how losing and gaining the same 5lbs again feels

tips that aren't the same list from 2006

you know exactly what dumbass list I mean, and none of that shit is practical, it's giving uwu ana butterfly and we all know it

hi, I'm angel, I'm a nutrition major, and here are tips to keep yourself safe and hide your eating habits that actually make sense. this will not be in any particular order, but

avoid ketosis. i know, i know, you heard it burns fat faster! it also makes you smell like a dog rolled in sharpies and makes you stupid. i'm not kidding, you will be slow as fuck. avoid keto at all costs, carbs are better and healthier than being caught and dumb

take electrolytes and pay close attention to your potassium intake. if you neglect this, you will damage your heart and muscles and run the risk of having a heart attack. i use liquid IV because I have POTS and need the extra sodium, but that brand is also good for ED-havers because it has extra b vitamins

take ultra strength prenatal vitamins. they contain extra folate, fish oil, and dha, all of which are necessary to protect your heart and brain when you're not intaking much food.

For other supplements, I recommend Metamucil to keep your bowels going, iron, vitamin c packets (will make the iron absorb better, I personally use the +immunity ones), b-complex, calcium-magnesium-zinc, and vitamin d. Make sure the b-complex contains b-12. Feel free to send me an ask or dm me for dosages because some of these will depend on where you live geographically or what food you are eating.

find a protein shake you like. I'm a muscle milk bitch personally, but fairlife, premier, etc, are all good. make sure it isn't a meal replacement shake, and make sure it contains at least 20g of protein. these contain vitamins beyond protein that will help you stay healthy. the protein will also keep you full. i recommend using it as milk in coffee because the coffee will also suppress hunger and act as a mild laxative without harming the bowels. don't take your iron along with this, as dairy will hinder the absorption of iron.

don't take laxatives. you're going to give yourself IBD. maybe once a month as an extra cleanout you can do a little miralax, but the natural route is always better. regularly drink coffee and drink specifically senna green tea, they're both natural laxatives. the metamucil i recommend will also keep you going. if you need a bigger laxative effect, blend a whole peeled and seeded orange, a few inches of peeled fresh ginger, juice from a whole lemon, add a tsp each of cracked black pepper and turmeric, blend with coconut water until it's a thin smoothie consistency. drink that, you'll be good.

the best thing you can do for yourself is hide your behaviors behind health food gym girlie orthorexic behaviors. nobody takes orthorexia seriously and they encourage those behaviors. you can cut out whatever the hell you want if you're crunchy and healthy about it.

don't go too crazy about it. old tips would tell you to act like you loved food and it's really obvious. being obsessed with food and cooking is weird and obvious. don't talk about food constantly and make it your whole personality to try to hide, it's bizarre and one of the signs they tell parents to look out for. you have to be nonchalant. food is whatever. you like it, you have favorite meals, but you get tired of tastes quickly, you're picky about textures, you don't like it once it gets cold, etc. it's just fuel and it's meaningless to you. you eat for your health, not for pleasure.

high impact workouts like HIIT and running may not be the best idea. some studies show that high impact exercise stimulates hunger hormones in some individuals. pilates, ballet, and yoga are low impact, high results, and give a very desirable aesthetic. they're also quiet and can be done with a yoga mat and maybe a theraband.

get a job. get a hobby. join a sport. being out of your house as much as possible gives you the largest opportunity for excuses. oh my job catered lunch, oh there were snacks at practice, oh so and so brought something to the knitting circle. this can also be an opportunity to earn or save money (or swindle your mom out of cash by obtaining money for concessions at games and then only getting a diet coke)

if you control your own food, maximize your nutrition. salmon, tuna, sardines. kale, chard, spinach. beans, lentils. berries. protein pasta. pasture raised eggs. the fancy filtered fairlife milk. your body will hold out so much longer if you're keeping it fueled with proper vitamins and minerals.

track your food using cronometer - if someone sees it on your phone and asks, you have a perfect built-in excuse. oh, you don't care about the calories, but it tracks vitamin and mineral intake, and you're trying to make sure you're getting enough of those because you have, say, an iron deficiency or you're worried you're not getting enough omega-3s.

