you are one dumb ass motherfucker, kill yourself

i shouldn't need to mention how sad it is that someone who does weightlifting would be averse to other forms of training but i guess i do

>>15958962

Just walk round outside for 30 minuets a day. No need to Wii fit garbage, expensive equipment, yoga pants or gay ass fitness watches. Just go for a walk.

>>15958962

Wii sports resort has a running game, that's about the only thing. You won't really burn fat but wii fit does have some good exercises that would be good for a warmup, again, not that great in the end of all things. But if you are a weak ass little bitch then it might help you get into it a bit more because you can see numbers and shit go up.

I am afraid that, whatever those games do, they dont cure your autism

>>15958962

What do you think "cardio" is exactly?

Why do you think these games aren't "cardio?"

>>15959168

They are but I hate doing normal cardio

I want to replace normal cardio with these which is the point

>>15958962

>Plus cardio kills gains

No it does not you fucking retard.

>>15959272

A lifter who hates cardio, probably.

>>15959040

This anon knows what he's talking about.

>>15958962

Wii Sports just gets you windy. Just Dance X games are unironically great for workouts. If you can get past the cringy music and animations, the way you gotta swerve your body to match the moves really helps you unwind, also the animations match quite closely what you're supposed to do. Pirate the Wii versions as all the others are just gimmicky pieces of shit.

Play DDR instead you cardio-hating fatty.

Hoy cunt, you already posted this shit on /fit/. Join an actual sport or actually dance. You know, meet new people and exercise you fucking autist.

>>15959072

>meant to say calories not fat

That's what I assumed. But a "calorie" is just a measure for energy, defined as

> the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere

Calories are easy to measure, and people like to be able to give advice, it gives them the feeling that they are in control of the problem, even if that advice is useless. Calories just provide an upper limit on how much work you can perform (your body is still limited by thermodynamics), but it is too simplistic to explain the human metabolism.

What you want to do is get rid of the fat. So you need to find out why you are fat, i.e. why your body is building up that surplus fat tissue. Fat tissue is an organ the body has to explicitly build up, it's not just dietary fat that got stuck there somehow. Most likely it is a shit diet, but it could also be that you have a sickness. One thing that I know is that if the body has a surplus of glucose it will produce fat tissue to store the surplus safely there, so cutting out carbohydrates allows the body to deplete those reserves, and it will then disassemble the fat tissue as well since it's no longer needed.

I cannot diagnose you over the internet of course, you will have to try to find the solution yourself. And of course consult a doctor and have checkups before doing any crazy experiments.

>>15959194

Cardio is one of the most boring and mind-numbing things I can imagine. Riding a bicycle in place for an hour at the gym used to drive me crazy.

>>15958962

>Plus cardio kills gains

Never heard that one, and I don't see a reason why it should. Unless by "gains" you mean becoming one of those muscle-mutants, but why would you want that?

Anybody play this? I'm getting a switch as soon as my tax return comes in and this caught my eye for being a rhythm orientated workout game with waifu dress-up.

>>15959941

>Riding a bicycle in place for an hour at the gym used to drive me crazy

Buy one for home and ride it while you play vidya. They're not that expensive.

>>15959941

>>15960698

Alternatively, go outside and run somewhere instead of paying money for something you can already do yourself. Unless, of course, you have knee problems or live in crime-infested shithole.

>>15959941

>That's what I assumed. But a "calorie" is just a measure for energy, defined as

>> the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere

just to be an autistic nigger, the Calorie that food and exercise are measured in is actually a kilocalorie. So it's actually the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg (= 1L) of water one degree Celsius at STP

>>15959072

>literal 4chan memes

why

Yeah wii baseball

>>15960985

Treadmills?

>>15961033

Isn't this guy from GoT?

>>15960976

Only in the US as far as I know. Where I live the food is actually labelled in kilo-calories (kcal).

>>15959040

>Cut out sugar from your diet

This includes fruit right?

And on a similar note wasn't all that "food pyramid" stuff we got taught in school a lie from the American Grain Association? (Eat 6-12 serving of bread/grains a day type of stuff).

play DDR or pump it up

I legit want to buy a pump it up machine to play it as my daily cardio workout

Can you ironically burn fat?

>>15963386

just buy a good dance pad or build your own

>>15963383

Fruit is different from artificial added sugars. It is fairly safe and the best way to get sugar if you want it. Processed foods and added sugars should be avoided. The food pyramid is bullshit thought.

>>15963383

> This includes fruit right?

