For weight loss do the following:

1. Two-three meals per day.
2. Buy a weighing scale to weigh your food.
3. Eat the same shit EVERYDAY. I literally went 6 months eating an oats smoothie for breakfast and chicken broccoli and rice for dinner.
4. Do not allow yourself to become hungry. I've found that when I leave too big a time gap between eating, I will order a takeout or something
5. For the first 1-2 weeks, you really have to force yourself to stick to a diet but after that it becomes easy to stick to.

 

[Incelius Savage]

Stick to 1 meal a day. Eat at 2-4pm and keep it lower than 1200 calories. Drink 2.5 liters of water at least every single day.

 

[happiless]

Instead of eating food, try to not eat food

 

[Rhaast]

Get a fucking scale, calculate how much calories you eat on a normal day (maintenance) and cut down 300 to 500 calories, eat high protein foods, some carbs (dont cut them entirely) and get rid of any unecessary fats like oils or sugar.
Train hard every day and take one or two rest days a week. AND TRUST THE FUCKING PROCESS

 

[Angry_runt]

If I were you, I'd eat 4-6 small meals a day, so that you're less likely to get very hungry. You can prepare two meals and then divide them into 6 ready to eat portions.

You should also target a maximum amount of weight to lose a week. Depending on how much of a fat ass you are, it should be anywhere from 0.5kg to 1kg a week (not counting the first week of your calorie restriction when you'll be losing a lot of water weight). If your calories are too restricted and you're losing a lot of weight too quickly, you'll just be wasting muscle.

Consider using a tape measure to keep track of your waist circumference along with the weight. This is helpful if you're also starting strength training and will be building some muscle at the same time.

Apples and water help to ward off hunger.

Have one cheat meal a week so you don't rope.

Water fast if you are NEET. Don't listen to the bullshit people say about it, it worked for me fine with no bad side effects. If you are not NEET, just being poor should help you lose weight. Like one meal a day that is ghetto.

 

[El Enemigo]

Avoid bread and drink a lot of water

 

[Virginpowers]

Well it should be mostly down to dieting. Cardio in addition is a good habit but that's not where you should expect most of your loss to come from. You probably already know this but just mentioning. It's also that, if you want to lose weight, it's inevitable that you will have to starve yourself. That's kind of what it is. Other than that it's all psychological tricks like eating more or less meals a day and such. Just like you can't bulk up without eating past comfort. Although there might be more to it in general, I have never had to cut myself since I was always a skinny twig, other people might have more to add. I do have experience with bulking at least.

im seeing weight loss but its pretty slow even tho im only doing 2 meals a day and no carbs or sugar, i might just need to exercise more, not a lot to do when ur NEET tho

You can eat whatever you want as long as its 500 calories under your maintenance

Calorie Calculator

This calorie calculator estimates the number of calories needed each day to maintain, lose, or gain weight. Learn the kinds of calories and their effects.

www.calculator.net

Choose the sedentary option for activity, anything else is inaccurate

My maintenance is 2400 so to lose 1lb a week I would eat 1900

Good luck

What is your height / weight at the moment?

 

[Mecoja]

I went from 225lbs to 169lbs in just under 6 months

The way I did it was by simply reducing the amount I ate, for example at my heaviest I use to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but In between i would also snack and eat some leftovers. During my weight loss, I also stopped drinking fizzy drinks and completley cut out bread and rice and just focused on eating chicken, salads, beef etc.

As for exercise, I just did 1 hour walks every day at a normal pace. If you manage to eat less calories than your body naturally burns, then you dont really need to exercise much unless you dont want to loose all your muscles.

Best plan.

 

[based_meme]

Fast the whole day and eat one regular sized meal and supplement with vitamins so you don't develop deficiencies. Don't slap on more food on your plate or go for extras. Check your weight on the scale, as well as your waist, thigh and fat caliper measurements (can use your hands for this) now, and then again after six months, and then once again after a year.

I did the opposite and ate 5 low calorie meals instead. As long as your calorie intake is lower than your base metabolic rate, you should lose weight. Vegetables, seafood and lean meats are low calorie food that take a lot though of space. They fill your stomach, making you feel less hungry throughout the day.

Plain popcorn without toppings, Greek yogurt, sugar free jam & syrup, some fruits, tofu, whey protein, avocado and goat cheese are some other high volume low cal food that you'll also appreciate.

Another extremely important thing is to lower your insulin. That is the hormone that can break your diet and make you feel too tired to go on if you aren't careful. How do you that? By lowering your carbs. No more sweets, pastry or alcoholic beverages. Drink diet/zero sodas. Use artificial sweeteners like stevia. Lower bread, pasta and rice. Use things like cauliflower rice and quinoa instead.

In the end whether you go for a keto diet or a high protein one, the important thing is keeping your macros in check. There are online calculators that can help you calculate and track how much fat and protein you need but you can also use apps like MyFitnessPal or make a plan with a nutritionist. Supplement with nuts, cod liver oil, vitamins and minerals as needed.

You will quickly lose the initial mass. At some point you might plateau. That happens when your body thinks that you are starving and is trying to conserve energy. When that happens, do this: maintain your diet for 3 days and then overeat on the fourth day. Rinse and repeat like a cycle. This will trick your body into avoiding starvation mode. Only do that after you have hit the plateau though as this process is slower than a straight diet for the first kilos.

Good luck (soon to be former) fatcel

I did protein sparing fast for 2 weeks where you eat 0 fats and 0 carbs, only protein. Lost 8lb of fat when I did it for leanmaxxing .

Pretty much calorie count but you need to pay attention to your insulin level.

500 calories of sugar-heavy food have more of a negative effect than 500 calories of lean protein or fatty protein.

When your blood sugar spikes, the body releases more insulin, which prevents the fat cells from opening up and the stored glucose from being used for energy.

That is why high-sugar food is poison even if it is "low" in calories. Macronutrients are important.

"When you take insulin, glucose can enter your cells and glucose levels in your blood drop. But if you take in more calories than you need to maintain a healthy weight — given your level of activity — your cells will get more glucose than they need. Glucose that your cells don't use accumulates as fat."

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/in-depth/insulin-and-weight-gain/art-20047836

So you do the opposite, take in fewer calories but also prevent your insulin from going up, which helps you burn the stored fat.

I didn't even bother with non-green colored vegetables, the redness of the fruit shows the level of fructose which is lower GI than production sugar but it has the same effect on insulin. Higher fiber foods are okay, but you need to check the balance.

Carbohydrates are complex sugar, which breaks down in the body to become glucose. Glucose is sugar and sugar spikes your blood sugar, which is not what you want.

Too much protein can also do this, but you'll need upwards of 200g per day intake for that process to occur, and is quite rare anyway.

So in summary:
Count calories, maintain caloric deficiency.
Lay off sugar, even fructose should be consumed in moderation.
Frequency is up to you, eat after workouts so you don't spike blood sugar before and make your workouts less effective on body fat.
Losing weight is a chemical process, which means your diet is 80% of the effort.
Consistency is key, cheat days are not worth it.

damn, I also want to lose weight. i have been slacking off the past month tbh. I need to start getting serious again. my advice however is to avoid snacking as much as possible. I know for me what made me gain weight was eating snacks like chips and drinking soda. count your calories and don't be impatient because the process is slow.

Oh, yeah. Try to avoid high GI foods. "A calorie is a calorie" is a stupid meme I have no idea how it spread.

Normies take surface knowledge as objective truth, they never go deeper when trying to understand anything.

The same argument for exercise vs diet, going to the gym is good but if you eat garbage sugar-filled food all day, you will achieve nothing.
