Anyone got a "path to no-self" available in physical or digital format? Thanks.

Whatever. Cut the semantics and go take some photos.

If you eat enough of anything in insane amounts, you’re going to gain weight. It's just math. But out of all the macros—proteins, fats, carbs—you're least likely to see that happen from protein alone.

Guarana. You can just grab some at a local CVS if you need it.

I started looking into this because of that. It’s honestly surreal to realize I know absolutely nothing about the very things keeping me alive.

They’re brainwashing us, plain and simple. While everyone stays miserable and unhealthy, they make it easy to control you by pushing retail therapy, junk food, and those fake, smiling faces on TV. It’s a cycle. There are studies out there showing that most types of diabetes could be managed easily just through diet—something I've mentioned here more times than I can count—but you won't see that reported in the news. People have been conditioned to be repulsed by actual nutrition. After years of being bombarded with nonsense through every media outlet imaginable, if you actually eat healthy, people look at you like you're an idiot. I have friends who aren't total morons; they appreciate good music and watch decent films, but the second you bring up real, nutritious food, they shut down. Even my own parents are like that. I can scarf down twenty sliders and nobody bats an eye, but the moment I eat five eggs, they start lecturing me about how I'm eating too much fat. It's ridiculous.

My weight fluctuates wildly—up 5 pounds one week, down 5 the next. I’ll fit into my jeans one day, then five days later, they won't even button. You get the idea.
The real issue is me. After lunch, I have this absolute obsession with something sweet—bread, jam, butter. It's a compulsion.
Just look at what I've eaten today so far, up until 2:00 PM:

Milk and cereal. That's how I start, hoping I won't overeat later.
An apple and some fruit yogurt.
Soup, beef, and rice.
Two slices of bread with butter and honey, plus another slice with jam.
Five pancakes with jam, followed by another little fruit yogurt.

I wouldn't call myself fat, so I don't need a massive diet. I just want to shed those 5 pounds to get lean. The problem is I keep procrastinating on eating right. For instance, when I finally commit to running every day while still eating normally, I drop 3 pounds instantly. The catch is that phase only lasts about a week before I slip back.
So, help me get my act together. Tell me exactly what to do, and I'll actually stick to it. Just keep in mind that since it's winter here, I can't really run outside. We get these brutal windstorms, and the freezing air leaves me winded and unable to go long. Not to mention the constant colds.
Be smart about this and give me some advice!

Believe me, you can run through a storm if you actually have the willpower. Honestly, I'm jealous of your appetite. As for losing weight, head over to the Fitness and Recreation subforum. It's just a few clicks away.

Good grief. If anyone actually tries this, then...

Fair enough. If it's for cancer, then sure, you have to try everything. But mark my words, there’s definitely going to be someone out there trying to exploit this for weight loss too.

This subforum is titled "Health." Forty days of posting... just a great way to strip away all your muscle mass. And once that's done, what's the plan? Your basal metabolic rate is trashed, and you can't even start eating normally again without risking serious complications. You might as well have called this thread "Anorexia."

Dairy, eggs, fish (tuna is fine, even canned)
Oats (depending on how they're processed)

Oat protein doesn't have a complete amino acid profile, so its biological value is basically zero. Legumes have plenty of protein too, but if you're a guy, watch out with the soy. Vegetarians obviously need to mix different plant sources to get all the essential amino acids through protein breakdown. As for hiddensailor60, 100g of chicken breast has about 21 grams of protein—some sources say 16, so let's just call it 18 or 19 to be safe. Your actual protein needs depend on your age and activity level, so you really need to be more specific. What do you actually do? How old are you? What are your fitness goals?

William Collins6 said:I’ve got some... what specifically are you looking for?

It’s got carbs and pure protein (count the amino acids).
The real question is what you need it for and what your actual plan is.
But I'm guessing you're hitting the gym...

Fine, here's my recommendation since you're asking.

Grab an isolate—100% whey—or something like Anabolic whey, and you'll definitely pack on weight.

Check out the bodybuilding forums.

It’s got carbs, proteins, and fats. Proteins build muscle and enzymes, etc. Protein isn't just some supplement; it's a requirement in your diet. You'll probably gain less fat from protein than anything else you could put in your mouth.
