Who here is on a /diet/?
I'm 5'4 and 165lb and trying to lose some weight. I started a diet yesterday. Trying to eat lots of veg and lean proteins and keeping my total calorie intake below 800.I'm so hungry tho
How's your diet going?

I'm currently 5"4 and 136, trying to get down to 120-something. I was 150 during the end of Summer and after tweaking my eating habits I ended up losing a bit of weight. I try to eat a big meal once a day, a practice I picked up from intermediate fasting, I usually don't feel that hungry in the morning so this works really well. I still drink water/coffee and eat snacks during the afternoon, typically fruits but eating a big meal once a day has helped curb my binging issue.
I have yet to start exercising though, my university has a huge gym so I'll probably take advantage of that and start.

I’m 5’7” and 159, came down from 187 by eating sub-600 calories per day on and off with occasional fasting.
I’m trying to get down to my old weight of 130 but have been having a rough time the past couple of months. After cutting alcohol out of my diet (the reason I’m fat to begin with) I’ve picked up a new habit of stuffing my face all the time so I’ve been only maintaining.

800 a day seems too low, I'd recommend 1200 instead so you don't crash and burn.

I'm 5'9 and 145 lbs. I started at 160 lbs and lost 15 lbs in like 2 months, it pretty much melted off on ~1000-1300kcal a day.
But now that I'm at 145lbs it's so much harder to lose.. my end goal is 130lbs (19.2 bmi) but it's so difficult now! I'll eat 1200kcal for a week and barely lose 1 pound, where as before it was dropping like crazy. I'm very meticulous with calorie counting so it pissed me off and I stopped trying.
Trying to get back on it now though, any tips for losing the final 15?

>>6225Why stop what's working so well for you, even if the results slowed down? That initial burst of loss always feels great for weight loss, but committing to the dietary long haul is always the biggest bitch in the grand scheme.
Sticking to it, and adding the smallest bit of extra cardio is probably your best bet to be where you want to be!

>>6227It kinda sucks because i lost the weight while I was out of school/work and had little to no responsibilities. Eating less than 1300 calories at my height is actually suffering if I have a lot to do between 12 hours shifts and studying. I've just been eating at maintenance since everything got busy.
I have no idea how people eat at a deficit when they have shit going on. I guess i dont know how to lose in a healthy way?

Anonymous 6235
>>6233I'm the same height as you. Years ago when I was in college I did 1200 calories a day with the help of frozen vegetables and cheap fish. I could still fit in a beer or treat now and then. I think I was around 115 pounds then? So you would easily still lose weight even with just a few hundred more calories a day. Focus on nutrient-rich foods.
But the stress of school and such low calorie intake was really hard on my body. Take care of yourself please.

stop doing that shit.
The average woman needs about 1900-2100 for maintenance. to lose weight at about one pound a week you need to get about 1500ish. Actually starving yourself for a long period of time will do jack shit once your metabolism catches up or alternatively your body thinks you're actually starving and starts eating your muscles.
Please for the love of god just get 1400~ calories a day, 40% protein, avoid simple carbs and the unhealthy kinds of fat, and do a bit of cardio every day. Like just run/swim/bike or whatever for 20 minutes a day , power through the sure muscles, they'll go away after you get used to exercising.
Don't do extreme shit please thank you

>>6262>"My bmi is 20.8 anyway,">actually believing this isn't fatHoly fuck my sides.
A BMI of 20-21 might not be clinically ~overweight~ but it's still chubby. Unless you're a literal body builder (which I highly doubt since you're sitting on your ass getting butthurt on an imageboard instead of spending those hours at the gym) you still have a bloated face, flabby stomach, saddlebags, thighs that touch and cellulite.
Also 500-800 calories per day isn't automatically anorexia you absolute dumbass. The posters ITT talking about eating that amount to lose weight are all still clinically overweight based on their stats therefore don't meet the diagnostic criteria to be anorexic, which requires you to be severely underweight and malnourished.
But go on ahead dumb bitch, continue whining about not being able to find a community online to whine with other fatties about not being able to reach your skinnyfat goal that is only 10kg less than your current weight. Maybe stop stuffing your fat face full of 1200 calories and do things the efficient way like the rest of us. Once you see actual results maybe and reach your goal you'll realize what a fucking retard you're being.

i started at 145 pounds / 5’4, i’m now down to 105. i think i slowly slipped into an eating disorder after becoming sick and not being able to eat over 500 calories for like a week straight, my appetite changed drastically so it was physically harder to eat more and seeing the number go down was very pleasing after being pretty much overweight or chubby for all of my life prior. it’s very scary as sometimes i’ve fainted or gotten very very bad ‘brain fog’ where i cannot speak correctly without stuttering or pronouncing things correctly.

