Better yet, has he tried not eating?

The thing lots of people don't tell you is that losing weight when you're significantly overweight means you're going to have to live with being hungry all the time

All. The. Time.

I had a friend who was 350 at 6', and he lost about 30 lbs in a month (he was still eating about 3000 calories a day). But every time we talked his opener would be "dude I'm so hungry"

He gained it all back rather quickly when he decided he'd rather be not hungry than not fat

I really don't understand why people dobt limit themselves to 20 carbs a day
I lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks
---

True, I am always hungry
but that's the tradeoff

Wat

Limit urself to 20 carbs a day. Don't eat more than 20 carbs a day.
That means no more potatoes, wheat, rice, sugar, grains, candy, ice cream, bull shit junk food. etc. There is suger in so much stuff. You must eliminate starches all together. It might be hard at first but the results will make it worthwhile. Eventually your own body will start using your stored fat as energy. Your body will burn off the fat automatically. Just eat meat and some green veggies. Drink water or diet drinks if u must drink soda pop. Without cardio you will see changes within 2 to 3 weeks. At first you will start losing at least 2 pounds a week. If you do start doing cardio and weights you will lose weight even faster.
I'm telling you. If you have to try it.

Eat healthier and exercise more. The results may surprise you.

Let's see

Breakfast: black bean patty, protein shake, mozzarella cheese balls (because)
Lunch: salad....maybe coffee with creamer for muh sugar fix
Dinner: some fish and veggies and maybe eggs, another protein shake later on

????????

I already eat like this for the most part I'll just cut out quinoa. Maybe buy some zucchini
---

ive lost about 15 pounds so far. i eat the same as i did before, but i just make better choices about calorie intake and portions.

are you counting your calories?
---

Eat healthier food, not less. Add tons of veggies and fruit, eat a suitable amount of protein, and avoid carb heavy foods like bread and pasta. However, that's not all you need to do. You also need frequent exercise. It doesn't have to be intense or painful. Just take at least a 30-minute walk around your neighborhood. IIRC, you need at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day as an adult with an average diet, so just do that. It doesn't even have to be walking. Just do something you like that is physical, like swimming, hiking, biking, walking, etc.

Whats your height/weight TC?

Nothing wrong with straight coffee. That's zero calories unless you're pounding lattes.

Because carbs have nothing to do with you gaining weight.

You exercise?

Online and on okcupid I'm 5'6" 264 but irl I cosplay as a 5'10" somewhere between 175-185 (I haven't seen a scale in a year)

Trying to shed some annoying fat around the waist

I should probably join something that has a pool because I absolutely can't exercise just for the sake of exercise. If I'm running, it has to be for basketball, ultimate frisbee, or something. Swimming is good because it's full body and if you don't do it you die hehe xd

Nope I just eat a lot less than I used to. It's not as bad as it was about a year ago. I got winded barely chasing around my little cousins in the backyard and felt fat and bloated as shit. Ever since college my activity level has dropped down like crazy. There was also that one time last summer I thought it was game over but it was just acid reflux

Frisbee on Wednesdays and Sundays sometimes >_>

Nope but I should look into it

Day 1 of my low carb diet

I saw a middle aged woman drinking a milkshake outside a Chick Fil A and had the urge to bite into her neck to try to get some of that sugar, but ultimately I was able to resist the temptation
---

Boy, you need to exercise. Dieting is useless without activity to burn calories. While I recommend hitting the gym, where you can get guidance from professional trainers, you can do a bunch of stuff at home. Itll keep you from feeling sluggish from your metabolism crashing from the shock of not eating what you used to.
---

Eat less and start lifting at an high intensity

Otherwise you will never lose weight
---

Jesus fuck, it doesn't take a magic diet. They don't work. Just eat healthier and exercise.

Bro Ill let you join me on my run tomorrow morning bro.
---

consistency and discipline is key

its actually very easy just takes a long time and dedication

mentally its hard but not physically

You'll always be fat

Other way around buddy

You cant outrun a bad diet

You need to consume fewer calories than you burn a day. You can lose weight without exercise.

1 hour on the treadmill can disappear with a Big Mac.

Diet to look good in clothing, exercise to look good naked.

I believe in you though, you'll look like 80s era Carl Weathers in no time!

Don't go on a diet. Instead make permanent changes to your eating habits. Gradually substitute the shitty food you eat with healthier food (no processed sugar). Don't worry about seeing results because you're in this for the long haul--the rest of your life.

I read and considered every single post itt except the one by MegaBully!

I already didn't eat that much except whenever I go out somewhere like once or twice a week. I've just been hovering around this weight. But I guess a lot of carbs was involved

And the love of my life alcohol

Practice intermittent fasting, impossible to not lose weight

Basically just skip breakfast

The dose makes the poison. quantify this shit. How many calories is each of those items?

This is strictly not true. Dieting (Or rather, improving your eating habits) is 90% of losing weight. Even a fairly vigorous workout can't come close to balacing out the calorie intake from a bad diet, and more insidiously, people who exercise without controlling their diet will often over-eat subconsciously because of the additional strain on their body.

Diet is everything for weight loss, exercise is for general health. Reducing calories are everything, but Intermittent Fasting and the Keto Diet are two well-tested "Diets" that can help lose fat by managing blood sugar level and insulin levels in your blood.

Count your calories. It opens yours eyes on what you are eating. Some things you eat just aren't worth it.

Height weight?
