Any type of water flavoring

Vitamin water is very helpful for before workouts.

0 cal broths

Gum. Chewing gum burns more cals than are in a single piece.

Make a 0 cal slushee with water flavoring and crushed ice!! Literally the best thing ever. 😋

Take melatonin if u have really bad cravings. Be careful with this you can really mess up your sleep schedule.

Wear a lip mask to bed if you get bad cravings at night.

Watch gr0s$p0. Moldy food, bugs, fat people eating etc.

Look up all the gross ingredients in food. Literally so many cancer causing ingredients.

Plan a reward for every day you complete a fast. I have a nice bath planned tonight.

Putting salt in your water can help with electrolytes/dizziness. Be careful tho because too much salt is very bad for you.

I’ve been ana since I was 12 ( now 18 ) and I’ve recently gone from 72kg to 54kg so here is my best advice:

Don’t cut anything out of ur diet ! Trust me it doesn’t help at all, the times in these last 6 years when I’ve been most successful is when I wasn’t cutting anything out of my diet

Drink at least 2L of water a day ! It’s magic how drinking water can help you lose weight and be way less bloated

Get enough sleep ! I cannot stress this enough. If you want to lose weight and you’re not sleeping you might aswell not bother ! Most weight loss occurs during sleep when the body is resting !

It sounds simple, but adding veg and fruit to your meals can help you stay fuller ( especially if you’re just getting back on track and you’re trying to restrict again, or if you’ve found yourself binging )

Eating breakfast statistically means you’ll make better food choices throughout the day, I used to think it was bs but through trial and error I’ve realised that if I eat breakfast I’ll be way less likely to binge or make a silly food choice because you’re not as ravenous so you can think more reasonably

Personally I find that meal planning can help ( even if I only plan what dinners I’ll be eating ) to not over eat and stick within my calorie deficit

I highly recommend eating different calorie amounts on different days, whether you do a diet which tells you how many calories to eat on different days or maybe you save some of your calories ( think weekly calories = daily calories x7 ) so you can have planned ‘binge’ days/metabolism days where you eat a bit more than you normally would so your metabolism doesn’t get used to very low caloric intake and therefore makes you hit a weight loss plateau which can be very hard to get out of
