wl tips coming from someone who got to my ugw (recovered and gained weight, trying again)

Don't exercise whilst fasting. I do not care how fat and gross you may feel. You will only make yourself hungrier and feel beyond exhausted. To last longer, preserve your energy. (U can go on a 30 min walk SLOWLY)

Fasting longer then I'd say 2 days will make you want to binge, if you are prone to binging and that kinda behaviour don't fast for extreme periods of time. It's a bad cycle to get stuck in, don't push it further

As long as you are under ur calorie deficit, you can eat anything. If that means having a beer and a pizza slice, you can. You can still have ur fave snacks, eating tones of veggies and never feeling satiated will only lead to binges and slower weightloss if it means you binge on the stuff u restricted from yourself in the first place. If you need to eat some cheesecake do that

If you aren't losing or have hit a plateau and you eat under 500 a day everyday. You aren't eating enough, sounds counter productive (less calories more weightloss) but your body will ass fuck ur metabolism and it will back fire

It takes time. Don't beat yourself up, it's a disorder and the thoughts aren't rational. You can't just jump into it with delusion that you'll eat egg whites everyday and a protein bar and you'll look like a model. Have realistic expectations and you won't yoyo your weight. Trying to speed run weightloss will only lead to speed running it all back

You honestly don't need to exercise. If you want to look muscular and toned, yes it helps. If you just want to drop weight a cal deficit is fine. Walk, be active and healthy yes. But you don't need to over exercise. I got to my ugw by just walking to school there and back 20 mins each way. I layed in bed the rest of the day. If you overeat a bit cool you can burn some calories. However you can lose weight and not workout. It's possible

Take care of your metabolism and it will take care of you. Have high cal metabolism day, this prevents plateau and ur body shutting down and refusing to burn anymore fat. Ur metabolism has a huge role in ur body, and neglecting it will screw you.

Don't weigh yourself everyday, once a week max. It may be tempting but crying over 0.3kg of water weight will only bring you down more. Your hard work is paying off I promise.

Be very VERY mindful of snacking, early in my wl journey I'd be like oh a small snack small cals it's fine. It adds up, and the habit stays. If you can't handle hunger that's on you. Its tough, but it means its working. Eat actually filling, protein dense meals. The habit of snacking and constantly eating will not lead to you getting to ur gw.

Not really a tip but a good thing I heard when I first started out. YOU WILL BE HUNGRY. "Uh yeah duh no shit" no I mean it, even a little, you'll be hungry to some extent. You are not going to be full and happy from 2 eggs and a cucumber stick. Learning to deal with hungry and push past it was better then crying about it and snacking to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling

WEIGHTLOSS IS NOT HARD. Restricting VERY low is hard yes, but weightloss isn't hard. It's challenging, it's uncomfortable. This mindset made it alot more achievable and less intimidating. Calories in calories out, simple. It is an [uncomfortable] feeling that's all

Know your triggers, this takes time but hear me out. I would binge rarely because I knew that weighing myself, getting emotional, angry at myself for eating was a trigger. "Fuck it I'm fat anyways" kinda energy. I limited the times I weighed myself, I'd think logically after I ate "I need the calories to do x,y,z plus my metabolism. I realistically didn't eat that much to actively gain weight. I will be fine" this took time and getting to the root of the problem is the way to go

Hope this helped someone, every wl journey is different and a disorder is a disorder at the end of the day. Stay safe 💗
