I've seen it first had. People trying to lose weight for literal YEARS and trying numerous diets but nothing seems to work.
I was able to shred most of my fat in literally two months, doing a caloric deficit + fasting
Why do Normies struggle so much to lose Weight?
>"Why do regular people that can't handle smallest hardships and just give up or cheat can't lose weight when it requires a strong-will"
Yeah retard i wonder
>first post
Fatness is a good metric for how mentally weak your society is. Our society is rotten and ready to collapse.
Lifting has increased my mental fortitude. Losing weight is easy. Building muscle while losing weight, this is some hard shit.
>Building muscle while losing weight
I believe in you, brother. WAGMI
>Building muscle while losing weight, this is some hard shit
What you doing? For me, it went
>losing fat without lifting, go from obese to overweight
>know I fucked up and became skinnyfat, do full body workout 3x weekly on caloric surplus to gain some muscle before losing more weight
>gain some visible muscle mass but also gain a lot of fat back
>switch to full body workout 1x weekly followed by a rest day both with caloric surplus, then 5 days of cardio and deficit
>been losing 2+ lbs per week for a couple months, can't tell if I've gotten any bigger musclewise but I'm adding reps or weight to every lift every week
Some peoples lives revolve around feelings and impulses. They don't think much, they are like animals. They can't see the apple.
do you read a lot of books? i feel like apple brain is usually book readers
I've always been an apple brain since a child.
Nah, I draw a lot and I am good at visualizing spaces and setting up compositions. You're either born with it or you're not. For instance I suck at those images that are stains, but that under a certain angle show an animal or whatever, and I suck at coding. Anything I can see in front of me works, anything that is pure brain like hardcore math is like nah.
youre just retarded bro
I'm a nr 1 and never read any books
Reading a lot in your youth is mostly connected to thinking in words.
how else would you think?
With imagery, like pictures and video
I read a lot and have nevwr thought in words sounds like armchair pseudoscience
I just daydream a lot.
1 ubermensch here
lmao this shit is the best troll
It isn't, you're subhuman.
I have aphantasia and I am a successful artist lol. Also have better recall than most people. Got through school easy as fuck because once I heard something in class, I could just remember it.
"Picture a red apple" doesn't make any image appear, I just remember those traits and object.
When I draft pieces, I have no issue because drawing isn't about having an inner image, its about manifesting what you want on the page. Those aren't connected.
Maybe you're full retard mode because you have tv in your head 24/7 while I have room to think and store info
Post art
I'm like a 1.5; unironically am I soulless NPC?
Lmao
This is fucking bullshit
Spoken like someone who can’t see the apple
It's bullshit though
There's no evidence that aphantasia exists. Really all we have are internet anedocted
With netflix and tiktok and spotify, nobody has an attention span or any patience at all anymore.
The real answer is that they are ignorant as fuck. When I talk to fat people about CICO, caloric deficit, fasting, etc. they look at me with a blank stare like I'm talking in fucking Cantonese.
I blame lack of nutritional education in school. Everything I know I learned because I did my own research.
Schools are so useless (at least in the US) when it comes to teaching actual life skills. They don't teach you how to balance your chequebook (or just balance a budget), how to make car payments, how to get fit and eat right, how to exercise (unless you are on a sports team), how to handle healthcare and other government paperwork, etc.
It's insane to me. Yea we have the internet, but people are so fucking stupid and only a select number of people are autodidacts.
>They don't teach you how to balance your chequebook (or just balance a budget)
That’s literally elementary grade math. You have $580.45 in your account. You spend $55.30 at one store and another $65.22 at another. If you are payed $1522.45 on Friday and rent is $1235 on Monday, how much can you spend over the weekend? Now you do basic addition and subtraction, not to mention with online banking balancing a checkbook is a pretty worthless skill to have.
The issues with schools (in America at least) is the focus on getting the correct answer rather than learning the process. So while people do learn reading comprehension and math they don’t want to/know how to apply it. They want someone to tell them exactly what to do when faced with a problem rather than apply skills to solve an issue.
