/fit/ - Fitness, Health, Exercise, Dieting, etc

My mother knows her shit, just annoys me sometimes with talking about stamina and so on when I just want to get big.

My older brother is an expert in nutrition. Never trained at it, he has shit-tier credentials generally and never finished any decent education, but he really knows his shit. He created a diet for himself that contains every single macro and micro in the exactly right composition and still puts him at a deficit. He also kept his cat with feline AIDS alive and reasonably well for two decades, well after her teeth fell out. I cannot get behind his gay machine training, though. Ultra high reps, like fifty reps per set, in these machines that isolate like half the muscle. He had great success with it, but I'd rather stay unaesthetic than do this shitey training. To each his own.

My girlfriend still believes in spot reduction and constantly urges me to do crunches to lose my belly. She is really supportive, though. I can't complain. In fact, one large reason why I went back to /fit/ again is because of her. I know, lifting for girls.

>anons, the American meme is real to a fucking T.

This tbh, America is either dangerously skinny or dangerously fat, you can only pick one, still I have a ton of muscle on me and I'm glad for that but I have just as much fat on me. Mostly on my abs.

>don't take those vitamins, they're gonna make you fat!

my family literally thought skinny->unhealthy, vitamins->very healthy, vitamins->fat.

they're all fat and never taken vitamins obviously.

This is true if you go to some crappy diner or similar restaurant, like Denny's or IHOP (now known as IHOB). I generally hate eating out just because most of our restaurants, particularly the franchises, are pretty shit tier. Invariably the food that I can cook at home is always better in both taste and nutrition. Although there are a couple sort of hipster "foodie" joints that make some really good ramen

It's a thing. Google it up.

>Those protein shakes are just the first step towards steroids

My mom's actually a good advocate for eating healthy/taking GOOD supplements . Sometimes she thinks my home gym isn't a good replacement for an actual gym membership but I'll take what I can get.

Not nice to call your dad a fat fuck OP. Help him out. My dad and mom think protein powder is bad for you and creatine is steroids but they are ok with me taking SARMs cause I told them how it lowers cholesterol (some of em do lol).

Now I just inject tren tbh.

>when I was stuck in all this the one time I thought asking for a vegetable would be a good idea I ended up having nothing but canadians to eat for 2 weeks and I was shitting green by the 3rd day

Somebody could genuinely believe that whatever feels best is best and thus think that their eating shit is fine, but if they punish you for wanting to eat vegetables then they don't actually believe that. According to that theory your body (unlike theirs) needs vegetables, it makes no sense to punish you for it. They just like eating garbage and don't want to admit that their habits are unhealthy so they cling to any nonsense that will allow them to justify their shitty diet. And they also don't like having you around eating better food because it reminds them that they are hurting themselves by eating crap.

>canadians

Wait, is that what happened to those tourists? You know that even if they were vegans that doesn't make them count as vegetables, right?
