Summary

A person shares their weight loss journey from BMI 19.8 to 15.1 over 5 months using a higher calorie intake (1000-1600 calories daily) combined with calorie tracking, while breaking binge-restrict cycles through hobbies and social engagement. They emphasize that this slower but more sustainable approach worked better than extreme restriction methods they had previously attempted.

    ʚɞ BACKSTORY i was previously an underweight bmi but fell into a binge cycle for almost 2 years and gained all the way to bmi 19s, i would try literally everything. OMAD, fasting for days, junkorexia, eating super clean, intermittent fasting, but nothing would ever work for me

    ʚɞ BACKSTORY i absolutely hated my body and never went outside, i never wore any clothes i liked, i would binge very badly and never knew how to control it which is when i decided to do high calorie intake to lose weight because i was tired and thought that would stop my binging

    ʚɞ CALORIE INTAKE i firstly calculated my TDEE with this website tdeecalculator.net , and ate 250-500 below the number it gave me. to be honest as long as im in a deficit of 250-500, im happy with it and log it into my calorie app everyday!

    ʚɞ EXERCISE i dont exercise, my hobbies are all sitting down so i dont move much. on days where i exercise more, i eat more. examples: 1000 calories - <5,000 steps 1200 calories - <10,000 steps 1300-1600 - I eat in this range if I moved a lot (usually when i go out somewhere)

    ʚɞ TIPS - i quit watching mukbangs, i learnt that that doesnt do anything for me and instead i will watch non food related videos - i stopped drinking zero calorie drinks, (i do have gum though), i learnt that didn't help curb my cravings and only made me more bloated

    ʚɞ TIPS - i have so so many hobbies, i advise you to find new hobbies and do them all day so that your mind isn't on food - im a huge homebody, but now whenever someone asks to go out with me i always say yes so i have something to do and im not thinking about food

    ʚɞ TIPS - i eat 3 meals a day, breakfast lunch and dinner, it keeps my energy levels stable throughout the day and doesnt cause random huge spikes in hunger - its a lot easier for me to calm cravings and hunger when i end the day with something sweet, so i love to have icecream

    ʚɞ MOTIVATION - if you're new to high cal intake, i understand its not faster than low intake but i would ALWAYS remind myself that its either i do high intake, or i'm going straight back into my binge restrict cycle. if you ever feel guilty always remind yourself of this!!

    ʚɞ MOTIVATION - it is a very well known thing that most low bmi people do high intake, i would look at loads of posts on EDSF or X of low bmi ppl talking about them getting to their lw through a high cal intake and it would motivate me knowing im taking a more sustainable route!

  12. #12

    ʚɞ MOTIVATION i would this website losertown.org/eats/cal.php to calculate when i would get to my dream weight which would be super motivating. i find this website to be veryyy accurate !!

    that's it!! if i didn't cover anything feel free to ask me or send a dm i don't mind answering any questions !! <3