I’ve had roommates with engineering degrees ask me how to do laundry. There’s directions on how to wash the clothes on the clothes and on the machine. But because they have never been “officially taught” how to do laundry they have no way of figuring it out. You can’t teach people every single thing they might run up to in life. You have to figure some things out yourself
>That’s literally elementary grade math.
Not really. You're thinking about the most reduced case with no long term saving or investments in financial instruments/securities, how to properly finance long term purchases, differences between short term and long term debt, proper portfolio diversification, etc.
To your point on getting the correct answer rather than understanding the why/process, I completely agree. Attempting to teach people how to critically think is what schools should focus on, teaching them how to fish rather than simply handing them a fish. Sadly, there is more focus on getting people to learn Shakespeare, and not enough on teaching people how to change a car battery or, as you say, properly do laundry without destroying clothes.
Home ec and shop classes and other life skill classes used to apparently be part of the US curriculum. But I'm a zoomer and we never learned any of that in school. I'm from a rural area though so learned all my life skills being out in nature and from my family. And I'm an autodidact so for everything else I use mastercard I mean the internet and just teach myself.
Man, lay off Shakespeare. All the muh gays muh civil rights muh holocaust shit in schools and you single out a bastion of our artistic heritage.
Even though I'm a zoomer, we didn't have any large focus on civil rights or holocaust stuff in my history courses (I also avoided modern history when I could, because I prefer to study history on my own). Though there was tons of emphasis on Shakespeare within English classes, in which there were naggers who couldn't even write at a basic level in English, let alone have any life skills besides weed, alcohol, drugs, and petty crime. As you say, it's about priorities. The US largely refuses to engage in votech training, and binning of students is limited aside from areas with certain magnet schools or GATE programs.
ironically those mid century educational films do a much better job at teaching life skills than modern education. i've been binge watching those on youtube and a lot of them hold up shockingly well.
I know exactly what you're talking about, haha those vids are awesome. So glad there are autist archivers who upload them to places like YT and IA
Can you share a playlist or something of the sort? I want to watch them more too. I saw one recently about dating and how any place can serve as a date (even voluntary jobs).
have fun

bro needs a whole class to teach him how to make a car payment lmfao
these are all things your parents should be teaching you, not the state
>When I talk to fat people about CICO, caloric deficit, fasting, etc. they look at me with a blank stare
Lmao
And they swear fasting will kill them. Like obesity isn't one of the top killers worldwide.
but muh eAtInG dIsOrDeR
When I tell normies that bodyfat literally exists to feed you during times of not eating, so it's okay to not eat if you have excess bodyfat, their brains malfunction. But they still get mad at me for saying I want to go 12+ hours without a meal.
With all the information we have in the current year you gotta be legitimately retarded to stay willingly ignorant
They do things like drink alcohol which completely fucks up weight loss efforts. Also they eat more than they think, and the things they are eating have more calories than they think. Also they might be pre-diabetic etc.
Normies have cultivated neither willpower nor discipline. They don't possess a Will, they aren't even human. Accomplishing a negative task is the easiest thing in the world. All you have to do is NOT eat as much, NOT spend as much money, NOT spent as much time cooking, eating, cleaning up/doing dishes.
But normies are slaves to their impulses.
they don't sit down and understand the process. They have vague ideas about what to do and then try that and it fails. Or they even try it the right way but mess it up and then quit.
touch grass tard
cope and seethe, fatty
Lack of willpower
Lack of goals
Lack of knowledge
Lack of action
Lack of consistency
Procrastination
I have failed my objectives numerous times and it always comes down to one of these
also lack of SHAME. i hit rock bottom because i stopped caring about what i ate and stopped exercising altogether. when you shape a mindset where that kind of behavior is disgraceful to you, it's much easier to get back on track.
they eat fat and sugar and attempt to lose by fighting hunger. exyremely hard to lose while being sedentary and eating junk food diet
i think you are right, the secret is not eating less, but moving more.4000 kcal a day, while being king of manlets and still got a sixpack. But i will probably blow up once i get older and/or leave my blue collar job
Because your average person wants overnight results. They will go on a starving diet that requires the will of an olympic athlete eating eating 100cal per day for a week, then give up and eat10x their tdee daily for a month.
