Dear Fat Neck-beards

UPDATE 19/08/2016 - Down to 193lbs from 200 when this was posted, exactly 21 days ago, thats 3 weeks, Haven't worked out once because I've been busy, had a few days where I ate a ton of ice cream, still on track, this stuff works guys

You are a piece of metal, waiting to be honed and sharpened into a fine blade, you can study the whetstone, figure out the best methods, devise the strongest plans, but until you start scraping off the impurities you will never develop into the weapon you were mean't to be.

Summary:

Being fat and undesirable is a mentally crippling disease. The easiest and fastest way you can improve yourself is to lose that fat and focus solely on doing that.

I will explain how i lost weight with relative ease and how you can too. I will explain how my mind has change and my perceptions were and now are so that other Fatties can get a window into the whole idea. If you are a fatty and you were like me you probably tried to lose the weight 100 times or more, and so did i, the reason I'm writing this is because their is a massive amount of misinformation about being fat and how to lose weight when you are fat on the internet and 99 percent of it in my experience is completely set up for you to fail and continue to be fat.

Rest assured that I personally guarantee that after reading this post and taking the actions I did, you will finally lose the weight and close that chapter of your life for good.

My backstory (maybe its yours as well)

I was always overweight, from the age of 12-very recently (25). at points I wasn't "fat" but I was always extremely critical of the way I looked. Looking back, their were times in my life when I thought I was a giant fat ass and in reality i was only slightly over weight and I let my own mind Rot because of this.

The fattest I've ever been was a year ago, I hit 245 on that scale after a year of playing video games and eating pasta. I am 6'3, so 245 isn't morbidly obese, its simply obese. I had that round Sam face and was disgusted with how i looked. I also smoke, so keep that in mind. I was not a healthy person at all. I started to get shortness of breathe, chest pains when running, and I had terrible blood pressure, this, the realization that if i didn't lose the weight in my 20's id might as well be a fat ass forever, and the haunting thought that if i don't get lean I'll always be in regret of my life - is what pushed me to finally do this.

So now that you have an idea of what my specs were and my lifestyle, Use this as a template for your own self.

Why being fat sucks

For those who aren't fat and are reading this out of interest, You will never understand (unless you get fat) what it truly is to be a fat person. Imagine waking up every day, exhausted, constantly uncomfortable in every social situation, literally hating yourself, avoiding mirrors, photographs and making any appearances anywhere.

That is just a start.

Now imagine not being able to do things you like, like swimming, going out with friends, playing sports. You cant get a haircut because everything looks wrong, you cant shop for clothes you like. You cant enjoy watching movies or seeing other people who aren't fat do things you want to do because you know you cant do them. All of your non-fat friends are the envy of your day to day life. Things that would make a normal person happy make you depressed. Almost every aspect of your life is now put through the fat lens, where everything is stinky and bloated. It is a disease.

The worst part of it all isn't the effect on your body, its your mind. Being fat for a long time damages your ego, your outlook on life, everything about you, how you think, how you feel. You really are just fucked. Than you add in permanent stretch marks (which i have). Loose skin. The list goes on.

If you are fat and reading this, you are probably speeding up in your pace because all of this is making you feel like someone understands you finally and at the end of this post I'll have some magic thing you can do to make it all go away. And in a sense, I do.

What being thin does to you

I'm not thin yet, I am down to 200 pounds after my three month mark, Half way to my goal weight of 180. But Compare this to me 3 months ago, and I already feel like a completely different person. Some of the things I've noticed that stick out the most are

◀Sitting in a shitty chair hurts

◀Sleeping is much more enjoyable, and You wake up actually refreshed

◀I get cold very quickly and It takes longer for me to get hot and sweat

◀Walking is actually fun, and I can walk long distances without getting tired

◀Eating like a normal human being and feeling "not full" is almost therapeutic

◀People are nicer to you. People are nicer to you. People are nicer to you

◀It's easier to do everything

◀Your penis will appear much larger because you lose the fupa, the fupa is actually much bigger than you could imagine i put on about 2 inches of actual noticeable length

◀Your penis will not only appear larger, but it will be larger. The increased blood flow to my cock now allows me to get even more swollen down their than before, adding close to an inch in circumference.

