The Losing Weight Thread

[camel filters]

I am a fat ass who needs to drop a few. Any fat asses on here that would like to join? Former tubbies that have advice? Come share the joys and tribulations of trying to fit into those old pants that you fit in before you got a girlfriend in the losing weight thread!

 I recently lost 30 lbs myself. Skipping breakfast is the worst meal of the day to skip. Starting your day with a meal helps kick start your metabolism. Try eating smaller meals more often through the day.  Rather than eating 2 or 3 large meals eat 4 to 5 small meals or snacks. You could also add weight lifting( not power lifting ) 3 to 4 times a week. The extra muscle will help burn fat even while not working out ( cardio and skating only burns fat while you are active ). And try not to eat 3 to 4 hrs before bed. this was the hardest thing for me

listening to fat people tell other fatties how to lose weight is one of the funniest things ever.  i've been skinny my whole life, but i've lived with lots of fat retards so i know exactly what you all do.  being fat doesn't mean you're dumb, it just means you're parents are dumb and they fucked you up.

this is how not to be a fatass:

1) drink water - stop drinking soda/diet soda/weird sugar free energy drinks/gross sugary fake iced tea/all that bullshit.  where do you fat fucks even find this shit?  it's disgusting and gives you cancer.  if you're craving sugar, drink fruit juice or eat a piece of fruit you stupid fat whore.  also, if you think vitamin water is good for you b/c it has the word "vitamin" in it, then just give up now.  stop reading.  you're going to be fat forever b/c you're way to regular to ever be helped.

2) eat a piece of fruit or a vegetable with every meal - you may be confused right now.  fruit ≠ sour skittles, twizzlers, gummy bears, or cherry coke.  when you eat a grapefruit w/ your eggs in the morning, then later in the day you don't crave all that sugary bullshit you're always cramming down your disgusting throat.  when you make a sandwich, put some mixed greens or spinach on it or eat some baby carrots on the side or have some tomato soup, etc.  and no, iceberg lettuce is not food.  stop eating it, idiot.  this shit is not that hard.  when you make dinner, eat some broccoli or asparagus or any vegetable.  it's fucking delicious.  you just don't know how to cook it b/c you're fat parents screwed you.

3) learn how to cook - it's very easy and tastes a million times better than the disgusting garbage you're eating right now.  you're literally eating shit right now.  stop.  you're disgusting.  put down the mountain dew and ps3 controller and take some time to prepare a meal.

4) snacks - here are the snacks you're allowed: mini carrots, apple w/ almonds or peanut butter (and make it real peanut butter).  i know you fat fucks will take any chance you can to fuck this up by eating skippy or some other faggot shit.  i know all your tricks.  other acceptable snacks include: beef jerky, cheese slices (REAL cheese, dumbfuck.  american cheese = plastic), any nuts, bean burrito, tuna fish and crackers, etc.  basically anything that's REAL FOOD. 

5) eat real food - this is definitely the most important overriding element.  fat people have the most insane ability to always choose the most crazily processed crap ever.  all these crackers and chips, and fake cheese and fake peanut butter, fake lettuce, fake mayonaise, fake butter (margerine), fake everything.  STOP.  this also includes anything w/ a "diet," "reduced fat," "low fat," or anything like that in front of it (w/ the one exception of maybe milk).  see, when you drink water and eat real food regularly, then the deserts you eat and everything else can actually be real.  it doesn't have to be some fake half ass disgusting low fat bullshit that leaves you unfulfilled and scarfing down everything in sight afterwards.

i could go on but i know you fat morons won't even follow the simple advice i've just given, so i'm just going to stop now.

drink a glass of water before every meal, then stop eating when you are 80 percent full.
you dont have to keep eating untill your stuffed, stop before you are full.
the japanese have it down, just eat more smaller portions throughout the day, instead of 2 gigantic meals that sit in your belly

-Just eat meat, eggs, cheese, butter/lard and green vegetables.  
-No grains, legumes,  starches or sugars(including fructose in fruit) as they cause insulin spikes which initiate fat storage.  
-Only drink water and/or green tea.    
-If you limit carbs (vegetables) to around 20g a day, your body will switch to burning fat and protein for fuel.  There is an adjustment period as the body detoxes from sugar dependence and enter into ketosis. Its not pleasant but tough it out.  
-The whole calories in calories out thing is bullshit.  When I was a vegetarian I weighed 140 lbs on 1500 calories a day.  I now easily eat 3000 calories a day of mostly fat and protein and I'm the leanest I've ever been at 130 lbs.  
-On this type of diet you need to eat a lot of saturated fat and limit protein.  Too much protein and not enough fat will cause what Aboriginals called "rabbit starvation" so stay away from lean meats and "low fat" anything. The saturated fat will boost metabolism, increase absorption of fat soluble vitamins and increase testosterone levels.  Testosterone makes you lean, too much estrogen gets you flabby.  Saturated fat will also get the bowels moving.  Saturated fat is a health food, contrary to what the big soy/corn propaganda campaigns proclaim.  
-Fiber is not necessary for human health and actually bad for you.  
-Calorie restriction isn't necessary, just eat when you're hungry.  Fat and protein will keep you feeling full longer.
-I personally only workout 20 mins to half an hour every day.  No weights, push ups or sit ups.  Just high intensity cardio because I wanna stay lean and not bulk up.  It works for me.
-Have a few bags of pork rinds around for the carb cravings.  Try to find them without msg.  They can also be crushed up and used for no carb pancake batter or breading for meats.

