    More likely you'll lose lean mass for sure. At 19 that's going to be a pretty massive deficit and the energy has to come from somewhere.

    Also, how do you get protein without fat or carbs?

    Why would you think this is ever a good idea?

    coz that's the only diet that gets me back on track and shuts down my appetite and it helps in flushing the extra water i'm holding on too

    I feel like you don't have a good relationship with food.

    I think it's easy to get a little panicky if you've gone off the rails. However, going from binging to starving is not the answer. You'll just set yourself up for another binging cycle.

    ^and this. Don't panic. Go back to normal, with a small deficit, and carry on. Compensatory behaviour for binge eating is a key feature of certain eating disorders.

    Just go back to NORMAL eating.
    Not some crash diet.
    Because that isn't a healthy relationship with food or helping yourself in the long run

    I'm planning on doing a max 10-day PSMF after the New Year to lose some pounds gained over the holiday. You don't do a heavy workout on it.

    If you think you have a predisposition to an ED, obviously, don't do it. But a two-week diet does not in and of itself cause one. For some people, streamlining their eating for a limited period is helpful.

    Dude, you are 19...when I was 19, 5000 calories wasn't a binge...it was a Tuesday. There is no reason to do what you are suggesting....no reason whatsoever.
