Weight loss

[fingercuffs]

Ever got to the point where your body takes over? My tummy is tummy okay doing more than should be but legs and arms are like straws.

Only realised today, and it isn't bad but my arms are starting to grow fluff. It's a natural reaction for protection. Not that I really care what y'all think whether I was Bigfoot but it is really fluff, it's interesting knowing what's happening and why.

When I was severely underweight I had thick hair on my arms, it makes sense.

You aren’t sleeping!

Sleep and have a smaller eating window and bigger fasting window.

Do you go to the gym? Are you eating healthy and living an active lifestyle? It is natural to decline as you get older but exercise and healthy lifestyle habits are paramount to preserving what you have as time goes on. Also healthy foods aid in mental acuity as well as emotional balance.

Also your threads are becoming less and less coherent

I had 2 hour yesterday. But when I was home I was managing hours with my edibles.

Less than 8 decreases brain function. Repeatedly getting less than 6 REALLY decreases brain function.

I eat healthily apart from once a week if even that.I'm a good cook, it's really the only thing I'm really good at.
I can't exercise unfortunately. No need for life story, I just can't at the moment.

I know. Sometimes I go 2 days with none and then have a dew days of 10 hours.
When I get home I'm eating the cookies I made in the hope I won't need anything else.

Don’t sell yourself short, you’re also good at being argumentative.

Just eat slightly less than you ate to get to your current weight and then when you stop losing weight doing that eat slightly less than that (or do slightly more exercise and eat the same amount). Simple.

Did you type this in Chinese and google translate it back to English?

eat more protein and less carbs

and at the very least go for a walk outside, little things add up when they become habits

Where your body loses weight (and stores it) is almost entirely a function of genetics. All the ads/products that show people targeting their core for a six pack is nothing but snake oil/smoke and mirrors.

There is also a gender based component to fat storage as well. Woman (on average) tend to hold weight in their lower body (thighs and buttox in particular), while men develop more of a pear shape with weight being concentrated through the mid section.

When you say that your arms are beginning to grow fluff, as your referring to fat, or body hair? The former is explained by the above (genetics.... perhaps lack of muscle tone due to minimal resistance training). As for body hair, that can be a bit more complicated - the first question would be: Did you always grow hair in these areas? Are your prone to hair growth on the body overall? If the answer is no, then in all likelihood, your hormone levels are out of whack. Unexpected hair growth (for both men and woman) tend to be the result of excessively high androgen levels - this is exacerbated for people who use steroids. I shave my upper body twice a week, but the hair on the top of my head seems to be losing its battle with baldness.

I'm going to assume that your not on steroids, and would guess that caloric restriction/deficit has sent your endocrine system for a loop. Ask your doctor for blood work, and check your thyroid, estrogen, prolactin and testosterone levels in particular. Progesterone (steroid, but not in an anabolic sense) can also cause unexpected hair growth, particularly if it is being topically applied.

Probably nothing to worry about, but that's my 2 cents as an armchair medical doctor.

When I lose weight my penis has more fluff because there's less fluff

lol i haven't slept 8 hours in over 3.5 years. in that span i've maybe slept 7 hours only a handful of times. typically i sleep 5-6 hours a night, i dont care how late i went to sleep 4am my eyes are open my brain is in go mode and im out the door to the gym by 445. i do however nap, where as before id nap 1-2 hours about 2x a day, ive finally gotten it down to 1-2x 30min naps in the day.

Diet and exercise are super important, especially as you enter the latter stages of life.

When we are young, we can get away with poor diet, lack of exercise and sleep deprivation much better. Then again, our regenerative functions are a lot better, the body produces more testosterone, metabolism is higher, immune system better, etc.

So the older we get, the more we have to do to strengthen our mind and body. Better diet, more exercise, less stress, more rest. Fundamentals.

Ignore those and you will most certainly pay.

Napping helps

My body hair definitely keeps me warmer. I hope you are doing OK.