This way of eating is pretty simple and healthy but can be a pain in the ass when eating out or shopping.  Everything has sugar/starch/soy in it including bacon and processed deli meats.  Just eat real food and have some will power, not only will this make you lose weight, it will get you cut.

Embrace your fattness. Do not loath it. Eat until you feel the need to shit blood.

[Mr.Blonde]

when i was 18 i fell and broke my jaw, i was on a liquid diet, and lost soo much weight, i looked like i belonged in a nazi camp. I had to eat so many calories a day just to keep my weight up, all through a syringe.  The worst part was my mind set. Thats what it all comes down to, how much you are commited to reaching your goal. First solid food i ate was a chicken nugget meal from mcdonnalds.

[Beeda Weeda]

eat less, exersize more.

[Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!]

Drinking nothing but water would probably be a decent first step. Don't eat too much in between meals and try to get some chill regular exercise in your week, some jogging or something.
Those are some lazy mans basic measures for someone who doesn't want to do too much like a gnarley diet or something

[busey]

i lost 15 pounds by not drinking for 3 months and skating all day.

then i gained it back by always being busy, tired, and drunk.

[oyolar]

eat less and smarter, exersize more.

That's really all it takes. Transition to whole grain everything. Don't skip meals. Like people have said, eat smaller meals more frequently. Pull ups, sit ups, etc. are a good idea. Learn what your target heart rate to burn fat is. People think that by doing high intensity jogging/running will burn the most fat, but that's not true. Sometimes power walking or a light jog will be better for you. But working out is only half the battle. The most important part is to change what and how you eat. You can work out all you want, but if you're eating shit, you'll still be "fat" and feel like shit.

After Christmas I was crushing the scale at a fat ass 208 lbs. I made it my 2010 resolution to cut down to 168 for summer skateboarding. This morning's weigh-in was 173.

This is pretty gay but nothing illustrates the difference better than a before/after:



How did I do it?

I started with a kind of Atkins-style diet—tuna, chicken, cooked yams, raw eggs, broccoli, cottage cheese—that knocked away the lbs. but left me feeling like shit. A few weeks into this I saw Chris Kendall's Aberrican Me and got pretty stoked on the raw fruit thing. I had heard plenty of good things about a raw fruit diet and decided to incorporate more raw fruit consumption into my nutrition plan. With each passing week the raw factor went up to the point where about 90% of the calories I consume are from raw fruit and vegan protein powder. (I still eat cooked meats a few times a week to help preclude muscle atrophy as I shed weight toward my ultimate goal.) I use nutritiondata.com to count my calories and try to stay within the 1500-2000 range daily.

I'm eating 4 or 5 fruit smoothies a day and snack on handfuls of fresh blueberries, strawberries, cherries, etc. My facial complexion has improved and my hairline, which had begun to recede in the last couple of years, has actually grown back. Stoked on the raw advantage!

Really, the only way to increase your metabolism and lose weight without losing lean body mass (muscle) is to lift weights. I just stick to the basic movements and alternate two training days—pullups & curls one day; bench, incline, and standing overhead presses on the other, along with squats & deadlifts. Skateboarding 2 or 3 hours five days a week helps accelerate the fat loss but weight training alone is more effective at burning fat than cardio without weight training. Do both and you're going to see your weigh-ins head south—in my case it's been happening consistently for about 16 weeks at a rate of 2 lbs. a week.

Sorry, I meant whole wheat/wheat flour. Wheat bread and pasta versus white bread and pasta. It is digested slower than white flour, making you eat less, and as long as you work out and shit, it'll burn off.

Commercial D-is that really you? Because that much of a difference in 6 months is crazy and I would like to subscribe to your news letter.

Yup, and that's actually not quite 4 months—113 days I believe. There was obviously some hard work involved but I have to give a lot of credit to the raw diet.

On the subject of whole wheat & whole grains vs. white flour, what you're referring to is glycemic load, which is basically how fast the carbs are absorbed into your body, and of course whole grains have a lower GI (glycemic index) number. See nutritiondata.com. But pretty much the only grains I eat are 1/3 cup soaked raw rolled oats in my breakfast smoothie, which also includes one whole avocado, one banana, a tablespoon of flaxseeds, a handful of greens (could be spinach, kale or collareds, depending on what's in the fridge), sometimes a handful of strawberries or blueberries, mixed with water (or if I'm feeling rebellious, skim milk).

That's pretty much it—lift weights, skate, and eat fruit from a blender 4 or 5 times a day and all your bodyfat will go bye-bye.

work for a landscaping company. you'll get a nice Pauly D tan and you'll sweat a few lbs.

[BallDontLie]

Lots of Cardio. And yes, small portions. Not sure if you work or not, but lifting weights here and there isn't all that bad and can benefit you in a lot of ways. Especially in the workplace. More or less it's all it the dieting/calorie intake. Have a set amount of calories you can consume. Try this

Cut down on the drinking. Maybe resort to wine.

Do a little jogging before you work out to help boost your metabolism.