I'm trying to bulk. How do normals gain weight so quick
80% of the population is hypothyroid
for a quick bulk get something sweet and mash it up with protein,like you could just buy your favorite type of oreo flavor or whatever and put some casein in there and turn it into a milkshake
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1/2 cup cottage cheege
scoop of protein powder
2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
dark chocolate chips
every day before bed.
eating before bed is disgusting.
this is the easy way to lose weight, if you’re not active you can easily skip dinner or do a <100 cal dinner, unless you’re bulking/recovering there’s no reason to ever eat a large dinner
take the pizzapill
>cast iron, 50lb all-purpose, 50lb wheat gluten, instant dry yeast
>bake in bulk, keeps well in fridge, starch retrogrades

https://www.bakersauthority.com/products/vital-wheat-gluten
https://www.amazon.com/Fleischmanns-Instant-Dry-Yeast-pk/dp/B06XPMKXFW
Put 1000g all-purpose flour + 500g vital wheat gluten, 1200g warm water in bowl, mix a little and wait 1hr (autolyse)
Add 9g instant dry yeast and 30g salt, knead a little, do stretch and folds, wait 30min
Stretch and folds, wait 30min, stretch and folds, cling wrap bowl and put in fridge, wait 8+hrs
Twist out a chunk of dough, pre-shape (fold edges over itself), put in flour-lined metal bowl, roll around and coat, wait 1-2hrs + preheat
Set oven to max heat with cast iron skillet in it, stretch out dough into a pizza and place on skillet, add tomato sauce, cheese, etc., heat for 8 minutes, turn skillet 180 degrees, wait another 8 minutes
Spatula the pizza onto wire rack
Makes about 6 medium pizzas, crust alone is 79g protein 133g carbs
Because normies eat as much as you do, but without any physical activity throughout the day
they lack the knowledge and aren't in the right battle. getting a healthy body fat % isn't about losing body fat. having a healthy body fat % comes as a natural consequence of fixing your endocrine and lymphatic systems, and cleaning up your bowels. another aspect of it is your shadow. if you don't know who you are or why you do what you do, then you can't control your own actions.
>fixing your endocrine and lymphatic systems
I'm reasonably SwoleShack, but QRD on this? I don't use any supps, don't do any real drugs or drink.
I drink black coffee that I brew myself, I take a single multivitamin a day, and after a workout I have one scoop of whey isolate.
How can I improve my endocrine or lymphatic systems?
Lack of knowledge stopped being a valid excuse when the internet was created. Come on, it's fucking 2023. Everything you need to know you can watch it in fucking YouTube.
Yeah but people will often be misled by smart people trying to get money from them
women don't need to lose weight
have a nice day. mentally diseased fat fetishist
Do Architectfags unironically find this thing attractive? It looks grotesque
No but if she was my neighbor id fuck on the side
The best nutrition plan is fasting every second day and eating nothing but whey and drinking hard liquor on eating days. The liquor kills my appetite and makes me feel good.
normies would rather voodoo juju bullshit than shit weve known for decades: sleep well, eat well, exercise well
normies think skipping a meal will kill you and that physical activity that amounts to less than 10% of what their actual ancestors used to do will also kill you
Most people who lose weight end up putting it back on within 1-2 years.
Let’s check in on you again in two years and see how you’re doing. My money says you’ve gained it all back.
>My money says you’ve gained it all back.
Lmao
I lost all my weight during the 2020 pandemic. Years have passed and years will pass and I will not lose my six pack.
Keep coping you overweight retard.
Yeah I’m not fat either.
Glad to hear you’re keeping it together, good job anon.
Thank you bro 🙂
How much weight did you lose?
I don't remember the exact weight but I went from 19.8% body fat to 10.5%
People are lazy and don't commit. Their idea of dieting is signing up for a meal service and they half ass workouts for two weeks, see no progress and give up.