anorexic hair is really obvious. it's from malnutrition and stress. absolutely ensure you're getting enough omega-3s and other fats in your diet (avocados, eggs, oily fish, nuts like walnuts) to avoid the anorexia hair and the sallow, dry skin. this is also why i insist you take vitamin d, iron, vitamin c, a b-complex, and a pre-natal with folate and dha, those will also protect your hair and skin health. also make sure you're trimming dead ends, get a deep conditioner and/or bond repair treatment, do scalp massages, and if it does fall out, start using a mousse for volume and get a cut to maximize volume to hide it.

keep up your oral, skin, and nail health, too. these can also be obvious indicators. if you're taking the vitamins and keeping to the foods i'm recommending, it'll help, but make sure you're brushing and flossing, use the nasty brown listerine, a good dry skin lotion like curel, and a nail oil. keep your nails short if they start peeling, but if they're peeling, you need to take more vitamin d and iron, or you could have celiac disease.

there's no such thing as a broken metabolism, and you can't boost or slow down your metabolism. those are myths. the only way to make your bmr higher is to have more muscle.

extra tip: if you start fainting, tell people you have or think you have POTS. work smarter not harder.

How I avoid 3ating 💗

as a person with parents who don’t let me skip meals !!

🎀 If they can’t see you eat, don’t eat.

For example : It feels nice to wake up early, shower, pick a cute outfit and do your makeup right? So maybe give it a try :3 bonus is u can say u don’t have enough time and take the food to ur room to “eat”

or maybe say smt like “ah I want to eat in my room it’s cold here”

just come up with some excuse so u can go somewhere where ppl can’t see u eat <3

before you throw it away, if u have a chance to offer it to another person (but not in a suspicious way ofc), please do !! Bc this is just wasting food and I feel very bad every time I do it <3

💗 now, for throwing it away !!

if the food is dry finger food, wrap it in paper.

if the food is wet, put it in a separate bowl, glass or some kind of box thingy !! (u can stash it in secret in your room)

if the food is entirely a liquid, down the drain.

next, u want to make it look like u ate!!

so smear the food on the plate and on ur spoon or just scatter some crumbs or whatever just so it looks like u ate

afterwards

Talk abt how nice the food was so uhh smt like “wow the carrots were exceptionally crunchy” to not raise suspicion :3 u don’t have to do this but if ur parents know u skip meals it’s helpful ><

if u throw it in the bin, always put something above it to not raise suspicion <3

🎀 Try to stay outside as long as possible !!

maybe go on walks to spend the time or if ur parents don’t like it when ur out too long just stay outside in the lunch break and say u ate <3

🎀 Be busy.

For example if u have an upcoming test, say smt like “I’m so concentrated I really need to understand this I’ll eat later save some for me” and hopefully they’ll forget or go to the kitchen after some hours and make it look like u ate

but obv don’t try this too often bc it’s sus

🎀 Sleep early bc ur “tired”

especially if u did the busy thing u can maybe take a nap during lunch or just sleep early bc ur tired from all the studying and u have [insert some event u have tomorrow like a presentation or just make up an excuse]

🎀 say u ate snacks

buy smt and keep the wrapper somewhere visible and make up some excuse like ughh I ate too many chips or ahh that chocolate is giving me nausea

plus u can share ur snacks easily with ppl so js buy smt for ur friends ><

and yea that’s it TwT I’m trying to come up with more ways but I hope those helped in some way <33

hunger pains

reblog if you cried

✧ Ana Reminders ✧

empty is elegant, silence is strength

• Hunger is not the enemy — it’s your proof of progress.

• You’ve been full before. Remember how disgusting it felt.

• Skinny girls don’t snack — they sip water and stay quiet.

• Cravings are lies. Discipline is truth.

• The smaller you get, the stronger you feel.

• You don’t need food. You need control.

• You’ve come too far to be weak now.

• If you eat now, you’ll hate yourself later. Always.

• Don’t let a moment of comfort destroy a week of effort.

• Be the girl who doesn’t give in. Be unforgettable.