I've managed to lose a lot of weight after I got over a horrible episode of depression, which I'm quite proud of. I've been eating small portions often and been using one of those complete food drinks (not soylent, but huel) which is very handy when I'm too lazy to cook. Makes my shits coherent af too.
I'm quite happy with my current weight so I don't want to lose a lot more. I'm more trying to gain muscle in my arms and torso, so I have more strength and stamina for going out camping in the woods, things like that.

If you have fat on your body your blood will deliver the glucose to 100% of your organs. No damage. Their is literally ZERO RISK from not eating as long as you are fat.

>>6380I'm someone who does 24-48 hour fasts for discipline, and my rule is if you feel like shit you should stop, whether it's physically or mentally. If you're out of breath climbing a flight of stairs, go eat something. If you start getting syncope or headaches, go eat something.
And whether or not you're doing calorie restrictions, make sure the food you get is nutrient dense to compensate for the calorie deficiency. There's plenty of delicious food out there that's high in nutrients and low in calories, like kale and broccoli.
IMO the best way to lose weight is slowly with exercise and a slight deficit. In my own experience, the more drastic your diet, the more likely you are to break it and revert back to your old ways.

Of course they ate small prey and vegetables on a daily basis but it wasn't their main source of calorie income.First of all, "prehistoric" hunter-gatherer societies predominantly relied on gathering vegetables and fruits for their daily caloric intake. Meat was eaten when it was available. They did not fast unless there was no food available. I have no idea what you're talking about. Like cavemen are the ideal standard of health anyway? Wtf is this stupid ass statement.
>How about mentioning the other half of the problem. How much do you work outWorking out doesn't matter nearly as much as what you put in your mouth (if goal is weight loss). The average person does not work out enough to break a sweat regularly so suggesting 2000 calories a day for every woman is retarded.
>How about you stop repeating jews news. Do you really want to appeal to the most common "beauty standard"? I'd be scared if 90% of men found me attractiveLOL wtf? Did you really just ask me if I wanted to be considered universally attractive? Why would you be afraid of being attractive?
>I'm not supposed to give my opinion but pic related is why bmi is bullshit. Coach potato and /fit/fag can have same bmi but look totally different.BMI is a general guideline for health. It doesnt matter that couch potato and fitfag look different at a 23 bmi, they're both in a healthy range. In a country where there is an overwhelming obesity issue the problem isn't fit people being misrepresented into the higher end of normal.

I hit an all-time low on my weight loss journey this past week but the past couple of days I went through some emotional trauma so I’ve been stuffing my face full of probably 2000-3000 calories each day. I turned to food since I’m trying to avoid depending on alcohol again but regardless I still feel horrible physically and mentally.
I hope tomorrow is better and I can get back on track. If I can’t manage to constrict then I at least hope I can manage to eat a healthy amount of food.

>>6388I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't know if this helps, but what helps me when I'm relying on food for emotional support is to not allow any junk food within the house. Even if I end up ordering takeout (which I rarely do because I'm cheap), it's better than eating 2 family sized chip bags and skittles because I'm upset.
I hope everything gets better soon.

I keep breaking my diet. I can always stay motivated to work out, but I have a massive sweet tooth and tend to have INSANE cravings. I will binge on all the sweet food in my house and feel so guilty about it I'll take laxatives to purge. I try to keep sweet stuff out of the house, but I also get stressed out and use these foods to cope with the big sad around weekends/holidays. It's really discoraging to have to lose the same 5 pounds over and over. ):

I’m sure most people on the internet would coil up in disgust at anyone whose BMI is over 25 but I’m curious about your take.

>>6422Not that anon, but I only consider people who are so large that they require others to make accommodations for them, as in needed a scooter to go grocery shopping or needing two seats on a plane, as "whales". So at least a 30+ BMI
However, if you're actually calling any of these people whales or fatties directly you're not a good person. You're entirely entitled to that opinion, but you're not being helpful to anyone. I hate nothing more than people who shit on fat people under the guise of "encouraging them to lose weight".

I'm the anon you're quoting and only consider people "whale status" when it starts affecting the way they walk (waddle) or it starts wearing their body down (esp joints). I obviously don't care about the individual health of every fat person I don't know like
>>6423 mentioned. I mean, I'm disgusted that so many people are obese and that they become absolute burdens to everyone else just because they want to eat food. Who wouldn't be? How can you respect that kind of person?
That being said, 25-30 bmi really isn't that noticeable. There's nothing wrong with having an overweight phase and correcting it. I've never been in that range personally, but I understand how someone could slip into it d/t stress, having kids, decreased exercise but same intake.
But there is a point where you reach pic related (the starting point of whalehood imo) and you think, i really need to change something about myself. And if you can't pull together the will power to correct it or prefer shoveling food into your mouth, it's really hard for me to respect that kind of person. My opinion of course. If that person doesn't care that other people lose respect for them b/c they prefer stuffing their face that's up to them of course. They're adults they can do whatever their oversized hearts want.

