You know, when you refer to fat people as "lard overlords" you're fat shaming.
Anyway, let's not concentrate on the "fitphobic", let's concentrate on the movement trying to stop the people who are "fatphobic" that have created the modern standards of beauty. Do you think it's fair that fat people are seen as ugly? **** no. They're bullied and called ugly, and shamed. They try to show people their beauty, but they're rejected by society. Everyone is beautiful the way they are, but modern society only values the people who are skinny. Fat people deserve a lot more from society because of what they have to put up with, especially respect. That's what this movement is about.
It's disgusting how much this site fat shames, and then goes to shame the people who try to stick up for these poor people, really. Hate me for my opinion, but we all know it's true.
Beauty is subjective.
Most people's subjective ideas of beauty don't include people who can barely walk without gasping for breath.
Even without media, a person who is active and looks active will always be more attractive than a fat person who can't appreciate the beauty in taking a hike in the woods.
On top of that, medical studies have shown that obese men have lower levels of testosterone and more problems with erectile dysfunction, while obese women have higher levels of testosterone and more problems with ovarian cysts. Both of those lead to being less fertile.
fat people are sick...
they are legitematily sick
its our society that allows them to be fat
without our society youd straight up die if you are too fat
and people dont give a **** bout, ya know, chubby people...but fat people...for real...if you are more than 30 kg heavier than you should be than stfu. you know you are fat and ugly. just because you are not able to change it you cant just try justifying it by telling people their standards are wrong. **** you.
my standards are pretty damn right and you wont convince me of the contrary.
You know, instead of spending all that time making up all these *********** comments, you could get the results Chris Pratt is talking about. But hey, let's waste time here doing completely meaningless stuff for the sake of enjoyment when there way better stuff to seek enjoyment from.
I could be the anti christ but if I was overall ruler of the world I would make fitness and intelligence tests mandatory for life. Many of us may die, but the planet and species would prosper.
That sound... Like straining to fart, then the little squeek of a deer fart at the end. Lucky it wasn't a shart or it'd be more wet and noisy. I had been hoping for shart, I'd have laughed harder. <.<; Disappointment fills my life.
Still. Love your deer. So didn't read **** . I'm pic whore. Tell me to **** off for my TLDR and being a autistic retard, IKR.

You could always make a Tumblr troll account pretending to be a Vegetable-kin with a vore fetish, and get mad at fat people for not eating you.
Since you'd have a more powerful Snowflake card you could pull, you wouldn't be able to ve touched.
It's **** like this that got me off the couch again after about 5 years of being lazy and fattening up. It wasn't the cringe comps that showed all the strange overweight people, or the active disgust that the internet seems to have gained towards people who let themselves become these wasting mounds of flesh. The one thing that motivated me more than anything else to start working out again after all those years was the "fat acceptance" movement.
Before I started seeing them around, I just felt bad about myself. Dissapointed and disgusted at what I'd done with my body. When I first saw one of these lardmammoths posting about how beautiful they were because they were fat, all I could think about was how I couldn't tie my shoes without breathing hard, how a small flight of steps would take the wind out of me, and I realized that what I was doing, more than anything, was standing on their side.
I was so mad when I realized that. Absolutely ******* enraged.
Out of sheer spiteful hatred for the idea that people will actually tell you they're "beautiful" for becoming such wasted potential, I started running. The first night I went out for a run, I pushed myself until my nose started to bleed, and kept ******* going because of how sick it all made me. That was a couple months ago. It's only become better since.
Just yesterday, I was joining my parents at their church for a visit, and had to put on a suit my mother had bought me as a high-school graduation present. One which hadn't fit me in years. It fit me better than it did when she bought it. I had never felt that much pride in myself before.
So, if you read all this, and you find yourself having a little trouble getting motivated enough to go out and burn it up, just remember; you'll be shoving an Empire State Building-sized middle finger up the ass of every disgusting hump of grease who ever tried to tell the world to bow to their abominable definition of what beauty is, and that is the most poetic form of justice you can ever feel a part of.
**macrase used "*roll picture*"** **macrase rolled image**good on ya man, i think it doesn't matter what motivation you have, just that you have the motivation to do it and keep going
You know what's a more common term for 'fat phobia'?
Common sense. Being fat is unhealthy and people generally much prefer to hang with people who appear to be healthy
Here's a couple of really good general tips for being fit/healthy.
