Alright fit, has anyone actually tried losing weight with Acai Berry? I gained lots of weight when my parents split up, and after a year of depression and anxiety I've realized it's time to focus on my health before it gets any worse. I've recently started a diet and exercise plan and have lost 10 pounds this month. I was just wondering if there were any food tips I could use to help with the process. pic related, it's me.

Working out is a waste of time. I get paid for working out. I just graduated highschool and now I unload boxes of fishes from ships at the port. I'm packing muscle like no tomorrow now. tl;dr get a job where you lift things for 6 hours a day and you'll hate it at first but eventually you'll be muscled.

Hey /fit/ What exercises can I do in my own house that will help me get fit? Normally I would go outside back down in NSW where it was cold and miserable like Britain, but I'm staying in QLD for a few days and it's FUCKING HOT and humid, so I'm staying in with the comfort of my air-conditioner. The guys on /k/ recommended burpees, which seem to be a pretty good option. Two questions: 1: Will most exercises done in the home with no equipment (other than a weight, I'm sure I can find something) let me loose weight or do I really just end up turning it into muscle (I hear it's a bunch of crap) 2: Is it true if you sweat more, you'll loose more weight (if so, fuck the heat outside, I'm going for a run) Pic isn't really related unless you're in the Iron Man Contest.

>2: Is it true if you sweat more, you'll loose more weight (if so, fuck the heat outside, I'm going for a run) YES. This is true, but it's water weight so once you go back inside and replenish yourself it's all back baby.
>1: Will most exercises done in the home with no equipment (other than a weight, I'm sure I can find something) let me loose weight or do I really just end up turning it into muscle (I hear it's a bunch of crap) That will build muscle. Strength training doesn't lose weight, it builds muscle. It damages the muscle cells, which then build back up larger. To lose weight you need to either a) let your muscles atrophy (don't do that) or b) "burn" fat.
You want to do b.

>>482559 this is somewhat shady. high intensity exercise increases your metabolism for a longer period of time than moderate exercise. so high intensity weight lifting or body-weight exercises can help you lose weight faster than moderate cardio

At first I assumed I was a lazy fuck who ate too much, but spending many hours walking a week and watching what I eat, it's not that bad. It would make sense for me to be overweight, I often pig out a little on nuts or chocolate, but the degree to which, what I'm consuming, isn't really enough to make me as big as I am. Due to the unbalanced distribution of the fat I'm thinking it could be a glandular problem or something similar. I'm usually fairly drowsy, drained of energy and uncomfortable. My blood sugar level is normal. TL;DR what health problems tend to lead to metabolism problems/general weight gain.

>>482517 You mean if you DO have a glandular disorder, then you have an excuse for being fat, and it isn't your fault after all. Then by extension, everything bad in your life that is a result of you being a lazy fat ass is also not your fault. You'll be able to continue being a worthless tub of human garbage, BUT IT'S OKAY! It's not your fault.
Just say it over and over fatty, "it's not my fault."
Anonymous
>>482517 YES, you have a health issue: you're fat. Now, since your doctor won't give you an excuse to be fat, you're asking Internet to give you one. Good move, fatty. By which I mean, "It would be good for you if you actually moved, fatty."

I have a lump on my neck, just under my hairline and I just found another on the right side of my neck. Hard to desribe them, but they feel similar to the glands under your jaw. Feels like a firm domed lump under my skin rather than my skin actually being lumped. They're slightly sore to touch. What the hell are they? inb4 cancer, AIDs or you're gonna die.

Possibly a lymph node. You are most likely fighting an infection. Check the creases between your legs and groin, your underarms, behind your knees, under your chin, behind your ears, and around your neck to find more. If it stays swollen for more than two to three weeks, go to a doctor to get it checked. This is not something you want to mess around with, OP.

How many of you take protein supplements? According to fit day I only get like 25% protein a day. I read that I should be shooting for 40%, and I'm not sure how I can get there without it.

>>482514 It's a rule of thumb, not a scientific law.
>>482514 from USDA:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/dga/rda.pdf check out page 6
this is the "recommended" value for an "average" person. However you want to interpret "average" is up to you.
I personally just take only one scoop after working out. That's 3 scoops a week.

>>482547 Oh I'm not OP. I don't take protein supplements...I just try to eat enough to get around 100 grams of protein...which is around 2/3 of my body weight...so in between the 1x shit and the 2000 calorie shit.
>>482523 So then how do you know it works? What if you're just wasting calories or eating too much or gaining excess weight because the protein isn't digested as protein? Like I said, too much protein just causes me to fart and it smells like shit...

>>482566 the point of whey protein isn't really to "supplement" your RDA protein needs. It's quick absorption and easy to prepare. I'm sure you can easily fulfill your needs with regular food. No one takes whey because they can't get it elsewhere, but a couple of gulps for 20g of protein is pretty convenient.

I recently started growing a goatee again and was wondering, how many of you use straight or safety razors, as opposed to electric or disposable/cartridge types. Any tips on where to get a good safety or straight razor would be handy as well.

http://exrx.net/Aerobic/AerobicGoals.html >The ACSM recommends to target a weekly exercise expenditure of approximately 1000 kcals a week (e.g. 3 sessions of 300 Calories or 4 sessions of 200 Calories) (ACSM 1995). See Calorie Expenditure Calculator. >Review of the scientific literature suggests that moderately intense aerobic activity needs to be performed most days of the week to bring about significant fat loss. Some sources recommend brisk walking progressing to 45 minutes or more daily. Other authorities recommend working up to 60-90 minutes of daily physical activity for weight loss. >The USDA recommends at least 60 to 90 minutes of daily moderately intense physical activity while not exceeding caloric intake requirements to sustain weight loss in adulthood. About 60 minutes a day may be needed to prevent weight gain. (USDA 2005). >Alternating weight bearing with non-weight bearing exercises every other day may be recommended to minimize the repetitive orthopedic stresses of exercising daily. See Overtraining. The combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise may utilize more fat than either type of exercise alone. See Fat Loss.