My roomie/friend helped me get on her diet because I got sick of this shit.
I lost weight because I discovered (at least for my friend) her skinniness isn't a meme. She's 100lb at 5'2" because her diet is (for anyone who wants it) :
Breakfast: Skip or smoothie
Lunch: 1 cup of sugarless greek yogurt, fried rice, lots of veg and fruit with a portion of dairy. Any combination of.
Dinner: Greens (fresh or stir fried in olive oil), noodles, non-oily soups, rice, plain chicken, marinated beef (with the fat all cut out), high quality cheese. Any combination of.
Roomie has a good bill of health and my own health improved a lot eating what she ate though I admittedly portioned more, being taller. I also noticed her idea of a snack is literally 3 oreos or a glass of almond milk. She still eats fast food, which was the surprising thing for me, but only twice a month… compared to my in-progress habit of eating out twice a week. Oof.
The wild thing is the memes were right. The cravings for sugar and processed food legitimately go away after a harsh withdrawal. It makes me think if some cases of obesity should be treated as symptoms of addiction.
Anonymous 6472
>>6470Sounds about right. Me:
Breakfast: Skip (or sometimes some of that sugarless Greek yogurt, same as her)
Lunch: 4oz roast chicken
Dinner: Varies
Snacking: Low fat popcorn (rarely)
By dinnertime I've usually had 200-300 calories for the day so I'm pretty flexible.

Every time I eat I have to wash the fucking dishes, fuck that. Half the time I just say the hell with it and go without. Being not-fat is the easiest thing in the world. I'd switch to a diet of protein shakes and fruit/veg juice if it was economically feasible because I am indeed that fucking lazy. Food is a pain in the ass.
Also I only go to the grocery store on foot, so I have to carry all my shit a mile home. Do that and you will never, ever get fat. Cars enable fatass habits like drinking soda and eating a bunch of snacks. A box of tea is less heavy than a flat of soda for 24 beverages. If you don't use a car it is physically impossible to buy enough food to get fat on.
What I ate yesterday: 4 oz steak that was on sale, a palm size portion of cheese cubes (palm, not fingers), a bowl of lazy man's chicken soup (chicken + water + green salsa, homemade) and tea with honey.

By fair chance has anyone on c.c taken Topamax? The one thing I’m worried about is the fact that it potentially makes you dumb. Like really, really dumb - forgetting words, names, and being unable to speak well. I already have some cognitive issues that get in the way of my work.

>The high likelihood of weight gain with these medications has been linked to their actions at serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C, dopamine D2 and D3, histamine H1 and muscarinic M3 receptors.15 The differential effects on weight have been explained by the differing affinity of medications at these receptors.16,17>Antipsychotics affect neuropeptides associated with appetite control and energy metabolism. Leptin and adiponectin are the adipokines produced in white adipose tissue, which have been implicated in AIWG. Increased leptin levels and reduced adiponectin levels have been demonstrated with short-term and long-term olanzapine treatment.18,19 Ghrelin, which acts on the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to enhance food intake and adipose tissue deposition, is also affected by antipsychotics.20 The changes in leptin, adiponectin and ghrelin levels have been postulated to be due to direct effects of the medications rather than being secondary to weight gain.20 On the other hand, effects of antipsychotics on lipid and glucose metabolism have been linked to their effect on weight gain and adiposity, leading to insulin resistance and consequent increased release of triglycerides and very low density lipoproteins from adipocytes.21 There is also evidence that antipsychotics increase expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) genes.21,22Are you gonna start telling girls on corticosteroids to stop having moonfaces too?

>>7092>You don't need pills to eat less.There’s a reason topiramate is prescribed to patients concerned with weight gain. Cravings do get significantly worse due to changes in hormones like leptin and ghrelin and won’t cease for months to years depending on the medication. People do try to control this change in weight by becoming nonadherent to their antipsych meds. The repercussions of discontinuing those medications usually outweigh possible adverse effects associated with topiramate.

