You seem to believe that /fit/ actually knows what works.

This is wrong.

> Can we make threads here?
Sure.

> Will you be a patient and help us take our first steps toward a healthy lifestyle?
No, read the sticky.

Makes it easier for me if its all in one place I have no problem helping

The sticky has all you need. It works, slow, steady, and for life.

Tell them to read the sticky in /fit/

If they come here they'll get abused for being stupid (ie they are wrong, /fit/ knows they are wrong). If you want to look good lift weights. If you are a girl you won't get huge (unless you are eating a shit load of calories).

It's all in the sticky as to why girls should lift weights. Why girls won't get huge. Why you have to lift weights to look good (otherwise you'll be skinny but not toned).

tl;dr read the sticky.

Yes, we shall share with you the deepest secrets of weight loss and the path to a more healthy body.

>yfw it's diet and excercise

I swear this is some /b/tard wanting us to raid /cgl/

>>6136932
But trust me, you are leaps and bounds more informed than we are.

>>6136943
Oh, I have. My fellow seagulls are told to do so as well. And many ignore that advice. While I understand it's impossible to get someone who simply wants a Get Rich Quick method to pay attention and actually read more than 2 sentences on the matter, I still feel that there are many that are afraid that it will all be information they don't want to hear.

"But I don't want to be a body builder!"

I guess there's no helping those that can't do something as simple as that...

>>6136953
Thanks again for always being in every thread helping out.

>>6136914

I'll only start lurking over there if I'm promised hot women and tits galore.

>>6137010
>"But I don't want to be a body builder!"
Then I recommend actually reading the fucken sticky. It even answers this question. It answers it 7 times in fact. Just to get through to the slow seagulls that you hang out with.

If they want to dismiss it without reading it then we can't help. Every time a thread about weight loss comes up link them to the sticky.

We can get rid of the topics about getting ready for a con for you once we get rid of the getting ready for a reunion after I've gained 20lbs threads here.

The problem is rampant ERRYwhere.

>>6137026
>But trust me, you are leaps and bounds more informed than we are.

I am. /fit/ is not.

You know, /fit/ hates science, but loves broscience. It takes ages for scientific consensus to get a foothold here.

You're better off reading real books.

>>6136967
>If they come here they'll get abused for being stupid

That's exactly why they don't come here.


Is it too much to ask that sometimes we have our hands held? I'm sure that's a silly thing to ask.. I know not everyone would want to do that. But staying on /cgl/, a lot of pro-ana pops up.

We were all noobs at one point to whatever our interests were. Looking back, I'm sure we were all glad to have someone who took our derp seriously and helped out.

>>6137054
Ah, that sucks. Didn't know that that was happening here. I don't frequent because.. well... I read the sticky. My questions were answered.

>>6137066
Point taken.


Well, thank you anons for responding seriously to my plight. You're not as mean and scary as we've been told. Free feel to stop by every now and then! Your advice will be very much welcomed! Just remember to mention that you're from /fit/, we get a lot of seagulls saying things they think to be true about weight-loss and exercise.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

>>6137029
Well, we have our "motivation threads".

>>6137129
>weight loss

Low intensity cardio (jogging is best)
Low fat diet (works better than low carb and is tastier)

Low carb is faster, but can fuck you up if you do it too long (iirc Atkins recommended only a few weeks on low carb).

If you hit a plateau, refeed (eat normally) for a day or three, then start again.

If you want to get toned, you have to do some resistance training: "Toned" means having muscular tonus (ie. being slightly tensed always). Looks better.

Resistance training can be weightlifting, pushups/situps, isometrics, whatever. Don't go low on reps - of course you won't become Arnold overnight, but bulking up muscles can be very bad for your proportions (example: work your flank muscles (obliques) to lose your hourglass figure).

Aside from that, it's basically just common sense: The body improves the things you train pretty specifically.

Also: Spot reduction works, BUT you have to do a LOT of repetitions for this. Picture related, he did over 1000 crunches nonstop.

If only /fit/ provided readily available information about working out so that "noobs and lurkers" wouldn't have to make new threads and feel embarrassed.

Oh well, you have a gaping axe wound between your legs, I guess you're to fucking stupid to read the sticky YOU DUMB FUCKING CUNT

eh, sure I'll help.
Posting pictures of a certain well known /fit/izen who also liked cosplaying to show my support

>>6137209
Please be trolling.

Not worth helping.

>>6137209
Just because you can troll these people doesn't mean that you should.

>>6137308
Thanks bro.

I was going to link to a thread, but I suppose I shouldn't, they troll themselves quite enough about dieting and fitness. I've made a corresponding thread on /cgl/ letting them some people have their backs. And to ask questions. Hopefully they'll ask questions that someone can answer. And maybe some will find their way here.

>>6137071
>>But staying on /cgl/, a lot of pro-ana pops up

I find this kind of surprising. I would expect a lot of vitriol against that sort of thing, it's a view that I just sort of associate with image centered people, and while obviously looking the part is essential for cgl, I would think that stems from interest in the genre, and that your typical demographic is the nerdy intellectual type.

tl;dr --> REALLY??

>>6137209

>>6137308

>>6137472
>nerdy intellectual
OH HELL NO! /cgl/ is full retard, they house every thinkable attetionwhore (hot or not), underaged con sluts and worst of all- the bane of /a/, /jp/ and /v/.
THE ACTUAL WEEABOOS
The kind who can't behave in public to save their lives, wear silly Naruto headbands, have an extreme obsession with yaoi (drawn gay porn) and who try to speak in semi-broken Japanese.

You have my support, but it does not mean that I like you in any way or form, /cgl/.

>>6137567
no, zigcat

>>6137541
Sup, God!
/fit/izens, do you have more photos of things like this for us? If there's already a thread going, you can just link me I suppose.

Hi cgl

You are welcome to read and link to the link in our sticky.

>>6137669
Hi, OP here, I've done so.

About 3-4 people not included myself are linking to it as well. Good stuff. VERY good stuff.

>>6137654
lol have to go on /cgl/ on my phone since im banned from there.

>>6138006
Seriously? Haha, didn't know that.
ETA on when your ban will be lifted?

If you have photos that you want to contribute to the other threads, just throw them up here and I'll push them over for ya!

>>6137736

The Sticky. It gives the knowledge to start on your journey to /fit/. However, there is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

>>6138028
Lol a day.
Meh. I'll dump all my pics tomorrow.