Most likely. Though to be fair, fruit does contain fiber, which lowers the bioavailability of sugar. In layman's terms, the fiber makes it so your body absorbs less of the sugar in the first place. So eating five whole apples is going to give you less sugar than if you squeezed the juice out of those apples and threw the solid parts away. Bioavailability is also why just measuring the amount of vitamins in a food and comparing the results is not good enough, other components of the food can lower how much of those vitamins you do end up getting into your system. So if you really want something sweet have an actual fruit rather than synthetic sweeteners. Your priority should be getting the added (and often hidden) sugar out of your food, you can then worry about fruits later.

Fruit has another problem: it makes you more hungry. I remember when I was a kid and I was hungry my parents would always tell me to just eat an apple or something, but I always complained that it just made me more hungry. I thought I was crazy, but recently I have found out that it's actually a real thing. Fruit is the only part of a plant that the plant wants to be eaten, so it makes sense to make the fruit addictive to animals.

> And on a similar note wasn't all that "food pyramid" stuff we got taught in school a lie from the American Grain Association? (Eat 6-12 serving of bread/grains a day type of stuff).

There is good evidence that most of what we were taught about "healthy" diet is just marketing hogwash. Europeans were not eating breakfast for centuries, unless they were heavy laborers, and now all of the sudden it's the most important meal of the day? And how convenient that there are those cereal companies who just happen to have the perfect product to sell to you. I remember the food pyramid from cornflakes boxes, it had grain products at the bottom (gee, what a (((coincidence)))), the fruit and vegetables, followed by dairy and meat, and finally candy on top. Well, at least everyone can agree on the last one.

While I'm at it, avoid all "low-x" or "x-free" products as well, like low-fat and gluten-free. If "x" is supposed to be in the food you cannot just take it out, you have to substitute it with something. This something usually ends up being sugar. If you cannot eat gluten, then don't eat food that contains gluten. It sucks, but it's better than eating those frankenfoods.

>>15963386

>>15963397

Have those new pads that were announced released yet? I can't remember the name, but they were supposed to go hand-in-hand with a new game

>>15958962

EAT A FUCKING SALAD, IT'S NOT SO HARD GOD DAMN IT.

You're better off playing DDR.

Theres not many times id say listen to an anon but this is one of those times. The retarded amount of sugar out there in every single product is ridiculous. You know those mini cans of soda? I forget how large they are but smaller than a normal can, they have roughly 28g of sugar. The daily recommended is about 25. And think about all the other processed shit that contains sugar. I mean you can easily exceed 100g of sugar in a day. Im not going to go and say any sugar is bad. I love baking and will always need sugar for some stuff. But like this anon says, cut out those processed foods such as breakfast cereal.

Move to cooking and baking your own shit. Its not that hard, just substitute some gaming time for cooking and you can easily do it. Or get a handheld console and cook and play like a true faggot. If you really need to lose weight due to being a fatass fuck, trying fasting. Some people will tell you its un-needed or "bad" for you, but for a fat fuck board like /v/ its definitely a good option. Will be a practice in self-control, but the payoffs are nice and youll feel a lot better when you start eating again IF you actually make a choice to eat properly. Fasting is a great tool for weight loss and mental health. But the core comes from cutting refined sugars out.

im of the camp that fruits are best utilized as deserts rather than a compliment to a meal due to their sugary nature.

>>15958962

Look up Eric Orton on youtube. It's a joy to run like a human. If you run properly, with properly developed feet and calves, it's a very clean burn, just like weight training. He has a bunch of miscellaneous videos, but his first and lastest ones have the technique.

>>15965171

It's fucking impossible to gain weight from eating plain sugar, you'd have to mix it with lard or vegetable oil to gain any fucking weight. I have tried eating cups of raw honey before, it doesn't fucking happen.

Wii Fit trainer sparked off my fetish for short haired toned women.

>>15967421

>>15965171

I think fasting is a short term kind of thing, Ideally you want to make lifestyle changes.

Also drink milk, very good meme choice.

>>15967465

Most adults can't drink milk though. I'm quite lucky and can still enjoy it a lot and I love that shit so much.

And no, fasting is never good. Not eating for a single day is fine, two days is starting to go overboard and more is outright dangerous to your health. Regardless of your weight (although of course if you're anorexic you're basically killing yourself).

>>15967490

>Most adults can't drink milk though

If you're talking globally, then you're right.

This is one way Eurocentrism actually hurts the world. People would rather call lactose intolerance an illness rather than get that races are different.

>>15967510

>>15967480

>It's not my fault I'm a fat lazy slob that eats shit, it's the patriarchy's fault!

