re: PUTTHEFORKDOWN V. 2024- daily nutrition thread

That’s what’s crazy about this Mounjaro. I’m not hungry. I just had dinner, because I finally felt hungry.

Hammer down folks!!!!!

I weighed in at 222 today. I didn’t eat all day. I honestly wasn’t hungry, so I’m closing in on another 24 hour fast.
I’m sure I’ll be back at 221 tomorrow.

My walk was great today. Push-ups are rolling along like normal. All is well. I really want 215 by Mardi Gras

---

I have 4-5 days of driving ahead of me and was considering doing the EC stack for that. Figured I’m basically sedentary except for roadside breaks and lunch (where I’ll walk and stretch and do some Bodyweight stuff just to move a little bit). Truckers use the shite for exactly this reason, right?

yea, but understand for some...will make you piss alot. does me atleast

280/241/190?

It's been a discouraging couple of weeks. Feel like I've hit a somewhat of a wall. From late summer and throughout most of fall the weight was falling off pretty steadily. I let off the gas a little in November due to some soreness in my ankle and knee from pushing cardio too hard. Even with slowing down a little, I was still able to drop 6 lbs from 11/1 - 12/20 and then maintain my weight throughout Christmas and New Years (with a lot of travel, less workouts, and not the best choice in food).

Since I posted in here on 1/9, I'm actually 2 lbs heavier and had some decent fluctuations in weight. Only significant changes for 2023 is I stopped eating 2 eggs for breakfast (scrambled plain, no butter, etc.), added some protein powder, and moved to a different workout plan.

I'm not noticing clothes getting tighter (and in fact had to return some clothes I received for Christmas and swap them for smaller sizes).

Is is possible that the additional protein and move to free weights is causing muscle to grow at a faster rate than fat loss? It's only been a few weeks, should I just maintain my same routine for now to see if anything changes?

possibly, have you tracked waist at naval measurement? if not, start

i would stick to it for about 2 more weeks, if not losing, add 2-3k steps. check again in 2 weeks if still not losing, lower cals by 200 and add another 2k steps.

---

Unofficial tracking is a little over 2 pant sizes. I'll add this to my morning routine so it's consistent. I can also squeeze in a lunch or afternoon walk to bump up steps; daily average is lower than I realized.

I was once 280, so youre just a few steps on the trail from me. I did notice that around 250-240, I stalled. It was like by body had to reset.

This time around it happened at 230. Now, Im dropping again. I find that a 3 day egg diet really helps me break through a plateau.


257/220.4/210. That damn scale flashed 219.8 for a split second.

I just got my 2.5 mounjaro today! I’m pumped. Had to go through hoops, but insurance is covering it so I got it for $25. Waiting until Friday to inject in case of side effects.

---

suggest thursday nights right before bed as many times it takes 24-48 hours for any sides to show. dont want you to take it friday then have to call in sick on monday cause you have bad reaction.


as far as me.....started as shitty week as this past weekend with mardi gras ball was hell, but has turned into one of my better weeks yet and only half way through

I'm setting the O/U on percentage of people using this or similar that gain the weight back at 90%. A pharmaceutical appetite suppressant aint it, unless you plan on taking it the rest of your life. If that's the case enjoy your cancer.

---

do you even know what it does? how it works? or are you just mouthing off with zero research on it?

quote:

some miracle drug with no side effects

---

it is a miracle drug for many...but who in the frick said it had no side effects??

care to quote them...instead of just throwing out the cancer word without any shred of evidence??

because their are sides, mainly gastro sides. in the last 72 week study 80% or so reported those gastro sides, mainly dairhea.


and just so we are clear...these drugs are ok to use for diabetes for life but not obesity?? just checking? cause thats what they are designed for

but as far as your gain the weight back comment...you may be right but its indivdualized. if the person uses the drug as a crutch only, doesnt make lifestyle changes, doesnt start exercising etc....then yea like anything, they will gain the weight back.

if i just starve myself and lose 100lbs and then go back to eating 3-4 plates at dinner...of course i would gain it back.

if i lose the 100lbs due to lifestyle changes...good chance i keep it off

these drugs are safer than surgery but really no different in outcomes. your stomach will shrink over time because you are eating less...but it certainly can be stretched back out.

Watching people pick and choose when to trust big pharma would be pretty hilarious if it wasnt so sad.

why not take your fat fricking arse back to the PT board so yall can find some other conspiracy to talk about today??


because unlike the vaccine, all of these glp-1 drugs have been study a very long time and have multiple peer reviewed studies performed. has went through the real approval process not the warp speed bullshite Trump enacted and Biden used to shove down everyones throats

or are you one of the guys that feels we can no longer trust any medicine no matter what now? So if you get cancer you arent going to go to MD anderson right and arent going to take anything?

just adjust diet and pray the cancer away right?

Of course. Diabetes and obesity arent close to the same thing.

ummmm.....might want to rethink that

LOL, dude, look at this thread. That's exactly what almost everyone using these for weight loss is doing.

---

are they? you sure? so you have seen every one to them not posting their lifting routines and diet? because im on here daily and havent

Both are incredibly dumb for 99% of people. Disregard if they have an actual abnormality that isnt preventable.

---

while you and I may not need nor want to go that direction recognizing that many are not you nor I isnt dumb.

many are not just capable of doing it on their own.

realizing these drugs are way way way less harmful than being morb obese is not dumb, actually the exact opposite

quote:

LOL, I dont think the take that big pharma doesnt have the best reputation is very controversial

---

nobody said they did, but these are some new controversal drugs forced upon us by dumb fricks in washington either

And just FYI, I do more volume in a day than you do in a week.

---

if this is true then you are literally a fricking retard when it comes to programming. because that would mean you are doing 50+ sets for back, 30+sets for legs and chest, 20+ for shoulders and anotehr 30+ for arms.....but hey if it works for you...good for you

I dont get winded from tricep pushdowns and carrying a 35lb db 30 feet

---

can you show me where i do 35lb farmers walks and only do 30feet and complained about being winded? because last i check(last night as a matter of a fact) i use 90s if distance is less than 100 yards

if you are talking overhead...i use the 53s but until recently used the 36s KBs and it was much further than 30 feet and much less to do with strength but more so shoulder stability....

but im sure your a beast and use 50% or so overhead in each hand and bodyweight in each hand on farmers carries. congrats Brian Alshure...glad you are in the top 0.1% of the population....seriously congrats

If you want to make it personal, of course.

well if you post a dumbass take...gonna call you out, personal or not. and you are not gonna hurt my feelings. like i have posted before Im just a middle aged fat dumbass engineer who happens to be a father to 3 boys and just trying to keep up with them. I just happen to be pretty educated on the subjects but am certainly no bad arse myself thats for sure. out here just trying to get a little better each day

but again congrats on being a bad arse...its too bad that doesnt carry over to critical thinking and research skills

Of course not, what an incredibly ridiculous jump and deflection from the point at hand.

oh you mean like when you said :

Watching people pick and choose when to trust big pharma would be pretty hilarious if it wasnt so sad.

---

so 1 is an incredibly ridiculous jump(covid vaccine --> glp-1) and the other isnt???

quote:

---

As dumb or more than just take a pill and keep eating like shite and not moving, which you act like is the savior of humanity.

---

can you show me any place i have ever said that? please quote me

because i have said repeatedly when it comes to glp-1 type drugs that it is a miracle but it only works longterm if you use it to jumpstart a complete lifestyle change. if you just use it to starve yourself...gonna go right back to old habits. I have said that atleast 3 times in the past month on here.



again congrats on being a bad mother fricker and doing outrageous amounts of volume each day :cheers: :cheers:
