Serious question. If anything, I find it hard to keep weight on. For example, If I skip a meal because I don't have time I will lose weight just like that. I don't have the time to be eating constantly. I don't understand how people manage to get obese.
Because donuts taste good
>serious question
if you can’t just understand other people are different than you and then you’re just retarded. it’s extremely simple, it’s just really easy to be fat
Not chewing properly
They don't
yes but what does that have to do with being a weak willed homosexual?
Arguable. Steak or ribs has a superior flavor profile in my view.
I agree but I'm not fat.
Extreme laziness. Not that hard to figure out. Plus she's probably had a few kids.
>How do people manage to get fat?
By having massive caloric intakes and not being active. When I was fat (5'8" 200lb) my caloric intake was around 5,000kcal a day while I was working an office job. I was drinking lots of soda and beer. I was snacking on top of eating 3-4 meals a day, and those meals were large covered in sugary sauces that had tons of calories by themselves.
When I actually got my shit together and started caring about my diet I realized that a lot of my problems were caused by chronic dehydration from all the soda and that if I only ate when I was actually hungry I only needed 1,800kcal a day. Fixing my diet was the biggest source of my weight loss, and I'm at 165lb now with only light jogging 3 days a week.
i do that and diet and activity did nothing. if anything i only lost weight to under healthy for my bmi (i'm 6'2"). the only time gained weight was around after i turned 30 but it only put about 10lbs on me.
How much do you weigh?
Wine and female dating strategy.
If she wants to be alone that's her decision.
>food environment
>fed processed calorie dense garbage my whole life
>zero understanding of nutrition from a young age
>mom verbally abused me for being overweight while simultaneously using food as a reward system
I’ve lost 100 pounds but that is kind of how it shakes out for me. I think my satiety signals are fucked too because I’m basically perpetually hungry at a calorie deficit
I think food environment with the access to cheap highly palatable foods is the #1 cause behind obesity though
Parents like that are the worst
They accuse you of things that are their fault
Ok, so everyone who is fat probably has a different reason, i can tell just mine:
>was never good at sports
>videogames were fun, imaginative and easy
>cue no sports until at least 14 years old
>its proven that you get more hungry the less you move
>eat more, normal food and sweets
>get fat
>be embaressed
>bad/less social contacts
>even less motivation to get shit together
>miss out on fun things that people with friends and girlfriends do
>get even more depressed, eat more, game more etc.
>continues through uni
>last year, get fed up with it while browsing SwoleShack and watching some videos of a certain old school youtuber, start doing sports, eating clean, stop videogaming, make friends, get girlfriend(s)
Now at around 20% body fat. On the road to 12%, will take probably around 3-4 months. Life couldnt be better right now.
Started out the same but at around 13-14 I lost all the weight from going through puberty/getting taller and being so invested in games that I stopped eating.
The social contacts and laziness don't get better just by losing the weight though. For that we've got to stop being home bodies.
>its proven that you get more hungry the less you move
lol wat
Yeah i read either 2 or 3 studies on it back in 2022. There is some shit happening with your serotonin and stomach hormones, that make you more hungry the more sedentary you are. On the flipsidey the more you train and do sports, the less fatty and savoury food you will crave. One of the studies was pretty shit, as in, you couldnt differentiate if it was hormones or habkts and the psyche doing the difference, but all studies pointed in the same direction that people who did sports 1. Burned logically more calories than sedentaries but also 2. Ate less
Same story but no gf. I feel incredibly lonely despite having an active social life.
Currently at 15% bf. My BMI used to be 40+ now it's 26.
When I was fat (5’10” 195lbs) it was because I was seriously overestimating the amount of movement I was doing. I worked a manual labor job and thought I was burning over 5000 calories daily, when it was likely 3000-3500. Every day after work I would get two Quesaritos and two loaded trillers from Taco Bell and wash it down with a large Baja Blast. That meal alone was probably 2500 calories of garbage.
I didn’t believe I was fat at first. I used every trick in the book to convince myself otherwise, like “the scale is broken” or “my clothes shrunk in the wash” or “I have lots of muscle underneath” until I swallowed my pride instead of excess food and made changes.
Fats likely don’t realize how much harm they’re doing to themselves. If they ever do, they just ignore it and make excuses because it’s easier than changing habits that they’re used to having. It isn’t easy to make those changes, I’ve been there. But if you don’t like the way you look and feel, the only person to blame is yourself and the only person who can change it is yourself.
It's not confidence, it's cope. If you make impossible requirements no one will meet you can pretend that's the reason you don't get approached by the other sex and not your hideous figure
Absurdly high hunger drive for me. And glacial pace metabolism. Still lost weight, I just have to go under 1k cal/day and daily 15k step walks as a 30y man.
Bullshit unless you’re one of those guys who has no legs and one arm
Not him, but it’s the same for me.
I ate 1750 calories per day and didn’t even lose 10lbs over the course of 8 god damned months, so I dropped it to 800-950 (making sure to hit my protein quota) and eventually started steadily losing weight.
I kept having to go on long walks to occupy my time.
I know 800 calories might sound extreme but I figured if I was going to be starving all the fuckin’ time (I already was at 1750) that I might as well just bandaid it and get it the fuck over with.
Those first eight months sucked cock and I wish I had done it sooner.
I guess my metabolism is just fucked.
When I started I was 225lbs at 6’3”.
Everything I read said that I just had to keep shit under 2150 calories and I would be losing weight like crazy and that simply wasn’t true.
There are a lot of factors that go into that, like doing any cardio or your BMR, in addition to how much bodyfat you actually have. A 1000 calorie deficit isn't all that extreme if you are actually fat.
I was doing the same amount of exercise at either deficit.
I had to start walking around because I was fucking starving all the time at 1750 kek
I’m so grateful to be bulking finally.
I never skip a gym day because losing weight sucked so bad and I refuse to be gaining weight without gaining some muscle.
I don't believe fat people
>p
Fat people generally have poor physical awareness. They get signals that things are wrong in various ways but they don't pay attention to it.
You have low appetite because of your genes and upbringing, some people have a high appetite for the same reasons.

