/hb/ - Health & Beauty

I've been craving ice cream which usually hapens when I diet a little too hard so I had 100 extra calories at lunch instead.

nonas does walking actually reduce body fat at all, despite being in a pretty harsh deficit it seems like walking around has done nothing but make my calves bigger……

>>22175
How much are you walking? Walking doesn'tuse up that many calories but it does add up.

finally got a doctor that would give me ozempic for my pcos and have lost 20kilo
never even think about food anymore and it cured my pmdd too
kinda crazy

There's something in chocolate and the junk you used to consume that you're missing nutritionally and its messing up your metabolism

I'm still in love with running. It really improves my mental health, too. Highly recommend.

does my gym routine look ok? i've been seeing results, I think my arms are getting a little bigger than I would like though so I'm doing high weight/low rep sets.

>monday: leg day
>30 min incline walk (3 mph, 13% incline)
>3x8 RDL
>3x8 glute thrust
>3x6 leg extensions (don't want my quads getting too big)

>tuesday
>usually a rest day, will try to get my 10k steps in though

>wednesday

>thursday: pull day

is it just to get toned and towards weight loss/weight balance? if so this is not a bad routine. its very cardio focused but if you dont muscle growth then it probably will meet your goal. id recommend more for your push day (i do cable flys and dips with chest press) but, again, it depends on what you want to achieve (weight loss, muscle growth, toning, endurance, etc)

>>22261
yes, looking for a "pilates body" lol. want to lose as much fat as possible but still have muscle tone underneath.

I'm going to the gym today! I'm doing a full body workout. I'm still on baby weights but we all start somewhere.

>>22288
the chest muscle thing makes sense but it also well, burns the breast fat.
bell curve of insecurities lol

>>22289
>bell curve of insecurities
lol, absolutely accurate.
I yearn for that sweet spot in the middle, although I'll admit that the grass of that other extreme also looks greener to me which is probably an expected kind of bias…

true, considering that creepy moids sexualize your body so excessively I can see why. on the other side it’s more of hate than sexualize(essentially when moids don’t find women desirable, they hate them)for me, creepy pedo moids are drawn to me which is a smaller portion. It seems like other women seem creeped out by me having a flat chest which doesn’t go good with an autist monotone voice. i shouldnt internalize it but having been on forums so long where so many moids are, seeing them constantly comment about how flat women are freaks or how the pedo ones sexualize flat women really got to me. whenever i wear comfortable or cool clothes that aren’t cropped or tight/short i look like a troon (like one of those femboy drawings) essentially and it gets really exhausting having to deal with people perceiving me that way(i live in a really woke area). Going to buy some otc estrogen pills for menopause and see how it goes

>>22291
How about finding all the stuff broscience says gives /fit/izens man tits and doing the opposite

>>22292
this might be a good idea but i think some of it relates to hormone balancing, no?
but they like men anyways so they’re probably giving the few women that come across bad tips to purposely masculinize them kek

im not sure how healthy drinking canola oil is nona

My friend got prescription deodorant and then eventually got her sweat glands removed completely… So maybe to a doctor. Also how often do you wash your bath towel? Odor can get onto you from that too.

>>22251
I use a clean towel. i have two and wash them each week/twice a wk. So at most I use one towel like 2-3 times. I also do exfoliation with one of those body scrubber cloths and put it thru the washing machine weekly.

green tea and spearmint tea helped me with anxiety/stress body odor. i had the same problem.

men's deodorant also helps if you're able to budget it. it's not my favorite but it helps so much and typically that gross man-smell dissipates quickly.

Eating greens, veggies(avoid onion tho), fruits, drinking lots of water all generally help with that.

I know you asked about foods specifically, but for me being in solitude in a well lit room helps a lot with keeping stress away too. I can't stand being in the same room with someone else for too long tbh it drives me insane and stresses me out. It's situational, but maybe it could be relevant to someone.

>>22257
I tried the men’s deodorant trick, laying my regular + my perfume over it and deodorizing around the other sweat gland area. This was a lifesaver. Also been drinking the teas on a regular and eating more veggies Thank you nona :)

Trash talking christofascist tradwives is nothing new in my neck the woods (USA). And if anything I'm rooting for any hypothetical Indian woman wherever she is (probably not on this board) because God knows she's going to inherit the world from the most worthless male population lmao

Also, op, you look good, that dress just isn't flattering. Truthfully i don't think it would look good on most people no matter how skinny

>>22271
you're fatter than average??? are you american or in asia? you're fine.

>>22181
Your body looks fine, but idk about that outfit…
Your arms look a bit thin ig.
>>22204
Are you sure you should be losing more weight?
A bit of a workout sounds like a good idea though, especially if you don't usually work out. Doesn't have to be anything specific, although I hear a lot of people recommending lifting these days. Just remember to eat well if you're doing sports to stay healthy. You really don't need to lose more weight than this…
>>22271
With some people it's hard to tell. Some people think women with larger breasts are automatically fat and some people will call anyone fat just to be mean. You don't look anorexic and you don't look fat. Just normal, really. Normal is something people at an unhealthy weight aim for and you look like you're already there. It's good.