◀all day, every day, you can constantly feel good by reflecting on the fact that you aren't fat, its like a drug

Their are more things that change but these are the biggest ones I've seen

How it feels to be on a normal diet rather than being a fatass

For me at least, this is how it went

FAT:

I would eat 3 to 4 times a day. When i would eat, i would eat until i was completely full, stuffed. I'd eat until Id have to lay down after eating. This for some reason, is what i thought was normal. This is how i got fat. Normal people don't do this. This is why you are fat. Recognize that being full, being satisfied, and being completely fucking stuffed are all different things. I used to associate being hungry with being - not completely stuffed. Which is wrong.

Thin(er):

Now I eat 3 times a day, and I eat within a caloric frame. Making sure that at the end of the day I am not over eating. When i eat, typically, i just add up what the calories are and stop when i hit what I have to eat for that meal, whether I'm full or not. At first this was a bit hard since my body was used to eating so much but after just 2 weeks maybe even less time, my body adapted and i was no longer feeling hungry. I have eaten large meals, 3 or 4 times since i started and every time i eat those, i feel absolutely sick. Once you start to eat properly you can't go back. I now feel the same satisfaction from eating lean and properly - than when i did eating like a fucking blimp - without feeling sick or bloated of course.

How I lost the weight

I decided to lose the weight for beta reasons, I wont get into it but it was for a onitis revenge type bullshit which I've since resolved by going all in, and than telling her to fuck off after she rejected me (watch the bill burr podcast). but that was a month ago, and since than I've started to do it for me, and not for anyone else, and that is something I'm sure a lot of you will have to go through. I could have just eased off the lean train and got fat again after it didn't work but thanks to TRP I didn't resort to being a spoiled baby. Now, that aside, here is what i did.

losing the weight takes 3 mechanical things

1. Drink a fuck ton of water

At first, you will lose water weight, and immediately feel a bit thinner, but more importantly, when you are 100 percent hydrated your body will burn more calories at rest, and you will feel overall better.

I specifically bought a nalgene bottle and would fill it up almost every hour drinking close to 750 ml per hour. Drink it at room temperature because its easier to drink when it isn't super cold. Also, when I'm feeling like I'm not losing the weight or i need to do something to keep the lean train going, i use water as a mental "cigarette" to quench that thirst for being active about my weight loss. Its as much a mental tool as a physical tool

2. Sleep 8 hours a day, no matter what.

When you don't get enough rest, your body is just not working optimally, its similar to the water situation. I won't get into the science, just trust me, if you are fat you are likely not sleeping enough or sleeping too much. Get exactly 8 hours or close to it every day for 2 weeks straight without doing anything different and you'll already start losing weight.

3. Get a weed/pot/ganja scale

This was the breaking point for me, the water and the sleep you know are something you are already missing, but for me this is what made the world of difference. When you are done reading this, get up and go to a corner store or gas station that sells bongs and grab one for 25 bucks. I got the diablo scale because i used to use it back when i was a stoner and its accurate. I was amazed to find out that i was vastly underestimating how much i was eating until i got this scale. I would look at a package of food and it would tell you its 250 calories for 80 grams for example, i would than eyeball what i thought was 80 grams, but after weighing out 80 grams i realized i was eating about 600 calories instead of the 250. This is what made the difference for me. When you can accurately measure the calories you put in, you physically can't gain weight if you stick to a set plan.

THESE 3 THINGS MUST BE DONE RELIGIOUSLY, NO EXCEPTIONS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. YOU SHOULD TREAT THESE THREE THINGS AS YOUR TOP PRIORITIES AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND YOU DID NOT MAKE SURE YOU DID THESE THREE THINGS TODAY YOU SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED

Now those are very important, but they are no good without a strategy. Mine was very simple.

EAT LESS THAN YOU BURN

I went to livestrong.com and used their calorie calculator to determine what I needed to eat to maintain my weight, and what It said i needed to eat to lose 2 pounds/week, for me when i started out, it was something like to maintain my weight i needed to eat 2,900 calories a day. to lose 2 pounds/week i needed to eat like 1,900. So than I looked online what the minimum you need as a man to eat and not get sick, and after some research i found that around 1,450 is the lowest you should go. So what i did when i used livestrong was I cut my height by 1 inch, i said was 6'2 not 6'3 and than I just went ahead and ate 1500-1700 calories a day.

This ensured that not only would i lose the weight, but i would lose a bit more, it also gave me a cushion of about 200 calories. Now what does this mean? it means if on average, i eat below 2,900 calories a day throughout a week, i will not gain weight. to lose weight I only had to eat below that number but not below 1,450. So on weekends or days where i was drinking, i could still go a bit above, just not above 2,900.

