I went from about 30% to 15% bodyfat but it took immense willpower.
I was supposed to build muscle after that but I was too depressed, it was a gigantic effort to even get out of bed let alone lift heavy weights.
I guess it can be done, but if you have depression you need almost superhuman mental capabilities to get through the drudgery, the diet, everything.
Yes, it absolutely did change my wellbeing and mental outlook. I felt happier, more balanced when I was at a normal weight instead of overweight. My mental clarity increased.
Normies also for the first time in my life treated me normally instead of with contempt.
And customer service, restaurant folk etc. called me sir instead of ignoring and gawking at me.
How you look and how much you weigh has a huge impact on life, but I've ballooned back up to about 25% body fat because I don't really have anything to live for.
With nothing to live for, the calorie restriction is no longer worth it and it's too easy to binge again for easy dopamine.

It was really great the whole having a goal in mind and to follow it thoroughly from a skeletal guy to becoming buffer than most people around. Taught me a lot about self discipline and how rare the thing is.
Emotionally I was pretty sound, then again I was on SSRIs as well.
Sadly that didn't change much about my life, despite being buff I was still a sperg that couldn't deal with people, with no friends/gf, still living with parents and eventually lost interest on the whole thing.
I still believe exercise is really important to keep a mental well being though doesn't have to be weightlifting as most male oriented imageboards/forums make you believe.

getting fit doesn’t matter I’ve found, it’s enough to just eat clean healthy meals and get some mild exercise like walking around your house a bit or doing some chores, muscles are pointless in modern day and most people who build them just end up getting fat once they stop exercising. So control yourself, eat healthy, get up to walk from time to time, that’s the secret to better mental health

we've never been this obsessed with sport yet have never had so many people ill from a lack of activity, yet the answer from the meathead is… more pointless sport. running to go nowhere, moving stuff around that doesnt have to be moved and so on.

Possibly not exactly fit, but wondering if anyone else here just does passive diet restriction? When I was a kid I would just eat everything my parents gave me and not really think about it, I wasn't extremely fat but I was chubby and people thought I was a young girl lol.
But basically now I'm the lowest weight/healthiest I've ever been, and all I do is just not eat so much food and make sure what I do eat is healthy and nutritious. I have 3 meals a day, breakfast and lunch I make a bit small because my mom always makes large portions for dinner and I got now way out of that, occasionally I will have a snack(peanut butter, prunes, nuts), and I swapped out soda and milk for water and tea. It's sorta amazing that just a little thought put into your diet can make such a big difference.
I was about 189 pounds(six feet tall) at my highest and now I sit at 165. I could probably do with losing 5 more pounds but I think I'm alright where I am. I am a lot more confident when I go outside because I don't worry about the muffin top I get or the kinda neck fat that hides my jawline. But don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to attract a mate or anything, it's just a sorta self-respect thing. Eat good, look good, feel good. And despite weighing less my healthier diet gives me a lot more energy.

Being physically healthy/attractive is in-and-of-itself satisfying only because the instinct that drives us to be sexually/socially selected is so strong as to be self-rewarding.
While there is an argument for being healthy simply to feel energized, stable and healthy - which you'll probably raise - that only goes so far. People wouldn't care about looking good or being strong (or w/e else) if it didn't provide them either with the reality or imaginable reality of sexual/social prowess - that's where the bulk of the satisfaction comes from. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.
No.182873
Yes I was fit for a few years until other life events removed the focus from fitness. If you're a wagecuck, it's a lot more work on top of that. You need to eat a fuckton of food and if you want to do it cheaply, you have to cook it yourself. In addition to the 1 hour or so of gym time that you must fit in with your office commute and wagecuck unpaid overtimes.
If you can devote the time and effort to it, I recommend it. People, especially succubi, treat you way better. They won't jump on your dick or anything, you need way more than just fitness for that, but at least not all of them are rude or dismissive in regular everyday interaction. Also, it's an ok hobby and can be enjoyable and you feel like you have more energy for things.

I would argue that only with the mindset of a wizard can allow one to sculpt their own body to their own desire. Those that pursue a Adonis like body for vain pleasures often fail because of such petty goals . And those that do succeed tend to lose their body after becoming complacent after mating/marriage. To the average person, finding a mate is the desired result. To the muscle wizard, at least, finding a mate is just a byproduct of that self-respect.

As a wizard who was fit in his teens and 20s, it does help. Normies will assume you're like them and generally treat you positively.

If you're a wizard at heart, it's not going to help much in that regard.

I think it was 7 years ago when I had my last successful weight loss. I dropped 22kgs (was still obese). Then I failed out of college and depression did it's work and I slowly gained it all back + 4kg.
Now during the pandemic I managed to lose 23-24 kilograms. I'm almost at that weight, I was at 22.
Hopefully I won't fail this time.
My advice is to just do it anyways.
There is no good time to start a new diet. If you start all motivated then eventually the motivation is going to run out and you may fail again.
But if you start when it sucks and you push through the sucky times you'll have a better fighting chance during the bad times.
Just build discipline.

Before I started getting fit I was in a real bad spot mentally and physically. I was starting to experience all these random health problems so I decided I had to do something. I started with just walking for a mile at night. It was a relaxing way to spend the night so I quite enjoyed it. I then knew I needed to control my weight so I started eating once a day. Then I started using the exercise bike and that's when it really changed for me. I experienced that "runner's high" and even when I was in a bad mood I felt amazing. Then it really just took over my life for me. Now I do more lifting and some hard cardio 4x a week.