Some days I’d be fine but most days I would start shaking or even literally get panic attacks if I didn’t eat between meals.
Are you the Kyle poster? I’m on the same boat as them, trying to get from the high end of a healthy weight to 19-20 BMI. I’ve been stuck fluctuating at around a 23-24 BMI for a few months now since starting Vraylar after losing quite a bit of weight (used to be a fucking fatass for reasons that WAS my fault). My doctor doesn’t believe I should lose weight but agrees that Vraylar could potentially put more weight on me long-term which is why
he was the one who recommended the “diet pills” when I expressed concern about my food sucking side effect.
Idk, maybe it is an easy way out but it’s nice having something that can aid in speeding up the process so I don’t have to wait another four months to reach my goal. I’m down 6 pounds, no dumbness effect yet, feelin’ bretty gud if I do say so myself.

>mum bitches at me if i don't eat
>mum bitches at me for being "fat", my mum is probably well over 100kg
>mum bitches at me if i buy my own food
>mum bitches at me if i don't drink the disgusting sugary soda she buys
i don't even know how many calories i get in a day because my weight drops and goes up so often. lightest i've been in recent years is around 60. i think i'm at my heaviest right now, because i've been unable to do much the past couple of months from medical issues. the only good thing i can say is even at my heaviest now my body weight is fairly evenly distributed so i don't look completely terrible, i can hide it with clothes. but even at ~60 i still felt i looked fat, mostly because i've always relatively fat thighs (looking at childhood photos, they were still big despite me being a very active kid, it's weird)
right now i'm slowly adjusting into eating less. i only started within the last week because one day (i was weighed at a hospital before a scan) i just snapped and realized i had had enough. i have to eat in the mornings because i take medication when i wake up, so i just try and eat less of whatever she bought. i don't technically have to have food with it, but i haven't tried without it yet because i'm waiting to reach the minimum full dosage (epilepsy medication, i had a seizure and then some further complications, but i'm finally back on my feet fully after about 6 weeks). i do wish they'd stop making me drink soda though, i can barely tolerate it where i've been trying to drink less for a few months. i buy flavoured sparkling water if i really want something fizzy. but my mum sees a 6 pack of soda cans on sale and she just impulse buys it despite nobody wanting to drink it. i just wanna move out ASAP, i have neetbux though so i'm just putting a lot of it into savings until it ends (3 year cycle) and looking into a part time job at least, but thats more personal life stuff than health stuff.
this turned into more of a vent, oops. but i actually feel positive about it, i'm really motivated to lose weight now, more than ever before, so i'm hoping it goes well. i had a small breakfast and i'm hungry right now even though it was only 3 hours ago, but i'm hoping to power through it until at least early afternoon. sometimes the hunger goes away, if it doesn't i'll just find something small to eat. maybe some cheese would be good.

>>7116ughhh, sounds terrible. i was worried about losing weight because i'd have to replace my clothes (mainly trousers and skirts though, some i can probably stitch up or use belts, but i have some where i think it'd be easier to buy new ones) and that would mean getting scolded for being costly.
i'm reposting this 'cause it sounded like i was trying to starve myself with my last wording, haha. pretty much just trying to be more conscious of how much i'm really eating, which is why i say eating less because i think i ended up having too big portions, then snacking because i was bored.
yesterday, i ate out with a fairly big lunch, and didn't feel hungry for the rest of the day, just had a bite to eat with my medication out of habit (cheese, funnily enough). i also bought some fruits from a market yesterday- apricots, peaches, raspberries and grapes.
today, i made myself some porridge, which is pretty filling. i like the sound of some yogurt and fruit like some other people in this thread have mentioned, so i'll see if i can find any i like.

anyone here with a sweet tooth they completely got rid of? i overcame my sugar addiction twice but i lost control of it because i'm a dumb bitch who thought she had it under control. i realize now that i'm like an alcoholic who relapses the second they get a taste. i don't drink any soda/juice, only water and unsweetened tea, maybe a cup of coffee without any sugar. my main problem is getting rid of this craving for sweet things. i eat raisins, cranberries and nuts to fight against the need to have chocolate (since that is usually just some craving for fatty things before/during my period) and sugary stuff. but i feel like eating raisins or cranberries is just a substitute and not really stopping it. like i want the need to have something sweet after a meal to stop completely because that's what always makes me relapse.

Another 23 BMI-chan here. Here’s what a 23.7 BMI looks like. So many people have told me I’m not fat and even though I kinda agree on the “fat” part since fat generally refers to overweight/obese I still feel fucking disgusting. I really thought losing 20 pounds recently would make me feel somewhat better about trying on shorts and more form fitted clothes like my mom’s been trying to get me to do for years but now I feel like shit all over again.
I’m sure most women and girls with normal fat distribution look great at this weight, but I have a particularly tall-ish and rectangular body type that I’m pretty sure is meant to be slim like a model’s, not thick. I’m 5 fucking 8 inches tall and look like I’m under 5 feet from a distance for fuck’s sake. I’m probably going to aim to lose 25-30 pounds, does that seem like too much? 5’8” 155.8 lbs as of this morning btw. I just have a tendency to develop disordered eating habits and I may end up being still unhappy with my body at that weight and then continue/end up overdoing it. BDD be a bitch.
Sorry for blogging.

