It’s SAFER, EASIER, and PERMANENT, and it’s effective as long as you pay attention and keep at it
I eat. sometimes. And sometimes I don’t eat. I just try and keep a balance between eating days and not eating days. This balance is up to you, honestly— it all depends on rule number three. Also: stay safe
On the days I eat, I try and keep it either low cal throughout, or fewer high calorie meals. I sort of eat sort of what I want, within reason, as long as I take single bites of my cravings vs. an entire hamburger. If I’m having a high cal meal, I try not to snack. BUT every so often, I have a day of saying an absolute fuck it and eating some delicious shit. This is good in the long run.
I weigh myself every day. I keep a scale in my room by hiding it under my dresser on the floor (also I’m just kind of allowed to). I base my eating off my weight rather than a schedule. I don’t always count calories, and I don’t eat on specific days of the week. I just eat and fast as needed based on the trend of my weight.
Rather than eating a set, low number of calories every single day (which is exhausting and slows your metabolism) you simply fast intermittently. This gives your metabolism the work it needs to continue functioning, but also allows you to burn the most fat on your fasting days where your metabolism is still raised. Stick to this rule!! It only works if you commit! Don’t snack on fasting days and commit yourself to eating a “substantial” number of calories during a day (read: more than 500, ok?)
You just get to base it off how you feel. Some days I feel ugly and I want to fast and some days I’m just hungry. Do what you please, but track your weight and make sure it’s trending downwards in general. There’s gonna be lots of fluctuation, of course, but you just have to take that into account. (Also... this is personal but it’s fucked up so don’t report me, bitches: it still gives you those days of feeling really clean and hungry and just drinking coffee and indulging in cigarettes if you’re stupid like me. But you also have days where you have some real energy).
IT’S SAFE AND PERMANENT. You’re not gonna die doing this as long as you’re careful. You’re also gonna be able to maintain the weight you drop down to. I know because I’ve had some plateaus that result from me eating a medium-low number of calories for a week or more in the row that end when I fast again.
There’s a couple places I’ve gone wrong. If I binge one night or something and I just don’t feel like weighing myself, I’ll skip a day, which can sometimes turn into two or three or a week days. Watching the numbers drop or stay steady is a real incentive to work hard.
Working out is still part of this equation
The progress is slow. I’ll admit that. But slow is good. Slow and steady is the way to go with weight loss, that’s a fact. And it’s not ridiculously slow. When I’ve been working hard (like I am currently), I can drop about a permanent ten pounds in a month.
The only things you have to do are commit, want it, work out, give yourself breaks, stay watchful, and stay safe. It’s not very scientific, it’s just about knowing your body and metabolism. Try and choose something like this over 500-600 calories every day. this is just better, especially in the long run.