I do a relatively mild workout plan focused on mobility, maintaining health, and preventing injury. Mostly using exercises I found from "kneesovertoesguy" on YouTube, who is a basketball player that had several knee injuries and successfully rehabilitated them through exercises. Mostly I do this because I don't want to experience physical pain or impairment as I age, especially since I will be living alone without other people to help me if I am disabled. I also tried training martial arts for a while, which was a fun hobby and good exercise but the gym shutdown for pandemic lockdowns.
As far as OP's original question about mental outlook, the answer is yes and no. I never lost or gained a ridiculous amount of weight from working out, because I was always pretty skinny, so I don't know about a huge change like that. However, I would say that after a decently hard workout I get a feeling of a kind of mental reset, where my mind becomes more clear. The mind is like a pipe that gets clogged up with different thoughts, and then forcing the body into exerting itself clears up the thoughts somehow. After a decently hard workout I get a temporary increase in mental clarity, focus, and mood because of this effect, but it doesn't last for more than a day at most.

So far I have reduced the dose from 2 times a day to only 1 time and so far nothing really happened, however I tested not taking it for one day and taking it on the other and I'm afraid I am sort of experiencing balding so I just resumed taking it once a day, do I just exercise and eat natural inhibitors like broccoli, oranges, nettles and such?

The biggest difference is mental, though. I'm actually pretty sure it more or less cured my depression. Cycling down empty country roads super fast through beautiful countryside on a summer day, with my favorite music playing in my ears, just really helped break my habit of wasting every day being bored in front of the PC.

Yep, got fit and made my appearance more orderly over 5 years. It's helped, but I am a grim person by nature. Instead of seething and daydreaming about suicide I am just grim/angry within acceptable boundaries now.
Also this will probably get me shat on, but harsh reality is that your mood is altered by how other people (family/normies) look at you, even if you only exchange glances and dont do anything else. I am pretty resistant to opinion of others, but since I work a job, I exchange glances with probably dozen/two dozen normies a day. If the normies dont like what they see, they have a way of subtly revealing their disapproval with their facial expression. It's fucked up and unfair but this can have an effect on your brain (at least it did for me). Improving my fitness and looking better removed this disapproval and improved my mood from that.
Beyond that it's surreal, large parts of me are the same as before the change but I get treated like a completely different person sometimes, based mostly on looks. You see this especially with succubi. It completely confirms the theories that people, especially succubi, judge you based on your outside apperance, in the same way humans judge fruit or a slab of meat at a grocery store. It makes it impossible to believe that anyone in society gives a shit about "who you are on the inside" or whatever sappy crap the TV pushes on you.

Straight-legged deadlift
Plank
Workout B -

Plank.
I use 2 dumbbells which weigh 8 kilos each, previously I used 5 kilo dumbbells but eventually I didnt feel much resistance, I feel a lot of resistance using the 8 kilos right now so I am sticking to that until it doesn't feel heavy. I also do pushups, pull ups, squats and Russian twists occasionally (I do them all 15 reps, 3 sets if I can) and I am eating around maintenance or a bit more (People recommend skinny-fat guys like me do something called "bulking", I dont do 500kcal bulks or anything, probably 150kcal bulks max when I do eat over my maintenance BMR/TDEE)

Obviously you wont drop shit if you're just doing bicep curls and squats. After you drop the fat then you can focus on that more.

>>190823are you able to do rows? although you can get rid of a belly i doubt you can get rid of your thighs. ive got a big muscly lower body (ass,thigh,calves, ect) but it was mostly on accident and by genetics. instead of worrying about it i balanced my physique by training upper body more intensively instead of cutting weight to lose my ass and whatnot. so even if ive got big thighs, ive also got a bigger upper body if you catch my drift

Man eat nothing. Man eat no protein. man do no exercise. Man lose muscle and fat. Man lose weight but retains fat appearance. Man still has pot-belly.
I literally ate less and did a fuck ton of cardio, lost 12 kilos but still retained all the fat that I have, I am still a fat fuck despite listening to the advice coming from your dumb fucking mouth. The reason I am a fat shit despite becoming underweight in BMI and losing 12 kilos is because I did ZERO strength training and ate so little protein my muscle withered away making me lose weight BUT NOT THE FAT.
>>190937Dont listen to this fucking retard (
>>190996). Eat 200kcal less than your TDEE, eat 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight and either follow the 5/3/2 program or dumbbell stopgap program or any calisthetic workouts, you're going to lose the fat that way

>>195369>a real gym would cost $5,000 at least.False, all you need is a Squat Rack/Power Cage or Barbell Rack, a bench, a couple of barbells and weights. Forget all the machines etc. You can have a fully functional home gym for $600, more or less. That's what I did so I can speak from experience.
A Squat Rack/Power Cage will cost you about $200/300 new, $150 used. A Barbell Rack is a smaller version without the safety bars and will cost you $100/150 new. You can also build one yourself with wood and spend like $50.
A barbell will cost you $40.
Weight plates can be made with concrete and a full set will cost you about $100/150. They will not be as pretty as the metal ones but who cares?
That's it, now you have a gym.
