back to the grind

if you were eating far less than that regularly before you switched, your metabolism was definitely slowed and/or damaged. but this only impacts weight gain slightly, because your body adjusts to metabolize whatever your regular consumption is, because it wants to maintain homeostasis. so it’ll adjust up to 1000 a day if you do it long enough. also, it takes 3500 calories to gain 1lb of fat, and since eating at 1000 a day is less than what your body genuinely needs to function (your healthy bmr) you still aren’t consuming extra calories. give your body some time to adjust and you’ll see the weight go back down.

@ribcagings no worries hun!! i’m glad to hear youre feeling a little better about it!