IT'S NOT even that. they're idea of food is kinked into addiction to processed edible toys
Lots of normies are on SSRIs which make you insatiably hungry and get fatter, a known side effect which ~~*psychiatrists*~~ will downplay or neglect to mention
I was a fat kid who ballooned up to 300lbs by age 16 with the help of Lexapro starting from age 11, got off it and was able to drop down to 190 in less than a year
they're never taught the basics, nor how to even find the basics
they're also burnt the fuck out like anyone else grinding away under Capitalism, and don't have the mental energy/force of will to push themselves out of their established routine
When your body is fundamentally the property of your employer, there's no incentive to take care of it.
underestimating portion sizes
overestimating how much energy exercise burns
You're retarded and underage if you say shit like this. I was 10% bf for like 3 years straight during college while being mostly sedentary and lifting 3 times a week.
A soon as I started working all day, I couldn't micromanage my food and had to eat out with colleagues almost daily. The stress was neverending, I would try to stop it by shoveling carbs. Luckily I kept lifting and walked 15k steps per day because I'm autistic about my looks but even then I packed 10lbs over a year.
If I had any semblance of a social life and a gf, I would've been a fat fuck by now.
And that's me, I've been fasting,CICO-ing, low carbing excel spreadsheeting my shit since highschool. Normies don't have a chance. And some people have massive appetites, ozempic will unironically be a blessing for them.
skill issue
put the fork down lardfuck
>had to eat out with colleagues
>had to
weakmind and no-willpower-pilled. you could have gone with them and socialized but you did not have to partake in the gluttony. were they holding you down and forcibly stuffing food down your gullet? If not, then you're just a homosexual
>Boss: Hey anon why aren't you eating?
>I don't eat lunch.
Later at a meeting
>Boss: I don't know about anon. He didn't eat at lunch. That's so weird
>Boss 2: I agree. Even if you're not hungry you need to eat something. Is he not a team player? Let's let him go.
Sometimes, especially in professional environments, you need to do things you don't want to, just to fit in.
you can't be serious
It's true but you don't need to be a glutton.
Just eat a little bit.
Dont say that you don't eat lunch, say that you're satisfied
is this how extremely autistic people imagine social scenarios?
fat? Stop eating is like
Lonely? Socialize more
Smoker? Stop smoking
Depressed? Be more positive
Sounds easy but sadly it isn't
it really do be as shrimple as that, tho
there really isn't a secret
Your brain will sabotage you in some aspect or another. I have no problem being hungry and working out everyday, but I freeze with social interactions. I know what I have to do, just talk to people more. I also can't stop fapping. If you can shut those bad voices in your brain making you do stuff your shouldn't your would be happy, rich, jacked, fucking a new girl everyday, because it is really that simple.
>Your brain will sabotage you in some aspect or another.
No? You just sound weak as fuck. Keep rationalizing. I hope you're a femcel because you're embarrassing yourself if you're a male
You missed my point, also you're clearly underage
>I can't stop fapping
>I can't go to the gym
>I can't talk to people
>I'm going to just blame other people and call them underage when they point out I'm a weak homosexual
NGMI
I look way better than you and have a 6 plate conventional deadlift
Really struck a nerve with you, huh? you should probably see a shrink about your ego issues, not to mention being a massive pussy who takes no personal responsibility for his own life
>but I freeze with social interactions
I have this too.
Therapy makes a huge difference.
Holy fucking shit what is this cope? There's only two things you can do with food, eat less or eat more. Now let me ask you a question, do you think eating more food will make you less fat? No. Now what other options are left?
just stop being autistic too.
simple as
I lost about 30kg of fat.
I believe it's because people don't grasp how important looks are in making your life easier or underestimate how much a high body fat downgrades your face - after I started watching blackpill content I finally had the motivation to lose weight. The way women treat me now is way different, like I just get girls randomly smile at me in the street, my dating life is literally night and day. But also generally, people are way more likely to assume a positive personality trait to me or give me a chance, even though my personality is the same.
Basically, getting lean makes your life better in pretty much every aspect.
that change is just from fat loss?
looks like a completely different person or plastic surgery
Muh girls
Everytime
Nice face gains
what was your regiment/how did you do it?
They either
>have no willpower
>do retarded fad diets of 500 cal a day which are impossible to maintain and end up losing more muscle than fat, than rebound to a worse state than before
Once you learn counting calories and set a 500 calories deficit, it's easy as fuck to lose weight. The hardest part is to deny other people offering you food and to keep your diet in social events.
