Wtf am I doing

Sometimes I forget that it’s not normal to obsess over every single calorie.

Sometimes I forget it’s not normal to literally fear gaining weight.

Sometimes I forget it’s not normal to be proud of yourself for not eating.

And if YOU get this message in the future DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE CLINK ON THE LINK I FUCKING SWEAR TO GOD I WILL CUT YOUR HANDS OFF

A warning to all of my followers there no such a thing as @exposingthoselosers I just thought any form of information is good and can protect my followers from getting their phone or any other devices hacked if you’re connect to the wifi they might hack all of the devices connected.

DO NOT FUCKING CLICK ON ANU LINK YOU GET NOT EVEN FROM UR FRIENDS ON TUMBLR BECAUSE THEY COULD GET HACKED 👀

personally i know even if im just fasting healthy it’s hard for my family to be on board soooo ive learned some tricks throughout the time I’ve been doing this soooooooo here you go !

1. cut up your food into small pieces and move it around the plate to make it seem like you’re eating if you’re having a family dinner or you’re at a restaurant

2. you can also keep a napkin on your lap and put your food in it or spit it out on the napkin while no ones looking.

3. I’ve heard of some people putting LARGE amounts of food in their mouth and going “OHHH ☝🏻” getting out of site and going to the bathroom or something spitting the food out and coming up with a reason why they left.

4. talk A LOT usually people don’t pay much attention to what you eat when you keep them distracted and busy

5. say your drink made you full! this actually works but you have to at least have a little off your plate whether you eat it or just have it in your napkin

You will lose weight if you eat at a caloric deficit. Period.

Basic laws of thermodynamics and the universe say in a closed system,

Energy in = energy out

Your body spends energy by existing -- breathing, walking, talking, getting up to go to the bathroom, chewing on your food, pumping blood to your organs. Every single action requires energy (calories)!

There's something called TDEE, or total daily energy expenditure. It's a calculation of how much energy it requires for you to function and stay at the same weight. Obviously, it matters what heigh and weight you are -- the taller and heavier you are, the more calories you require to simply exist. You can find TDEE calculators all over the internet simply by googling.

So for example:

5'4" female @140lb: 1668 calories

5'0" female @110lb: 1429 calories

What does this mean?

In order for you to lose weight, you just need to eat less than your TDEE.

This is basic physics. The laws of the universe do not change. If you eat less than TDEE, you will lose weight, no buts or ifs. If you "binge" eat 1600 calories, but your TDEE is 1660, you will not gain weight (permanently). It's just not possible (see my notes on water weight below if you have doubts).

1lb of fat is approximately 3500 calories of deficit. In other words, that's a 500 cal deficit per day, for one week, to lose one pound.

So if your TDEE is 1600, if you eat 1100 calories everyday, you lose one pound in a week.

"But I ate at 1000cal/day and I gained .5lb this morning!!!!"

Weight is so dependent on your sodium intake, hormonal levels, what food you've eaten that day that one single scale reading means NOTHING.

Here's a picture of the scale readings over the past two months for me.

See how it fluctuates like crazy? What's important is the general trend-- although one day I may "gain" 2lbs, one week later I'll be 3lbs below that "heavy" weight. I actually recommend stepping on the scale every day, at the same time. It helps move away from "omg I gained 3lbs!!!!" and let's you accurately identify if you are actually losing weight.

So for all you people who are stressed out about eating too much, just do some basic math. Chances are, you can eat a reasonable amount and LOSE WEIGHT. For me, if I try to eat 500cal a day, I do it for one day, then binge eat the next day and ruin my progress. One pound per week may seem slow, but consider how long you e hated your weight, compared to how quickly it'll drop off.

I've hated my weight for almost 8 years now, and in just two months I've dropped 1/3 of the weight I wanted to, while eating at 1200calories a day. In that context, 6 more months of this? Easy!

1200 calories: That's a lot of food! You can eat properly with that! For example one day:

Breakfast

Coffee with condensed milk (60)

Oatmeal (150)

2boiled eggs (140)

Lunch

1cup chicken teriyaki (150)

Broccoli (50)

4 lychees (100)

Dinner

One whole avocado (220)

2 slices of bread (180)

1/2 carton halo top (140)

In conclusion: you can eat a reasonable amount of food and still lose weight (faster than restricting, bc there's wayyy less binges). Your caloric intake will depend on your height and weight-- a 5'0 woman and a 5'6" woman should not be eating the same amount.

Many of you have been asking me about my tips and tricks for fasting and today i am here to delever as I have finally broken free from my binge cycle (and gained about 5 pounds back 😔)

_———— pre fast————_

Plan the fast a few days before if you are doing a prolonged fast (16h+). I don’t recommend just going into a fast as most of the time when I do that I end up breaking early with a binge or having someone come around and make me eat.

Leading up to the fast, avoid processed and unhealthy foods. I’m unsure why this helps but it does.

Exercise! It can be difficult to exercise during a fast due to the lack of food. Exercising pre-fast can help you feel better and help you burn extra calories.

_———— during the fast————_

Stay hydrated 🤪. It is actually so important to stay hydrated with tons of water. You body begins to “eat it’s own fat” after 12h of fasting. I recommend draining a lot of water because it helps flush out all the bad things that you have been putting into ur body and the weight just slides right off your body.

Drink herbal teas. The warm/ hot water and tea flavours help with craving and temporarily settles the discomfort from fasting.

Drink ice cold water or fresh ice teas. The ice water or ice teas can have the same effect as the above point.

Black coffee. Helps boost energy levels. Trust me, while fasting I practically live on black coffee, iced or hot.

Light exercise. Doing heavy exercise can potentially lead to you passing out (it has happened to me before so don’t do it)

When feeling like you are about to binge, do your favourite hobby. Sports, art, reading, writing even cleaning. Anything that distracts you from breaking early.

_———— post fast————_

Break fast lightly. Fruits and veggies are the best way to get your body going again.
