as if you’re just trying to takeover Adi’s ridiculous stance.

Well yeah, initially I just never ate at breakfast (still don't) but after hearing about IF, I actually do fast about once a week since being on a cut. I basically just don't eat most of one day, per week. Then I stay under my calorie limit every day as normal. I barely eat one day of the week so I can use those calories on a later date if necessary. Since our bodies don't run on a 24 hour clock like our lives do, it helps if I'm super hungry on a certain day.

I said I "IF" in a sense because I usually don't eat throughout the day.

You don’t eat as often as fat fucks do so you aren’t fat. And you give your body time to regenerate without grazing all day like a cow. That’s the long and short of it. It’s the whole concept behind IF for both better health and weight control whether you do 16/8, 18/6, 20/4 or fast an entire day each week. No need to starve. You just learn to stop being so dependent on food and spending the whole day thinking about what you’re gonna eat next every couple hours.

So saying calories is just calories is stupid beyond belief. How are you stacking these calories? Are you boosting your metabolism or slowing it way down by eating so often. And you have to know every thing has a different type affect on it. It’s not going to treat healthy fats like bad fats or vice versa. It’s not going to treat sugar and protein the same. It’s not going to treat some fake shit made in a lab the same as anything else. And your brain interacts with it all telling you when you’re hungry, based both on your energy needs and feeding habits.

Obviously I'm agreeing that eating healthier calories is always the way to go. But it is possible to just lose weight by eating less calories regardless of what they are. It's just a lot harder like I've stated before. Shitty food is loaded with calories so it's possible but you'd just be hungry as hell all day because you wouldn't be eating that much food.

I'm not disagreeing with IF at all btw. I'm just saying if you eat more than you burn you will never lose weight.
