My "All In" Journey // 5,000+ Calories per day!

You could have chosen to disappear off social media…. But instead you chose to share and help. I respect you so much.

[@NaturallyKarli]

Believe me, I thought about it lol. But I can’t help but feel it would have been irresponsible and disingenuous. This stuff needs to be discussed more openly so more people don’t fall prey to ultra leanness and our pervasive diet culture.

I too have noticed super-slim WFPB vloggers disappearing and it's so sad, they sometimes mentioned going all in before closing down their channel and social media and my heart goes out to them because they probably binged and gained weight and were too ashamed to show themselves. I know what it's live to live for decades through a binge & restrict cycle and the only thing that healed me was a WFPB lifestyle that has enabled me to lose weight healthily and stopped all cravings for salty, sugary and fatty foods.

[@BB-ux5wd]

Agreed.

I truly admire anyone who does the 'All in' process. I couldnt bring myself to do it, I mostly calorie counted & tried to control things. But the mental hunger was torture for me....I'm more than weight restored 2 years in but my disordered eating is very much there and I've slipped back into being restrictive and doing intermittent fasting. I really wished I just went All-in right at the beginning and I'd probably be better now mentally.

Congratulations you’ve achieved your health goal. I can only imagine what you’re going through with weight gain. I know when I put on weight and have to buy new clothes it’s hard. I have some negative self talk and am not kind to myself. So I hope you’ve been kind to yourself during this process! I’ve been watching your videos for years and I had no idea what your were going through. I’m just glad you’re doing better and working towards your new normal.

[@NaturallyKarli]

This really hit home ❤️‍🩹 I am severely struggling with poor body image issues and difficulty adjusting to the extra weight. I know my body will eventually get back to a healthy weight on its own but in the meantime the negative self talk is unbearable. I’ve been seeing a psychologist to deal with the stress and gain some tools to cope without exercise. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

[@luluandmeow]

Lovely Karli, once again thank you so much for being honest and sharing your very personal and professional journey, I too am an all-or-nothing person and find it hard to be balanced and moderate sometimes, whether it's with diet or exercise so I understand what you're going through. It is terrifying to go all in because whenever it's happened to me (after restricting too much and not getting enough nutrients) I couldn't stop and ended up becoming seriously overweight and very unhappy very quickly, which is also not healthy. So I hope you have a healthier attitude than me and start eating and exercising again in a balanced way as it's also very important to be happy with our body and weight and to feel good in clothes. In my case gaining weight did not make me more energetic or productive and definitely not healthy as I just feasted on junk food.

[@NaturallyKarli]

I admire you for sharing. I had a similar journey with health drastically changing and then body picking on pounds. It’s a process to learn how to properly care for your body regardless of what it looks like. What many fitness enthusiasts don’t cover is that “no pain no gain” “mind over matter” can be abusive to your body - not a form of caring for your body.

[@NaturallyKarli]

I totally agree. I took all those recommendations literally lol. I thought I wasn’t working hard enough if it didn’t physically hurt. It sounds so silly to me now but a lot of people get into trouble this way.

Hi there. I'm a 35 year old female, I've had HA for 13 years. I got married two weeks ago, and with my husband being 43, we don't have much time to try and have a child. I know I need to go 'all in' now, I've avoided it for so long but now I have no excuses. I appreciate you sharing your story, as very few people know about HA nor understand it (I frequently hear "you're not thin enough to have that" or "just eat a cheeseburger" or "just take birth control").

Poor thing. I understand this completely! I honestly had to start adding fat in the form of oils - ghee primarily. I know you’re vegan and WFPB at that. I was for a long time too and hadn’t had a period in 7 years and now, I started last month finally. I hope u are okay. Sending good vibes and love. The fiber can kinda kill so eating less 3x/day helped me. Sometimes I do go for 6 or so hours between meals. I will eat when I am hungry but typically no snacks. Anyway, love this video. Makes me feel normal.

@@ksenia.razina I was recommended to add specifically ghee to my diet. It's easiest on the stomach and less reactionary. I couldn't do olive oil and coconut oil for quite some time.

So I lost the weight and lost my period again.

[@baileymoran8585]

I had some medical issues recently that made me lose less than 10 lbs, and that 10 lbs has messed with my whole body, along with some moderate blood loss due to a minor procedure. I have Crohn’s and my GI track has definitely joined the party. Dealing with extreme hunger because your iron is low and your immune system is in a revolt becomes much more challenging when you get sick after 5 bites. Being nauseous and hungry at the same time is awful! One thing I’m trying to do that I plan on continuing is eating a proper breakfast. I have never been a breakfast person. It makes me nauseous. When I was a kid I’d actually throw up from it half the time. I suspect I was having Crohn’s issues even back then because I know a lot of people with GI issues have this happen, if they try to eat first thing in the morning. I used to have to wait a few hrs, but now I’m doing some sort of V8 style fruit and veggie juice or carnation instant breakfast with fruit, and then having either peanut butter toast, oatmeal with peanut butter, or eggs about an hour later with some mint tea. It is annoying having to basically eat two small breakfasts. I would kill to eat one big one and enjoy it like everyone else I know except my husband (he’s a type 1 diabetic and has to do what I do because he will have a glucose spike and drop). But this is better than nothing I guess. I honestly do several small meals throughout the day so my digestive track doesn’t fight me. I will have a sandwich at times when people have snacks, and then eat another one an hour later because it’s not easy to get enough food with Crohn’s, sometimes. I feel like I am always eating but always wishing to eat more.

