Hey! I hope that you have been recovering well! It may be just water retention. Get well soon!

After reading the above, i think mine is reallly pathetic. Basically its just Monday - 45 to 60 minutes of swimming Friday- 45 to 60 minutes of swimming Is it too little? I dont have much weight to lose ( around 5 more Ibs to go) and I really dont have the time to workout that often.

Thanks for the advices.

Yeap tried to google about it and what I get was tons of different answers

I was once in your state before ans went down to the point where i would gorge myself with food (even those i dislike in the past). I guess it happens to everyone who is in the diet process. For me, once it starts, it will usually go on fore at least 2 days, as i will feel " Well, since i am already over my calories today…

Just got back on track a few days ago.

Yeap keep it up!

Hey me too! Lets work towards better health!

Eggs are a great source of protein and should definitely be included in your diet. I usually eat 1-2 full eggs per day, but if you are worried for your cholesterol, try aiming for 2-3 egg yolks per week. Egg white has practically no cholesterol, so it could be in your daily diet. Remember, the yolk contains more good…

He said try eating lean meats , vegetables, nothing special actually. But I didn't ask about carbs. So yea, if anyone know anything about low t3 syndrome, please drop me a comment! Thanks

I am like you, with a very small appetite. But its kinda easy to hit my daily 1200 calories with calorie dense food like nuts. Usually for breakfast I will have 1 slice of wheat bread, 1 scrambled egg with half slice of cheese, 200ml of milk mixed with some nestum, and some walnuts. I also had 2 medium sized prawns. This…

Try green tea. Not those canned ones but instead those in tea bags or dried green tea leaves. It helps me a lot in controlling my Sweet cravings. Trust me, it works. But never attempt to add sugar in it though, it will make you crave for more

I used to have this feeling too. Just tell yourself that the extra 20 calories is not going to make you fat, moreover you are still eating below your TDEE. You still need your cheat days. We are human! Good luck

awesome! What if I only eat Japanese cucumbers? Is it enough?

I am trying to recover from my eating disorders too. I used to eat and spit food out a few times per day, but after joining MFP yesterday, it has reduce to only one time for yesterday.I have more confidence that it would be a zero starting from tomorrow. I have to give credit to so many of the awesome users of MFP out…

That being said, can I repair my slow metabolism by eating more but still allowing a small calorie deficit ?

I am in your situation too whereby not many alofies are burned from exercising. Initially when I started to cut down on my calories, trust me, I was always feeling hungry. I guess you have to give your body some time to adapt to your lower calorie intake. For me, it took approximately 2 weeks. If you are really hungry, dot…

Cool! Thanks for the information that there is no such thing as damaged metabolism. If I were to continue to eat at a deficit of approximately 200 calories daily, but switch my food choices to those that are highly nutritious, will that do the job?

Thanks. I feel so much better hearing that metabolism cannot be damaged. But if that's the case, why do people metabolism slow down as they aged? Is it due the loss of muscle mass? But how?

Basically, any food pack with fiber or protein should keep u feeling full. Try lean meat, beans, eggs and vegetables

Also, will I look bulky by lifting weights?

[/quote] metabolism is based on muscle mass. unless you've experience significant muscle atrophy, your metabolism isn't as "damaged" as you think. if you want to "increase" your metabolism, you can try lifting weights to increase or, at the minimum, retain lean muscle mass. [/quote] thanks

Hey thanks for your advice! Hmm... Considering the fact that I have damaged my metabolism, I would say that my bmr is around 1000? So I would need around 1200 to 1400 calories per day? If I would like to repair my metabolism, how many calories should I aim for? Can I aim for 1200 and slowly increase it by 100 calories per…

Hey thanks for your awesome advice! So u are with me with my idea on 1200 to 1300 calories per day? 2500 calories on weekend may sound to much. Perhaps I shall up my calories to 1800on cheat days. Sounds good?

Add me! I never want to be alone!
