  • To me something becomes “disordered” when it interferes with your life in negative ways. Having a messy living room? Normal, not disordered. House so full of trash that you can’t use the living room or have guests over? Disordered. Same with calorie counting. Does it improve your life, make you healthier and leave you…
    in Is counting calories disordered eating? Shouldn’t we be able to not overeat? Comment by erizo19 February 2020
  • Yup, when I eat less I get a huge energy boost- I think it’s my body telling me to go out and hunt/gather more calories? It can keep me awake if I don’t exercise enough to tire myself out. Oh, and 24-hour fasting gave me CRAZY insomnia. But the effects are the most intense when I make a big cut, and they even out within a…

  • I have the same night time craving for sweets. I dont keep sweets in the house, since I know I’ll give in, but I do let myself have a night time snack - usually I go with cocoa or a banana with PB. I pre-log this and wait until I’m no longer full from dinner (usually 9pm or so) before I eat it. Some nights I don’t crave…

Studies of…

  • I've tried both 5:2 and 16:8. I didn't love 5:2, it gave me this crazy nervous energy (and insomnia) on fast days (although it got better after the first few times). I could see myself doing it again just to shake things up, though. I've also seen it work very well for one friend who didn't like to count calories, too.…
    in Intermittent Fasting - Thoughts? Comments? Comment by erizo19 January 2018
  • Yup. For me it’s Mrs. T Pierogi’s- I love ‘em but if it’s a choice between having a few of those and ending up hungry again in a few hours, versus putting the same calories towards veggies that’ll longer- just not worth it. Also fast food and soda- I love it but when I eat clean enough my tastes start to change to the…

  • I say get your sleep first, and if you cant find time to work out then try to put more exercise into your daily routine in small ways- take the stairs, park in the farthest away spot in the parking lot, if work permits it, look for a standing desk. I love my Fitbit for this because it helps you see how all those small…