[@transcendcapitalism]

did you make sure to incorporate processed food too? i don't mean at all to sound as though i'm critiquing, but for anyone reading this, it can be helpful to realize that sticking with 'clean' foods while refueling can be interpreted by our bodies to be another form of restriction, which can prolong the process. processed foods can also be way easier to digest when we're still recovering from gastropesis and extreme bloating and stuff

[@NaturallyKarli]

Again, I appreciate your perspective, but humans have only had man made processed foods for last hundred years (almost). So I find it hard to believe that my body requires artificial food to recover from scarcity.

[@juliaparry-hill7509]

I am glad you were able to recover from this condition without adding animal products. I think a healthy plant-based diet is ideal for human health. But, over exercising and, not consuming enough calories can cause a lot of harm. I hope you continue to heal.

[@NaturallyKarli]

So true!!!! lol The digestion gets a little better each week, but still experiencing difficulties. I have a labral tear where the femur meets my hip socket in both hips ☹️ My family is very slim. I assume my weight will gradually reduce until I'm back to a happy set point. I will keep everyone posted on this! Great questions!

[@Elizerinc]

Sorry to hear about the labral tear in your hips. Is it unusual to have it in both hips? Did you find out from an xray or did you need an mri? What symptoms do you have? Does is come and go? What makes it worse? Curious because I'm having a new issue with my left hip at the moment.@@NaturallyKarli

[@NaturallyKarli]

If you are experiencing any weird locking, pinching, inner groin pain, or decreased range of motion in that hip you may want to speak with a sports medicine doc. I had an MRI. I'm still researching the details of the condition so I better not provide further info in case I'm totally wrong. I would encourage you to google labral hip tear and see if anything sounds familiar to your circumstance. Good luck!

[@Elizerinc]

Thank you Karli@@NaturallyKarli

[@Elizerinc]

Yes, as a long time daily runner, all of the sudden I can't run because it starts to pinch in the front of my hip. I believe I somehow injured it trying spinning for two months. I will try seeing my ortho, but in my experience he just wants to see me if there is something serious he can operate on. What does your labral tear keep you from doing? You seem to be okay on long hikes. If you have been dealing with this for a long time, it sounds like a labral tear is something that doesn't ever get better? That is very discouraging news. @@NaturallyKarli

[@jessicaz.1901]

Why no nut butters, tahini avocado,tofu dates ect? Would be easier to get in calories without stuffing huge volume into & easier for digestion.

[@NaturallyKarli]

Yep, I was happy with my whole foods approach but you are correct 👍

[@enough425]

Do you think you would’ve gotten faster results or less bloating or quicker satiation had you eaten animal proteins? I’m vegan and probably need more calories for similar issues but I’m afraid all the plant food never satiates me

[@luluandmeow]

Are you eating enough healthy starches (grains, potatoes, and this season, yummy chestnuts) and legumes and also some healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds? You can be very satiated on a WFPB way of eating, just eat more or bigger portions.

[@panes840]

Why not buy Gr Gregers books. They will help you enormously. Eat lots of starches, beans, lentils, tofu, seitan, nuts and seeds.

[@NaturallyKarli]

Grains and nuts were particularly satiating while in recovery. But now I'm back to the usual, flaxseed, beans, tubers, squash, and grains for long term satiety. On days I exercise I always include a large helping of oatmeal and sometimes even, an additional meal. I hope you find something that works for you, Anne. As far as the animal foods- I didn't like the idea of creating additional health problems, so I just refrained. They might have caused less bloating but highly refined foods probably would too.

[@NaturallyKarli]

I agree with you, Lulu, as always; )

[@NaturallyKarli]

[@NaturallyKarli]

Thanks, I will!

[@transcendcapitalism]

i'd encourage you to challenge why you want to stop eating 2-3 hours before bed, and why going to bed with food in your stomach bothers you, so that you can truly get free of all restriction, and of its effects on the body

[@NaturallyKarli]

It bothers me bc it causes discomfort and sometimes indigestion. GERD is usually exacerbated by lying down too soon after eating. Not everyone is “restricting” when they decide to eat a particular way that works for them

[@ksenia.razina]

That’s not restriction, that’s just healthy way, healthy regimen. The sleep is better, when you go to bed after as minimum couple of hours after last food. Sleep is important key to right hormonal work )

[@transcendcapitalism]

@@ksenia.razina when you truly feed the body what it’s asking for for long enough it will trust you again and you can heal. that will likely mean that you’re not hungry before bed. If you’re hungry and you’re not feeding yourself exactly what your body is asking for because you’re restricting for any reason, whether it’s due to timing or something else, that’s disordered eating behavior.
