me when the eating disorder doesn’t turn me into a twink it just makes me a skinnier girl
These tips are ideal for people 150+ lbs as I am 160 lbs and these are helping me! I am not a medical professional but we don’t all have access to that so I wanna say what helps me in the hope it can help others.
🤍 DONT ⭐️ve DO OMAD instead! If you’re used to eating 2000+ calories almost everyday ⭐️ving will work for the short term but then you’ll relapse back to old habits as you’re not used to it. Try OMAD because you’re still training your body to understand restricting but obviously you’ll be full at the end of the day. (Have your OMAD at about 4 pm - 8 pm)
🤍 Water fast only ONE day of the week to start for 4 - 6 weeks so your body can get used to it. Then do two days for another 4 - 6 weeks so you can get used to that.
🤍 WALK! Walk for 30 minutes everyday then increase to 45 minutes everyday then increase to 60 minutes everyday. Do this on an empty stomach before your OMAD.
🤍 PROTEIN! Fish and veggies or chicken and veggies every night as your OMAD. It will keep you full and a standard serving is less than 400 calories. Even if you add rice that’s still under 500 calories!
🤍 Allow yourself a low kcal (under 100 calories) treat after your OMAD. I know what you’re thinking but it’s better to have a 80 kcal treat every night than binging on 2000+ calories a couple days of the week! I eat two biscoff biscuits after my OMAD everyday and my daily caloric intake is still under 500 calories and I haven’t binged in months. It’s nice knowing I have a little treat to look forward too at the end of my day!
🤍 The usual advice - KEEP YOURSELF BUSY! Drink only water and green tea. Track your calories literally everyday YES liquid calories count. Remember why you’re doing this. Remember it’s always “I’ll start tomorrow” “Next month is my month” No one can lose the weight for you it’s you against you. Four months from now you CAN be thinner or not but four months is gonna past regardless time doesn’t wait for anyone. You got this!

Hey guys, I just wanted to make a post about this since I don’t think it’s widely known and can be very dangerous.
When your body doesn’t have enough sugar to burn, it burns fat instead. This is obviously what we’re all hoping for and is the basis of the keto diet—burning body fat produces ketones. However, high levels of ketones in the blood leads to lowered blood pH, which upsets your body’s homeostasis. This is called ketoacidosis (literally, high blood acidity due to increased ketones). Most commonly, ketoacidosis is a complication of type 1 diabetes caused by excessively high blood sugar levels but no insulin to use the glucose. Non-diabetic ketoacidosis is a result of starvation and can happen whether or not your blood sugar is low at the time.
Fatigue/muscle weakness
Dizziness
Confusion
Loss of appetite
Excessive thirst
Excessive urination
Blurred vision
Dry mouth
Tingling in the hands, feet, and face
Fruity-smelling breath
Kussmaul’s breathing (rapid, deep breathing; picture below)
I know that a lot of the symptoms above are also symptoms of low (or high) blood sugar, which I’m sure a lot of us experience fairly often. The Kussmaul’s breathing pattern is a pretty sure sign of increased blood acidity and doesn’t happen with hypoglycemia—watch for that especially. This is your body trying to re-regulate your blood pH by expelling as much carbon dioxide as possible.
Dehydration, which can lead to kidney or other organ damage
Low potassium, which can lead to heart problems
Fluid in the lungs
Swelling in the brain
Seizures
Coma
Death
REST!!! Stop making your body burn through its fat stores or ketones will just keep building up in your blood!!
Eat something with sugar!!! Real sugar!! I know it’s scary but you need glucose to burn right now!!
Drink lots of water!!! You’re losing fluid, help your kidneys out!!
If you’re not improving, GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!! You’ll most likely be treated with insulin and supplemental glucose. This will help kickstart the normal glucose-burning process.
I don’t want to scare you guys but this is serious. It’s fairly uncommon but don’t just think it can’t happen to you!! I was fasting yesterday and went into ketoacidosis while exercising. I ate some ice cream and laid down and was fine, but it took a toll on my body. Please be aware of this and please, please be safe.
