I have become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat.
>>711072Calorie counting and calorie deficit. (General rule is if you're a man, don't go under 1500 calories).
https://www.exercise4weightloss.com/weight-loss-calculator.htmlPair this with light exercise and do it every single day and you should lose 4lb or 10lb by the end of each month.
Try to get 40g or 60g protein minimum.

Caffeine suppresses appetite very well.
>>711193>You will have to occupy your mind as best you can when it isn't time to eat.A rather niche hypothesis suggests that if you have the right genes (if your great-something grandparents have gone through famine), this has a lot of potential to not only reduce your body fat, but also make you
more energetic:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240624164419/https://www.adaptedtofamine.com/>The adapted-to-flee-famine hypothesis (AFFH) proposes that AN [anorexia nervosa] is caused by ancient adaptations selected when migration was indeed the best solution to local famine; then individuals high in self-control, energy, optimism and perseverance had a selective advantage, as would their bands.>Before the mid 1960s patients rarely mentioned a fear of being fat to explain food restriction and hyperactivity. Historically, reports of an AN-like syndrome have surfaced whenever Europeans, Asians or Indigenous Americans have starved for any reason. In each era victims provided historically- and culturally-bound explanations. >The English and French physicians who independently described the syndrome in 1873 included hyperactivity as a primary symptom. Frances Gull wrote, “[t]he patient complained of no pain, but was restless and active. …it seemed hardly possible that a body so wasted could undergo the exercise which seemed agreeable.”Keep in mind though,
<Weight loss, not restrictive eating choices, is the trigger for anorexia in the genetically susceptible. It seems to patients and observers that AN is due to “persistent restriction of energy intake” because today the triggering weight loss is often the result of weight loss dieting. <High levels of estrogen are often required in addition to weight loss for the genetic program to manifest. AN genes are more rarely activated in males or in prepubertal girls. <Before AN derailed them, patients were typically high-achievers on track to a successful life. Their premorbid personalities were typically ascetic; in one study 23% had autism spectrum traits. >>711193>You must deal with being hungry often because your body knows when you are trying to trick itThis is 10 000 eleventy gorillion per cent bullshit.
The various parts of the brain are not strongly connected. That's why the placebo effect works even if you know you are taking a placebo. That's why you are more likely to laugh when you hear laughter even when you know it's canned laughter. That's why you can deal with an itchy leg by scratching the air above your leg while also scratching the sofa to produce a scratching sound.
There is NOTHING in your body that counts calories, only rough proxy values. You are physically incapable of eating or drinking more if your belly is full, no matter the substance. It can be water.
You WILL feel like you are eating more if you do ANY of the following:
-drink a glass of water before anything else
-look at the food while eating
-hold the bowl/plate
-use either tiny or heavy utensils
-chew longer
-do a one-minute pause in the middle of eating
Combine several of these for stronger effect.
If you sit on your ass all day your body registers the situation as you being not fat. This is bad. Put on a weighted exercise west to counter that (you don't actually have to exercise while wearing the west for this to work).
>>712391Good advice.
I'll add:
Eat a stable diet meaning same meals for a while. This makes it easier to know what you're consuming.
Track calories for a bit. Every thing you eat, track it.
Eat more protein and fiber.
Drink more water.
Track your weight after peeing every morning.
Analyze your eating triggers. For me being at home means I will eat. So I try not to be home, instead I go to the gym or for a walk. I switch out processed snacks for fruit.
And above all, lots of patience. It's a slow process. It WILL pay off..