Inner unhappiness. Every other answer before me and after me is wrong. That's literally the root of all voluntary suffering in this world.

This one scares me the most cuz it could have been me. My natural weight is around 160, during COVID it got up to 185. Back down to 160 now.
Anon you're retarded, stop eating shit
because she said 7 figs im thinking it's a joke
Nah, she actually thinks a Richard Gere type will rescue her and her kids from the streets
Your body has accepted that your default body state is empty (or at least not full). You eat now and then but if you forget it than you dont really worry much.
Fat people strive to be fucking stuffed all of the time. This is their default body state. If that even changes slightly they need another handful of garbage.
If only they would fast for a day or two and learn that having no food in their stomach normal and feeling stuffed and bloated all the time isnt. To actually feel what real hunger is.like.
I know this because i used to be 30 kilos heavier. And i ate just because it was time to eat (oh its lunchtime, better shove 4 sandwiches in my mouth). Not because my body was really hungry.
They eat fast food and never exercise, just walk around a bit
Recently installed tinder and all the otherwise attractive chicks are all single moms with tattoos and a main pic holding a wine glass or white claw
It's all so tiresome, bros.
why don't you want to be a stepdad for these alcoholic moms?
I guess I could pretend. Until those fatherless daughters and their friends turn 18.
Birth control pills and SSRIs lead to unnatural weight gain
>7 figures
She’s clearly joking. Next to no one on tinder or whatever or anyone you bump into day to day is pulling in 7 figures (1 million+) actively annually. Even passively through income + investments is a stretch. That fat bitch doesn’t deserve to demand 6 figures either though. Unless she herself is a millionaire of course but I doubt it.
I knew a fat chick whose Dad owned a bunch of restaurant franchises. He was a smart chubby dweeb accountant, basically, and his daughter had the genetics to match. One thing that stick out to me was that she would never walk anywhere, but would only takes cabs (pre-Uber). So she'd take a cab to go like 3 blocks.
I'm 6'4, 7.5 inches but $0 annual salary. I'm keepin' it movin
>get used to eating big portions
>your perception of what is a lot of food is totally skewed so you eat too much all the time
>drinking alcohol
>not working out enough
>not getting enough sleep
I am physically active but my portion control is shit and I drink like a fish. If I didnt drink I would probably be in good shape since I workout almost every day on top of a manual labour job.
>If I didnt drink
>I workout almost every day
I know fatties that also "workout" every day that don't drink at all. Although diet plays a key role, you most likely also don't know what the fuck you are doing in the gym other than just doing random shit
I skip rope for 15mins
Then 75 burpees thats my cardio days/inbetween days

