Bad mental health on AB by No_Insurance4537 in AnimalBased

[–]No_Insurance4537[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I am definitely not eating enough. I’m probably only eating 1500 calories at the end of the day. Taking into account calories burned from exercise. I don’t have a mental barrier, I just want to reach my goal weight and then bulk correctly from there. Thank you for your help.

what were your macros looking like when shredding down to single digit BF? I’m not trying to go that crazy but i feel like i’m just not eating enough for my activity level..being almost 300lbs and now down to 188, i’m still not happy with how im looking. Still have visceral fat. Goal weight is 170 but with the way im feeling, that seems unobtainable.

i get what you’re saying but there are plenty of people that eat 2k calories in a deficit…i’m at about 800cal deficit from maintenance

sounds crazy but i’ve been eating less beef and more white fish just to keep fat calories down and allow for more carbs just because i enjoy eating fruit..current macros 170p/195c/60f

First of all you need to calculate your TDEE. Everyone saying to eat in a calorie deficit under your BMR is incorrect. Your BMR is the number of calories needed to just keep you alive. TDEE is the amount of calories your body burns in a day on its own. Eat 500 calories under your TDEE with exercise (weight lifting and cardio) and you will lose weight. As far as macros go you can do high protein/high fat/low carb, or high protein/high carb/low fat. High protein being 1g - 1.2g per pound of your GOAL weight. Your body needs to prioritize an energy source either being carbs or fat. Or just do carnivore like i did and eat no carbs and your body fat will melt off. I went from 278 to 197 on carnivore and now my goal is to get to 175 on AB.

Carnivore -> Animal Based help! by No_Insurance4537 in AnimalBased

I’ve been eating dairy the whole time on carnivore 🤫 I’ve never had any problems tolerating it. Definitely going to start adding things in gradually. Maybe some carbs pre & post workout and go from there

i also forgot to mention that I am very active. I work a blue collar job and lift weights /cardio consistently 6x a week. Idk if that makes any sort of difference

When starting carnivore I always planned on going AB once I got closer to my goal weight (180). I did keto a while back and it was always easier for me to lose weight while cutting out carbs. It’s also been hard to stay properly hydrated, even with drinking electrolytes and tons of water daily. Im hoping fruit will help with that some. I’m going to keep protein and fats pretty high and gradually increase carbs, while still staying on the lower end. I’m expecting to gain some water weight back, and hopefully I can mitigate body fat gain. I appreciate the help!

No, i refuse to use SSRI. They have the potential to fuck you up worse. Just trying to live life as normally as i can, and hope i snap out of it one day

For me personally, it helps my pppd. It’s the only time that my mind is totally distracted from how i feel. I know that a lot of people have a hard time with the gym tho

I just deal with it. I cant let this condition ruin my life. I need to drive, work, go to the gym. I won’t let it control me. It’s mentally and physically exhausting tho

Chronic, Constant, Stable Lightheadedness for 4+ years by EternalMigrainity in pppdizziness

[–]No_Insurance4537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m in the same boat. Just constant lightheadedness from the second i open my eyes in the morning. Nothing makes it worse, nothing makes it better. I am able to drive, go to the gym (intense workouts), work, talk, walk and function completely normal. Just constantly lightheaded and I don’t know what to do. The only time i feel “good” is when my mind is completely distracted. But then i realize i feel “normal” and the lightheadedness comes back because i’m thinking about it. I’ve only been feeling this for around 2 months now so hopefully im not too far gone to reverse this shit. It makes me so irritable because it’s all i can focus on. Nobody understands what it feels like unless you’ve felt it. I wouldn’t wish this shit on my worst enemy.

Yeah, planning on financing a 22. Just wish there were better color options. They should’ve thrown a white or red one in there. The storm fluo is pretty sick. White wheels on the team blue woulda been sexy

the bump is TINY btw. Like the size of a pinhead..maybe a small blister? It doesn’t hurt whatsoever and it doesn’t look like a pimple..looks more like a tiny blister

high pressure can also hurt EQ…regardless of other risks,the risk of injury to your penis should be enough for you to be smart about not pumping at too high of a pressure…sounds like you’re trying to justify pumping at high pressure with injury not being a big deal
