MY BREATHING IS AFFECTING MY WEIGHT

  • I am jealous to the point of passionate hate for those guys that look all jacked. I'm all like, "I want to breathe, but I also want to look like that. HOW DO THEY DO IT?" Then I just breathe a bunch and watch an entire series on netflix. I think I've got an intense case of breathing dysmorphia...

    This one time, I breathed so much, I felt really sick and full afterward. I was all like, I'm never doing THAT again. But I just can't seem to stop breathing! I'm afraid I'll binge breathe again.

    My problem is that when I'm bored, I breathe. When I'm sad, I breathe. When I'm happy, I breathe. How do I stop bored/emotional breathing?

    I bet you set MFP to lose too many breaths a day. Read the "breathe more to lose more" thread, calculate the number of breaths you need per day to maintain life, then subtract 20%. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Have you tried the no-breathing diet? Basically, you take all the oxygen you need for the day, whizz it up in a blender and drink it. You'll find you don't need to breathe until the next morning.

    It stops you pooping properly,but that's a small price to pay.

    In fact, thinking about it, it stops you doing most things. :ohwell:

    OMG one of my friends totes tried this. She died, but I think it's worth a shot if I follow the rules to the letter. Thank you!

    But I bet she now looks super skinny!

    Don't worry, OP, breathing timing isn't important, you can breathe all the way up until bedtime.
    I'm in bed having my last delicious breathe right now!

    Everyone breathes. You're going to have to figure out a way to stop letting it get in the way of your progress and deal with it. It only happens once a month.....wait, wrong thread!

    You know, I drink water. I was starting to wonder if that was why I'm fat.

    You should drink green tea, it will help with the water cravings.

    It is NOT as simple as "breathing in vs. breathing out"

    One does not simply breathe.jpg

    ETA: Dr. Oz says to take Raspberry Keytone breath spray.

    You just have to blink faster. It'll burn more calories and nobody will notice any puff in your stomach.

    Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina

    this is too anecdotal. How about some peer reviewed scientific back-up on that ? Also, assuming this is true, wouldn't it lead to more, especially heavy breathing......which really does not help the poor OP. Not helpful at all......

    OK, so I've been breathing for around 26 years now, but I've only just started to really think about losing weight, but, the thing is, every time I breathe out, my stomach sorta like, puffs out too, making me look even bigger!!!

    Does anyone else have this problem? I've tried slowing my breathing down as much as I can so my stomach looks sucked in as much as possible, but if anyone has any tips on how not to breathe that'd be great!!

    Mine tends to puff out more when I breathe IN. Air is very fattening.

    He is wrong.....! Breathing when drinking water, or if submerged in water is difficult, which means people breathe less. Less breathing = slimmer stomach . You just have to make the effort and stick to it and this group is here to help you......:o).
    Nobody said it would be easy and some days are worse than others, but hang in there, you will be fine.
    Good Luck !
