Re: Advice thread?

[(Anonymous)]

For approximately a month, I've eaten 400 calories a day. I take a mixture of caffeine and ephedrine to suppress my appetite. I work out and cover the calorie counter thingy to make sure I don't get tempted to eat the calories because I've seen the amount.

When I put it together, it all sounds insane. But you can't argue with the results, and I'm still overweight.

DA

That sounds pretty unhealthy. Weight is only part of health, and if you are only eating 400 calories your body is probably not getting all the nutrients it needs. Maybe you haven't crossed the line into anorexia, but this sounds like something you should talk with someone about.

it sounds like disordered eating to me, I don't know enough about specific diagnoses whether it would definitely be categorized as anorexia, but definitely disordered.

(Also I hate to be this person cause I doubt it makes you feel better but extreme calorie cutting often isn't the best way to lose weight, because it can mess with your metabolism.)

You can argue with results, actually. Especially if those results are achieved in a way that's ultimately damaging to your health in the long run. Otherwise you could say that locking an obese in a prison cell and only giving them water and bread is a great plan because it works, eventually.

Your diet sounds far too severe, and by strictly limiting your caloric intake, you might actually be hurting your body's ability to regulate your metabolism, which will make it HARDER for you to lose weight. Are you on this diet with the advice of your doctor or nutritionist? I suspect not. I suspect that deep down, you know this isn't healthy but you're too in love with the weight loss to stop yourself. So yes, that's an eating disorder.

I can and will argue with those results: they're damaging and unsustainable. The second you attempt to go back to eating above your bmr you will gain the weight back, so the only thing you have done in the meantime is deprive yourself of essential nutrients.

That behaviour does qualify as disordered eating. It isn't a course of action you should pursue if you would like to remain alive and healthy.

Problem is, you can argue with the results because they're not sustainable long-term. That's why people who focus on restriction rather than moderation tend to put the weight back on, and usually then some.

Look up what has happened to contestants on "The Biggest Loser". Google gives a bunch of good links, but here's just one article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weight-loss.html?_r=0

Basically, your body doesn't know when it will ever get food again, so it goes into starvation mode. Thus once you start eating a normal amount of calories, it will pack as many away as possible for another "famine".

Trust me, I know. Been there, done that, have finally made sustainable lifetime changes that are resulting in slow but steady weight loss with the help of my doctor, therapist, and a nutritionist.
