I fucking hate my hunger, and don't want to have to stuff my face with at least 1500 cal and wait a couple hours before going to the gym, every time I go to the gym, just to avoid having to experience it too badly when I come out the other end of a workout.
I have ordered some "fat burner" capsules that claim to have appetite/hunger/craving suppressing ingredients, however, so I'm looking forward to (hopefully) staying sated longer than 4 hours after eating a sizeable number of calories at breakfast.

Just eat some calorie light foods after you work out. Eat a banana or something healthy. You do not need to eat 1500 calories to go work out.
>I have ordered some "fat burner" capsules that claim to have appetite/hunger/craving suppressing
If you are fat (bmi 27 or above) go to the doctor, complain about hunger, and get phentermine. Phentermine works, but you do have to be fat to get it. Don't know what the rules are in leafland though. 27BMI is a US thing. If your "fat burner" capsules actually work, it might be tainted with DNP. DNP is basically the only fat burner that works, but it can kill you.
Otherwise, get your Testosterone and Estradiol checked. If your hunger is truly as bad as you say, you could have a hormone imbalance. Though, truth be told, I'm way more hungry now that I'm on TRT.

Eh, right now I lift maybe once a week, but I do cardio 6x a week. Trying to lose the last 5-10 pounds is a fucking bitch.

This is what I ordered. Basically it just increases your base metabolic rate, and reduces hunger and cravings.
You still need to put in the effort to ensure that you're burning more calories than you're taking in, they(Transparent Labs) just claim that the capsules make it easier to do that. There's also some things in there for performance enhancement, particularly in stressing situations, which dieting gets defined as.
Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely keep an eye out for DNP and actively avoid it. I've been supplementing zinc and getting sun when I can to help my body produce testosterone. I've noticed an improved mood and increased appetite(they usually go hand in hand, right?) that could be attributed to the sunlight, testosterone, or both.

I do lift. I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5 at the moment and have been doing that for 30 weeks, I'm fairly happy with the progress so far. I'm planning to switch to a routine that's more focused on bodybuilding probably after I've done about a year of SL 5x5.
I was going to copy what this guy did (seems to have had pretty good results): https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/4ajtpp/15_years_of_lifting_never_skipping_a_workout/

I dont believe in weight lifting and getting gains. I prefer to work out without equipment. I prefer being cut to being ripped with muscle mass.

Ok, it's a basic CA stack with 5-htp. If you want the same thing cheaper, you can do asprin and caffeine. It also has 5-htp, the studies have been very good on this for weight loss / hunger suppression. You can buy it all cheaper seperate. The studies on 5-htp said to take 30 minutes before meals, and the dose was higher, like around 300-400mg before meals. 5-htp should not be taken if you are on anti-depression medication, it can really fuck you up.
>I've been supplementing zinc and getting sun when I can to help my body produce testosterone.
If you suspect low T, you should get tested. You can get tested in the US for around $40.
>>216276
>I don't know how much to lift, or how often I should lift
Start with stronglifts. Download the app, start with the empty bar, go from there.

Why not both? Are you trying to be a twink?

I can't work out because of the crippling food shortages here in Canada. Plus the antifa furries INFULTRATED the police and designated a portion of the male pop as twinks. Please don't talk about bananas guys it's triggering PTSD.

I dont think being a "twink" and being "cut" are the same. Bulkfags just want physically bulk muscles which doesnt actually translate to amount of strength.

>Bulkfags just want physically bulk muscles which doesnt actually translate to amount of strength
People say this, but I think it's just sour grapes. I suppose it would be possible to get big using isolation exercises and not have much functional strength because of imbalances, but I have never seen this in real life. IRL, big dudes lift big, but not all the time, so maybe you catch them on a deload week and think "man, I could lift that much..."
At the gym, pretty much everyone bigger than me can lift bigger than me. Everyone smaller, lifts smaller. There's no big muscle loophole.

Don't know why my id keeps changing, my vpn must be bouncing. Anyway, I'm not the twink wanna-be.
My lifts in the past few months were 2pl8 bench, 260lb squat, 270 dead, 130 OHP. Don't know why, but my deadlift has always lagged. Otherwise, I'm pretty OK, haven't really been pushing my lifts lately, have been trying to cut for summer. Been doing 5-6 time a week hard cardio on a stepmill. Did a DNP run recently, going to do another short, low dose (2 week) dnp run soon.
5ft10, 172lbs about 18% bf. Six pounds lost would get me down to 15%. Not really concerned about losing muscle I'm on TRT.

I have a rack, and it's great. If you don't have the room or funds for a rack, start with a bench and dumbbells. You can't choke yourself out with dumbbells. You will outgrow them, but if you start, be consistent and make some gains, you will feel better about dropping money on an oly set and a rack.
BTW, craigslist is great for used fitness equipment. I got most of my stuff off there. Friends have had good luck with "play it again sports". Depends what they have in stock though.

I was sorta wondering if anyone would comment on it and hoped no one else would.
Mixed feelings looking back on it, it had some good stuff in it and clever stuff but his politics were stupid and the fact he included it so hard was insufferable.

I didn't mind the gay/bisexual stuff. I didn't mind the mockery of Tumblrisms like g4m3r gurlz and Kankri's microaggression chatter. I don't even think the sexuality and romantic bullshit itself was that big a deal since the characters are all young and exploring themselves, which does influence the way their friendships and relationships, and by consequence their stories, in a few interesting ways. And I didn't mind the dialogue since it was supposed to be from the perspective of dumb teens. I think the fact so much drama surrounded the writing of the webcomic, like the "I feel Caucasian/peachy" non-troversy, was what made it insufferable to sift through fan content and such.
I can enjoy a lot of things about Homestuck, and even look past the politics mostly. It's just a real slog to get through sometimes. So damn long, so damn long winded, and so damn complicated. At times, I admit to skipping huge dialoglogs and even segments of the narration, just to get to the impending sound/flash segments. And I'm not the type to do that kinda thing too often.

>Kankri
I honest to God couldn't tell if it was a mockery of Tublrism or doubling down on it, I assume its the former but still have no idea really.
Also yeah I skipped around a ton of my first read through. I re-read it two other times one with less skips and one where I sat down and slogged through all of it.
The most interesting portion of it is the Godtier system though which I still find useful to this day. Love that system and using it to analyze people. Gives you a lot of power over them and yourself is what I find.

Honestly, I think it's worse than that. I'm pretty sure that Hussie's of the sex-positive feminist stripe given the fact he gave Mama Maryam all that jibber jabber about how gender is the key to how Caliborn leads the patriarchy out of pure universe-alteringly powerful misogyny, and used it as a rebuttal to Kankri's nonsensical essays. I doubt he'd say this without his tongue in his cheek, but the feminist thing is an analysis of Homestuck lore that many lore aficionados seem to agree on fully.
Hey, uh you wanna take this chat off-board? Platonically, no flushed intentions here. I'm actually not sure of my class, but I've always consistently gotten Sagio, Dersite, and the Heart aspect from the extended zodiac quiz. I need to learn more about classes before I can really say what class suits me.