You probably look fine to most people. Try working out to build muscle if you feel you're too flabby. You can't change your bone structure so you just have to learn to cope with it.

>>7123I have a sweet tooth, but I generally satisfy it with things like fruits, yogurt, certain chocolates, and small low-calorie cookies. I really like parfaits and when I have cookies or candy I usually only have one or two of them. I also really like drinking flavored almond milk (sweetened chocolate and vanilla, but strawberry is also an option). Don't completely cut sugar out of your diet. Eating a lot of natural sugars (fruits mostly) can actually satisfy a lot. As for processed sugars, its probably too hard to cut them out completely, but try to limit them to a once or twice a week thing. 5'3" 130 lbs.

>>7123A lot of people can't stand it but Dark chocolate that doesn't have a ton of sugar in it is my go-to. I fucking love it. It's kind of hard to find good dark chocolate that doesn't have a lot of sugar, though. Most is basically 90% sugar but you're looking for one that's mostly cocoa.
Anonymous 7182
>>6210I don't really measure my caloric intake as I cook my food, and the meat and vegetables don't really have those nutrient factoids.
What I found out is that eating rice and white potatoes makes me hungry faster, while eating just fruits, vegetables and meat makes me feel good and is okay throughout the day.
I did that with exercising and found that I am able to lose weight that way, so I'm sticking to what I'm doing.
Anonymous 7188
>>7179>>7181thank you for the advice! i started eating more fruit now (usually ate one banana and an apple during class) and tried to really see it as a treat and something that is "good enough" to replace candy. i also really love 90% dark chocolate, but i haven't bought any lately. i also have stomach problems so i'm trying to keep processed sugars to a minimum since most foods have sugar added without us knowing, like in bread and stuff. i also started to really enjoy yogurt, even though those have lots of sugar as well, but try overeating on yogurt, i guess?
on a happier note, i lost 5 pounds over the past two weeks thanks to mindful eating. basically i eat very small portions and take breaks between swallowing a bite and chewing the next bite (usually 20 seconds long). i also focus completely on the food and don't do any reading, tv show watching, etc while eating. and i stopped obsessing over food/having to eat delicious food. my dinner was two slices of bread with butter and that was cool too. not worrying about what i should cook every day is pretty relaxing.

started a "diet" 6 weeks ago.
Stats: 5'0, 155lbs (starting weight), will weigh myself in 2 weeks. goal is 110-120lbs. im eating 1400kcal/day, which is the tdee for 120lbs (sedentary).
its not so much a diet, more like calorie tracking and having more money to spend on healthier food.
had some mishaps here and there, especially with a emotional eating/binging problem, but hopefully ill have dropped some. another good habit is tracking weekly instead of daily, that way i have time to plan and dont panic when i over-eat.
i have a problem though where i need to make good tasting stuff otherwise ill binge later on. for example if i make mashed broccoli with salt ill find myself eating butter by the spoonfuls during the night, but if i make fried rice with vegs ill maintain myself healthily the rest of the day. does any other anon face this problem?

>>7451Yeah, oddly enough drinking coffee with half and half had no ill effects on the results. I had all my meals first thing in the morning with coffee, then skipped lunch and dinner but had an extra glass or two of iced coffee with a bit of cream in the afternoon.
Just don’t drink like, sugary soda or a full glass of chocolate milk or something. Half and half is only 20cal per tablespoon.

Even scared off several potential new friends of mine when they came to our house because she made a big deal about their small appetite/being too thin. It’s a mess.
> Do you know what caused her anorexia?She’d always had BDD and an obsession with weight loss for as long as I’ve been old enough to comprehend things like this. She was naturally beautiful and never exceeded a normal weight but for some reason saw herself as being fat/ugly and in need of unnecessary cosmetic procedures, too much makeup, and started every new fad diet she could find to lose 10 lbs of water weight and gain it back. Then it shifted to following cult diets like South Beach, Paleo, Whole 30, and now Plant Paradox (which is debunked garbage but she sees it as the word of God). I’ve been watching a slow, roughly 20-year spiral downhill.

