[@Pastellolzers]

Yeah!! My diet is basically what I eat everyday but without sugar and so much oil :)

[@OpticalArxenal]

I agree. With the caveat that some conditions just make it so. Like I have PCOS and all my weight loss diet plan has at best been 'ok'. But it's the only plan that worked and was sustainable enough. I will never go back to such diets once I'm done, but I will ofc never eat like I did before, which does mean a lot of things I love to to eat just ain't ever gonna be on the menu again for 'safety' reasons.

There’s a difference between feeling restricted and being diligent. I do those things most days and I don’t feel restricted, I love it because I see the results.

She ate like 900 calories (at most) from what I can see as well, and she is a GROWN woman! That’s how much my 3 year old eats! In Korea they seem to look at it more like discipline and self control and not “eating disorder” so it’s harder to realize how bad it can be sometimes.

All in is specifically for people who have been overly restricting their food so much and have been under eating for so long that they no longer have a period. It’s really just a means of letting go of food rules and eating to satiation. It’s definitely not for people who struggle with bingeing or over eating.

[@roj499]

But I definitely think that the concept of all in has been taken out of context and used as an excuse for people to binge.

[@dianalove539]

@Rachel Forshee I think intuitive eating can be helpful for fat people as well, I’m fat and I still get hunger and fullness signals... if I were to listen to my hunger signals and ONLY ea when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full I’d be in a calorie deficit everyday, all day, and probably get to my goal weight. But that’s too hard to do so I’m sticking with the smaller changes I know I can do (aka yeah, counting calories, adding food rules)

On the opposite end of the spectrum, KZbinr Of Herbs and Altars has been doing the same thing. Taking her anorexia recovery slow - because when she has tried to do it too fast she put herself more at risk of a relapse. I wish anorexia treatment programs considered that - they should, as surely as obesity specialist programs outside of bariatric surgery do. Because it makes sense that trying to treat weight issues of ANY kind too fast might cause issues.

[@mavenoire3704]

I'm the same:) lost 9 pounds in a month and was really in a healthy mindset. I'm ending my third month soon and I've noticed changes in my appetite. I no longer crave my go to foods like Jack in the box or hot cheetos. That's so crazy to me since I've craved and would ultimately cave for those foods. I haven't weighed myself since my first month but hopefully I can come back and give a progress report. UPDATE: I'm at 213 pounds! My starting weight was at 228 with my height being 5'2. I think I'm going on my 4th month since I started changing my eating habits. I probably won't look at the scale for another two months but man I'm pretty happy.

You can have sugar and lose weight, I’m proof of that BUT when you’re addicted to sugar like I am, you’ll end up in a yo-yo pattern that never ends. For me too much sugar is the same as being an alcoholic. Give me 1 piece of chocolate and I’ll go buy 3 bags of chocolate and eat it all.

[@SEvelynJackson]

I believe the key is getting the diet right and finding a herbal program to eliminate toxins from the liver and kidneys. And when you have supported snd enhance their ability to eliminate toxins you will find the addiction and cravings go away. When the liver and kidneys are not operating in peak performance weight gain happens as well as food cravings.

[@chexmik1711]

I'm absolutely a sugar fiend. I still have sweets pretty often but I'm finding that since I have made some food swaps that resulted in less sugar in my diet, I enjoy my little treats more. Individual packaging has been a big help too. I can't buy a whole gallon of ice cream. I will eat it all. But I can get a pint of Nick's swedish triple chocolate for 300cal and eat half or even the whole thing and it will be fine because it doesn't mess up my deficit. I only ever buy one or two at a time to keep myself reasonable.

So anytime she needed to drive somewhere for groceries or give someone a ride, she had to walk far.

it's refreshing to hear someone like you say the same things I live by. It's basically just math, calories in, calories out. I've lost and maintained my loss for many years now. I've found it always comes down to counting calories and activities.

[@JillRhoads]

Totally agree John! Simple does NOT mean easy! If you want a meal plan for weight loss research one. The whole process will help you learn about and understand food better which is the whole point. BUT dont go overboard. Try one meal at a time. If you like it, then repeat it and riff off of that one. For instance, my husband and I have something we call "ground beef suprise" where we take (obviously) ground beef and add veg (mushrooms, bell peppers, etc), soy and oyster sauce, fresh chilis, etc. It comes out a bit different each time. BUT I know that it will have enough protein (and some fat) in it that I need and I can measure it out approximately as needed on the kitchen scale. So I grab that along with some raw veg (for the crunch factor) as my go-to, got-no-time, no-motivation-to-cook-a-whole-meal solution.