In my experience, I've found what I like to call 'fitness momentum.' In the beginning, working out is hard, motivation and discipline are hard to grasp at and the effort seems wasted if results don't come quick. But if you work out every single day, for at least a month, then you're gonna start to shave away at that lethargic/apathetic attitude and build yourself a better state of mind. You're gonna start wanting to work out and you're gonna start to miss it if you don't. This is good, don't let anybody convince you that being active every day is bad. You need off days to let your muscles rest, sure, but you can still be active everyday by biking/swimming/etc.
You can eat anything you want, but you have to watch portion sizes. You can eat ice cream, but since it's full of unneeded fat, you should only eat a bit. You can eat fries, but if you ingest that much salt and carbs in one sitting, you should probably eat less carbs for the rest of the day.
YOU NEED TO EAT. This is for all you skinny ***** out there who hold nearly the same energy as a fat person because you don't eat. Carbs and water are your energy sources, keep that in your mind, because if you think like this, you'll soon be able to grasp at how much you need to eat a day to lose weight/gain muscle. Fat is sort of a 'stimulant.' Testosterone is a lipid. Vitamin D is a lipid. lipids like these smooth out your growth and encourage your muscles to grow. YOU NEED IT, BUT YOU ALSO MAKE IT, SO DON'T OVERDOSE ON THAT CHOLESTEROL. Protein is the growth. You need to ingest enough protein to fix and rebuild your muscles, and for a normal person, that's about 75-85% of your total body weight. (e.g. 155 pound guy, eat ~120 grams of protein.) You can eat more than your daily needs, but it'll probably just turn in **** or farts (ever heard of protein farts?).
AVOID TRANS FATS LIKE THE PLAGUE. YOU DO NOT NEED THEM AT ALL, THEY ARE AN ARTIFICIAL SOURCE OF NOTHING AND THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN. Fat is hard to burn, Trans fats add to your natural fat like ******* salt to water. It's gonna take a lot of heat and exercise to burn that fat and it has 0 nutritional value ******************** .
The fastest way to truly burn fat is to cut out as much sugar from your diet as possible. No cokes, cakes, ice creams, or anything of the like. Don't even try your hand at diet drinks because aspartame can **** up the microcosm in your intestines (we don't have a lot of research on this yet but it's a pretty popular theory that's been circulating, drink at your own risk). Sugar feeds your fat, coaxes it to grow and stick onto your body like butter on wood. Just do yourself a favor and cut it out and you'll get to where you want to get much faster.
people always say that about diet drinks, i've cut sugar altogether but still drink alot of diet drinks (im addicted). Do you reckon its killing my gains? i've been bulking up just fine and i have no problems cutting, so i find it hard to believe any of the speculative evidence people say as i have found nothing even remotely concrete to prove it.
Diet drinks contain aspartame or sucralose. These are foreign molecules that are pretty big. They travel through our digestive system and we don't know how our gut bacteria reacts to them. You should drink at your own caution, but you ought to stop drinking them altogether because you need to wean yourself off that sugary taste anyway.
Listen, if you can drink diet drinks and be fine - with the results you want, then screw it... Keep drinking. If you, on the contrary, do not lose weight, then it is another thing to cut out to see if it helps. It won't kill your gains, but water is always better.
What happened to me was my friend introduced me to mountain biking. My first ride was pretty slow, but I had tons of fun. I waited for a year to get my own bike, but during that waiting period I was building up endurance, core strength, etc so when I get my bike I could ride it faster.
When I did get my bike the trail I rode felt very different from when I rode it the first time. It became a little bit more fun, and a bit more dangerous. The corners were slippery because I went faster, the downs more thrilling.
I also lost around 5 kg during the waiting period and also overcame my constant asthma attacks. Everytime I head out of the house I ride my bike now. Quicker too than public transpo.
I guess What I'm trying to say here is that if you don't want to work out just to get fit, maybe find an activity that you find hella fun that would motivate you to work out so you can perform better.
What about bread and milk? I have a habit of eating some slices of bread each day (a couple for breakfast, about the same at night) plus 2 big glasses of milk every day as well. Always wondered if that's good or not...
Wheat bread is awesome, nonfat milk is awesome. These are raw ingredients that you can eat right out the fridge, but make sure you're eating the right ones. Whole grains for them complex carbs and nonfat milk to cut off that saturated fat.
