Yeah but when you go into ketosis it produces a lot more since your body isn't getting enough glucose from carbs to sustain itself.

What if I starve myself and lift? jk that's crazy

Nicotine, like all stimulants, does increase your metabolism slightly, but not really enough that you could lose a lot of weight just from using it. From my research and experience, generally speaking, any form of cardio is going to burn more calories at a time than weight-lifting. A 30 minute run is going to burn more than a 30 minute walk, but aerobic exercise burns more calories faster. If you're a powerlifter and you deadlift 600 pounds as your normal workout then that might change but that's an extreme example. The thing about lifting weights though is that as you build muscle, it takes more energy to maintain that muscle mass, so your body will have a higher resting metabolism. If you're losing fat that's a good thing, but if you're trying to build and maintain muscle then you'll have to eat more. In the end, it's good to do a little of both, but intense cardio gives you more bang for your buck. If you ever go on /fit/ don't fall for the "cardio kills gains" meme, only noobs and hungry skeletons believe that nonsense, it's more complicated than that.

I think my problem is that I let setbacks consume me and I get so far behind that it's hard to get back on track. Also being afraid of making changes doesn't help. I need to just let go and embrace the fact that change is going to happen. I just don't want to turn 30 and realize I've done nothing significant with life.

What I did before worked just fine. Just watching calories, cutting sugar and making sure to eat more quality nutrition. I was lifting weights before and that helped a lot but I've got a job that keeps me on my feet and active all day so that's doing a lot for me. I should quit smoking again though. I've gone through four cigarillos today and that's not good.

I guess the thing I linger on the most is if I ever had a chance to be normal and well-adjusted or if the way I am was meant to be.

The time away has helped me solidify what I want to do but then I'm afraid that I'm going to get a year into a new major and realize I have no idea what I want to do. Never knowing what I want to do has been one of the major curses of my life. I feel like at this point I have to go back because I don't want to be stuck in this shitty town working for eight bucks an hour until I burn out and kill myself. As for drinking, it's a sickness. Some people can put it down, some can't. I'm just glad I haven't gotten to that point.

Ketogenic diets also have a nasty reputation of causing ketoacidosis if you keep up too long. Also the first week you start you'll have bad sleep and sweat a lot and your breath and sweat will smell like fruit from the ketones in your blood. It's a good way to burn fat fast but it's risky.

I'm trying to lose a lot of weight, I already know everything I need to do, I lost a hundred pounds before but I stopped giving a shit about life and became a NEET for a while and ballooned back up. I've lost 20 pounds already but that's just a drop in the bucket.

I was in college and finally getting my life on track and having fun and meeting new people and then I got busted for drugs and dropped out, then went on probation. I let it eat at me and stopped caring and now I have to get my shit together again. I want to get off this ride. My dad doesn't know how to deal with problems so he drinks and blames problems on everything else but himself. I guess I can at least say I know what not to do.

There's no way I'm going full days without eating something. I mean, I'm losing weight but I don't really want to fuck with my blood sugar and metabolism like that. I thought about keto but I like carbs too much.

"What the fuck am I doing with my life."

I was referring more to gifs of gore and shit. People think posting the stuff you're talking about is a game until they get taken by the party van.

This is a great idea I can steal. Sorry I'm about to Thomas Edison you.

IF is great, I only feel hungry a couple hours after I eat instead of all the fucking time.

It bothers me that I know what to avoid based on the thumbnail. I had a /b/ phase, it lasted like six months. But I'm still a degenerate.

I was a pretty good kid with a bright future and good brain but then I started browsing a vietnamese basket weaving forum and started smoking pot and drinking with people who were older than me and that kind of warped me. Oh and my dad used to go on benders and do shit but that's whatever, can't blame him for my fuckups.

I'm also insecure but I'm fat and ugly so I have a reason to be.

Only people more rich and powerful than us are allowed more power.

I bet that happens a lot when you browse /b/ as a teen.
