Vegetables

non starchy veggies and chicken, use no oil and lots of spices.
also whats your current weight and height?

Nothing will keep you full at that caloric intake.

Just drink a lot of liquids (water, unsweetened/no-cal sweetened tea, black coffee, milk, etc) to lessen it's effects and identify the feeling of hunger as a good thing.

>>4626065
not true, I myself am eating in that range and am not hungry all the time. Lots of protien and fat will keep you fuller longer, any grains should be low GI if you are still going to eat them.

- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Wholegrains
- Eat a relatively large breakfast
- Snack on seeds/vegetables/fruits throughout the day
- Drink green tea
- Drink lots of water

>>4626076
Are you a twig boy or woman bychance?

Veggies with lots a fiber (broccoli is a good one)
And a variety will make you crave food less.

Also, avoid juice. I used to drink that while dieting, assuming that "hey, fruits good for you!"
Naw. Almost as bad as soda in sugar and caloric content. Drink lots of water. Tea if you don't like water.

>>4626021

OP, check to see that this is allowed in most American districts there are laws requiring you to eat at least 125% or your reccomended caloric intake

>>4626021
Same here bro, 1500 a day for me and that includes alcohol. I eat decent amounts of vegetables but no fruits. The thing is I'm a working man and plain veggies leave me unfulfilled. What keeps me going is chicken breasts and small amounts of cheese. A large chicken breast will run you about 250 calories and it satisfies the hunger for sure. And its beyond versatile, you can pretty much season it with anything and make it taste like anything. And the cheese, maybe I'm doing it wrong but it keeps me from losing my mind when dieting. I'd rather slowly nibble an oz or two of cheese than eat an entire bowl of pineapple. What you wanna do is avoid all breads and pastas. Thats really what makes most people fat, half of their calories are comming from breads and carbs alone. A little is OK sometimes, but get used to cutting that shit out.

weighed 240 at the end of march.
weigh 205 right now.
just bought an indoor stationary bike so I can lose my last 25 inside watching breaking bad

I forgot to mention eggs. The egg thread reminded me. Low calorie and filling, make some omelletes. Go easy on the cheese, don't use butter, and probably don't use meat.

I'm sorry to say OP, but unless you've got the mentality where you enjoy feeling hungry for the sake of progress, it's not gonna be possible to feel satiated when you're under your recommended calorie intake for a stretch of time. Black coffee helps suppress hunger, and drinking a lot of calorie-free fluids generally keeps one occupied at least. Apart from that, lean protein and vegetables and fruit that are easy to snack on like tomatoes, radishes and apples are good.

>>4626093
This right here.
>>4626076
No, it is true. No adequately proportioned male at any weight is going to be full on a 1.3/1.5k kcal per day diet regardless of how much bullshit about fat and protein inducing satiety you read on the internet. It just doesn't happen. It's hard enough to keep hunger at bay on a 2k kcal per day diet, going below that is already a deficit for 99% of men and it's fucking agony.

>>4626065

After a couple weeks consuming ~1200 Calories a day, I got used to the amount of food. I think it really helps if you can find an activity/hobby to keep you preoccupied so you're not constantly stuffing your face (I had just started a new job when I started the 1200 Cal/day diet).

For weight maintenance, I'm usually at ~1600-1800 calories, but I take the summer to lose weight.

In the past month I lost 20lbs just sticking to around 2000 cals (not including beer), no extra exercise.
I ate a ton of spinach, cucumbers, celery, arugula, tinned tuna, Peperidge farm as a good bread thats 45 cals a slice. I would still east a lb of some whitefish or chicken too.
I never relised how much I ate until I started keeping track.

>>4626637
99% of men are 300 pound lardballs with no sense of self control? Good to know.

>>4626694
a 1200 cal diet is unhealthy.

A 120 lb woman is recommended to have a 1800 cal diet to remain that weight...and you want grown men to eat less than that?

WTF?

>>4626671
>lost 20 pounds in a month
>2000 cals a day
>doesn't include beer
>no exercise

If you're telling the truth, you must weight over 350 pounds.

>>4626694
I was taking issue with the peculiar notion that anything below 2000 kilocalories per day is 'agonising' for the vast majority of people.

>>4626021
>I'm trying to give myself a strict diet of 1300-1500 calories per day,

Why would you do this unless you are female

>>4626923
Probably because he doesn't want diabetes and heart disease to look forward to.