163 cm (5'4?) at 67.3kg (148 lbs) here! At the start of this year i was 75 kgs (165 lbs), I had never benn that fat and i probably got there due to a combo of shitty diet+PCOS+not taking the pill anymore, I decided to change my lifestyle since my family has a history of both diabetes and cardiac problems.
My diet and exercise journey was all in all successful because by packing my lunch everyday, being busy with uni and tracking everything on my fitbit app I could easily manage my caloric intake. Thank to all of this I hit my lowest weight (60.5 kgs or 133 lbs) right before i got my bachelor degree this summer. I looked and felt great, I was really full by eating the right amounts of the right foods andI felt very energetic. I gained some weight during the summer holidays because i ate quite a bit more than i used to.
Now that I'm back to my normal life I'm having huge problems with food, it seems that i just can't feel full anymore! I tried everything: drinking water before a meal, eating salad before a meal, eating lots of proteins, eating lots of fat, eating lots of proteins and fats combined, eating big meals and no snacks, eating small meals and more snacks, eating slowly because it takes your brain like 20 minutes to understand that you are full etc.I am literally never full and I'm desperate because I'm taking a gap semester (since I'm going to study abroad next semester) so I'm home all day and with nothing to keep me busy other than trying to stay on track with my language learning and my exercise. I can't help but feel hungry, not just a little appetite, but stomach-furiosly-cramping hungry and I realy don't know what to do about this! I usually solve this by eating a low calorie snack (irl low cal because i weight them by the gram), but this hunger attacks happen really frequently and ten snacks add up at the end of the day even if they are low cal. Does anyone have any tips on this? How can I stop having these hunger attacks?

you could also just think youre hungry or feel the urge to eat coz youre bored, drink some water then in 10 minutes if you still feel the urge drink some more then again and again if its been an hour then have a light snack
if youre just getting back on track then of course you wouldnt feel full anymore, the damage was done during those holidays, when your body learnt to eat more, just keep at it and update us in like a month, ive had shit times where i gained a bunch of weight back and then have to retrain my body to eat less again, you can do it anon

>>7771Yeah, unfortunately it's 70% diet 30% exercise, you can't outrun a bad diet. Why don't you try intermittent fasting if you're prone to binges? And ofc cut all added sugar, sodas, etc. Basically your breakfast could be some oatmeal with peanut butter and lunch/dinner should be a portion of protein and some vegetables, like chicken, spinach/broccoli/zucchini/squash/sweet potato and half an avocado for example (Don't neglect healthy fats because they make you feel full faster!)
Exercise like lifting + cardio will make you look good naked, plus all the benefits, like increased bone density, plus you get to eat more.
You could use myfitnesspal to figure out how many calories you need to eat to lose weight sustainably and then log everything you eat. It's a pain in the ass but it's worth it long term.

I spoke to my dietician and she said my binges are mostly psychological. I have an association of reward with food so I must disassociate from that but it’s so hard. After going through brutal exercise regime, I think poutine or ice cream is perfectly fine and a reward for doing something so difficult and strenuous. That inhibits my progress so much.

>>8037Don't worry too much about what kind of weight you're losing. If you're losing weight, you're losing weight. If you stop losing weight, reconsider your diet. Also, always stay hydrated. People only lose significant amounts of actual water weight through dehydration.

I'm 5'8" and 160lbs atm. Been yo-yoing between 165 and 155 due to shelter-in-place orders for the pandemic, but I'd ultimately like to get down to 135-145ish. Usually I'm pretty good with my diet and fasting, but I've noticed that the week before my period I devour EVERYTHING, ruining my progress. Any tips on how to fix that?

you people are obviously fucking retarded if you think that you will lose weight if you eat 800-1200 calories per day. this is malnourishing and starving your body for no reason. go to the gym and get in a caloric deficit and lose weight like a normal person. stop starving yourself and suffering for no reason at all. you can't lose weight fast and quick in 2 weeks. take your time and eat all kinds of food and stop restricting as it only does harm. you will develop an eating disorder.

>>9769sorry for the blogpost in advance.
honestly this anon is right. i feel like diets are really beneficial if a person needs to achieve a certain weight goal and i wont judge any of the anons pursuing them. but please don't try to live on 800-1200 cal a day. i'm fat (28 BMI), and struggled a lot with binging from all the diets i tried but have been eating 1500-1600 calories a day and losing weight. i kept trying to make myself live on 1200 cal a day, while also having done OMAD, and IF and i eventually binged on everything and ruined my progress and gained the weight i gained during quarantine back and some more.
i know so many people have heard this, but 1200 calories is what a toddler needs to eat to stay alive. i think the only way you can eat 1200 cal is if you're extremely short. but it really is better to consume a higher amount of calories, calculated with your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) here:
https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/ that wont make you feel like you're starving.
i'm pretty much counting everything i eat until i learn to eat healthier since i was raised on a diet of fried and rich southern foods. slow weight loss also helps the skin's elasticity, and it isn't good to lose a huge amount of weight in a short amount of time as it can cause loose skin. i think it's better to eat healthy, balanced, home cooked meals because american fast food (this can also apply to non-american anons) and restaurants in general can be high in calories, but you can definitely work your way around it and get lower calorie foods and portion it out to where it can fit into the amount of calories you're eating. but don't deprive yourself because that could cause you to binge. also it's good to get some walking in and do some exercises around 1-2 times a week. don't over exercise either because i learned that the hard way.
i honestly feel so much better knowing i'm trying to achieve a healthier lifestyle and can actually eat meals that can keep me satiated instead and beating myself up every time i eat something, it does wonders for your mental state.

