    Skull How to get away with my diet?

    I'm on an extreme restrictive diet, and I was wonder if anyone has tips on how to deal with family. The problem is I live with my fat sister who needs to eat daily, and she constantly asking, "Are you hungry? Want to buy pizza" And when I go visit my family, I always end up stuffing myself up. My grandma thinks I'm anorexic, but I won't consider myself that because I can eat big when I want too!

    I take the blame for allowing myself to use them as excuses for my weight loss process, but I got to do this.

    I'm like 10 lbs away from looking great lol.

    errr...before people jump on you,

    can you say what your caloric intake and your exercise expenditure looks like daily?

    Your "extremely restrictive diet" is not going to make you look great.

    Eating daily is necessary to keep your body functioning as well as metabolizing.

    Sorry but ten pounds is more than just water weight, that's not gonna get solved by fasting.
    I hate to get preachy but your post raises a couple BIG red flags and the whole "takes one to know one" instinct kicks in, I'll tell you this in case nobody else does, restricting does NOT equal weight loss. Most likely, since you're at a weight that you're not happy with, it's due to certain habits that got you there. When you restrict, you will be very hungry and be more inclined to overcompensate for that calories you theoretically skipped (in the form of returning to whatever unhealthy habits got you to your unsatisfactory weight in the first place). So you either continue your fasting and your body will slow its metabolism to keep you alive for longer, or you will eat and your body will produce a shit load of insulin.

    There is no way of getting into shape that you should feel uncomfortable asking your family to back you up on.

    I'm not a dietician. I'm just another girl who has been where you're at, more or less, and stumbled upon a healthier way of getting to my ideal weight than what I was doing (purging). I started dancing and I enjoyed pole work, and the combination of the cardio from dancing and the strength from pole kicked my ass into shape within the first month of being a dancer. I was so relieved to find a healthy way to get into shape.

    Trust me, you don't have to fall into the "anorexic" qualifiers to develop disordered eating behaviors.
    I never restricted for more than a day or so, have never been underweight, almost never binged, but I spent a solid year purging between 0 and 6 times daily.

    I'll tell you this, losing weight in an unhealthy way is not cute. You will not look good. If you successfully drop that ten pounds via your extreme restricting, 1) It will not stay off for long and 2) You will have to work even harder after the pounds are off to make your skinny-fat body look as healthy as someone else who loses the same amount of weight in a healthy way.
    Not only that, but losing weight quickly will make your tits sag.

    ANYWAYS. My advice for "dealing with family" is to be honest with them. If you cannot be honest with them then you should reconsider what you're doing to your body.
    If you cannot handle your sister ordering pizza, either talk her into ordering something healthier, or if you can't stay away from the pizza try filling up on healthier food before the pizza arrives.

    I used to basically live off a giant salad and a smoothie a day. Maybe a pastry a week as a reward. Sugarfree chocolate or fruit snacks when I wanted dessert. Once and awhile I'd have a lemonade, but I ususally just had water 24/7. I kind of calorie cycled, because I'd eat a lot like 1 day a week, though I didn't plan that. The overall goal was to basically eat no gluten, eat low cal, natural foods, and not high in fat. I basically skipped breakfast (well, replaced breakfast with a handful of supplements and 1-2 bottles of water). That way I really appreciated my large salad for lunch. Then I prolonged eating after lunch as long as possible, and then had a smoothie for dinner. If I still wanted something, thats when I usually opted for the sugarfree chocolate or fruit snacks. As a trade off, sometimes I would skip the smoothie all together and just go to bed really early. Worked out great.

    When other people offered me food, I would say I already ate. Or "oh I just ate!" lol. Just because I didn't want to deal with their lectures. They don't know what my body likes. This way of living took extreme dedication. I wish I could be that dedicated again.

    Some people might call that "the starvation diet" but I can tell you I had never been healthier in my life. I was lean, had a ton of energy all the time, and for the first time (only time) in my life had regular periods. So I'd say there's something to it. In the end, I think nutrition trumps calories by far. And if you eat the right things, you can get all that nutrition in under or around 1000 calories a day.