Also It's obnoxious as fuck to log every single meal.
In my experience, normie is typically used to me somebody who doesn't focus super hard on any given thing. There is a massive amount of misinformation on diet and exercise, so if you only take a cursory glance at it, you may end up with worse than no knowledge.
>tfw already looking forward to cut
Have you seen the American diet? But also typical socializing revolves around getting fat. Dead serious
>watch sports
Eat garbage and drink alcohol, get fat
>hang with the girls
Go out to eat, drink alcohol, get fat
>go to church
Eat a bunch of donuts after, get fat
>have a holiday gathering
Massively overeat, drink alcohol, get fat
If you socialize a lot it’s close to impossible to stay thin
you can do all those social things but just nurse ONE drink or buy a small appetizer and share it with everyone. you don't HAVE to pig out with all the other people. the tough one is if you are trying to take out a high maintenance girl to fancy restaurants where you obviously need to order entrees etc. but that's the exception. all the other situations you can manage. holiday gatherings are super rare, and you can just make a small plate of food, dont have to gorge.
the stupid idea that more than 200 grams or more of carbohydrates are part of a healthy diet. Carbs make you hungry all the time and make you put away more and more food because they wreck our satiety hormonal system. Come at me carbtrannies.
Normies are just hungry all the time despite eating a huge amount of calories because carbs tell the body they need more.
People have totally fucking destroyed hormones, a literally fake food supply filled with plastic and estrogen, they are bathed in electronic lights and sounds 24/7, and generally hate their lives and their jobs that keep them strapped into a computer.
Gee, it’s real mystery.
Because being strong-willed is a very, very rare attribute. Once you take a hold of it, it feels like a superpower.
No willpower plus sugar
I got ill everytime,dizzy and weak
you need someone big and strong to protect you
It's literally pointless trying to talk them out from being fatasses.
They always blame their lack of time, that period they were training like prime Arnold but then had an injury or how their gym is far or how they ARE on diet but it is not working.
What baffles is me is how you can be a literal Apollonian Adonis with a chiseled body that brightens the room and these fatasses instead of asking the person with EVIDENT results, they discuss their lard diet with another fattie...
Fuck them
>they discuss their lard diet with another fattie...
It's natural for people to try to find help from people similar to them
>What baffles is me is how you can be a literal Apollonian Adonis with a chiseled body that brightens the room and these fatasses instead of asking the person with EVIDENT results, they discuss their lard diet with another fattie...
>Be me, fatty
>Finally decide to lose weight
>Lose about 60lbs
>people are amazed
>other fatties in friendgroup or at parties ask me how
>say that I go to the gym and watch my calories
>they say that they don't have time to go to the Gym(even tho some of them are unemployed)
>they start whining about how much work it is to count calories
>they start talking to each other about Keto or whatever fucking diets they heared about
>some of them flat out dismiss what I say and ask if I did drugs because they saw me at Micky D's that one time eating a couple of burgers, and Micky D's makes you fat, so I was lying
Like, i am still a chubster, and I am by no means an adonis, but why won't they listen to the guy that they have SEEN lose all that weight? Some of them have known me for literal years and they saw me slimming down over time, but they still go "Nuh-uh, I heared that Keto is the way to go!:
I just gave up after a while and let them wallow in their own ignorance. Have fun staying fat while I work my way to a healthy body, retards.
The best part is when people nitpick the fuck about what you've done to justify not doing it
>You're fasting? That's unhealthy! I can't do that!
>Doing Keto? That's expensive and blocks your arteries!
ect ect ect
Fatties will always find an excuse and never take responsibility. My mom does it with her diabetes. She'll scarf down twinkies and sodas and when I introduce to her zero calorie stuff to get her used to cutting down on all these sugars she finds an excuse
>b-but the soda is 1-2 dollars more!
Drives me insane
>>You're fasting? That's unhealthy! I can't do that!
My mom always goes off on me for doing IF because "fAsTiNg iS uNhEaLtHy"
No matter how much I try to argue that literal millions of people around the world fast she just won't hear it. "I'm proud of your weight loss but you need to EAT, you can't STARVE yourself!!"