Well eating this low amount of food slows down your metabolism, ,much better to instead have a normal sized diet with lots of exercise, this increases natural processes within the cardiovascular and endocrine system that makes weight easier to gain/lose anyway.

Drink lots of water OP. It will fill your stomach plus hydration is always a positive. Also 0 calories.

>>4626946
>much better to instead have a normal sized diet with lots of exercise
Obviously, but I'm guessing OP is obese and the prospect of exercise is too daunting or embarrassing.

And quit spouting the "starvation mode" broscience. An obese person eating 1500 kilocalories a day isn't going to magically gain weight or stay the same weight.

I eat ~3500 cals a day
>mfw 160

>>4626957

Don't put words in anons mouth. The poster never said that. They simply said it's going to slow down your metabolism and make it hard to loose the weight. Nothing at all about gaining or staying the same

mares eat outs and goteseat oats and little labsmss eat ivy. . I am omnivore, and like meat, but and a big but, reduce the reliance on meats. and processed grains. drop 100 lbs and donn't do it like i did, the hard way. but honestly, pick up a sack of feed or cement, carry it around, all day every day for a week. then drop it You will see how much better you feel. you did not gain it in a day, and you sure ain't gonna lose it in two weeks. slow and steady wins the race. bacon is nice and doughnuts. do you really gotta have two, much less three. not saying count calories, but be aware. you will never be 18 again, who wants to, but ease off on the meat or high dense fatty foods and carbs unless swimming or scaling a mountain peak. use some common sense,. pt barnum said " a sucker born every minute".. like some not so so smart dogs, I think we are chasing out tails.

>They simply said it's going to slow down your metabolism and make it hard to loose the weight.

and this is bullshit, which is what the poster was pointing out. this is a myth/the effect is minimal.

>>4627052

Low carb high fat. Calorie counting doesn't work.
http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf

I eat about 1000 calories a day (I'm a ballerina), except when I am rehearsing it goes up to 1.500 kcals/day. I do it by eating 6 small meals of anything I want EXCEPT pure sugars, pure fats and all types of flour. And I mean eating absolutely NONE of those, not even a tsp. It's a bitch but leafy vegetables and artificial sweeteners are your friends.

>>4627291
Also a ton of water/tea/coffee/diet soda, cigarettes and sugar free gum help.

>>4627286
calorie counting doesn't work my ass
if you burn more calories than you take in you lose weight
thats undeniable

>>4627293
diet soda is as bad for your teeth as meth
avoid that shit
http://rt.com/usa/diet-soda-teeth-meth-963/

>>4627291
its considered incredibly dangerous for a women to consume under 1200 kCal a day unless under medical supervision.
your asking for serious problems

>>4626637
shut up fat man

>>4627286

>implying calorie counting isn't proven science

you are a faggot

>>4626671
So you ate at a 2500 caloric deficit a day?
3500 calorie deficit for 1 pound of fat.
70,000 calorie deficit total needed for 20 pounds.
17,500 deficit a week.
2500 a day.
So your maintenance is 4500? Are you a fucking Olympic swimmer?

odds are you dont need to be on that much of a deficit. should be fine with about 1600 minimum. whats your usual intake, and your height/weight?
but eating such little food messes with your metabolism and will make you physically exhausted constanly.
just go on a run/workout in the morning. cause what your doing is not healty and youre probably gonna cave in

>>4627296
>but the magazeens say i can eat what i want and still loose wayt
i hate these people, constantly cheat on diets that will never work and when they dont see results after 4 days they go on to say all diets dont work. or "its genetic"

>>4627271
this is what i eat when im bulkan
im assuming you just dont eat much of it
but op you just need to stick to things with good nutritional value

>>4627052
do you do lots of cardio? you need to be balkin
>>4627220
is it a myth or not make up your mind.
ill go ahead and answer, the larger the deficit the bigger the effect and im assuming op is fatasfatass at 3.3kcal and when youre dropping half of your caloric intake your body is obviously gonna think something is wrong.
>>4626021
>keep myself full
this is the problem, unless youre actively trying to put on weight you dont need to stuff yourself, just eat

>>4626065

this guy is speaking the truth. eat all the fiber you can find, do whatever magical diet you believe in but you WILL feel hungry if you are actually maintaining like 500cal deficit. In fact, be afraid if you are not feeling hungry because that only means you are failing to maintain a calorie deficit

>>4627340
really? i tried to select food with a lot of protein but i believe most of that is pretty filling and low calorie.

Probably wants to get laid.

What was the sample size? I heard the only used a handful of people.