    Thanks, well roughly this month 600-1200 calories a day, with a few days of fasting in between; vitamin pills, and I make sure I get protein/fat every other day just to make sure my vitamins dissolve. It's not consistent. I have a ton of energy, feel great, and look the best I ever had in my entire life. And the longer I maintain the diet, the easier it is to stick to it, but if I go off track then I just go into a 2-3 day binge. Then I jump back on track. When I eat, it's fatty food with a lot of protein.

    I was 220, and now I'm about 140 lbs, but this took three years. I am afraid of loose skin so I never go on a long-term fast. I don't want to get too skinny though, just because I am afraid of osteoporosis, and heart failure.

    Thanks Chefkitty,
    I'm honest with my family. I tell them I am water fasting, and point blank starving myself to look good.

    Me neither! Exercising too much isn't healthy so I don't engage in that. It hurts the bones. It causes free radicals which causes aging, so it's kind of "a little goes a long way" situation. But I do exercise like 1-2 hrs a week because it improves the health of the body, and makes you look better.

    The faster the metabolism, the faster you age. The more calories you eat, the faster you age. At least based on the cron diet.

    That's why a lot of bodybuilders look older than they are, and a lot of runners have sun damage skin. That's why Madonna looks so old for her age even though she works hard to maintain her body.

    I hope you all realize you're advocating her starving herself.


    I didn't realize SW had become so so pro-Ana.

    Peace out people. I'm done here. Y'all just don't want to listen to reason and be healthy. Do what you will then.

    I would consider this supporting an eating disorder and I hope this thread is deleted.

    You really need to get to a dr or nutritionist to get some real information. You are hurting yourself in some massive ways here. You need to your calorie intake. It's gotta be up everyday not just once in a while. In starvation mode your body just doesn't properly work.

    And I hope strongly that this is a shut down thread and extremely confused why a mod would be so encouraging on such a horrible idea. I've never seen that since I've been on here. This is some scary stuff and should be handled as such. Everyone has their own opinion I get that, but a mod should know better personally than to agree that such a harmful method is good...

    Are we reading the same thread? Because I don't see anyone on here encouraging her to starve herself. And I don't see pro-ed posts by MODS (or anyone). All I see are people encouraging her to eat healthy? Or people freaking out.

    And she's not anorexic if she's 140 lbs considering anorexia is defined as purposely maintaining a BMI 15 or less, which she is not close to at that height/weight. She's not purging either, so its not bulimia. And every diet could be classified as extreme restrictive... because that's the point of a diet right? To restrict certain foods. And she fasts here and there (she didn't say how often), which half of SW posts about doing. IDGI?

    This thread looks like every single post in the "What did you eat today?" thread. Only she is asking how to successfully watch what she eats when her sister makes unhealthy choices like pizza everyday, which would be a legitimate concern. If someone puts a large amount of unhealthy food around you every single day, you're going to be tempted to eat it. Through portion control and not eat junk food, this person went from obese down to a normal weight range, but isn't to her goal weight yet. Why are people freaking out?

    Am I missing something?

    That is eating LIKE an anorexic person. again-not saying you're anorexic, but based on what you're writing here, you are promoting eating like an eating disordered person. It says in our rules that SW is NOT a pro-ana website, but here you are promoting it. And it's not just you-I have been seeing threads like this one pop up, and others, that promote it as well.

    She says right here she is fasting "a few days a week". A few days a YEAR is okay, not a few days A WEEK or even a month. Again-she is eating LIKE an anorexic. Nobody should be saying that's okay-ever. Because it's NOT.

    She also says point blank she is starving herself. Water fasting is just a fancy way of saying starving yourself as well.

    This-to my knowledge-is pure bull crap. I know modern medicine. I stay up-to-date on my nutrition research. Give me REAL science to back this up. Give me the journal you got it from and the peer reviews.