So, what if I want to eat, but can't? I have pretty bad eating habits already but recently I even ate less because of either simply not being hungry or finding an almost empty fridge for days, so my body just decided then it doesn't need food anyway. I'm not a big eater to begin with but now a small plate of pasta makes me so full I can't even look at food for hours. It only bothers me because I get tired pretty quickly (like 20 minutes of fast cycling and I'm tired).
I had some body image problems like some belly fat here and thicker thighs there but since this ridicolous eating habits I'm quite happy with the weight I have now so I doubt it's some subconscious anorexia thing.
So bleachboi over there knows his **** , but lemme throw in some amazing advice because I'm, unfortunately, an ectomorph as well and don't have an infinite amount of money to spend.
Capsaicin is your friend, so get a nice amount of spice in your diet, especially if it's from actual peppers rather than processed sauces. Capsaicin is an irritant, and as such causes your digestive system to flow a bit faster, increasing your appetite and moving food out of your stomach. It helps a lot to eat some early on so it'll effect you for a while.
NOW! On to the important part: the very annoying issue of needing to eat way too much but not having the money/food to do so. So, buy your stuff in bulk. Especially your vital things like beef and chicken and noodles or rice.
Also, here's a couple recipes that'll prove very cheep and get you some nice carbs and protein, at a fair price. (You'll need to make a bit of a shopping list for the various spices, but they'll pay off in plenty of recipes.)
Here's my mama's good ol' teriyaki sauce recipe. Mix this **** with anything that fits and you can make some nice meals outta some simple stuff.
Cup or so of water
Couple shots of soy sauce
Pinch or so of brown sugar
Sprinkle of ginger
If its too strong, add water. Too watery, add soy sauce. Too salty, add brown sugar. Too sweet, add ginger.
Here's a couple nice recipes with lots of protein and carbs.
Cook a **** ton of rice and a **** ton of ground beef and break up the beef into little bits as it cooks.
Put some salt and garlic powder on the beef.
Mix lots of teriyaki sauce into the beef when its done.
Poor that **** in the rice. Bam. Teriyaki meat and rice. Easy, tasty, and pretty damn cheap.
Here's another.
Cook some noodles (penne or bowtie, something small)
Cook 5 or so punds ground beef
garlic powder, ginger, salt pepper in beef
when beef is done poor a can or two of diced tomatoes (with garlic and oregano already in it)
Let it get hot
Poor that **** together
Bam, hot dish.
Here's one more, this one's nice and cheap.
Make some good ol' chicken top ramen.
Dice some chicken, put them in a skillet with some salt, water and lemon pepper, then cover
Put that **** in the noodles.
Bam, chicken pasta.
You can make some seriously nice stuff just with bulk meats and carbs by mixing the right spices and seasoning in it.
Milk IMO... gallons of milk... good cheap way to pile on calories, lactose for GI spike (milk is a strange /thing in that it isn't a high GI (glycemic index) but produces a high GI response.. not important for now though)
That's the main thing I tweak when cutting and bulking, if I want to bulk I add around 800 calories of whole milk, if I want to cut I remove it.
You are an ectomorph, and for that, I am truly sorry.
First of all, you need to learn how to gorge. You need to gorge yourself on something that is delicious, fatty, carby, and meaty. And for that I recommend pizza. For a very long time (6 months or so) you have to eat like and endomorph. For the first day you gorge, don't work out, just let your body get used to having a lot of food inside it. The next day, you're gonna not want to eat breakfast. ******* eat breakfast. Toast with eggs and bacon and avocado and loads of salt. It sounds unhealthy, and it is, but you need to push your body off that ectomorph status. Wait a couple hours after breakfast and work out. Work as hard as you can for as long as you can. If you don't work out a lot, you should only stay for about an hour, maybe less, it all depends on the energy you have on you. You just need to burn yourself out. Then you need to go home and eat some more. And then if you can, go out and get some sun and heat on you. At this point, your body is gonna want tot push a lot of testosterone in you, and if you've been eating right, then all you need is vitamin D to complete that process. Then go inside and take a hot shower, get your veins nice and dilated to circulate your nutrients, then eat again. Three square meals a day after that. For that entire first week, don't do any cardio. And if you must, let it be very light (e.g. walking). Eat as much as you can, you need to expand your stomach and get it used to eating so much. Work out as hard as you can every single day, you need to get your body used to lifting heavy and forcing your muscles to use that new-found nutrition. You don't really need to follow any specific routine, you just have to hit as much as you can (Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders, Chest, Upper Back, Traps, Lower Back, Lats, Glutes, Hamstrings, and Quads). You need to put in work and force your body to rid itself of any lethargy. Then, you need to figure out your full point and remember it, because if you've been gorging right, you're gonna want to get even fatter after that first week. Now, you need to create a balance. Three square meals and a workout routine. Eat right, eat big, and lift heavy.
