/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Start working out, get tips from /fit/.

If she is really supposed to be japanese, why are her eyes so round?

>>4864104
You have obviously never seen anime.

at least your waifu isnt a magic obsessed monster like mine yet

Enjoy your training arc, OP.

I wonder what Reimu and Marisa's boyfriends would think if they knew they go out and beat demons.

/fit/ is a bunch of douches, though. Seriously, anyone, especially someone from /jp/, going there asking for tips on losing weight will only get laughed at and shoved into some internet locker.

My tips:
- GO OUTSIDE! Yes, this will be the hardest part. Nothing strenuous, just go walk around for about 30 mins DAILY. When you're comfortable with that, bump it up to 1 hr. a day (even worse, but if you want to get better, do it)
- Fuck changing your diet, just drink more water, especially before eating. Not only does it help remove toxins and other shit you get from junk food and fatty meals easier from your system, it helps proportionate those meals so you actually eat less. Not to mention, if you live on fast food, doing this tip will save you some cash when you learn to start ordering lesser sized meals.
- NOW, you go ask /fit/ how to "tone/bulk up". They'll gladly help pump *clap* you up!

Hope this helps. She'll be waiting for you!

Is that you, George?

>>4864229
If your diet consists of snack and fast foods, you better as fuck change that shit. Seriously.

good tip, especially the walking part. strange thing is, I'm a really fast runner on 100-400m, but walk like a hunchback retard. I mainly just swim so I don't have to deal with strain my overweight body puts on my ankles & knees.

>>4864229
I'm a very sedentary guy, and I'm in pretty good shape.

mai tips:
1) weight lifting (a few repetitions every day)
2) consume fewer calories than you expend. (hurr)
3) try not to eat before going to sleep (durr)
4) drink plenty of water
5) obey

How to lose weight the easy way, from a /jp/er to /jp/ers:

1. Exercise will not make you lose weight. It helps build muscle and endurance and so forth, but it's not how you lose weight. Not that you shouldn't do it, of course.

2. Drop all sugary drinks. Not just soda--juice, too. Diet soda is fine, but water is amazing. Milk is probably good too, since it has a lot of fat and protein.

3. Don't eat any rice, pasta, or bread.

4. Don't keep any snacks in your room. Make it so that it takes _effort_ to go eat something, so you're less likely to grab food on a whim.

5. Cut down the number of meals per day and adjust your sleep patterns accordingly. I went down to 2 from 3. Note that you generally cannot avoid eating after you wake up, at least I can't: wake up just before you intend to eat your first meal (for me, lunch).

I lost 12 pounds in my first 9 days (I basically ate meat and vegetables only). It slows down a lot after that, but if you stick to it, you'll eventually be a skinny bastard like those dicks with ridiculous metabolisms who never get fat despite scarfing down entire pizzas and never exercising.

NB: Sugars and carbs primarily get burned by exercise. The less you exercise, the more you have to focus on eating less of them.

>>4864349
>2) consume fewer calories than you expend. (hurr)

This doesn't actually work in the way you'd think it would. The equation is:

Calories burned + weight gained = calories eaten

But "calories burned" isn't a constant, even if you don't change your amount of exercise. The primary gotcha is that if you eat a lot of carbs/sugar, particular at the same time, your body produces a ton of insulin to try to resolve the problem. This stores the sugar as fat, and in the meantime, turns off your metabolism. That's why you feel really tired after eating tons of starchy food.

tl;dr stop eating so much bread, eat animals.

>>4864350
>3. Don't eat any rice, pasta, or bread.
>pasta

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'd rather not die from malnutrition than lose weight.

How to lose weight:
- Subscribe to ronery grindan game of your choice.
- Well I should probably take a break from grindiHOLY SHIT I DIDN'T EAT IN 3 DAYS

>>4864393

The reason people are fat is _because_ of malnutrition.

If you eat properly and eat when your body wants to, you won't gain weight.

>>4864350
Meat + Vegetables only diet is top tier.

Been on it for a week and a half, and I lost 5 pounds. And a good amount off my face.

So is eating potatoes (baked or boiled, of course) allowed?

>>4864350
And if you eat tons of fruits, that's actually also bad for losing weight. Tons of carbohydrates+sugars. Berries are fine though (especially blueberries). While you're losing, try to take vitamin supplements for the stuff you lose by not eating fruits.

Some nuts are okay to snack on. There's some popsicles and ice cream that have no sugar added as well with no carbs and a low calorie count.

1. Cutting the soda from my diet
2. Not eating right when you wake up, trying to go as long as you can without eating
3. Eating one gigantic meal per day with another small one or larger dessert some time later in the day
4. Not eating a few hours before going to sleep

Can't be all that good for you, but I've lost quite a bit of weight since I started eating like this.

