Eating good, feeling bad

ONLY 10 LB LOSS IN 2 WEEKS?! That is a dangerously high rate of weight loss. Unless you weigh 500 lbs, you need to slow down your weight loss and eat more! You've eaten less than 1500 calories COMBINED in the last 3 days, and only 47g of fat combined, that is insane. You are going to mess up your hormones.

i eat very little (see my diary), drink lots of water, take a vitamin everyday but I'm still huge! Only 10 lb loss in 2 weeks should I try more exercises? If so which are good for fat burning?

You need to eat more!! As per other thread you started.

I have to assume your trolling.

But 5 pounds is likely too fast to lose weigh.

Can't view your diary but guessing your under 1000 calories which is too low.

Eat more, log accurately and most importantly get more realistic and healthy weight loss goals. 1-2 pounds a week not 5.

I wish I could tell you that there is a magic way to lose massive weight but the truth is that losing that much weight for more than the first two weeks in unhealthy for 90% of people. Your first two weeks you will lose a lot because there is less food in your system and your body will hold less water to process that food. After the first two weeks, weight loss is 2 lbs or less is healthy.

I didn't even realize those stats! I tried to do 1200 calories a day but it felt like way too much to me. It's low but I just eat when I'm hungry, which isn't often. I just never want food...

Then how did you become overweight in the first place?

I just looked, she is eating almost nothing. Less than 500 calories most days. If this is accurate, you need help. And I don't mean with losing weight. Eating like that will crash your whole body. You may lose a lot of weight quickly but it will be at the cost of your organs and muscle tissue.

I don't say this to be mean. I say it to be honest. Talk to a professional if that is truly all you are eating.

I just lost that much naturally
I eat when I'm hungry, some days it's 950 calories, some days 75. I don't see why not force feeding myself and doing what my body's telling me to do is a problem.

Sorry for accusing you of trolling, if your being serious.

I don't know if this is correct advice to be giving.

Imagine your a car but your fuel gauge is broken and stuck at half full.

Would you just assume your tank is half full? Or would you fill it up every now and then regardless of the fuel gauge?

You need to eat a certain amount of calories a day just to fuel you bodily functions, like breathing and pumping blood.

You also need calories to fuel walking running and exercise.

You need these regardless of feeling hungry.

If your eating 750 calories in my opinion you need to force your self to eat more, your fuel gauge is broken.

Correct me if I'm wrong here mfp people.

I guess to answer your original question.

Your eating clean, but eating far far far too little and is likely why you feel bad.
