    Spotted: weight TREND not daily weight ups and downs.

    Theory of reverse diet is add Cal's a chunk at a time (example +200, +200, then +100) for 1 week intervals per increase till continuous week over week trends indicate steady gain at which point you reduce cals to balance at max intake without gain

    This then allows you to lose from a higher start.

    Once the brain chemicals and pathways have well oiled grooves possibility of Ed recurrence is higher and any deficit can trigger it. With larger deficits being even more likely trigger :(

    Yeah it’s definitely a tricky one. The reason why I’m counting calories is because I actually UNDEREAT when I try to do it intuitively and then I risk losing muscle so I’m sticking to a 0.5 lbs a week loss.

    I am at 215lbs, I did begin at 219. I have only teetering between 212 and 216. I have followed the 1200 calorie set up for me, treadmill 1 hr 3-4 days a week which gives me a 1000 calorie deficit + my other normal daily activities throughout the day to achieve the 10000 + steps per day on my fitbit. And adhear to the carb, fat, and protein sca
    So, why am I not getting past this?
    Last but not least, I am nutritional knowledgeable and love creating in the kitchen.

    @Challab7, I'd like to help if I can, but this is a thread about the risks of eating to little, so that would be kind of off-topic here.

    Instead, I've commented on your own intro post here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10930461/hello-im-back