    She also says point blank she is starving herself. Water fasting is just a fancy way of saying starving yourself as well.

    1.) Since when is eating 2-3 large meals a day eating like an anorexic person? lolol. I ate a huge salad, a huge smoothie, and either a pastry/fruit snacks/chocolate/lemonade/something else every single day (usually late nights or lemonades would be in the morning). Once a week I'd have something heavier like a large Togos sandwich or something, but that was already my calorie cycle day that I mentioned above.

    I felt fuller than full by the time I was done with each meal. What are you even talking about? Just because I didn't stuff myself with breads and unhealthy things, and instead did with mass amounts of fruits, veggies, or juices instead doesn't mean I'm eating like an anorexic person. I didn't even deny myself dessert. Like I said, the goal was to avoid gluten and high fats, which is why my caloric intake ended up only being around 1,000 calories/day.

    In addition, I also already mentioned I was not working out at all, so I didn't need the extra calories. Its not because I didn't want to, its because I did not have the time. Where is the logic? I ate this way because I was going to school full time, working full time, and interning. I needed energy asap, and I squeezed in meals and sleep where I could fit them. I don't regret it at all, its the only time my period has been regular so I must have been doing something right.

    2.) She literally said she only fasts a few days a month here: "with a few days of fasting in between;" when mentioning what shes been doing for the past month. I don't see why people are freaking out because half of SW does that. And no one in this thread (that I can see?) advocated fasting at all anyway. Fasting is essentially starving yourself, yes, but eastern medicine promotes fasting like crazy as a way to give your body a break from digestion. So I don't think judging "a few days of fasting" a month should be such a big deal?

    I'm not pro-ana by any means. These crash diets are a sad reflection of how our society has become. This country has an obesity rate of over 30%. (Yes I know the tagline in my siggy is misleading) Instead of promoting discipline, good nutrition and exercise we encourage binging, fasting and purging.

    When I was heavy I made bad food choices. Guess what? I gained weight and I paid for it dearly. It took me almost 1 year of changing my diet, 2 hours at the gym a day 5x a week. Blood sweat and tears. I do restrict my calorie intake but only because of my height. I do NOT need to eat 2,000 calories a day of empty processed crap.

    My whole point: Crash diets don't work. The weight will come back eventually. Sometimes I go a day without eating, but that's because I'm just not hungry. Eat, but do so in moderation. Hit the gym.

    As I said earlier, I am done arguing on this site about it. People with a mindset like yours refuse to listen. I just want to make sure that the people out there who read threads and posts such as this thread and the posts on it don't take advice given on it as gospel, and instead do some real research and see a GOOD, QUALIFIED nutritionist or doctor and get the advice from there or take the "advice" from here to those qualified people.

    A lot of the "Advice" and "role-models" on this site is/are misguided, misinformed, and downright bullshit at times.

    It's not just here, GlamourRouge, and it's not just you and the OP. There's a lot going on here in Body Business that is bad. This thread is just a prime example of it as are your posts.

    Goodbye. I'm not going to argue with people who refuse to see reason.

    This person is obviously not crash dieting if she has lost 80 lbs in the span of 3 years though. And is not binging, purging, or fasting for long periods of time.

    Seriously guys, I don't think we are reading the same thread. lol

    I saw one, and that's who created that diet for me, based on my dietary restriction needs (no gluten, low fat, no red meat, no processed foods aside from my weekly pastry or fruit snacks). Why is everyone being so crazy?

    and tempest666 gives some good advice-especially as she mentions her height. Different people need different amounts and types of food, but NO ONE should be eating as little as 1000 calories a day or under on a regular basis unless you're a midget.

    I would say its not fair for you to judge that without taking into consideration ones height, current weight, body frame, genetics, activity level, and the food they are eating with those 1,000 calories. I mean eating 1,000 cals of pure healthy/natural food is completely different than eating 1,500 of partially processed foods like majority of the world does. Why makes them healthier than I was? Nothing, because they weren't. And eating 1,000 cals/day and being short with no physical activity is different than eating 1,500 cals/day and being tall and working out all the time.

