I can't seem to lose weight unless I starve myself

[plasmicfury]

This sounds like it could be an underlying health issue such as toxic overload from poisons like amalgam (mercury) dental fillings, insulin resistance etc.

Should get yourself checked out to be sure brah

[Celltekk]

How long did you stick with it? Were you doing cardio during it as well? Lifting? Decent macros?

yes, read the thread

I lift like an animal, my diet is perfect and I do plenty of cardio

just a horrible metabolism

[209manny]

I'm kind of the same way, I only lose weight unless I'm eating about 1600-1800 calories and I weight 200lbs.

What helped me was doing a lot of cardio, I would swim hard for a long time until I was dead tired. Or I would go out and play soccer for hours. While sticking with 1800 calories and I average 1-2 hours of cardio I lose weight guaranteed, it sucks but it is the only way I can lose the weight.

Go out and play an intense sport and you will lose weight, try soccer or basketball.

I like to mix it up I'll try mountain biking,tennis,basketball,soccer I think doing different activities might help with weight loss more than doing a single activity

[djproof]

do people on this site not know how to read?

I have tried eating 2000 calories, 2400 calories. U name it Ive tried it


nothing works unless I starve myself

DUDE



play a sport, seriously, my bodytype is identical to yours. I've been trying to cut and lost a whopping 1 lb of fat from calorie restriction. Now thats warmer and no snow. I'm going to go play soccer and basketball to get back my abs.

[MrDURPEEDURP]

EC stack makes cutting easymode, yo.

This.

[KingOfChaos]

Bro, Endos like you and me were created to be work horses. Unlike these skinny ****s, we have to bust our asses all the time to lose weight and stay thin..and even then, we will probably never get down past 10% without starving ourselves. Good thing is, we hardly burn muscle even in a starving state.

why do I have such a monstrous appetite though?

my god, I can eat like a 3 lb steak and 4 burgers and feel 100% normal

[robwein83]

You need to eat more. 1700 calories for a 220 lb man? I eat 1600 calories and i'm a 5'4 asian girl. Seriously.

is asian too

[209manny]

lol @ swimming

don't do it though, I also get hungry as f*ck afterwards, but I'll just have my chicken breast with some bread and veggies and a sh*t load of water.


taking an EC stack helps me with appetite suppression, you should give it a try.

you can get ephedrine from primatene tablets at walgreens and caffeine from no-doz pills

post your exact diet from today

lol..yep...leptin is a bitch, ain't it? When your adipose cells stop manufacturing the **** because you're not eating enough, it makes it where you want to eat someone's face off. It controls food intake and energy expenditure by acting on receptors in the mediobasal hypothalamus. The more fat you have, the more leptin your body is used to getting. Making hunger pains more than just a little annoying.

[GoodShoot]

gotta cut the carbs plain and simple

carbs = insulin

insulin = fat storage

i don't know why everyone disputes this... it's so simple

[Random.Human]

its straight up genetics. Some dont believe it because its incredibly alien.

I can go the entire day without eating and feel completely normal and not lose weight.
I can go weeks at a time with ~1000 calories/day and feel great.

I weigh ~ 195 with moderate strength. I could see myself ~ 175 with a cut body


and if i want to, I can eat an extra large round table pizza with 1-1.5 pitchers of beer and feel fine

[King_of_Kings]

1500 calories isn't starving yourself woman.

man up and finish the job

[seven11]

OP i ****ing feel ya man. im in the same boat. i have to diet so ****ing little that i start obsessing about food, and dont give me that "selfcontrol bull****" because it gets so bad that i go pale in my damn face when i see junk food after not eating it for a while and thats all i think about when i see it.

[bigmane123]

i think op eats more than 1700 cals

[pumpkinale84]

bro the only way to lose weight is to adopt a proper diet. dieting only works when youre on the diet.

huh?

I eat 100% clean for most part

[pumpkinale84]

you said youre on a diet... thats why i responded that way. eat the way skinny people eat and youll get skinny.

[BiggerTommorow]

where are the pictures? The question is are you having trouble gaining muscle too? That would be a telling tale, if not then you just aren't going about it in the right manner because of a couple simple things. If your eating such low amounts per day, you are either losing muscle or losing fat (if you indeed bust ur ass off) Because you can easily burn 500-800 cals in just your workout alone (cardio+weights). if your actually eating 100% clean (if you know what the means even...) then I chalk it up to a troll thread.

[Backus24]

"clean" has nothing to do with how many calories you're actually consuming.

You will gain weight if you eat too many calories of plain boiled chicken and brown rice.


If you aren't losing weight, then you aren't eating too little. There is so much broscience in this thread I don't know where to start.

[martinezwallace]

I have a similar issue. I have to drop to 1800 cals - 1500 cals in order to lose a lb a week. Fuucking blows. What I do is drink a 100gr protein shake in the morning (500 cals), and try to go as long as I can on that. Once I get hungry I eat some veggies, but not much. Then in the PM (when you are most hungry) you basically eat a large plate of whatever the fuuck you want.

You get to go to bed on a full stomache = so much win when cutting.

no, I know how much I need to eat to lose weight, but the amount is so little that I feel like I'm starving a good portion of the day


that's the point of the thread

what do your days look like? I find im able to cut at 230lbs with about 2000-2500 cals a day. Its gonna depend on your lifestyle, jobs are so much different, the difference between a job where you sit the majority and where you stand the majority is probably 300+ calories alone, add in a little manual labour and its 1000+.

[SteelCrayon]

I have eaten every calorie range imagineable...NOTHING F*CKING WORKS UNLESS I STARVE MYSELF

jesus christ, how much clearer do I need to make this? I've been cutting for years (i'm an endo with large amount of muscle, I Just wanna get lean) and have experimented with every diet in the world

Well then starve yourself... You gotta do what you gotta do. I throw up post meal sometimes. Feels good. Lol jk

Alright. If you want to eat more, then you have to burn more calories than you are now to still be in a deficit.


Have you tried putting a large portion of your calories around your workout? That will allow you to have more energy to workout and workout harder.

Or just eat larger meals with the same calories at the end of the day but spread them out so you feel like you're eating more.

[Random.Human]

so u r an endo?

its hard to say as i'm 5'11 and 195. my body looks like I exercise somewhat routinely, because I normally lift ~3 times a week.

Its just odd that I require almost no food, and if I ever want to really lose fat I have to eat next to nothing and keep my routine. (i mean ~ 700 cals a day) Its freaky how my body works. I have a feeling you might be similiar.

Do you have weekly refeeds? If you are lean, you may need two refeeds per week. Try eating minimal fats, a little less protein, and mostly whole grains once per week, at or slightly above your maintenance.