Now I'm only including this because their will be days where you can't eat less. Like going camping, birthday parties, all kinds of shit will get in your way. I ate like 9 plates of crab legs at the mandarin at my dads birthday because fuck its crab legs and im not paying. That is OKAY to do ONCE IN A WHILE. As long as your baseline and norm is low, you can include some days here and there to over eat. Because after all you are a human being still. and normal not fat people do this all the time.

What i did to mentally counter balance this was the next day or the day before I knew i would be eating more than i should, i ate even less to counter act it. Which worked out.

Now after every 5 pounds i lost, I would re-evaluate my numbers on livestrong. This is very important since the numbers change and if you want to lose the weight at a consistant pace you have to recalculate.

I'll break it down into a list of things to do.

1. Get a scale

2. Calculate your optimal level of calories to eat using livestrong

3. Weigh your food and acurately hit that number every day

4. Re-evaluate your numbers after every 5 pounds of weight loss

5. get 8 hours of sleep, and drink a ton of water

Some things to note. When I lost the weight, it was fast at first, i lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks. And than 7 in the next 2 weeks and than I stalled, didn't lose anything for a week or so, than i started to steadily lose 2-3 pounds a week up until today. I weighed my self everyday, and the scale would sometimes piss me off because id be down to 220 , and than back to 224 the next day. This is simply your body holding onto the shit in your colon, or you didn't piss or you drank less/more water. Don't get mad, the fat is gone its simply just other weight. SO i recommend weighing every day and only going off of one day a week for your progress. So i weighed in on Mondays. That was my official number id go by.

Doing just this will suffice, however, i also wanted to make sure I didn't lose muscle, and I read a ton of shit online about this and that and honestly, its all crap. I haven't noticed any muscle loss at all. and that is partly because I would lift modestly throughout the week and go for long walks or hikes for fun. I used 20lb dumbbells and just lifted in a variety of ways for close to an hour 4-5 times a week. It wasn't necessary for the weight loss but i was concerned of muscle loss so i did it. Of course doing this will help you lose more, but in my experience, its 90 percent diet, 10 percent sweating.

One important thing to remember which "throwawaycucfet" mentioned (Thanks) was to make sure that you are eating a larger portion ( not all your calories ) of your calories in protein. If you aren't your body WILL break micro amounts of your muscles down to get the protein it doesn't have in order to keep essential body functions going. Eating more protein (I would assume complete proteins) will help remedy this.

My go-to dinner is 300 grams of raw peeled shrimp stir fried with canned corn, leeks, and water chestnuts, bit of spices ( i like garlic, paprika, and onion ) little bit of butter and olive oil and of course lemon juice. Shrimps got 24 grams of protein per 100 grams, and they are about a calorie a gram, so 300 grams of shrimp gives you about 75 grams of protein and its only 300 calories, with the vegetables and the corn you can make a bomb ass dinner that will fill a whole bowl, give you tons of protein, tastes good and includes a lot of veggies for about 500-600 calories (for about 12 dollars, 6 on sale)

you will stall - don't take it personally its just biological, you are doing fine just wait it out

For me, I like to romanticize everything, I mathed out the date i would be down to 180lbs and that happens to be october 31st (Halloween) and every day I'd wake up or when i was smoking or alone feeling tired or beaten, I would just repeat out-loud or in my head "6 months" this reminded me that this is going to take some time, half a year. I'm at the point where im saying "3 months" and I am surprised at how fast the time went by.

Conclusion

1. calculate your weight loss values and stick to them
2. buy a scale and weigh your food accurately, do not eyeball
3. drink water like you are an elephant
4. sleep 8 hours
5. stick to it at all costs
6. develop a mantra for yourself
7. if you like, include some modest weight training or walking
8. get lean and stay lean

I hope this gets out to the other fat people and they do this, because i spent years trying to lose weight, I tried all the other bullshit out their and simple math was what did it for me. I'm not done, but i can safely say I'm never going back, 20lbs to go, 3 months to go and I'll finally be at weight That I could only dream of in the past, and it is so satisfying on a minute by minute deal. Please do this if you are fat, and get thin, IT works, and it doesn't require any bullshit or nonsense. Eat the food you normally do - try to eat a bit more protein and less carbs since you get more actual FOOD in your body that way. and Enjoy. I'll keep you guys posted, I plan on doing a before and after picture from 245lbs to 180 in october.