Your comment made me want to puke with all that gorging , hot shower, and lifting heavy weights from the start to break the body from being ectomorph. It sounds suffocating like when it's ******* summer and there is no fresh air and humidity is at 100%.And forcefed. Our bodies aren't like a machine made of wires and tubes, give it a rest. Being healthy doesn't involve pushing it that far, and suddenly gorging is straining and annoying. Rather take a steady path with energy but certainly not exhaustion, and going on more everyday, and lifting heavy like you said when I would be fitter, it's not supposed to be drill sergeant adventure u_u, like , being ectomorph is the end of the world. But whatever row your boat. gorge
Portion sizes will be smaller, but if you want to pack on serious muscle you should still eat a lot and lift heavy.
If you just wanna get toned, then I suggest eating enough to hit your daily caloric needs (without working out) and then work out. That way, you're burning away fat that's near your muscles but still creating or preserving muscle mass.
Well then you can try and push yourself off that ectomorph status, but if you're just looking to be aesthetically pleasing then you can slowly work yourself into a better diet. Try to count your calories and eat a little more each day. Do a LOT of squats and lunges (booty is life) and for cardio just bike and sprint a lot. I'm gonna be real with you, it's a lot easier to look aesthetically pleasing if you're starting from the bottom up rather than trying to burn all that fat. You just need to slowly work yourself into a better state of body and if you can feel like it's easier to move, then you're already in a great spot. Eat healthy and work hard and you'll look super hot.
I'm not trying to replace his answer, but females should not train any differently than males. The whole "light weights for toning" stuff is ******** , girls need to progressively load weight in order for their bodies to adapt to that new stress accordingly just like males do - you will not get "big" like a giant UFC fighter due to the lack of testosterone in females.
Your body needs energy to be active. If you eat little, you can't muster as much exercise. Be very careful that you don't eat far too little, because then your body can go into starvation mode and your metabolism will skydive.
I wrestle at University and do resistance training along with it. When practices are on-going I'll have 8-10 hours of mat time and another 4-6 hours of gym time every week. I've still got a gut problem. I know why; it's my diet. I can, and have, made massive cuts to drop and make weight in the past. It's just between training and school, food is kind of a vice which makes it hard for me to make consistent and long-term changes.
I don't really need my vices, but they're hard to break. It's not just an aesthetic issue either; this giant blob of fat hinders my ability to compete for multiple reasons.
Have any advice on gathering the willpower to make a strong long term plan and how to stick to it?
Oof, this is a rough situation. I get where you're coming from because I've had to heavy bulk before and learning how to cut fat was much more difficult than bulking or building muscle.
This is a mental game, not a physical one, keep that in mind. Just as how there's a mind-muscle connection, there's a mind-gut connection. You need to be able to tell yourself that you don't need as much food as you eat, which is the hardest step to make. It's easy to rationalize eating a whole rack of ribs or gorging yourself on X many slices of pizza when you know you're gonna be burning at least 8000 calories a week just from exercise alone. The first thing you need to watch is your fat intake. Since you're chubby, you already have a big fat source. As you work out and burn, your fat melts and feeds into your bloodstream. This does two thing: ups the fat in your pores/sweat/urine (get ready to have some acne) and increases the amount of cholesterol in your body. I'd say it's best to cut out all cholesterol from your food (no egg yolks, no beef/pork), but that's taking the hardest and fastest road to abs. You can do it, it's certainly plausible, but it's gonna be harder to derive protein from other sources like beans and chicken and seafood because it's all just so bland. But you gotta do it, limit yourself to as little cholesterol as you can and your body will forcefully deplete your fat reserves to create testosterone. Also, go outside, can't make testosterone without vitamin D.
This is another super hard ******* step and it took me so long to stick with it. Sprint.
