   I've been working out and losing a lot of weight, but my weight's been stalled at "obese minus one or two pounds" for a few weeks. It's time for me to kick my diet up to the next level.
   
   I am about to go on the "Velocity Diet." It can be looked up, but the idea is functionally this:
   
   1) You consume nothing but fucking protein shakes and supplements...to the tune of 900 calories a day.
   2) You buy a big box of the stuff and that's your entire food intake for a goddamn month.
   3) Yes you have to go work out and lift while doing this.
   
   #NoFoodNovember let's fucking go :LOL:

     @Cyrillic It was in fact shilled to me by a protein shake company 🤷
     
     We will be finding out if it *works* in about 2 weeks.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating that's a strange diet, even carnivore isn't as protein dense, this sounds like it's shilled by protein shake companies

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Cyrillic is it safe to assume that if you suddenly go radio silence that this diet caused your arms to fold the wrong way and left you completely unable to type

     @sapphire @PafuPafuVt Yeah I'm kinda in the same spot with not losing weight/gaining muscle anymore. This is meant to be an anorexia-tier cut diet: we'll see how well this goes.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @PafuPafuVt better to just go full cut, rebuild muscle after you hit about 10 pounds below your target weight
     
     t. been trying to lift and cut at the same time, not losing weight and not gaining muscle

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @PafuPafuVt you’re not going to retain muscle through weight loss. Your body preferentially cuts back muscle over fat so you will see some reduction (especially when you end up hurting yourself trying to lift on an awful diet)

     @sapphire @PafuPafuVt I know I won't retain all of it - I'm hoping for "lose less" rather than "gain more"

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Fr friend, give yourself a week or two. Sometime weightloss is complicate, you might be retaining water, growing muscle, or just holding onto weight. If you are obese, your fat cells are going to try and stay as swelled up as long as possible. Do you measure your body by inches or just by weight?

     @PafuPafuVt I'm aware that weight loss is complicated, but I'm somewhat clearly not making much more progress and I gotta hit the fucking gas on this stuff.
     
     I report body fat percentage, and the gym has a machine that measures that pretty well (they charge a small fee to use it, but it's entirely reasonable to get it measured every month). I'm trying to reduce how much body fat I have while retaining most of my muscle, so it's more like I'm measuring two different weights.