Like, woman, I love you with all my heart but fucking listen when I say something. I eat, but I just space it out.
>Fatties will always find an excuse and never take responsibility. My mom does it with her diabetes. She'll scarf down twinkies and sodas and when I introduce to her zero calorie stuff to get her used to cutting down on all these sugars she finds an excuse
It's insane how people will preform the most amazing mental gymnastics to justify the way they eat or live. I hope your mom sees the light one day because it would be sad to lose her thanks to this shit.
>b-but the soda is 1-2 dollars more!
Diet Soda costs more? It's pretty much the same price where I live.
>It's insane how people will preform the most amazing mental gymnastics to justify the way they eat or live. I hope your mom sees the light one day because it would be sad to lose her thanks to this shit.
I've already written her off. She's in her early 50's but she has so many health issues and works 20 hours a day and is feeling the backlash from everything. I give her <5 years.
>Diet Soda costs more? It's pretty much the same price where I live.
It's the new zero sugar stuff - it's getting cheaper but it has a premium mark-up because it tastes (imo) just like the actual thing unlike diet that has a very distinct flavor from the sweetener
All my relatives shot on me for drinking diet soda, somehow that is too good to be true so it gives you cancer
>I was able to shred most of my fat in literally two months, doing a caloric deficit + fasting
Agreed. The only thing hard about weight loss is maintaining strength and fitness while you do it.
Because they unironically think you can lose weight by eating a calorie deficit of Twinkie’s and Big Macs
I literally lost >30kg eating only fast food and snacks
Mentzer did a precontest diet with Wendy's and FiveGuys
I'm not memeing
today I learned that losing weight is the end goal of health
They lack willpower and patience.
They also tend to do extreme shit that is not sustainable so they burn out within a week or 2.
>fasting
Doesn't this type of dieting just make you balloon up as soon as you stop fasting and stuff?
I've heard people say that
that's bullshit. i've maintained my healthy weight for 16 months with no issue.
>not eating food makes you gain weight
The absolute fucking retardation of normie fitness advice
people have better self delusion capabilities than self control
Because they believe in things like “overtraining” “starvation mode” “IIFYM” and “eating disorders” and “everything in moderation”
Im assuming impulse control
Normies have no willpower. They're basically cattle, addicted to comfort.
I’ve lost 110 pounds and put on a lot of muscle in an extreme way and feel like I’ve damaged my metabolism from my methods, is that a thing? I
just want to start eating sensibly but fear I will start gaining, I’ve given myself an eating disorder
If fat people were just shamed more it wouldn’t be a problem.
I’m 20lbs overweight and I WISH society would shame me about it.
Not really. I was bullied for being fat in high school and it just made me more inclined to comfort eat.
You can't shame someone out of alcohol or drug addiction.
The part you’re misunderstanding is 1v1 bullying is pretty unhelpful but society:1 bullying is extremely effective.
In Japan they don’t fucking cater to fats. Don’t fit in the chair? GO AWAY
Walking down the street? WHY ARE YOU SO FAT *pig noises*
Entire society built for thin people.
>Walking down the street? WHY ARE YOU SO FAT *pig noises*
That...sounds like 1v1 though.
Again, people should lose weight, but it shouldn't be to "look good", but rather for their own health.
(Also, most fat people aren't "so fat they can't fit in a chair or break it")
the problem is that most people are vain and only care about their health once they're knocking on death's door
Several multibillion dollar industries relay on people being fatties. They have spread weight loss FUD for decades that normies believe.
You can see a new version of this unfold before our very eyes with the Ozempic FUD
Because they don’t know you can just stop eating carbs and it becomes impossible to be fat
>Why do Normies struggle so much to lose Weight?
Because they fell for the calorie psyop.
While I'm not saying it doesn't make you hungry, people justify food they normally wouldn't eat because "I'm drinking diet coke so it balances out" and they overeat.
Normies, like us, are obsessed with ''muh six pack'' and ''muh abs''.
Back in the days nobody cared, Vin Diesel flat stomach (or The Rock in The Mummy return) was considered totally ok, now it would be considered ''fat'' or ''dad body''