>>4864372
well, It has worked for me so far.

and you don't have to stop eating bread, you have to eat a reasonable amount of it.

well, cya /jp/.

Squats and oaks OP.

This might sound hard to believe, but try doing sports that you may enjoy. I lost a lot of weight just practicing basketball at some court near my house.

Nobody else would play with me though ;_;

>>4864429
Nope.

>>4864372
>tl;dr stop eating so much bread, eat animals.

I really don't think it's the bread. It's probably the forty daily Snickers bars and seven pizzas.

>>4864449

Nuts are _amazing_. They're almost pure fat and protein and taste addictive.

I personally love these honeyed cashews I can get down at the college shop: they're something like 200+ calories in a tiny bag, about 1/5 from sugar, the rest from protein and fat.

>>4864468

Contrary to popular belief, most people who are fat are not massive gluttonous hogs.

Just some of them.

>>4864461
That's the main thing preventing me, no one to play sports with really ;_;

>>4864383
Buy lots of cheap hamburgers/hotdogs/wings/sliced meats instead. No buns though.

Ramen will not help you lose weight.

>fitness thread
Back to bun, normalfaggots.

>>4864440
Only 1 and 4 are good for you, dude.

You need to have a hearty breakfast. It will keep you energized throughout the day and you'll be less likely to eat junk food early. Also, eat small meals and/or have healthy snacks often. You'll feel less sluggish as you probably would after a huge meal.

>>4864483
pistachios(sp?) are god tier nuts.

Holy fuck are they tasty.

>>4864440
Eating only one giant meal is bad, you should eat a bunch of really small meals, that way your body doesn't have to save anything, because you're going to eat again in a small time

Mostly just reiterating what's been said already, but here's what worked for me. I'm just a pretty average /jp/ nerd and it didn't take a huge amount of effort.

-Cut out snacks. Seriously. If you're going to watch anime and feel the need to eat out of habit, just drink a glass of water instead.
-Eat healthy, balanced food. This shouldn't be a problem if you still live with your parents.
-Don't worry too much about reducing quantity, just don't snack after meals.
-Exercise! Even with 30 minutes a day you will be dropping the weight very fast. Jogging around town is great. Don't be embarrassed - don't worry, no one gives a shit.
-If you can persuade a friend or acquaintance to exercise with you, excellent! Motivation is the biggest hurdle to getting in shape, it is much more pleasant to share the experience with a bro.
-If you have a bike, I highly rate cycling as an exercise form. It's low impact, great fun, and works almost all of your muscle groups. Again, even 30 minutes a day will show an improvement.

>>4864406
Fuck what my body wants, I'm too busy THINKING!

I highly recommend eating (dry roasted) peanuts if you must snack. I fucking love those. Also try biking. If anything, seeing the distance I cover makes me feel all neat inside.

>>4864498
Who said NEETs can't stay in shape?
Hell, who said hikikomoris can't?

Eat more slowly. Often people eat so quickly before they realize they're full they've had about twice as much as they need. Make your meals last 15-25 minutes instead of 5.

Drink water, fucktons of it.

Stop drinking soda.

>>4864461
I'd play with you if I lived nearby. I don't know anyone to play baseball or basketball with so I just go to the cages/court on my own. ;_;

>>4864464
Fuck, potatoes are the one thing that is going to be hard to give up. Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatos...
GODDAMMIT

See a registered dietitian and ignore anything /jp/ says.

>>4864548

I know, it doesn't help that I'm going to be having a baked potato for dinner in an hour.

So nuts are okay to snack on? Don't they have a shitload of fat? Last time I checked, a full serving of peanuts had 15-18g of fat.

Also, a tip for /jp/, eat lots of fiber! Keeps you full for much longer until your next meal.

Not OP, but how could I go about losing body fat without losing too much weight?

>>4864521
>sports
>hikikomori
I'm not sure if you're a retarded troll or just retarded.

>>4864603
>Fat

Fat doesn't get you fat. Misleading.

>>4864513
>-If you can persuade a friend or acquaintance to exercise with you, excellent! Motivation is the biggest hurdle to getting in shape, it is much more pleasant to share the experience with a bro.

This. Having to do exercise alone is the main reason why people stop doing it. If you can't get someone to exercise with, then at least make sure you have some good music with you while you do it.

>>4864526

i don't drink that much water and i drink plenty of soda and i still don't get fat. your advice is bullshit.

daily 10-15 min exercise is a must. your body needs to be actively burning calories otherwise the fat will build up in your body in time.

also, less consumption on carbs and meat. don't eat junk food everyday.