I'm not telling to jog like a pussy or burn all your lower fat reserves by long distance running, I need you to ******* sprint. This is not cardio, this a lift, and you have to treat it like a lift or else you're going to fail. First, you gotta learn good sprint forms. Start low and focus your mind on your glutes to create propulsion. Sprint for about 50-100 meters, anywhere withing that range, and make sure you're stretching your legs to create perfect glute extension and curling, kind of like a bicep. start off slow, 3 sets of sprints and work your way up. Try to mimic baseball players because their sprints are pivotal to their career.
Sprinting strips all the ******* fat from you and forces your abs up to balance yourself. It's not only a heavy glute exercise, it's a heavy abs exercise. It forces your body to create the optimal shape for itself so you can create the most powerful propulsion. This is something that I would recommend to a bodybuilder, but have caution, because I have no idea how it'll work for a wrestler. You guys use a ton of core and back power to subdue your opponent and in my head, sprinting is a way for your abs and legs to work in conjunction to create a powerful connection between two muscle groups, so it would make sense to me that it'd help a wrestler, but this is just my logic. You gotta try it for yourself, and if it doesn't work, then you don't have to follow through. It's hard and it's a lot more difficult than sheer running because sprinting is something most people aren't designed for; most people are designed to run long distance. But a tiger's legs are a pair of the most powerful legs in the animal kingdom, stronger than kangaroos probably, and that's because they sprint to catch their prey. They're huge and powerful, and their legs show that.
TL;DR Eat less, have conviction, I know you can do it. And sprint. A lot.
You're overall advice is great and I'm no professional, I just have a nerdy hunger for fitness info and have lifted for 6 years. I just wanted to contest the low dietary cholesterol thing. It's an old wives tale/now debunked that eating cholesterol increases bloodstream cholesterol.
Of course, but that doesn't mean you should eat like 50 grams of it a day. The cholesterol needs to go somewhere and it's probably better to not overload your body with unnecessary cholesterol. Sat fats and cholesterol are only good to make testosterone, if you're already over your daily limit, you either burn the cholesterol/sat fat or you store it, and I'm not really risking that.
Fair does - just get alarm bells if I think people advise not consuming cholesterol but I can see from another comment you say a few eggs a day are fine.
This is a moderation thing, I said 50 grams of cholesterol is bad, and cutting out cholesterol altogether is probably pointless. You can eat it, but 10-15 grams of cholesterol and 20-30 grams of sat fat is probably enough.
I've started the chicken and rice diet multiple times and gave up on it far too soon haha. I didn't know Vitamin D had that effect, I'll try and increase my intake; a physician recently recommended I increase my consumption through supplementation literally because I'm brown skin. Obviously not a racist thing, just how physics works
I have a trainer for my resistance sessions so we usually do sprints under his supervision in the mornings. I've got the exercise portion down pat; you really can't get any more catabolic than a wrestling practice. I appreciate the advice though, my form still needs a hell of a lot of work. About sprints being good for wrestling, they're amazing, the explosive work and anaerobic training goes a long way. We do sprints in the mornings, followed by a lifting session usually involving one olympic lift, one or two powerlifts, and the rest auxilary. On top of that we have practice 4-5 days a week. Then I also go on extended bike rides and add on some extra auxilary work on my own time. I'm filling up my schedule with more than enough exercise, but also more than enough taquito's.
It really is a diet thing for me. I've done huge things to change it in the past to make weight, but I seem to have lost my former motivation; even in those cases though, the changes didn't really last past my weigh in date. Your diet advice is really good though, I honestly appreciate the help. I think I just gotta tough it out and focus on what I want more. Thanks man, have a brilliant day.
The diet is all you man, you know what you need to do and there's nothing I can say that you don't already know. The willpower and proportioning of your food are the hardest parts but you just gotta learn to stop eating. Good luck man.
Can you tell me a basic cardio program? When I was younger I could run for 10 minutes without stopping, but now I'm fat and can't run for a minute. How do I fix this? Everything I do seems to not help, running, swimming, biking, jump rope, walking.. Tried it all but I've never seen any improvement.
I'm currently losing weight (I'm a little under 230 right now, was 250 when I started.) I couldn't run more than 400 meters (one lap) without needing to slow down and walk. But I remembered what everybody said about just taking it day by day so that's what I've been doing. 3 months later and I've just gotten back from the gym (yeah I know it's late) were I ran my mile in 12:26. It's not that fast sure, but 3 months ago it was taking me 20 minutes to do it. You just gotta keep it at man, do it everyday for as long as you can no matter how much it hurts because I can tell you something I've learned: It's not about "Can I do it?" It's about "Will I make myself do it?"