I want to lose 20 lbs so I go from a BMI of 23.9 to 20.4. Is this a reasonable goal? I was once my goal weight, but I was in high school. Back then my body wasn't done growing, so I'm not sure if that's a bad goal. I don't want unrealistic goals or to focus on anything particularly unhealthy. Does it sound reasonable? I'm trying to get there through diet and exercise. Like, getting under 1200 calories a day and exercising daily
Anonymous 9957
>>9886I get where you're coming from anon, and also think that girls should focus on losing weight healthily instead of becoming ana-chans but you make it sound a lot rarer to have a low TDEE than it is. I'm less than an inch shorter than the average height where I'm from and according to the calculator you linked if I want to lose 2 lbs a month I have to eat under 1200 cals a day.
>>9912Over what time frame? It can be hard to get adequate nutrition in terms of vitamins and shit below 1200 calories. I suggest starting at a more moderate goal and if you feel like you have plenty of energy and don't have to obsess over what you eat to get under your goal, you can lower it.
Anonymous 9958
>>9912I hope you like white fish because you're going to need to eat a lot of it to get adequate protein on 1200 calories a day. And lots of veggies. I don't suggest doing 1200 kcal for long periods of time unless you're very small. Be kind to yourself.

>>9886>i know so many people have heard this, but 1200 calories is what a toddler needs to eat to stay alive.Christ, I wish people would stop bringing this up as if it's a convincing reason not to starve yourself. A toddler is tiny but they are growing a whole ass body, their caloric needs are completely irrelevant to an adult's and the comparison is pointless. 1200 is an arbitrary number and whether or not it works depends on the individual.

I've been dieting for 1.5 months and lost 10lbs as of today!
I just saw that an Anon upthread was trying to do 1200cal and coincidentally that is my daily goal too. Some days it's really hard, but I've adjusted to the worst cravings. Something I eat a lot is smoked fish on rice cakes. Also lots of meat and vegetables that I make casseroles with. Keeping carbs as low as possible. I replaced most of my sugar with stevia.

>>9886Seconding this blogpost with my own. I lost 50 pounds as a short (like 5') mega fatty (morbidly obese going by BMI) by restricting myself to 800-1200 calories a day. Drank water when I felt hungry to suppress the urge to eat. It felt great and I lost all that weight in like 6 months. But it doesn't work in the long term. At some point the weight lost plateaued and I fell into depression and started eating the same way I used to. I fucked up my metabolism majorly and gained even more weight than I had lost back when I couldn't take it anymore.
TL;DR
Don't be a retard and starve yourself.

I need a help for diet planning.
I have phenylketonuria, so I am kinda forced to eat a lot of carbs, because I have no alternatives. I can't munch on proteins, because they contain phenylalanine, so my intake of them is very limited. I compensate by taking amino acid, mineral and vitamin supplement mixture, which doesn't not contain phe, so I recieve a daily norm of protein equivalent. Is there a way to manage carb intake without sacrificing energy intake? Also I would like to know is there a way to somehow stimulate muscle growth without protein?

i’ve been doing a lot of fasting recently while trying to lose weight. i’ve lost about 10 lbs in two months. in the last week, i’ve done 3 48-hour fasts, so i’ve gone three full days without eating. when i break my fasts i have a pretty big meal (just somewhat bigger than i used to eat before fasting, usually more protein) followed by a dessert. i cook for myself so the meals are fairly healthy. not too many carbs usually, lots of protein and vegetables. my desserts are typically vanilla greek yogurt with strawberries and a bit of chocolate, so also on the healthier side.
in this last week, my weight for some reason has gone up 1 lb. i don’t track my calories and would much rather not. since 3/7 days i’ve had an intake of 0 (my tdee is around 1600), there’s just no way i’ve gone above my maintenance calories, let alone not lost at least a bit of weight.
i know a week is a short time but i’m disappointed so i was wondering if this happens to anyone else, and how long i can expect it to last.

