Hi everyone, I hope it is okay for me to post here, I wasn't sure which forum to create the thread.

Edit: deleted the thread because my log attempt failed. I'm sorry

I really like the idea of challenging yourself to a number of days, and see what weightloss comes. Nice one.

Has someone recommended 1100 calories to you? It's not very much, and I wonder if eating so little while exercising a lot is a) slowing down your weightloss and b) contributing to your low mood.

I'm not an expert at all but have in the past slowed my weightloss at 1000 - 1200 but hastened it at 1400 - 1500. I'm now following a lowER carb diet, which is also highER fat. I've lost 7.5lbs in a month, 4 of them this week. I don't want my non-expert view to confuse you but I don't like the idea of what you eat/don't eat making you sad ~ I've been there too.

Hi Rosaninte,

Thank you so much for reading my post and responding, I really appreciate it. you're right, I was not able to keep it going, the calories were way too low. I tried to stop the bingeing but I honestly just kept yo-yoing between either really low cal days and really high days.

Only 5 days ago I tried to start intuitive eating but last night and today didn't go so well. I started making videos, I'll link you. Thank you so much and congrats on the weight loss

Hi Bostoncreamprincess
Look for healthier options so you don’t feel guilty and purge but also curb the cravings. I just search for healthy alternatives of recipes I love. for example i love KFC popcorn chicken so i searched and came across this recipe. theendlessmeal.com/skinny-bang-bang-cauliflower/ it actually tasted just like it.
I also have a massive sweet tooth, love caramel so once again i searched about and found this recipe, its exactly like salted caramel , its a amazing combo between almond butter (just like peanut butter) just heaps healthy and salted caramel. thenutbutterhub.com/salted-caramel-almond-nut-butter/
