How to decide which kind of restriction is good for you to diet.
(by good for you I meant what you see as a more doable and less binge causing cause we all restrict badly and disordered okay)
High restriction-1200-1500cals
+You don't have to do metabolism days cause it won't fuck it up as much. Cheat meals on occasions like christmas are enough.
+Your meals aren't sus cause they look even sometimes normal but they're just healthier and low cal versions.
+With a tiny cookie or small bag of lays you can still fit into your calorie limit so you won't have a breakdown.
+A lot of energy to exercise.
+Easier to recover physically and not gain a lot of weight.
+Definitely will be good for a counting lover disordered person who don't want to die and might someday try to recover on their own or often tries to recover but want's to reach some goals before total recovery.
-You'll constantly feel like you ate too much and calories lie and that stress can lead to a binge.
-You have to make even meals and part the calories between them so you won't eat too big breakfast or dinner.
-The more you eat-the more you count so someone would notice and start asking.
-People who restrict low calorie can sometimes make you feel fat and you might want to change the restriction type and that can fuck up your whole diet
Medium restriction-800-1200cals
+You still have energy to exercise from time to time.
+You can lose more than on high restriction if you take care of your metabolism by exercising and eating well.
+Your meals still won't be sus if you plan them wisely.
+If you plan the meals you might have a chance to fit little cookie there.
+For a someone who weighs a lot and wants to drop that weight and then after reaching normal weight bmi will go for a high restriction it might be even a safe option or for someone who just thinks that high restriction will lead them to a binge yet low restriction would make them fast all the time and feel depressed.
-You should make a metabolism day at least one day/2 weeks and there's a risk it'll transform into a binge.
-You have to still plan meals evenly yet more healthier so they'll be filling and it's harder cause one apple is too little but normal sized peanut butter oatmeal may be too much.
-Sometimes you just look into the fridge and have no idea what could be medium restriction meal and end up eating variations of low cal oatmeal everyday.
Low restriction-0-700cals (but I recommend staying above 500)
+Weightloss fast as hell if planned well.
+You don't have to plan meals at all. Probably you'll have maximum 3 meals.
+As you eat mostly fruits, weggies and easy to count food, nobody's gonna see you count calories cause you can do it even in toilet.
+If you binge you probably still fit the amount of food your body burns for the whole day so you might even not gain any water weight.
+Better way to do a detox instead of a fast. Definitely a lot of sucidal people will choose this one, unfortunately. It's risky yet it can help you drop giant amount of weight in a couple of weeks. Works the best for a short time.
-Metabolism days minimum twice a week
-Cravings are so strong they are eating ur brain.
-After a month you may pass out after more than 15 minutes of exercise.
-The most noticable for others.
-No calories for a little cookie.
-You have to cut every cigarettes and alcohol (you should cut the energy drinks too) cause everything that might be dangerous for your health can now kill you in any second.
-So fckin hard to not turn it into a long fast or a long binge.
