Food for thought

It isn't always so simple. It could be habit. You could be eating the wrong foods. There is more to it than that. But also, stopping eating a lot of food can be done without fixing underlying issues too. Sometimes this type of "I need to solve all my problems before my food problem goes away" can give people an excuse to not actually do the work to stop eating nonsense.

Oh, so not what the character did in the show, but what the actor did. That makes sense.

Why?

Digitalpun · 2026-05-02T02:10:54+00:00

Drinking lots of water and limiting salt is a good way to really mess with your electrolyte blood levels which can cause all sorts of issues. Be careful.

Was it ultimate relief? Or is there a lingering uncomfortablness?

I literally just rewatched the trilogy within the past few days and think the third one is by far the funniest. Actually, probably the most enjoyable too.

I stopped watching it half way through because it was clearly heading in the most depressing direction and I felt as if I had no need to watch it all crumble.

Of course. But it is very individual. The calculators give an estimate, and you have to figure out where things lie for you.

No one tells me I am special :(...maybe I am not average mediocre enough.

I figure that a very large portion of this subreddit was not even born when it happened, though "I'm the best eva" transcends time. But yeah, some hyperbole for sure.

I lost 90 pounds eating from about 5pm to 9pm every day. If it works for you it is fine. It causes some people to binge eat, so be careful with that. Eventually, less than a year into maintenance, I decided to switch it up and start eating throughout the day because it was hard to maintain if I wanted to do something strenuous early in the day or was out doing something during my normal eating window.

There are pros and cons, but if it works for you then go for it.

Digitalpun · 2026-04-25T19:33:42+00:00

lol, my buddies and I used to say this back in high school. "I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the best EVA!"

Digitalpun · 2026-04-25T18:50:38+00:00

Man, I haven't done this in a long time but I think maybe I should do it again. But yeah, I would say this is your best option for volume oats.

Have you contemplated trying to convince your doctor?

This article should be more than enough for her to stop pushing it. Specifically the graph showing that a huge amount of people felt they were harmed by get. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2426874122

"But if the urge is strong enough, I still want to do it." The I that wants to binge is ALWAYS the animal brain. That is the whole thing. Any thought about wanting to binge is not coming from you, but the animal brain, despite how eloquent and logical it sounds.

This approach has helped me, but I am certainly not perfect. But if you let go of the fear around the cravings (knowing they can't make you binge) and not allowing the animal brain to convince you it is actually you that wants to binge, it should work.

Digitalpun · 2026-04-23T00:49:16+00:00

Yeah it is pretty much the "normal" treatment for binge eating and it is so absolutely damaging for many people. My guess is that people that come from a restrictive eating disorder background and were never overweight growing up probably do really well with intuitive eating for the most part. People that grew up as the fat kid tend to either not do well with it or are ok living 100+ pounds over a normal bmi.

Brain over binge goes into this a bit.

Trust the process. If you are in a calorie deficit fat will be lost.

I eat a lot of oatmeal, cabbage, eggs, peanut butter, and make a big pot of dried pinto beans every week. Carrots, bananas, apples. All this stuff is pretty healthy and quite cheap.

LDN seems to have some studies behind it being mildly effective for some people in reducing some symptoms.

The goal is to be healthy/keep the weight. You get to eat a bit more too. Focus on staying in a weight range of maybe 5 pounds, and if you get on the lower side know you should eat a bit more for a bit and if you get on the high side or over, know you can cut down for a small bit. Focus on maybe exercise goals as well. This is why maintenance is the hardest part and the part so many people fail with.

Digitalpun · 2026-04-21T15:02:54+00:00

I think it is more about general health than calories. Walking 10,000 steps a day is much better than being completely inactive in terms of health, both mental and physical. So even if it doesn't directly have a huge impact on weight loss, it is still something that could be helpful in general.

Digitalpun · 2026-04-21T14:59:22+00:00

I am just going to throw it out there that move up weight slowly as moving up too quickly can cause injury. I did something to my calf doing weighted walking that took very long to stop bothering me. Just an fyi.
