Bulimia and anorexia, as far as I know, do work when your goal is to lose weight. I mean sure they have a lot of side issues that are serious. But for the goal of losing weight, I see them working.
I'm not recommending them, of course, though.
You just need to feel full. You can do this by adding more veggies into your diet. Pig out on as many vegetables as you can handle. Think of salads and shit as an all-you-can-eat option with your meals.
Losing weight is a lengthy process that requires discipline over an extended period of time.
You find what your maintenance calories for your weight is and you actively eat well below that. Your goal is to lose roughly a pound a week...It takes a while but you’ll get there. Most people start losing and then start slacking until they eventually stop dieting all together
.
This reminds me that the mother of some girl I used to know once told my mother that her daughter used to drink tons of water to feel less hungry. Not sure if that works or not.
Well, there does seem to be something behind it, according to google:

Your stomach stretches, so filling it up BEFORE you eat isn't a bad idea to help you to prevent over eating.
Eat less, exercise more.
Basic math that bitch. It’s really that simple.
Crash diets are always ultimately failures. Eat what you normally eat, but less of it. Aim for no more than 2 pounds a week, and that is likely to stay off
Haha 2 pounds per week. Good one.
I've been using the myfitnesspal app to track my calories and it's been working really well for me in combination with some simple bodyweight workouts 3 times a week.
Yes
Eat no more than 600cal a day.
Former fatty here
I do not recommend this advice because it involves building up extreme hate towards yourself and your body to actually stick to it
>1 pack of cigarettes a day (less hungry)
>Lots of black, unsweetened coffee (like above)
>Have 1-2 days a week to fast
>Avoid anything that that's bad for your body (you know how can tell)
>Drink 1 liter of water before every meal
>Only eat twice a day until you are full, which is easy because of the water. Don't keep the food to avoid eating it 2 hours later
>Do as much cardio as you can
>Avoid foods that contain tons of calories (obvious)
This is completely trash, but I lost 25 kg in 3 months without excess skin
stop drinking soda and beer
when you're hungry between meals, snack on veggies, salads, cottage cheese, nuts
work more legumes, vegetables and lean proteins into your diet
light/moderate exercise
stop eating when you're about 70-80% full
unironically yes, dont eat. not eating is far more efficient than exercising, calorifically. it'll feel like torture, but you can offset this by drinking plenty of water, and periodically filling your belly that way. no matter what do not forget to drink enough water
Typically people are fat for two reasons:
1. They don’t know how to eat
Solution: learn how to eat.
2. They have a bad psychological/pulsional relationship with food
Solution: learn to bear with more stress or replace food with another stress-reliever
No. If you dip under a certain # of calories your metabolism will slow down. If you stop eating you will have all kinds of health problems and when you do eventually go back to eating you will gain a lot of weight because you will have damaged your metabolism. Just eat normal portions,cut down on sugar and stay active. Or join Weight Watchers. It works.
I have an eating disorder. Here is what 100% works for me:
Stop eating carbs. Not because they are magic poison, but because I feel fuller longer and have no blood sugar crash when I'm eating protein, fat, vegetables.
Load up on hot tea, diet soda, water, etc.
Psyllium fiber with 40floz of warm water (the fiber expands in your stomach and makes you full)
Eat vegetables and weigh them out with a food scale. You can eat alot of vegetables for very little calories
Drink hot broth if you feel hungry.
Keep up with potassium, magnesium, and salt. You feel fatigue when you're electrolytes are off. Also take vitamins.
Do IF or OMAD.
Eat pickles, pickled peppers, or kimchi if you need a snack. Something semi unpleasant /won't hit your dopamine receptors and trigger a binge
Also, starvation mode is a myth. People gain weight from binge eating/feeling hungry from restricting. Which is normal and not a special mode you go into. If starvation mode was real people wouldn't die from famines.
you can definitely screw up your metabolism from it. Your body DOES get more efficient at keeping on the weight. There is more to weight loss than calories. Of course if you eat nothing, you eventually lose weight but that's muscle too.
Eat when you are actually hungry, not out of habit or boredom(been there)
At the same time practice your self discipline and try finding a target kcal to aim for(about 1000/day for me right now) depending on what you do for a living(sedentary, active, etc)
Try cutting down on carbs like snacks and fast food(I've simply said no to all of it for now).
Cook by yourself more as it's harder to get a clear picture of how much energy there's in stuff you eat out/order(also cheaper)-
Remember to keep a decent amount of protein if you're doing any form of training or want to maintain muscle mass.
Get a bathroom scale - I look at it every day to get a heads up if I'm slipping, but if you don't want to obsess too much put it in a drawer and look every week/month
Look at the Jow Forums sticky, it has some good links
I did some fasting last year. Worked pretty well, you just have to be sure to take some vitamins and get your electrolytes. Once you're done you have to be not to just eat like you did before losing weight. If fasting is too extreme for you then it really is as simple as eating less, eating better, and exercising more
Best friend that was always big did this and legit looks like a different dude now.
