oh wow! how long did it take?

 

oh wow! how long did it take?

Like a couple of months I think. I was losing and gaining and losing a lot.

 

yea i lost about 1.5 kg from eating less than 500 calories per day this week

ive been doing this for about 1.5 months and i went from 49kg to 40.5 now

 

Slowly, and my weight yo-yoed a lot. I've lost more consistently on high restriction and no binging, but it's been hard.

so would u binge too?

 

i high restrict and never really binge because this is what helps me lose consistently now

i used to binge and restrict cycle before and it didnt do anything for me

 

Depends on the binge. You can't binge on crappy, sugary processed crap and lose weight, despite restricting.
I used to restrict for 6 days of the week, then on Saurdays I'd binge on lots of fruits, corn chips and guacamole. Wasn't a huge binge but more than I normally ate. It helped keep me in line for my 6 restricting days. I lost a lot of weight this way.

yeah same, i used to high restrict and was able to loose consistently. but then i binged once 3 weeks ago and i can' stop binging and restricting, i hate it.

 

I had good success when I heavily restricted 6 days and binged only one day for dinner. I would usually fast that day until the dinner binge unless I was feeling extra crazy.

 

This is how I am -- I'm not really consistent, I'm constantly flip flopping back and forth between restriction and binging. When my binge days are really frequent or more than just once or twice a week, my weight will yo yo a lot (or worse, I'll gain).

However, a few weeks ago I got into the habit of really low restriction and an OCCASIONAL binge day and weight started melting off me. As long as the binge days are just that - occasional - you can still lose weight.

 

so would u binge too?

not really but sometimes (like once a week i guess?) i allow my intake to 800 calories that day

 

yes, I'm doing that right now. but it's totally miserable. I miss high restricting.

 

That's how I got to my low weight.
Look at calories on a weekly scale. If you average to under your TDEE, you'll likely lose weight in the long run.

My binges were usually around 2,000-4,000 calories, I think. Maybe one or two times a week, not every week. I don't know how much I was restricting. But it compensated for the binges.

 

Yeah but the weight always creeps back because once I start binging I can't stop so easily.

 

Yes, but I gain it all back. as of now, I'm feeling like trash, even though I was high restricting, I got the urge to binge, so I've binging this WHOLE week, and I look like a whale.

 

yeah, weight loss was slow but consistent for a few months. i exercised a lot tho, sometimes three times per day.

Ah same!

 

errrr...no. but my binges used to be like 4000+ calories. I don't binge anymore because I never eat less than 800 calories a day. I guess it depends what you consider a binge. my binges are like marathon binges. I could've seriously won an eating contest.

 

Ah same!

*hugs*

 

Yes. It's slow but yes

 

i've been going back and forth between the two for a very long time and i feel like i'm always trying to lose the same fucking 15 pounds. my weight yo-yos like a mf.

 

Yeah, I used to restrict to 300-400 most days but end up bingeing 1-2 times/week. That being said, the binges were usually 1200-2000 cals because my stomach was so shrunk. Still felt like shit about em though. But I did lose weight, it was just at a slower rate than I felt it could be.

 

yeah I started restricting ( 700-1200) in January and I'm doing this for about a month now.

6 days restriction, one day binge (I tried to limit it, but always ended up at about 2500 of junk food) and I execise a lot...

I lost sustainably without plateau, from January to now about 9kg