    Like I said, my goal was not even to lose weight (and I didn't really, like I said maybe 15 lbs in the 2 years I did it), it was to be healthy and have energy to get things done. I ate just about the healthiest and cleanest I could aside from when I rewarded myself with desserts. It was essentially raw aside from the chicken or fish in my salad (I now no longer eat chicken). And when you eat raw, point blank its going to be low calorie while still eating a lot of food. My skin was amazing, my hair was amazing, I had so much energy, I never felt like I needed more than 8 hrs of sleep a night, I had regular periods for the only time in my life.

    You can keep trying to lump me into pro-ana all you want, but its not the case. Since when is pro-healthy pro-ana? I would actually go back to this diet in a heartbeat if I had a schedule that busy again because it really served its purpose and was convenient.

    We know whats best for our own bodies, and how our bodies respond to things.

    ^This IMO.

    Losing weight can be a hard and slow process. It’s easy to feel disheartened and try something extreme in an attempt to see results faster. I think as women, most of us have been there and understand. But, water fasting? That is basically starvation...so your family will worry more if you tell them that. A simple, "I'm watching my weight" will suffice. It sounds like they make poor choices though.

    Some very restrictive “diets” can do more harm long term to your body than any short term good you might see, full stop. So be careful.

    Anyway, if you are trying to be healthy and have to visit or eat with family, prepare something for the meal to take with you i.e. a salad, soup etc. And when your sister is hungry-suggest making something together (if you are hungry or it's a meal time) and make a meal that suits you…your family can always “junk up” or add to their meal if they want to. That way there is a healthy option for you (so you don't need to sabotage your weight loss goal) and you won’t seem so anti-social or worry them.

    Your diet was constructed around YOUR restriction NEEDS.
    This girl is flat out "extreme restricting" completely on her own and is thrown off when someone around her orders pizza.
    Although your restricted diet made sense and worked great for you, she most likely does not have the same exact digestive and nutritional needs you do/did.

    When other people offered me food, I would say I already ate. Or "oh I just ate!" lol. Just because I didn't want to deal with their lectures. They don't know what my body likes. This way of living took extreme dedication. I wish I could be that dedicated again.
    You can keep trying to lump me into pro-ana all you want, but its not the case. Since when is pro-healthy pro-ana? I would actually go back to this diet in a heartbeat if I had a schedule that busy again because it really served its purpose and was convenient.
    And she's not anorexic if she's 140 lbs considering anorexia is defined as purposely maintaining a BMI 15 or less, which she is not close to at that height/weight. She's not purging either, so its not bulimia. And every diet could be classified as extreme restrictive... because that's the point of a diet right? To restrict certain foods. And she fasts here and there (she didn't say how often), which half of SW posts about doing. IDGI?
    You literally just said she's not skinny enough to be anorexic and she doesn't throw up so she's not bulimic. Besides the fact that nobody on the thread even hinted that she was either of these disorders, it's also ignorant to imply that anorexia and bulimia are the only disorders that matter. You do NOT HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO HAVE AN EATING DISORDER and a HUGE part of any eating disorder is the psychological damage it leaves you with. This girl is literally alienating herself from her family for the sake of weight loss. That is not healthy.

    You saw a nutritionist and developed a specific diet.
    She is solely asking about how to "deal with" her family that she thinks is preventing her from losing weight, and she is BLAMING HERSELF for "using them as an excuse" therefore she sees her family as a roadblock to her weight loss, when in reality they're just not on extreme restrictive diets like she's trying to be.
    She never asked anyone for a daily eating schedule, like you laid out for her, completely unsolicited. You gave her exactly 1.5 sentences of a response to her question, and the entire rest of that post was outlining your [entirely unrelated] eating plan which as a result made you come off as pro-ed.

