Hi all, welcome <3

This is a dangerous and irresponsible statement to make to someone with the reported symptoms, who has yet to complete medical testing.

You need to find out if they tested ferritin, or just haemoglobin. Especially relevant if you have heavy periods and/or are vegetarian/vegan.

A cup of hot oatmilk with cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice stirred in.

Amazing achievement! How're you going to celebrate?

Has your endogenous thyroxine level remained within normal range without medication though?

Electric dog collars are an obscenity and are banned in many countries.

If you are recovering from multiple injuries it may not be the best time to work on losing weight - your body needs a lot of good nutrition to heal. Perhaps others who know more about this than me can add their thoughts? Do you have any ideas why your appetite is so poor? eg are you having to take pain relief?

It sounds like your GP needs to clarify whether s/he is confident that this stems from a dietary deficiency, or whether you in fact have Pernicious Anaemia. Have you had a blood test for intrinsic factor antibodies?

[/quote] Yes, before when I was losing I was logging accurately and consistently. I was weighing things like meat, quinoa, and other things. If it was like a granola bar no but everything I could weigh I was. [/quote] In which case your logging is inaccurate, and you could be consuming more calories than you're…

Great that you've already planned a strategy to avoid this situation next time. I'd add it might be helpful to take in your own delicious treat to enjoy, eg a creamy yoghurt and juicy berries.

So inspirational <3 Beginner stats twin! Can you share a little info on how you achieved this?

You are 100% correct in identifying that these people are trying to sabotage you making changes. Whether they're conscious of it or not, they are on some level feeling personally challenged by you choosing different behaviours from theirs. Have you heard of the 'crabs in a bucket' phenomenon? I would wholeheartedly…

Is the anorexic healthy and 'not costing the health system'? No. Is the person recovering from bowel cancer healthy and 'not costing the health system'? No. Is the person with profound depression following bereavement healthy and 'not costing the health system'? No. We have to stop seeing 'thin' as 'good', 'fat' as 'bad'.…

Do not cut out salt. Hyponatremia is not fun.

Bread, pasta, and rice aren't contaminants therefore you don't need to be cleansed from them.

Just re-reading your original post, and wondering if you've ever previously had any problems with constipation? tmi warning: it's possible to get a 'stuck' stool that becomes very dry and impacted somewhere within the colon, and the person then experiences 'overflow diarrhoea' that passes around the blockage. I hope your…

Well this is goals for sure. Way to go B)

I've been trying a soya protein powder - unadulterated, no sweetener etc - to make smoothies and stirred into soya or dairy yoghurts. So far it seems to be working well for me; it's an easy way to get 9g of protein per 10g powder and keeps me satiated and feeling well. Also been cooking with tofu more frequently as it has…

I'm sure you know already this is psychologically unhealthy behaviour; it simply creates stress and anxiety <3

I don't there's a vegetable I don't like, except kale...the devil's weeds >:) :D

Very interested to know what the injections were, if you feel like sharing?

This is lovely, and lots more calorie counted ideas here https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/veggie-protein-chilli

No specific food adds to tummy fat. A calorie excess may be laid down preferentially as fat here, especially in women.