If you're too fat to run, you need to eat so much better than you currently do. It's not really the running itself that you have a problem with, it's all the extra weight that you're holding on to. For me personally, I don't like running that much. I'll run for like 30 mins or so at a slowish pace one day a week, but other than that, I find that I burn fat a lot faster with heavy lifting.
To be honest, I don't think you should run. I think you should lift and sprint.
The two biggest parts to losing weight are eating right and exercise. You gotta lay down a strict regime for your daily meals and then you can focus on making a workout routine. I'll eat only healthy meats (good cuts of beef, tuna, salmon, and sometimes chicken), and I'll incorporate a lot of veggies and good carbs into my diet. Carrots, peas, broccoli, lentils, black beans, kale, there's a lot to choose from. You have time, that's a given, so use it to your advantage and learn how to cook and make delicious healthy food. You don't need to eat salads everyday, in fact, you only really needs a cup of veggies a day. I eat rice with almost every meal and that lets me really control how much carbs I'm getting (about 200-250 grams a day). Eat clean and the fat will strip itself.
My workout regime is weird and any gym buddies I made never liked it.
Sunday - Heavy legs (squats, legs press, leg curls, lunges) frequency for lunges and heavy on everything else, this should knock out legs for a week
Monday- Heavy chest (start with bench press and alternate between flys and presses for a good stretch)
Tuesday - Heavy shoulders (Shoulder press are my favorite exercise, I always feel like Atlas when I'm at the top) 12-15 lb dumbells for rear/lateral/front raises.
Wednesday - Abs and Sprints (I like to do a kind of circuit, decline crunches, legs raises, side jacknife crunches, repeat for 3 sets each, go for frequency) Sprint for a good 10-15 secs at the very end of your ab workouts, this really works to burn away that stomach fat for me, because it forces you to use your abs more after you've already isolated them.
Thursday - Heavy back (I don't **** with deadlifts, too much risk for reking upper back) do loads of rows and back flys (light, this exercise is all about form) bent-over barbell rows and one-side dumbbell pulls are great
Friday - Shoulder and Abs touch up (light shoulder press high reps 8-12) repeat the ab circuit again
Saturday is a good rest day, but that doesn't mean you can't do light cardio. Swimming is THE best cardio. Light on your entire body and relieves a lot of pressure from your joints. It's a great stress reliever and there's just something special about getting that cardio endorphin rush in the water. Biking is great, don't ******* go on a machine, you need to set a goal for yourself and just go until you reach that goal, you can't have an easy out. But if you're real, you'd just dedicate this day to sprints. ******* god I love sprints. Just understand that sprints force your create the perfect optimal shape and it's so aesthetically pleasing to see a body that's made to chase down a ******* gazelle. 10 sets of sprints 50-150 meters should rek you. Make sure you spread them apart and drink a lot of water. Water is energy, energy is water, drink it, use it, burn fat.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me, I'm gonna start small like >>#100 did, cause that sounds like something I can do. But once I feel comfortable with my progress, I'm gonna take on your fitness regime. It sounds solid and if it's working for you it can work for me too
I've recently started cycling, so doing that almost everyday now for 4 months or so. Eitherway, to get to my point: I'm just 17 and of course live with my parents, and right now I*m eating a lot of microwave food (Seeing as it's easy to get, and easy to prepare). Is that bad? Should I start asking my parents for something different, perhaps even start cooking food? Generally I try and eat a big breakfast, one microwave dinner for lunch and dinner consists of a big bowl of yoghurt/cereal.
Also, I've actually completely stopped drinking O'boy (I would actually drink 2 cups each day, yeah...) and instead drink a lot of water. Anything else you think I could replace from a standard diet and that I should focus on?
Cook. Learn how to cook before you get to college (or leave the house) because it is just a huge pain to learn how to cook while stressing out about the strain on your wallet. Greek yogurt is my go-to snack, eat that **** . Microwaves are only for reheating and defrosting food, learn how to cook food and use a microwave only for leftovers. You're still in high school, probably, so you have almost a year. Don't be afraid to tell your parents that you want to learn how to eat healthy and experiment on foods you want to eat. It sounds scary, doing something that your parents have done for you for 17 years, but I bet your mom would be more than willing to help you. Besides, you need to learn how to cook anyway, you can't eat microwave dinners for the rest of your life. Plus, boys/girls love anybody who can cook.