Of course 😬 I fail everytime I think this way. Now I have a completely different mindset. This food makes me feel crappy. I should stay away from that because it's not good for me. I learned to enjoy healthier options because I make it taste good and I know it does wonders for me! My tips for being 155lbs to now 134lbs today. Be patient and disciplined in wanting to be healthier. Don't allow food to control you.

i think her thought process was something like, “since i can’t workout because of my injuries, i’ll eat extra protein and then i won’t lose any muscle / strength.” (unfortunately it doesn’t work like that lol)

Yeah, I think she just found out about the gram of protein per pound of body weight thing, but didn't know you just get fat all the same if you're in a surplus and not exercising.

Yes! Can we please have a conversation about Stephanie Buttermore's latest video. She is SO full of it.

Her rhetoric, while packaged in a beautiful way, is harmful to so many people deep in the fight.

[@AmethystEevie]

I pulled my back at work about 2 months ago. Saw a doctor and he put me on a strict lifting limit. Which caused my job to change because my job requires us to be able to lift at least 30 lbs consistently, but be able to lift up to 50 lbs. I did some physical therapy with this injury and it did help. That was going well, my back pain was significantly reduced and I wasn't in pain all the time anymore, so I was released from care. 3 weeks later, I had a flare up of the pain and could not continue doing my job that day, reported it, and nothing came from that except the recommendation of self-care so applying ice 4 times a day and take pain meds. About a week goes by, I had some pain, but never got to that same level until 6 days later which was 2 days ago. So now i'm working with a doctor again and am back on a strict lifting limit and we're waiting on my job to approve the tests that need to be done to figure out what's going on. I am overweight, but my job is active and there's other medical things that go into why I'm not losing a bunch of weight with this job. But the depression from an injury is very real and honestly feels so much harder to deal with than a regular depressive episode - or at least it is for me. I am that person who wants to do everything I can on my own and only ask for help as need - not the greatest mindset to have, I know. But with a back injury like this, I'm having to rely on other people so much and that's hard for me. I've also gone from being active with my job to maybe down to less than a quarter of the amount of activity. My supervisor even suggested that maybe my alternative duty should be completely sitting all day. I said no to that, I'm so used to walking and being on my feet, that I want to be moving around. Plus, I would feel like I was doing more.

[@rileybaker9224]

that’s not necessarily contradictory. i DESPISE cardio and struggle running a mile because endurance sucks. but i enjoy weight lifting and go to the gym almost every day and am getting stronger. even at my most muscular and least muscular i’ve never been able to run more than a mile straight lol

[@doris2079]

@@rileybaker9224 I think it is contradictory in her case since she wasn't lifting heavy weight (due to injury). Eating a lot of protein (by itself) would not make you strong. You need to combine that with lifting or challenging body workout. You're right about being strong and can't run, I am in the same situation. I have been lacking in the cardio department and cannot run 1/4 mile to save my life lol. I am trying to slowly incorporate more cardio in my routine.

Man, she talks about sugar, carbs, etc, like she knows what she is doing or was an expert. And the whole thing about eating more protein to help her heal? She should have gone to the doctor for that. It just doesn't make sense, she's making her body undergo all these drastic changes. It can't be healthy.

[@sarajinki]

About the All In thing, I actually went All In without knowing before the whole Stephanie B. thing. I tried to reverse diet, but I was experiencing so much extreme hunger and then I got injured and my body was like ENOUGH and wanted all the food. I was undereating and overexercising for so long and going ''all in'' really helped with restoring other markers of health - like getting my period back, sleeping better, getting more energy, etc. It really doesn't solve everything, especially if there were other underlying issues intertwined (like chronic fatigue and mental health issues - which was my case), but I definitely had to go through that restorative process of not restricting to regain some of my physical heath and even mental health in regards to body image issues. Just thought I'd provide some positive insight on this although it's probably not the way for everyone for sure!

