reblog to break that plateau and lose some weight! i believe in you!

*if you are looking to loose weight in a healthy way go away I have an ed*

Whenever I count calories I obsess and stress over it and end up eating more

You may or may have seen some of the tips bellow, but I know I loose more weight when I do the following:

- Always go to sleep hungry. It doesn’t matter how hungry

- Make thick veggie soup (with lentils and a grain) and TONS of vegetables and spices. Very filling, lots of nutrients, and low cal

- No oil (or butter if not vegan)

- Always have protein+carb or protein+fat. Try to never have carb+fat (ex. French fries, cake/cookies, starchy vegetable with lots of oil)

- Chug water halfway through a meal, and then wait 20s to see how you feel, eat until just satiated

- 16 hour intermittent fasting

- Try to go as long as possible between meals

- Try to get more than the recommend protein amount(+50g). My ed doctor told me to get 90g daily. This prolongs some of the bodily breakdown that occurs w an ed and keeps you satiated longer.

- Raw rev protein bars (peanut butter sea salt) are a godsend

- Cut times out of your day when you absolutely do not allow yourself to eat (6p-7a for me, longer if possible)

- Allow small amounts of junk food every once in a while (NECESSARY for me). Be mindful when eating it, try to enjoy it

- Try and stop yourself from thinking about ED things (including tumblr and weighing yourself). This keeps me distracted from food and hunger and keeps me happier

- WEIGHT LIFTING. You WILL NOT get bulky, especially if you are a girl. You need to be eating at least maintenance calories and above over months to see muscle gain (even then it is not significant). Lifting in a calorie deficit (with enough protein) will help to preserve muscle and metabolism. Lift heavy. “Toning” is something that happens when you lift heavy, not light. I’m going to make a post on this

- I’ve cut out cardio entirely (not including walking). I only weight lift. Cardio promotes muscle breakdown in a large calorie deficit and makes me ravenously hungry. My net cals for the day are lower when I skip cardio, and I feel better mentally

- Sleep god damnit. If you have insomnia bc of under eating, try to eat more so your sleep improves. 200 additional calories is WELL worth better, consistent sleep. < Dont have caffeine before 4pm

- Walk at least 20 additional minutes a day and do not count this as exercise

I got down to my lowest weight yet doing these things
