/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yeah I'd also like to know.

Eat foods you like. Any diet that prevents you doing that is going to fail. Just manage your calories.

Did your doctor tell you to lose weight because you are clinically obese? You're probably angry because of low blood sugar. Do you eat too much sugar?

>>16749611
I don't have a doctor. I just want to lose about 10kgs. No, I don't usually eat a lot of sugar or desserts.

>t. 176cm - 82 kgs

Just make good food you enjoy while keeping a handle on the calories. Cut back on cheese and mayonnaise, use more mustard. Don't include unnecessary carbs or fat, make good use of acidity and salt. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Emphasize leaner protein for staying full.

Oh, that's the homestretch of weightloss. That's always kind of difficult because your body is nearing optimal equilibrium. Just lightly reduce calorie intake, add 200-500 calories of exercise per day, and let it happen over 6-12 months.

just took a huge shit and lost 4lb

I once was obsessed with body weight when I was trying to lose weight. One time I knew I was going to take a HUGE shit. I weighed myself before, then took a HUGE shit on a paper plate. I even weighed the giant turd on a triple beam balance. It was almost two pounds. The bullshit electric bathroom scale gave me the exact same weight even though I know I was two pounds lighter. Electric bathroom scales lie. I think they store previous weights in memory or something. I tried to trick it by putting one leg on the floor, holding the 2lb paper plate of shit, etc. But it never gave me my real weight.

OP I'm assuming you stopped eating like a lard ass, which is good. Your brain is accustomed to operating on a certain level of sugar, fat and salt. Since it is not depraved of those in large quantities, all of which (especially sugar) can be addictive. You are going through a form of withdrawal. This is very common, I myself also experienced this. Just keep pushing through.

scales have levels of precision.
a laboratory scale may measure down to a tenth of a milligram accurately.
that sort of precision costs thousands of dollars.
your bathroom scale costs probably 20$.
further, the precision of a scale depends on the total mass present.
a totally empty scale with 1 oound of stuff on it is less accurately measured than a scale with 50 pounds of stuff on it.
that is to say, going from 0 to 1 pound is harder to measure than going from 50 to 51 pounds, because of the way the spring compresses inside the scale.
tl;dr:
hold the shit in your hands and weigh yourself, then put the shit on the ground and weigh yourself.

>was almost two pounds.
Nigga, do you not know about measurement by difference?

(person with bowels full of shit) - (person with emptier colon) = (shit)

What's wrong, fren?

If you're still dealing with a blown-out stomach cabbage fills it up quick for not many calories- make yourself some coleslaw with just vinegar and herbs for dressing.

>wake up, shit, piss, weigh self naked
>161
>have a doctor's appointment, so I eat a decently sized breakfast, get my 2 glasses of water for the morning, and a cup of coffee
>get to doc's office
>get on scale
>172
I don't know which I should consider the more valid measurement.

Your children will always look up at the face of a man who has shat on a paper plate.
Well, judging by the story, there won't be any kids. We can only hope.

You can still eat what you like, just don't eat as much of it you fat bastard.

>>16749636
I mean at that weight you can still lose weight eating burgers, sandwiches, pasta, whatever you like as long as you're sensible

It wasn't an out of the blue experiment. Several times prior I had noticed my scale didn't register a difference pre and post-shit, hence the need to verify my scale was performing shenanigans. It was.

>>16749989
I did it for science.

>>16750196
I do my own science with verifiable, repeatable experiments. I do not trust the experts.

Gardenia fruits, used in Korean and Chinese cooking. Reduces appetite and clears a grumpy mood.

>>16750200
I have the hard data.

>>16750206
Don't do this it makes mustard gas

>>16749989
I once shat in bowl for over two week so I could smear it all over my neighbor's front door as a kid. not that weird bro.

>>16750196
Ignore the naysayers, plateshitanon, your scientific rigor is based and an example to us all

My goal this month is to take my favorite foods that I've been eating at restaurants and make it myself at home; that way it's both cheaper and healthier and I want to see how I feel emotionally about it.

5:2 diet is the healthiest and you still get to eat your favorite foods while getting the benefits of autophagy

just fast until not hungry
