METABOLIC DAMAGE & CALORIE COUNTING

I agree with you. I am glad someone else has said this. I feel like after losing about a stone last year, I am now heavier than I have ever been and struggling daily to get down to what used to be my easy comfortable weight. Everyones different, you may say it's not possible, but i'm pretty sure I messed something up!!

I am in a similar position to you, a few years ago i lost 20kgs from 70 - 50 by not really eating after a break up, maintained 50kgs for a year or two hardly eating at all - really less than 500 cals a day. Started eating around 100 cals and in 6 months gained back 15kgs. Now i eat between 800 - 1200 cals a day and it took me the last 6 months to lose 2kgs, less than a pound a month on about 100 cals a day. Had my RMR tested and it said I burn 1360 cals a day at REST so somethings not quite right with my body. At a loss, dont know what to do fed up of starving but still being big-ish at 5 foot 5.

Eating clean is boring.

Totally agree. I did it. No need for it, the odd treat makes life fun.

This is how I feel. I like to think of my diet as 70% clean with 30% wiggle room for the stuff I enjoy in life that I wont give up.
