Starting this for accountability, since threads can't be deleted, if I stop this halfway my failure will be on the internet for all to see forever.

So a bit of background, I have been struggling with my weight my entire life. Struggling is probably not the best choice of word because I didn't really care about my weight or anything else for a long time. I would get hurt when people made mean comments but then go back to "who cares food is more delicious":P

My relationship with food is toxic. I don't know how to eat in moderation, I either eat whatever I want or starve myself, there's no healthy in between.

So I am going to challenge myself to try and eat like a normal human being and try and find a diet that works for me. Since it's not supposed to be just a temporary diet it has to be something that I can live with and stick to .

1) Calorie Counting

2) Low carb

3) Intermittent Fasting


I am going to try each for a month and see which one works best for me.

I'll check in every day and update my weekly progress on the main post, too malu to post my weight right now, but I will weigh myself weekly and update how much I have lost.

Thank you for this, but the reason I am doing this is not only to lose weight it's to find a sustainable way of eating.

I don't think I can eat the same thing every day forever sad.gif

I have dieted and lost weight in the past, but then I will go back to eating whatever I want and gain it all back sad.gif

I got no discipline cry.gif

This is great. Keep it up. Just to be sure, you haven't started on intermittent fasting yet right? If you do, what time do you fast?

I am calorie counting now, but actually it kinda looks like IF right? because I skip bfast or usually only have coffee.. it's not on purpose though, I am just not hungry in the mornings, but I don't have a stop time for eating and usually have my dinner very late at night.

When I do start IF I am think of trying out OMAD, skip bfast and lunch... Just because I think it's a good idea, I am usually only hungry in the evenings.

calorie counting is well, calorie counting.
IF = it's a way of dieting (fancy name of eating), where you fast for pre-set hours then only eat in the pre-set feeding window
OMAD = another way of dieting, where you stuff in calories you need in a day in only one meal. If you IF becomes more than 20:4 then it's probably OMAD anyway.

All your calories are pretty much carbs. This is definitely not sustainable. You need fats and protein.
Not sure how your journey went since there are no updates.

Hello,
My post may be overwhelmed by time, but what is certain is that there will always be someone who needs it. Your case reminds me of the ordeal I had to endure for a few years. I could no longer control what I should or shouldn't eat. The more food is banned from a list, the more I feel like eating more. I don't know what it is to eat intelligently at all. It was only after I discovered the Musklor usa site that I started to change my eating habits. Today, this site is my coach in fitness, dietetics and especially in weight training. My advice is simple: our body absolutely needs to move and not just any way, but according to the experts' instructions. The more you practice sport, the more the number of banned foods decreases.