>Genuinely how the fuck do you stop overeating I've been overweight since early childhood I have no self-control.i recently heard a theory that people in your situation have a problem that i don't believe is ever discussed:
the theory basically said that dishonest people lie so much that they lose contact with reality. the best liars are those that lie so good that they themselves believe the lie. that's how they beat the polygraph or whatever methods of lie detection they have nowadays. they convince themselves and believe the lie themselves. this fucks up their brain.
when you ask those people what they ate, they will lie. they will say they just had a salad all day… but stuffed underneath their car seat are hundreds and hundreds of candybar wrappers that they don't count and some don't even remember. apparently this theory was sparked by some recent study that concluded that fat people just don't report what they really eat.
some lie and know about it, others are so identified with illusion, the consumption of the candy bar happens completely outside their conscious presence. so some actively lie and others lie but don't know that they are lying because they are so advanced in selective perception that their mind does not let them see everything they are doing. very much reminded me of a multiple personality thing. i laugh at the ridiculous psychological effort required to puppeteer the human body by several personalities that sometimes don't know about each other. like 2 or more different crazy moods taking turn controlling this one mindless robot. reminds me about this anecdote that some people with multiple personality have one personality that needs glasses and others that don't need glasses because the identification with one personality changed the inter-occular pressure, bending the retina into needing glasses.
a fat friend of mine in school once said to me: "every time i eat something tasty, i just eat it and then wake up and i don't know how or if i ate it" thinking about this in light of this theory makes a lot of sense. this whole theory i tried to briefly summarize to me makes a whole lot of sense.
if that was true and this was your issue, the solution would be to find alternatives to deal with your life then being a liar. i have not encountered stories about people quitting this toxic habit of lying. i do believe it is possible though few are even 'all there' enough to understand the negative consequences of this habit. the fact that there are so many liars does make the life harder for everyone but the life of a liar does not seem hard to me. it is like cherry picking egotistical behavior and burdening the collective with it. lying is a form of reverse taxation. it takes from the collective and gives to the egotistical individual but it does have a high price in it's side effects: loss of reality. i believe it is a foolish trade because reality is more valuable then any shortsighted advantage lying could possibly provide.

Ugh. I need to loose 40lbs.
I'm tired of feeling so clunky and chunky
I absolutely hate how cardio doesn't lose weight and I have to weight train. I can easily run from 30 minutes straight but I can get into the zone while I lift weights. I also hate seeing men in the gym, I know they're ignoring me but I can't help this feeling to get defensive when they take the equipment next to me.
I also need to fix my diet again, I've been eating fast food. I need to go back to eating homecook meals and salads for lunch. I also need to go back to counting calories.

5'9", 140. idk what my goal weight is because I am severely skinny fat. my bodyfat is 32% which is obese. I know I have a small frame because my wrists and ankles are very small. my wrist is under 5 inches which for my height is a small frame, so I think I need to lose more. before someone calls me ana, my waist size is 33". I have an obese looking body on a small frame. I have never been even close to a flat stomach. I wear larger clothes than anyone I know for my BMI. BMI is such shit bc I should look healthy but i do not at all. I am scared to try to get down to something underweight bc I fear of the health risks but I am unfortunately built different to carry my fat in the worst ways.

I try to stick to 16-8 intermittent fasting. If you do that youll also start to eat healthier because if you just eat candy and carbs youll burn though your energy and get super hungry during the fast, but if you eat naturally filling food like protein or vegetables that take longer to digest you will be less hungry.

Gut bacteria can influence hormones and the brain so yeah if you lack self control with eating it's likely the one in control is the bacteria in your body rather than your own cells and 'higher self'.
Orrr youre just an impulse eater and don't have aspirations to self improve on a deep level.

>>20866>basically being mind controlledyeah and seduced by overavailability of unhealthy food.
i vaguely remember seeing a meme where there were two screenshots of legacy media newscasters 🤮 side by side, lets say the pictures were a year apart. the text underneath read "when a taco bell opens up across the street from where you work" and on the second picture the two casters were noticably fatter. a fitting punishment for spending their life's energy on lying to the people.
some people are such agentless passengers of their own life, so puppeteered by what happens around them, so effortlessly seduced by everything: all it takes for their bodies to be ruined is for conveniencefood suddenly being available close to them. they are so mindless, they don't care that they are getting sick and that the quality of their life will decrease massively because consequences don't apply to them. i noticed this in quite a few disgraceful occupations that are a negative on society. the people start to believe that cause and effect no longer apply to them. they get away with being evil and pretending to the people that something is true that isn't and forcing perspectives on the people that train them to act against their own self-interest, well why wouldn't they get away with eating food designed to make people sick, in consequence they preach self-harm all day long so it was bound to make the round back to them. irresponsibility, not even once.
