    Been in a decent restriction phase lately and had a few meals I was very satisfied with both flavor, presentation and calorie wise so i figured I’d share :) I’m in Germany so some products might not be available or might have different calorie counts. I’m also restricting to 900-1300 on average...

  3. Anorexia Discussions
    I have been eating what I thought was about 1300 calories a day for the past two months but I have only lost 5lbs so far, what am I doing wrong? I exercise about 30 to 45 minutes daily (mostly walking, cycling, dancing), I am planning to increase my exercise though but will try to do so slowly...
  4. Anorexia Discussions
    I know I know this has been asked timeeee and time again but anyone have any high restriction success stories? I guess success story isn't the best wording but... you know what I mean. Positive stories why high res > low res I'll start: I lost 25 pounds in 3ish months on high restriction...

    Starting Saxenda next week. I just wanted somewhere to log my loss. I won't be commenting on my actual weight, only what I have (or haven't as the case may be) lost. I will also comment on dosage and sides.

    im trying high restriction in the hopes of quitting binge/purging, it has worked so far but im also soso so much hungrier than before. im eating healthily and aim to get lots of proteins in because it makes me feel more energized but im also struggling with this newfound kind of hunger and now...
  7. Illness or Injury
    I have been experiencing dizziness the last couple of days, but my calorie intake is around 800-1000, as I know that I need to be functional enough to care for my kids. Even when I was low restricting I never got dizziness like this; I was trying to sleep last night and the world was just...

  9. Starting at a higher BMI
    Anyone else with a super high BMI and doing low restriction? I’ve been doing 400-600 calories a day and I’ve lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks but I feel like it’s not enough and not fast enough. I mostly eat 600 cals a day because I get so hangry. How do you stop the hanger? Lol. I eat really healthy...
  10. Anorexia Discussions
    But it’s much better to remind yourself about why you chose this in the first place. So instead let’s have a nice thread about the joys of high restriction. I’ll go first: Joy nr.1: i am too old to barf my eyeballs out twice a week because I accidentally couldn’t stop eating. High res kept me...
  11. Anorexia Discussions
    idk who needs to hear this, but it really does help to have a “cheat” day every now and then. i wasn’t able to count all of my calories yesterday, and my usual amount averages ~700-900. 1000 is a treat for me, currently. i’m planning to do higher res once i reach my ugw. not right now though...
