I did fast food and beer and almost zero activity for 6 months and wa la! I gained 30 fucking pounds. Took me 6 months to get back down to where i was before my mega binge by a combination of cooking all my meals, walking every day and some hiking, and a few weeks of OMAD. So hard to get started but much easier once you see results. I’d recommend logging your weight every morning, makes it easier not to relapse and lose your progress.

Make sure you're eating variety, my dude. Don't want to get scurvy or some other avoidable shit that retards get.

You can do it for 2 months. You can do it today. You can do it tomorrow. You can probably even do it an entire additional month. But you know full well you're not going to keep this up the rest of your life. Fat people gain back their weight eventually even after losing a lot of it through dieting. Been the same way with me in reverse. In my mid-thirties now and still skelly as fuck. Your body just keeps on gravitating back towards what it's used to.
>“You can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back,” said Traci Mann, UCLA associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study. “We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more. Sustained weight loss was found only in a small minority of participants, while complete weight regain was found in the majority.
>“Even when you follow dieters four years, they’re still regaining weight,” she said.
>Among those who were followed for fewer than two years, 23 percent gained back more weight than they had lost, while of those who were followed for at least two years, 83 percent gained back more weight than they had lost, Mann said.

>scurvy
Modern reports of scurvy in developed nations is clickbait bullshit. There isn't an actual objective "scurvy test," so any time you see an article about scurvy being more common than we think in young adults / college students the source is always some unscrupulous nurse or doctor who's trying to promote a book or an academic paper by sensationalizing low plasma vitamin C levels despite how those findings are known not to be indicative of a prolonged deficit, let alone of scurvy.
Also you can literally avert the possibility of scurvy for a relatively long time with as little as a single McDonald's ketchup packet. And there isn't even enough vitamin C in that for them to bother listing it in the nutrition facts label, so that should give you an idea of how retardedly extreme your eating habits would need to be to get scurvy in a developed country in the modern era.

Fuck this anon.
We know who make it and who doesn't. The people who think they can diet to lose weight, then go back to how they were eating before are the ones who gain it back. The people who make permanent changes to what they eat keep it off.
OP, you're going to make it. You do need to get off fast food sooner or later. But that doesn't mean don't do what you can when you can. I'm happy for you starting.

I did the 5:2 diet with everyone else here in 2014. I lost 30 pounds and got down to my perfect bidy weight.
It only took a few months and i dont have to work too hard to stay thin.
Once i relapse ten pounds i do omad or 5:2 for a few weeks till it comes back off.
I have only had to do this twice since 2014 but am about due to do it again.

How are you that bad at reading? This was specifically addressed in the same post you responded to:

Thats not the same. Skinnyfat here and it doesnt take much effort to stay thin only a proper diet not even sport. But i takes effort to stay swole or to get fat. I think gaining weight for us is harder than for them losing their weight. They are just the lazy piece of shit masses. Dont compare yourself to them.

Does it make a difference if it's something like 20:4 IF instead of OMAD?
My regular OMAD size meal is after I work out, but I have to have some oatmeal or something before I work out, I'm noticeably fucking weaker if I only ate 24 hours ago

Five days of normal eating a week, two days of fasting.
Any ratio mentioned on /ck/ or /fit/ that adds up to 7 is a weekly fasting regimen
Any ratio mentioned that adds up to 24 is a daily fasting regimen (ex. 16:8 is 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of an eating window)