You gotta look for it on the package man. Trans fats are artificial, so you won't find them in any raw meats or veggies or the like, and a lot of products don't have them, but you should always check the label anyway.
"You're gonna start wanting to work out and you're gonna start to miss it if you don't."
Can I say something here?
I was fat. Like, 100 KG fat, and I decided to lose weight via diet and exercise.
I exercised every single day, Sunday ~ Saturday, without giving up.
However, not once have I liked it, or "couldn't live without it". In fact, I despised those 30~40 minutes spent working out so much, I had to drag myself out of my bed every single day for over 3 months.
Yes, I lost 33 KG in the end of those 3 months, and I loved it, but boy did I suffer horribly along the way. I cursed myself for making me go through this ordeal.
So no, what you said isn't true for everyone. You either like working out, or you don't.
If you try it and you don't like it, you won't like it. Period.
Well for me, I only started to love it once I could visibly see my stomach getting slimmer and my muscles getting bigger. I made it a strict habit and went to the gym every single day like you did and once I got lean, I started loving it. I guess it is a person to person case, but most of the people I know who love are super lean/muscular and have great genetics. I don't know man, you just gotta do it regardless if you want that body.
Why you got a red thumb? You said exactly what I said:
Every person has it differently...
I, too, enjoyed watching my stomache reduce in size over time, and that's also the main reason why I kept on working out, but as I said before: Never once have I enjoyed the process itself. Just the results.
Compare it to being sick. You need to drink a disgusting, bitter medicine and get a shot every day. Will you enjoy it? Probably not, but in the end you'll be healthy, and everyone enjoys being healthy!
Leafy greens are great for general nutrition and vitamins, but you can replace them for store bought vitamins. Keep in mind that vitamins from real greens is always a lot better than anything else.
Broccoli, carrots, green beans/peas, and mushrooms are great sources of nutrition that you should always keep on hand. Peas and mushrooms can be added to a lot of savory dishes to add some simple flavor. Steamed broccoli is a fast and easy fiber that you can add to most meals on the side. And roasted carrots are heavenly; add some rosemary and olive oil to them and roast until they're soft and beautiful.
I used to make this super fast meat thing with ground beef, garlic, onions, eggs, and Korean barbecue/Worcestershire sauce. Marinate the beef with the sauce for a little bit; fry the onions in oil until they're pungent and yellow but not brown; brown the beef; add in eggs and onions to make a sort of egg/beef coagulate; eat with rice (I'm Asian so I always have rice on hand). It's not super tasty but it's fast and easy to make and it gives you a ******* of protein. Add sriracha for flavor if wanted. Oh, and garlic salt makes everything awesome.
There is hardly a difference between brown and white rice. I don't really see the benefit of brown rice other than the one gram of fiber more per serving; it tastes awful and chewy and it's just not worth it for me.
Experiment! You're gonna be cooking a lot in your fitness life, so you ought to try new spices and herbs in your food. Look up good recipes. Just make sure you stay away from butter drowning your meats and try to use as little oils as you can without burning your food. Olive oil can be used in everything, but keep in mind the fat content is exactly the same. It's just a bit tastier and healthier, but it's worth it to me.
Remember that it's okay to splurge once in a while. It's better to eat a bit more than you need to and then go super hard in the gym to pay it off than you eat less you should and lose energy afterwards. Carbs are needed, don't shy away from them. Protein is required, eat more than you can if you can. Fat and sugar are your top enemies. Ration them whenever you can, but understand that fats are required for growth. Sat Fats are required to build testosterone; poly/mono unsat fats are great for vascular health, which you should definitely watch for if you want them sexy veins.
TL;DR Don't be afraid to eat, but know that you gotta compensate for it in hard work.
So I'm in school and currently I wake up around 6:50 AM in order to eat breakfast and not be late. I've never actually had anyone give me a definitive answer on a healthy breakfast. Eggs seem like common sense but I've heard that egg yolks are okay a few times a week but it's too much cholesterol otherwise and that the whites are what you want. That's just one example but is there really anything healthy or at least just not unhealthy that can be made/eaten in a short amount of time?
Egg yolks are completely fine. They do contain cholesterol, but as long as you're not eating a dozen a day, you're totally fine.