WEW

>>15967504

… I haven't called anything an illness though, you twitter-brained wanker. Go outside once in a while holy shit. What's wrong with you

>>15967593

You do realize there were a fuckton of articles at one point that DID call milk a "white supremacist symbol", right ?

>>15967593

>>15967601

Don't forget the guys chugging gallon jugs of the stuff at those riots too.

>>15967421

>gonna be totally fine !

>People like you disgust me so fucking much. There are different types of sugars and there even are different types of bodies and metabolisms. Your bullshit anecdote is relevant to nothing and honey is an infinitely healthier form of sugar than the garbage you find in premade food. I wish we could cook you instead.

Stop eating starch if you want to lose weight you goddamn ape, there's a reason why oats n squats was a fucking meme on /fit/ for so long, it's because starch goes to your goddamn thighs, all glucose syrup, corn, HFCS contain starch.

>>15967611

Nothing like taunting antifa by chugging milk.

Wanna lose weight while playing video games anon?

Put a stationary bike in front of your tv.

I burned something like 800 calories in the course of an hour because I was so focused on the game that my body stopped paying attention to the workout and I stayed in the 150-160 heartbeats per minute area for 50+ minutes.

Shit was really fucking neat.

Also you could also buy into the VR meme and play games like Deus Vault and VR boxing. It's pretty damn good in and of itself

>>15967618

Literally nobody said to eat oats or starch or whatever like that you dumbass faggot.

>>15967627

This was a common meme on /fit/ for years you underaged niggerfaggot.

Thanks, good to hear. Now this was the part I didn't know about, I'm trying to cut down sugar, stopped drinking juice but was wondering if eating fruit just did the same thing as drinking it sugarwise.

>>15967606

>>15967611

>>15967621

Don't have a cow, man becomes a right wing quote.

>>15967656

Most fruit are toxic, the only decent ones are juicy and even they can be anti-thyroid like peaches and mangoes, or allergenic like melons. Just stick to tubers.

>>15964668

>Europeans were not eating breakfast for centuries, unless they were heavy laborers, and now all of the sudden it's the most important meal of the day

Any evidence of this?

>>15967655

Sure, but I'm talking about your reply to my post you cocksucker. Where in my post did I say anything about starch or oats. Quote it and tell me where the fuck your bloated smelly monkeybrain read "you have to eat oats, lads !"

Twatty pussy.

>>15958962

>unironically burn fat

How the fuck do you burn fat ironically, anyway? Stop using words if you don't know what they mean.

>>15967674

Learn to read english instead of imagining up people trying to instigate shit for your worthless anonymous posts.

>>15960652

Yeah its pretty fun but its workout oriented. Would love if it had a more arcade style mode that lets you box like wii boxing.

>>15967673

I don't have anything at hand right now, but it's not really a secret. Here is a Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_breakfast#Middle_Ages_(500%E2%80%931500)

The idea of three square meals only works in a well-regulated society where you can be certain that there is enough food available at regular times of the day. If the human organism really did require this much sustenance it would be impossible for hunter-gatherer tribes to survive.

>>15968125

People in the past were uniformly stunted because of lacking nutrion, you dummy. Where do you think the extra inches to the average height came from, ambient electricity?

>>15958962

>Can I unironically burn fat with either of these games?

Duh. What are you, retarded? If you're moving, you're burning calories. Fat gain/loss is calories in/calories out.

> cardio kills gains

If you're in the "I need to burn fat" stage, you aren't in a position to be worrying about your gains. Burn that fucking fat off first. Get on the treadmill. Don't do heavy lifting without cardio if you're already a fat fuck, you're just giving your fucked-up heart more work to do.

Lifting is good. Cardio is essential.

That said, you're not going to burn more than a few hundred calories an hour unless you're doing really intense cardio. Eat less, you fat fuck. You will never outrun your fork. An hour of Wii Boxing is going to burn off a single Snicker's bar at the most.

>>15968233

I apologize for the Reddit spacing. Posting from a phone is shit.

>>15967735

The joke is that cardio burns calories which could be spent making muscle so it kills your gains by using the energy which could have been put elsewhere, it's a half serious joke because if you were doing intensive cardio you would need to eat a lot more than you would if you were bulking and just lifting

>>15963383

>>15963952

>>15964668

Fruit is a healthy sugar (glucose) and artificial sugars are fructose and sucross. Your body can easily break down glucose to obtain energy, whereas it takes significantly longer to break down artificial sugars because of their complexity.

>>15968259

Fructose literally means "fruit sugar" and there's a ton of it in most sweet fruits.

>>15959040

hahahahahahahahahahahahha