>>4864615
Sports aren't the only way to exercise. There are some exercises that can be done in your own home. Hell, even getting a treadmill can help.
Its not that hard to get in shape without leaving your house.

>>4864630
>i don't drink that much water and i drink plenty of soda and i still don't get fat. your advice is bullshit.

Spot the logical fallacy!

>>4864630
>i don't drink that much water and i drink plenty of soda
>and i still don't get fat. your advice is bullshit.

>hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

>>4864603

Read http://higher-thought.net/complete-notes-to-good-calories-bad-calories/ . It's the tl;dr for what is a rather good book on the topic, but which most of /jp/ probably doesn't have the patience to read.

A lot of "diet facts" that people assume are not merely bullshit--they were practically never backed up by any scientific studies to begin with.

Fat does not make you fat.
Salt does not (significantly) raise your blood pressure.

And so forth.

So no rice, pasta, potatoes, etc, what the shit do I eat for side dishes? Just vegetables?

How do you cure insomnia?

>>4864671

Atkins has some good guides, though it has all the usual flaws of a "commercial diet". For example, you don't need to go into all the retarded carb-counting they do.

>>4864671

you can still eat that stuff but don't eat too much of it.

>>4864655

butthurt fag. you need a bit of chemicals to stimulate your body dumbass.

>>4864669
Holy shit, that's a pretty good resource, thanks.

>>4864689
Isn't that the diet that you remove carbs from your diet? And then they have a ridiculous "net carb" system?

>>4864698

You don't have to fucking drink a pound of sugar while you're at it.

What's with the fat people advice, isn't everyone here like 180cm and 60some kg?

>>4864700

Atkins is basically "drop to 20g of carbs a day, then slowly add carbs until you reach equilibrium".

The approach is generally right (most people eat wayyyyy too much carbs), but the counting is really not necessary.

>>4864706
I'm 40 kg, but I have some (scratch that, a lot of) flab. Shit sucks, man.

>>4864712
>40kg

What the fuck

>>4864716

He's a midget.

>>4864706
Add a bit of sparkles and bubbles and /jp/ is a shoujo harem.

181cm and 78kg here. Was 87kg before I started losing some weight. Not absurdly fat, but bad enough that I decided to reverse the trend before it got any worse.

>>4864706
No, I'm actually 181cm and 59kg ;_;

>>4864706
I'm 6'1 170 and I gave the advice mentioned in >>4864440

>>4864689
>Atkins has some good guides,

No he doesn't. Atkins is wrist-cutting insanity and you need fistfuls of supplements to even SURVIVE any prolonged Atkins diet.

Lowering carbs is fine. But not lowering them to 2% of your daily intake like he recommends.

>>4864718
I'm 170 cm, but almost there.

>>4864350
>I lost 12 pounds in my first 9 days (I basically ate meat and vegetables only). It slows down a lot after that, but if you stick to it, you'll eventually be a skinny bastard like those dicks with ridiculous metabolisms who never get fat despite scarfing down entire pizzas and never exercising.

That's me. Feels good man

78kg is still on the heavy side.

>cm
>kg

How the fuck do i gain weight?

(INB4: EAT FOOD)

I eat plenty of protein heavy foodstuffs.

>>4864743
Then use a converter. I'm assuming most people in this thread are metricfags anyway.

>>4864743
We're using the superior systems, that's all.

>>4864706
I'm 180cm and 60 some kg.
And it won't change no matter how much I eat

>>4864747
Train your muscles.
They're heavy things.

Actually the biggest annoyance for me is that the six meals I eat a week make it hard to build muscle. I spend quite a lot of effort for not much.
I still feel like I'll turn into a fat weak fuck if I don't exercise.

>>4864726

Atkins recommends around 40-50g of carbs per day (once you're done losing weight). That's about 200 calories, or 10-20% of your diet. Not 2%.

>>4864747

If you have a metabolism that makes it impossible to gain weight via eating, you have to build muscle to gain weight.

>>4864742

It is. My eventual target is around 60kg. Shit's going to take a long time, man.

I don't use the silly metric system, but converters tell me that I am
173 cm
52 kg

>>4864776
>metric system
>silly

>>4864776

52kg? Are you female, or just built like a fucking stick figure?

>>4864798
Second one. I've never been able to gain a pound by eating in my life, and I also run.

>>4864798
It's not that light.

>>4864798

I'm 178cm tall and 54kg, so it's not that bad.

>>4864809

114 pounds is pretty damn light.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. As long as you eat healthily and when your body demands that you do, there's no such thing as underweight (barring actual diseases/disorders/serious problems).