[@bbelsy]

Are you going to respond to her video? I’m really on her side. You missed the ball with this one.

[@MissNeilson]

She claims she lost 100 pounds in 4 months. She worked very hard doing keto OMAD and daily cardio and sauna. Although she worked hard those results are not typical or something to compare yourself to. She was recovering from a major car accident, your body uses and burns thru much more calories to heal.

When he said “Im gonna lose it” i lit lost it and start laughing in the middle of the street 🤣🤣

[@kymfortescue6737]

I'm doing the maths. She said towards the end she ate around 1400 calories a day and she did around 30 minutes of jumping rope (~600 calories) and 5 miles walk/run in total a day (~500 calories). I am going to be generous, even though she looks quite small (it's hard to tell on the video). So let's say she'd be maintenance at 2000 calories per day plus calories burnt. That's a deficit of 1700 per day - which would equal a weight loss of ~ 3.5 pounds per week (I am being generous to her in my estimates and with my rounding), which would be 14 pounds in the month. So she would have had to eaten a lot less and/or exercised a lot more to achieve the over 10 pounds additional weight loss.

[@rebeca6414]

I was on keto for 3 months and went down to 146, when I went back home and eating normal again made me go up to 189. It was hard to phase but since then my diet has been a lot better just be counting calories. Ps. These videos are always fun to watch and they always help me realize when I’m restricting too much

[@starfruitmimi]

[@MsMnlc]

I've been doing intermittent fasting for 25 weeks, OMAD for the last month or so. I chose this method because for me it's more sustainable to control when I eat instead of counting calories and eating three or more meals a day. It's not for everyone, though. I've lost about 10 kg without cutting out anything from my diet, just reducing the amount of meals a day.

I lost 15 lbs in a month and suffered seizures. Here’s the rest of the story: - I was on welbutrin twice a day a super high dose. (I’m also aware that this was probably the leading contributor, but I was losing weight quicker on it and thus asked for a higher dose) - I got on it because I noticed how much is suppressed my appetite. i mean, i had ZERO appetite. - I was under eating and OVER working out. It was probably ALL of the combined reason why I had seizures. But for real, I cringed at lose weight fast.

So I've been on OMAD (plus a snack) for about 2 years now. Its definitely not for everyone. However I am completely content on it. In the beginning it was super rough, you're always hungry. But after a few my body adapted and I'm only ever hungry at dinner time (my meal time).

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

You're so right; carbs are absolutely not the Devil when it comes to weight, they just slow you down a bit. I personally am very strict about my carb intake, but that's because I as an individual really enjoy the greater freedom that that allows me with my portion sizes, day to day. Weight management is such a personal thing, unquestioningly copying someone else is just a recipe for failure. I limit carbs to a fairly extreme degree, & I usually go around 8 - 10 hours between meals, and frequently do stints of 1 day on, 1 day off intermittent fasting. However, as a person with a severely limiting spinal injury, which is extremely sensitive to rapid movements + impact, my ability to exercise is very restricted, & I basically can't perform any cardio at all. That same injury also necessitates that I live a pretty sedentary life, frequently use a wheelchair, & sometimes have days in a row where I'm bedbound. So, obviously, when it comes to maintaining my body, I have to focus largely on the dietary side, rather than taking a more holistic approach. I also simply _do not have the same nutritional needs_ as a person who has a job & is hitting the gym on the regular. I can get by on much less food, because my day to day life requires a great deal less energy. The only remotely regular complicating factors are that high-pain episodes seem to send my metabolism into overdrive. When that happens, I listen to my body, & for the next day or so, I eat more of everything. Bodies are unique, diets should be, too.

I am now able to walk 30 min a day (One 15 min walk in the morning and One 15 min walk in the evening) and I have an indoor cycle I do 30 min a day.

I definitely get the idea of high protein diets. My breakfast now is usually Greek yogurt smoothie or Greek yogurt and some granola along with a protein bar either way. So I start my day with 40g of easy and quick protein because I HATE eating breakfast but have to for my meds now. I was worried I would be starving eating breakfast because that's how it was when I was a kid. By lunch I was miserable. The heavy protein definitely helps... Along with the fact that the meds kill my appetite. So at minimum I maintain weight but I'm usually losing it because I just can't binge anymore.
