@mario losing weight is hard, why can't it be easy :blobcatcry:

it is somewhat easy in theory :blobcatsadreach:

minimize incoming cals
maximize outcoming cals

i have no idea how metabolism works in practice tho, doesn’t help that it’s individualistic and changes with time :blobcatsad:

@mario I hate that I can't figure it out. The only time I was a healthy weight was when J was heavily using. I had no appetite and lots of energy. Now, I have no energy at all if I don't eat, and if I cut back on eating, and eat what I "should", I feel literally sick, like I have the flu, no energy, get depressed, eating has literally become an addiction and I'm not even "that" fat, but I wish I was thin, I can either be fat and feel bad, or eat less and feel worse.

your body needs to adjust to the new metabolism which results in the feel of being sick...
try to stick to a gewd diet for a month or two and it will normalize :blobcathappy:
@Jazzy_Butts @Jazzy_Butts @mario IT'S SO ANNOYING OH MY GOOODDDDD
LIKE I JUST WANT TO AT LEAST BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCALE
AAAAAAAA

@Kagekokoro @mario I tried to build muscle recently, and I was eating 200g protein a day, my kidneys started hurting so I stopped. But I was seeing some results. I was working out hard too. But it was hard, I couldn't keep it up, my kidneys started hurting and I had no time for anything else. Now I just want to lose some fat and maintain but I'm addicted to sugars and grains (which turn to sugars), any time I try to cut them out and do just the protein and veg I lose my fucking mind and have mood swings, I self regulate with sugars, carbs, honey, maple syrup, whatever I can get my hands on that's more or less natural. I don't eat candy. I don't drink soda. I make sweet lemonades or have protein pancakes with butter and syrup, I eat actual food I just don't eat it in the amounts or frequency I should because I am unstable.