You look great nona, I don't really think you look overweight. Unless you are having difficulty with movement, health etc., I don't think you need to change your diet very much. Losing weight isn't a problem, but you could probably gain some and still look fine. I really want to emphasize that you just look midsize and perfectly ok, wouldn't call you skinny but definitely not chubby either. Judging by your arms, you are maybe just a different body shape with narrow hips/chest but wider waist? Also, both cardio and weight training are great for losing weight. Packing on (light) muscle helps you burn fat. Cardio does burn calories directly, but weight lifting helps you build muscle (which burns more calories at rest than fat, so you eventually don't have to do so much cardio).

Same
The shit my bf likes are weird ugly stuff he saw in a hentai. I have a couple nice pieces I love I stashed away to wear when he’s not home, I feel special and pretty in them

>>22169
My bf has a some pieces of lingerie (idk if he buy them for a girl in the past or whatever) but they’re ugly, I told him today that I’m gonna start to buy my own lingerie damn he has a really bad taste

It honestly looks uncomfortable and like it would ride up your ass, the stockings are nice I guess but I would rather wear fabric ones than the ones scene in lingerie

>Does any woman actually like lingerie
Yes, I think lingerie on other people looks nice.
>Does any woman like wearing lingerie
Yeah, that too.
I like wearing lingerie when it's cute and comfortable. Same with pyjamas, hair clips, cute pencils, phone wallpapers, whatever, if it's cute and causes no discomfort, that's all the reason I need.
All a matter of taste and mood. If I wanna feel fancy, I'll wear lace, if I'm more in a mood for sth cute, I'll wear my underwear set with little bows on it. I also have silk underwear which is so fancy and comfy, I should probably buy more of it… Whether I put that much time in picking out the perfect underwear for the day depends entirely on how much time and money I have for little things like that though. I usually just wear whatever. I probably have way too many socks but I love them.
>g-strings
I've tried out a tanga once and decided to never wear that again, too uncomfy. No way I'd wear something similar that looks even more uncomfortable.

Same its like I got lactose intolerant decades into being alive somehow

>>22161
Thanks. Alcohol is my poison of choice haha.

I've gained a kilogram and I feel conflicted about it. Trying to trust the process. It's hard to say how much my body is changing because of the bloating. But I don't dislike it. And mentally I feel a lot better.

I got an unsolicited compliment on my body today which made me feel good! I didn't realize how much I craved validation but I feel more secure in gaining weight now.

I ate (half of) the rice that came with my lunch even though I knew it wasn't calculated into the calorie count I looked up earlier. It was great!

I've been feeling weak and super hungry this week and I realized it's probably because I've been under my calorie goal for the past few days. I'm going to try to honor my hunger and eat when I need to.

men will find you revolting, as well as everyone else

It’s utter larp. Men are repelled by a shaved head and unrevealing, cringe clothing. These normgroid, pseudo-feminists are just partaking in a strangely named a trend.

>>21935
Men are going to leer no matter what you wear. Hijabs and burqas are the logical extreme of "man repellent" yet guys will still find a way. his just seems really pointless; wear what you like.

>>22137
Hijab and wearing burqa wont help.
>t. Arab hijabi

This. There is no outfit that will stop harassment from a man you encounter late at night at an unsafe place. I'm not even from a country that imposes any clothing on women and was just wearing full winter garb, coat, scarf, hat, you could barely see my face, I'd just gotten off a call and started reading a book at night when some guy came up to me with "do you have fire" and when I didn't, that fucker took out his own lighter to light up his cigarette and proceeded to harass me, talking about my eyes because it was one of the few things I hadn't covered, they really don't give a shit, anything that vaguely implies woman is subject to harassment as soon as there's any vulnerability to exploit, like being alone at night for 5 fucking minutes while you're just waiting for your bus. I was lucky there was an open shop nearby where I could go to get away from this creep and I ended up not even having to because another guy came by who told this creep off for me and I could get home without anyone following me, but damn, at this point you'd straight up have to pretend to be a perhaps tall and intimidating guy late at night to avoid this kind of "flirting". It was a one time thing and I usually feel quite safe so I don't feel that pressured to alter my appearance out of fear of harassment, but I get why people try. I don't think there's anything you can wear to really avoid harassment 100%, especially if you're petite or even just short like me (I don't know if it's true, but it's my assumption that short people get harassed more often) so you might as well wear whatever you want, right… I also don't want my clothing options to be restricted just because some asshole harassed me once. Like, I occasionally wear more revealing stuff but the only time I was harassed when I was wearing something that showed more skin was my regular bathing suit (not even my bikini) at the pool and that was like 1 time out of hundreds of times of being at the pool and once again, I was harassed because I was alone and the guy was twice my size and could get away with it. I think harassment has everything to do with vulnerability and less with how attractively you're dressed. I've mostly been harassed when I was a teenager, never did anything for my appearance either (too lazy for make-up and shaving) but I was a visibly anxious teen to the point that boys would outright kick me on the stPost too long.

>moid approval
I mean… Technically yes but also no. All beauty is designed to appeal to the moid tastes, so at it's root, it's still for moid approval, but it's not what these women have on their mind when doing this, nowadays beauty is not only needed to attract men but to be at peace with yourself and feel like you have any value at all.