Bench 5x5
Zottman curls 3x10

Leg raises 2x30
Day2

I just have an okay home gym, I could do my leg stuff or deadlifts but If I fuck my back up I can't do my job. And I dont find them fun. If work was really taxing I will skip a day. If you have some suggestions to how I can better improve my shitty "program" I am all ears
Oh I also skip rope every workout for 15 mins
Honestly I don’t have anything constructive to add (because I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about) but I just wanted to say that you should be really proud of all the work that you’re putting in.
Congrats, anon.
You’ve got it more together that >75% of this board.
Thanks man I am trying. I have a long ways to go still. But I have been focusing more on my diet to unfuck my body. My peak years are behind me but better late then never.
Yeah dude, dieting is 90% of losing weight (at least for me).
I had to buckle down and stay dedicated to an extreme cut (like <1100 calories per day, just chicken breast and raw spinach mostly) to actually lose weight.
I figured if I was going to be miserable all the time anyways, I might as well quick-like-a-bandaid it and get it out of the way.
But as long as you’re dieting and meeting your protein quota and working out, you’re doing shit right.
From someone who lost 70~ish lbs in the last year,
>chicken is your friend
>leafy greens are an excellent source of fiber on a low cal diet
>if you want to expedite things, keto is not a meme but beware, you will have NO energy. It makes you feel like you have mono. Get the ketone piss test strips, it will help keep you on track.
>long walks and podcasts or music are your friend too, they’ll help you forget about how hungry you are
>you will be hungry all the time, but stick it out, it is worth it
Also mane, your prime years are when you’re at your prime.
You seem like you’re improving and getting better.
Your prime years are ahead of you.
picrel is a post I made about walking a few weeks ago.
Walking kicks ass.
If you have any questions about weight loss I would be happy to answer them to the best of my knowledge.
I am by no means an expert, but I can certainly tell you about my personal experience.
Really good job on your weight loss bro.
I know what I have to do and what was working for me in the past. I was eating at a deficeit, counting all my calories and it was working. Thats just the trickiest part for me. I could use the excuses of stress/busy, but really its me not being dedicated enough to that aspect of healthy living which is the biggest component at least for weight loss.
I am classified as obese so if I am aiming for -2000cals a day I should lose a few lbs a week? I walk about 7km a day or at least that what the tracker says. On top of labour job + exercise when I get home.
Then don't drink. I've been stopping on and off for a while and it helps mentally and physically.
tesrt
welcome back
Most people don't know what it takes to maintain their weight; they don't know their daily caloric intake.
They also don't know restaurant food isn't healthy.
i get stressed out and have anxiety attacks and when i do i snack to try and feel better.
>It is hard for me to get fat
>I cannot conceive of other people’s desires and motives that differ from mine
They’re hungrier than you anon. You’re sub 90 IQ.
My parents are fucking morons. Mother is a stupid narcissist and father is a sociopath. Growing up there was no portion control, overeating was encouraged, comfort treats and between meal snacks were a constant, and that's the habit we carried forward. Absolutely unhinged to do this to your children. The further we siblings get from those walking disasters the better we do in life.
Had a drinking/drug problem. Calories caught up to me eventually. ~260/270 at 5’10”. Now at 183 with abs. It’s a process. I’m glad you are a twink but practice eating for when you age out of being fucked by pedos and need to bear mode to get dicked down.

Age, job, education level and location?
Surely it's possible for you to squeeze to 60k at least. 40k is only like $19/hr full time

not in the sense that they have a legitamite rewiring of the brain (they may), but that their priorities, ideals, and visions are out of order with their instincts. read might is right.
t. DYEL and fat duck
Um... I don't know where people get even half the nerve to say a quarter of this kind of shit. I terribly desire to pound the shit out of every fitness-dick-in-your-vag bitch that wanders around my gym lifting 10 pound dumbbells but has an ass the size of my gut but I obviously restrain myself out of shame.
I honestly don't know why I got fat.
Used to binge 230g of Doritos, 1.5L of Cola (or Coca is what it was called in France where I lived), maybe a pound of chicken, a bag of something sweet, a salad and rice in about an hour? Meh, needle doesn't move past 210lbs. (@ 183cm, 6") Also, wouldn't eat for the rest of the following day until evening came again, binged again, and then went to sleep – you see the cycle.
Take meds and learn to cook smaller quantities but better food (I rarely used things like butter – if that makes people fat?). Immediately jump up to 275 (where I currently am) in the space of three months. Fucking kill me.
I don't know much about losing weight. I've only ever got heavier and more self conscious. Despite the advice from fat/, not a lot seems to work effectively with me idrk. But luckily I know a neighbor upstairs (if I could climb them lol) who says he weighed 140kg and dropped off 40 from doing MMA for two years, so I'm looking for something like that or at my local boxing gym (not fitness boxing - boxing boxing). So, go gymming mornings and then boxing or something fun in the evenings is my plan I guess.
If only I could actually dedicate myself to it... in short, maybe that's why people are fat. That's probably your answer. And we're not gay. That too.
Read the sticky you mentally retarded eurocuck
They have the same problem you do in reverse, retard.
Bro I literally cannot stop fucking fatties from tinder and bars. I think I might be retarded