    Yes and I was replying to who said I am pro-ana and had an unhealthy ana diet, which was incorrect, so I corrected that because I don't want people thinking that since its not the truth. Please go review whose quote I was replying to, and maybe it will make sense why I wrote that.

    She's not, and those are how those terms are legally defined and diagnosed in psychology. And yes, people did hint at these, which is why I mentioned them duh. Take a look. I went to school for psychology, I know you don't have to be skinny to have an eating disorder, you are making all this up in your head because no one said these things. I brought up ANA and bulimia because people kept saying she was ANA (which she isnt by definition because her BMI is not 15 or lower) and I also brought up bulimia because purging was mentioned, and I was trying to point out shes not doing either of these activities so its not a major cause for alarm because everyone is jumping to conclusions.

    And sh
    e's not alienating her family. She just has a family who makes poor nutritional choices (pizza everyday? how is that healthy?) and expects her to do the same. I know where she's coming from because half of my family is like that and thinks bread and hot heavy meals are the healthiest thing you can eat, and its simply not the truth.

    All I was saying is that you all are judging this girl on her a couple days a month fasting. She does that and suddenly she's pro-ana and crash dieting and is unhealthy and practically going to die. I think you all are just taking this way too far.

    Again, I was replying to with that comment because she was saying I was on an ANA diet and I was not.

    And again, her family is probably a roadblock to her weight loss. If they are overweight and make unhealthy food choices everyday like she says. They probably eat heavy, bread-and-oil-based meals for most or every meal. And yes, this is a huge factor in weight gain. I see this with half of my own family who are overweight and some are morbidly obese. That is why I felt compelled to comment. Why do you care what I say?

    No, I did not give her 1.5 sentences of a response, I responded to her before but then deleted it (even though she quoted it up there so you can still see it) because I thought people were taking what I said the wrong way because they weren't reading what I was quoting and jumped to conclusions (which you all did again and again anyway in this thread), so I deleted it. The quote is still up though, of my entire comment.

    I laid out my schedule because I was showing her how & why I responded to people who offered me unhealthy food (just like her family does to her with). Why do you even care so much about what I write? lol. Only reason I have to defend myself here is because girls are now claiming I'm on an ANA diet and pro-ANA when they are just too lazy to read everything I write, or its too much of a trigger and the jump to conclusions and make up lies without asking for the backstory.

    I think you are unfairly judging a girl you know nothing about, and jumping to conclusions based on "facts" that the OP never stated or clarified.

    For someone who thinks everyone is judging you, her, and posts on this thread, you make quite a few assumptions about her family that you really know nothing about.
    You are the one who is judging based on nonexistent "facts" more than anyone else in the whole thread, saying her family probably eats unhealthy yadda yadda yadda. She never said that! She said she stuffs HERSELF when she goes to visit them.
    Besides that, you are trying to say her sister has pizza every day, and by that logic she is also implying she fasts a lot more than a couple times a month. So which is it?

    I did not come after you to personally attack you, but you seem to think our input is the most valuable since you are saying "everyone" is "freaking out" and "being so crazy".
    You are somehow relating your experience, in which you admittedly lost 15 lb over long-term, to her situation where she's trying to lose 10 lb quickly.

    Not only that, but nobody ever called her anorexic.

    No, she literally mentioned her sister is "fat" and eats pizza everyday and has to stuff herself when she sees family because she implies that is expected of her.

    That comment makes no sense because you are implying she always fasts around her sister. Then how does she "stuff herself" at her family's if she's fasting? And why you are digging so far into this?

    No, I am relating my experience of eating the amount of calories in her calorie range (1,000/day) and it being OK because it was a diet plan by a dietician since everyone is freaking out and saying its an eating disorder. And again, I stated I wrote that because I was trying to show how & why I respond to people who offered me unhealthy food (much like her family/sister does to her) when I am on a lifestyle diet like she is, which is what she asked for input on in her original post. Again, why is this an issue for you?

    ANA=anorexic.
