Hi All
I'm 25 from Australia 5'3 (fairly short) endomorph.
Without giving you my life story, I lost 32 kg 3 years ago and I went from 85 to 53kg
I was doing - Normal diet, around 1300-1400 cals eating 6 x per day more cals when heavily training, calorie/macro counting, eating healthy mainly raw foods still eating a bit of dairy meat and grains.
I put all the weight back on and got back to 90 kg (omggg...) i'm now back down to 83 as of this morning so have started again and going well.
I haven't felt this motivated since when I first lost the weight (i've been big my whole life).
My question IS! ...
Back when I lost the weight last time I ate around 1350 cals on average a day until i got really small i cut it to 1200 (i started on 1500 when i was really big) that worked well for me.
HOWEVER the last month my appetite really just isn't there, I am only eating when i feel physically hungry I dont eat breakfast anymore and fast sometimes until 12 pm. Or just have a coffee with a dash of milk, sometimes black coffee when i'm fasting.
I have no cravings anymore and no desire to eat bad food or even eat much at all.
My day is generally something like no breaky, coffee with a dash of milk, soup/casserole/veggie based dishes for lunch, a home made protein ball/thing or corn thins with peanut butter or oats with salt as a snack and a smoothie for dinner. (it changes a lot but that's an example)
I am only eating between 850-1100 calories per day, which i don't know why (i know it's like nothing) but i feel good (considering i'm a terrible sleeper and only sleep around 4-6 hours a night) and i don't feel the need to eat more. IS this bad for my body will my body store fat, does anyone have thoughts on intermittent fasting, i personally like doing it but some have told me it's not healthy and will have repercussions.
Would basically love to know if what I am doing is ok, i'm losing on average between 800grams - 1.2 kg per week. I don't want to lose anymore than 1.2 as I want to do this relatively slowly but I used to lose .5 kg p/w and it took me 15 months to drop the 32 kg.
I just kinda wanna really speed things up.
I think because I have worked my ass off before I don't have the patience to wait all over again (I know it will be months of hard work but i want it faster!!! ) but i guess that is why i dont want cheat meals and i dont want to eat all the time i'm just that determined to be back with my healthy fit body!!
Thoughts plleeease anyone!? what worked for you?
I don't eat red meat anymore, but I do eat chicken, fish. Trying to eat more vegan like. I pretty much love all foods.
I do weights twice a week(about 30 mins a sesh), interval cardio (about 30 mins) twice a week and yoga once a week.