I eat eggs almost every morning. I put green onions, onions, mushrooms, and if I have some leftover meat, I chop it up, refry it with garlic, and make a nice omelet out of all of that. I'm lactose intolerant, but I take lactose pills and add a bit of milk to it too. You can add all sorts of things to your eggs: spinach, chili pepper, avocados (on top and after the eggs cook), sriracha, soy sauce (but only for really good savory eggs; they enhance flavor, but if there's nothing to enhance, it's just a salty mess), dried chicken or pork bits, and garlic is always good with everything savory.
If you want something super fast, drink protein shakes. If you wanna get really creative, you can make a shake with milk, oatmeal, peanut butter, and coffee. Sound gross, tastes pretty...gross, aha. If you do this, which I don't, you gotta find a good balance between the ingredients. I don't doubt this could taste super good, but you have to find the right ingredients to put in and find a good balance to it all.
If all that fails, just eat some toast with peanut butter and/or beans and some quick steamed greens.
Never take vitamins, you're wasting your money, a vitamin C tablet will give you 4000% of your recommended daily allowance of ascorbic acid (vit c) so you poop out nearly all of of it. Total waste. A normal healthy diet will give you all the vitamins your body needs. If you want to build muscle, supplements help (creatine will help in ATP production *energy*), eat lots of protein for muscle bulking. For straight up weight loss, eat less calories and exercise more.
if youre fat and accept it, and want to improve i have sympathy and id help you if you want it.
if youre fat, and either dont accept it, or you do accept it, but don't want to do anything about it, you are scum. you are a drain on resources and a beacon of ill dicipline, and laziness.
and whats wrong with being fat? and before you say anything yes im fat and i accept it , yes i know its bad for my health but you know what idc there a million things today that are bad for you're helth but we still do it, why? cuz its fun, its enjoyable and if you are okay with it then i say god bless you
its abd ebcasue you are a drain on resources, in my country we have the NHS, and obese people cost the NHS alot of money, money which couldve been used on cancer patients, or Alzheimers, proper illnesses,
but no we have to spend about 8 billion pounds per year treating lardarses who dont have the self dicipline to eat right, its disgusting how someone can be fat and happy with themselves, thats like an anorexic being happy with their malnuritioned body, or a self harmer being happy with a cut up body. its all self abuse, and to be okay with it is retarded.
okay i agree with you on that matter its stupid to include people with diabetese in that program in essence u'd have to include like u said aneraxics, ppl who injure themselves and such i don't think we really have a such a program here in the US but that said theres really no problem with being fat because in essense food is just like people who smoke or dirink at first its just minor issues (shortness of breath or bad health) even if you're skinny and fit it'lll take its toll over the year and in the end theres a lot of stuff that'll kill you over the years as well its just learning to moderate and stay on some level
a physically fit man/woman, has worked ahrd for their body, theyve put work, dedication, and effort into being fit and healthy, cotnrary to obese woman belief, people arent born fit. you have to have the dicipline to not eat comfort foods, if you think healthy people dont get massive cravings for fried chicken and cake and marshmallows and cookies, you're dead wrong. the difference is they have the willpower to say no to hemselves and go eat healthy foods
to be fat, one only needs poor attributes. fatness or obesity is evidence of laziness, andpoor self dicipline
well see thats the thing you want to be fit you want to be able to feel good about yourself all the time you want to feel like you're doing good for you'self and take pleasure in it
well guess what you can be fat and still do those things but guess what were okay with it we feel good about ourselves when we do it and happy with our lifestyles yeah we can say no but guess what were happy we just don't feel like we need to put effort into something that just gonna cause us discomfort and for hwat so we look better?
now if you're unhappy and complain and bitch and moan i can see where you're coming from those are the people who are lazy and poor they see problems with themselves andwon't do **** thats where i understand you but not all fat people are like that were okay how we are and happy being it
not jsut so you look better, its more just because youll likely develop very uncomfortable illnesses, which will dibilitate you, and also again cost the NHS to take care of you, so i as a tax payer am paying for your fatass to get treatment for something you wouldnt have if you simply excersied a bit
i dont do fitnedd to feel good, i do it because i want to be healthy i want to have good health, i dont want to be in hospital getting medicated for diabetes. I want to be able to go play football at 40 without nearly collapsing because im too fat to run.
being fat isnt something to be happy about, thats like shooting your own foot and saying "im okay with this" youre harming your own body, youre not okay, the fact that you are okay with being fat shows you have no regard for yourself at all, and if you dont even care about your own body then why should anybody else?
