I found this diet on YouTube but have edited it a bit and I give some useful tips.
Please only do this for a week. I have anorexia but even I’d only do it for a short period of time.
Let’s begin:
Breakfast: oatmeal, berries.
Lunch: skip if possible, or eat fruit.
Dinner: 2 boiled eggs, 1 ½ slices of toast
Tips for snacking:
Fruits and berries (in moderation! they have sugar too!)
A spoonful of peanut butter! It keeps you full and can help you lose weight and prevent heart disease! Screw that spoonful of sugar, by the way. Go for a reduced or 0g sugar peanut butter if possible
Lettuce! It’s crunchy like potato chips and it’s basically just water so you 1. Hydrate and 2. Get healthier!
Water. Can’t stress this enough. 0 cal, 0g sugar, 0g fat, 0g- well, you get the point. It’s like being able to drink air. And to those people who say water has no taste… *cough* anyways, try drinking more water and especially before meals to help you feel more full and thus eat less, and hydrate you!
Oatmeal. I mean, seriously! Google the nutritional facts about it! Helps you lose weight, keeps you fuller, gives you more energy, etc- and it tastes good! Try lower calorie oatmeal, and don’t be afraid of instant oats!
Tips
Do not give up, first of all. It’s obviously easier said than done and even I struggle with it, but do not give up. You will get there. It doesn’t happen overnight, it happens every time you choose a healthier option.
Do not not not not NOT drink soda oh my God I can’t even stress that enough, do not drink it. Your daily recommended sugar is around 24g, right? A single bottle can be about 3x that. And the calories, not to mention it bloats you and makes you look fatter… just stop. Drink water. Water tastes gross in comparison at first but you’ll get used to it. Try cold water- it’s waaaaay better~!
Try light workouts occasionally. It’s hard to not feel awkward and it’s hard to get the willpower to stick to a routine, but when you do, it feels like you can do anything, and you can do anything.
Try to get a buddy in this! Online or offline, just someone who will be there to keep you in check! It really motivates you when you have competition or a friend
Look at other’s weightloss progress! It really helps!
Don’t be afraid to do something new. You’ll thank yourself in the long run
Speaking or run, go for one! It’ll boost your energy and you’ll feel relaxed afterwards!
Chew gum. Yes, I know it has calories and sugar, but trust me. Chew it. It’s better than eating a buffet.
Don’t be afraid to say no. When you’re offered foods you’d otherwise say yes to, you’re going to have to say no at some point even if you don’t want to. It’s hard- especially if you won’t get an opportunity to eat that cupcake any other time soon- but it you don’t stop allowing this behavior it’ll just get harder and harder to get thin. Just say no this time, and once you hit your goal you can say yes.
And lastly? Just know you’re really hecking perfect. You don’t have to change because it is true that the right people will come despite your looks, but you can still get prettier so that YOU can feel pretty.
I’m not going to just say “oh Haha ur so pretty don’t change u can b anything n everything it’ll be easy to be beautiful just be u, ur still loved UwU!!!” Because that’s the bullcrap no one likes to hear. You won’t feel pretty just because someone said so. You won’t be skinny overnight or just because you skipped a meal or two. You won’t suddenly have a million people asking for your hand in marriage. You will still want to change yourself despite someone saying you don’t have to, and the truth is that it’s just growth. Change = Growth. When you grow a flower and it does grow well, but you feel that changing the fertilizer could either make it grow better or make it wilt, you can take a risk and use it because you won’t know it this change will help you flourish or if it’ll just end up failing.
So let’s stop giving up and saying we cant. No one could until they did. I’m tired of hearing “I cant.” Why can’t the T just be a typo of “I can.”?
Bingeing is pretty much inevitable, at some point you’re going to binge. That’s okay. We all do it, what matters is how you keep going and how hard you work after.
It’s okay to eat if you need nutrition. Do your research, find foods with negative calories but have the nutrients you need. You can’t work out if you’re passing out all over the place.
You’re not a burden. If you need to talk to someone, do it. I don’t mean you have to talk to friends or family but find someone in the community. For me, having someone to help hold me accountable and make a plan with me helps so much! If you have no one else, shoot me a message. My inbox is always open.
There’s going to be times when your weight loss seems to slow down or even stop, that’s normal. Just keep working and it’ll get back there. Don’t let a couple days at the same weight stop your progress.
If you ever get the urge to reach out and get help, take that motherfucker and do it! An eating disorder is a really difficult thing to struggle with. It doesn’t make you weak to get help, even if you haven’t reached your ultimate goal weight.
You are valid. Don’t let someone tell you that you’re not for any reason. If your ugw is half of your current weight, you’re valid. If you binge, you’re valid. If you don’t “look like you have an eating disorder”, you’re valid. Everyone in the community is different. We all have different starting points and different goals. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
Most importantly, stay safe. If you starve yourself too much, you could end up dead. You can’t enjoy your ultimate goal weight and all of your hard work if you’re in a coffin. I don’t know about y’all, but I refuse to be buried looking the way I do now.
I keep seeing ana/ed tips on my dash that suggest you put an exaggerated amount of anything on your food to ruin it. Mostly salt is what they suggest, but I’ve also seen some who say “put anything on it, even detergents, so you won’t get to eat it!”
STOP. STOP IT. What are you doing? You do realize that you’ll have to throw it in the trash now, right? Guess who eats from the trash, that’s right, stray animals and poor people. You are poisoning them like this more than they already are from eating trash.
HERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE!!
Cook something, go to the street, hand it to animals/poor people on nice, clean plates. If you can’t allow yourself to eat clean, healthy food, don’t waste it. There are people who die from happiness from finding a cold piece of bread, so make their days better, give it to them. Show them kindness, let something good come out of our disgusting eating habits.
breathe. you’ve made it so far this year. you’ve gotten through so many things that you thought you wouldn’t, and you’ll continue to get though this, whatever it is. i know you can. i believe in you, and i’m so, so proud of you. i know it probably seems impossible, but it’s going to be ok. it’s going to be ok.
breathe in, breath out. and just keep breathing. we’re gonna get there.
