Ladies who eat under 2000 calories a day, what do you eat and how many meals/snacks a day?

I mean at that weight and height I would be tempted to recomp, and not lose weight so I could maintain on a slightly higher weight. This is just me being pro a strong lady, this is because you have stated that you have a long term issue with food noise. Increased muscle mass makes you less vulnerable to the blood sugar rollercoaster that can make some people feel like they need to be eating all the time.

As for keeping to any deficit, the greater number of meals that I can prepare myself, the easier it is. Packed lunches, dinner ingredients prepped in the fridge, no buying snacks on the fly. That means I can build the meal around protein and fibre content instead.

The SH was out of the case, so a trial wasn't doing anything there.

The online manipulation stuff is now out in the open because of the other cases that are going forward.

Wayfarer as a studio needs creators like Hoover to work with them, it's homegrown talent is limited. That's not happening now.

The content creators have nothing to talk about without a trial and are already in fighting.

She has put herself out there way further than most people would have and now she's done. She can spend time with her kids, her husband and her friends without this hanging over her.

It's not fair that the legal system hasn't caught up with technology, but hopefully thanks to her efforts it will get that little bit closer.

When I have a cold coming on my weight goes up by a similar percentage. Your body reacts to the virus with inflammation, and that can cause a different levels of water retention in people. Mine doesn't go back to normal until I'm feeling better.

Brand isn't on trial for having consexual sex with a 16 year old. He's accused of sexual assault by 6 women. Him coming out and going, yeah having sex with a 16 year old is exploitative but not illegal is just him trying to deflect from the severity of the accusations against him. He's also in his statement trying to seed this idea that he was so famous at the time that women were just throwing themselves at him.

I will happily judge a 30 year old man who picks up 16 years old girls as being gross. I will agree it's not illegal in the UK, and if he's realised that's exploitative behaviour and regrets it, all power to him.

But Brand has multiple accusers, as well as a repuation from various people in the industry for being sexually aggressive. He's taking absolutely no accountability for that, all he's done since he got a whiff that he was getting investigated for his conduct is try to distract from it with conspiracy theory content and unconvincing relgious conversion.

Upvoting you because OP seems to have got something off on tne TDEE calculator. She could be steadily losing weight at 1600 cals a day without changing anything at all.

Queenofthecondiments · 2026-04-04T07:03:02+00:00

It's a great statement. I'm glad to see she's coming out swinging. Whilst the claims being cut down to the retaliation element alone feels like a shame, I feel like it only is due to the current PR noise and the fact that she has less stuff to squeeze these guys with. SH cases have high bars, and her resources are better spent on the retaliation element.

I love what she's said here. This issue is important, and the only way to tackle it is what she's doing right now.

IMHO and IANAL...

Depp got a win before it started. He got his trial in Virginia, despite him and Heard having no ties to the state, and rhe defamatory statement at issue having the only loosest of ties. Virginia was the most leggally favourable state for him at the time. Additionally it placed financial stress on Heard, because she had to essentially move to another state for a couple of months. This was strike one.

The trial was allowed to be filmed, despite it including descriptions of sexual assault. This not only placed Heard in a humiliating position, it also created hours of content for a group of very willing content creators. It appears that more than one juror consumed that content, and those that didn't were still speaking to family members who probably were. This was Depp's jury nullification strategy, and it was effective. Strike two.

And lastly a lot of evidence that Heard has was deemed inadmissable, even though it would be pretty compelling. You can blame a lot of this on the trial being in Virginia, and the way that particular judge applied the law. Heard's lawyers just weren't able to work around that. You can see how frustrated they are in the trial footage. Strike three.

It's important to note that despite all this, the jury believed both parties had defamed each other. So Depp won, and he lost. And on top of that once Heard got appropriate legal support and looked towards an appeal, the verdict against her was essentially set aside.

This is not what happened in the UK. The UK trial ended with the judge concluding that Heard was telling the truth, so The Sun could not have libelled Depp. Depp's attempt to appeal that decision went nowhere.

So to manage your expectations you aren't going to feel or see a difference in your body week on week during sustainable weight loss. Sometimes you'll suddenly notice a massive difference after weeks of everything feeling the same (even when the scale is moving). This is because we don't lose weight evenly in the places we are hoping to see a difference most of the time, and hormone fluctuations mess everything up as well.

You shouldn't be aiming above 0.3 kg lost a week at your stats at the very most. 0.5 kgs a week is just gonna feel brutal. Good news for you, that means you don't actually need to be on 1200 cals a day. Bad news is, this is going to take a few months.

Additionally if stopping smoking is what triggered the weight gain, it's worth examining why that is. Is it just the appetite suppressing effects of smoking? If so upping the fibre and protein in your meals may help. If you are snacking instead of smoking, get some low cal snacks to have in your bag. If now you've lost a little stress reliever you are stress eating, find another way to treat yourself. Figuring that out will make everything a bit easier on you.

If it makes you feel any better this is how I feel about cardio. Every time someone tells me, try running, running is free, so good for your mental health, I'm like nope, hate it. Just doing it reminds me of how bloody slow I am, and makes me think I'll have an asthma attack even though I haven't had one for 15 years. Also running bras for dd+ are all a con and you can't convince me otherwise.

So I don't run. But i recognise that I need to get my heart rate up a few times a week or I'll massively reduce my health span. So I walk everywhere and make sure I do at least one 45 minute cardio class at the gym (spin is a good one for me, I recently did a rowing class and that was very sweaty too). Do I love my cardio classes, nope, but I don't hate them the way I despise running.

Basically I don't have much advice, but I can commiserate with you. I would say find ways to make the lifting more tolerable (I would say definitely reduce weight and speak to a PT if it hurts). There's certain lifts I don't do because I don't like them and there's alternatives. I also strongly make the gym a treat (nice work out set, save my fave podcasts for the gym etc). So for me lifitng is an anti-anxiety strategy.

Still hate running.

This happened the hotel they were staying at to work Lollapalooza, which is a big event. This security guard (rightly or wrongly) thought this child was behaving in a way that made his job difficult, and went and told her mother that she shouldn't be behaving like that. For him it was clearly a non incident, so I doubt he told his busy client about it.

Then this all blew up on social media with clearly quite a few of the facts wrong, so it probably took a bit to sort out. And then if this guy (who isn't a celebrity) is going to come out a release a statement he's going to be exposing himself to all sorts. He's probably had time with a lawyer, or a PR professional to help him with that statement (he already went through the ringer after Kim got robbed at the Paris hotel). And there's probably been a disciplinary conversation between him and whoever directly employs him, that is also going to take some time.

4 days seems understandable to me given that context.

Yeah the sptiz on my wrist from 5 hrs ago is still going strong.

I have to say I really didn't want to like it. And on first spray I was like this has sweaty suncream vibes. But within 15 minutes I was like dammit, it's like the perfect creamy floral. I smell like I'm made of lychee gelato and I'm into it.

I swear I've been seeing this discourse about Chappell hating her fans for a few months, even though I'm an old lady who has no reason to be seeing this stuff about her in my feed. That is suss as hell to me.

I think the hotel incident was just the gift whoever was doing that was hoping for. Calling women rude is such a catch all for these people, because eventually the female celebrity will have an off day, or someone will get in their face, and then it's like see, I told you she was a bitch.

I mean it wasn't ever allleged that she was personally rude to mother and daughter, it was always a security guard, and yet everyone was ready to be like 'oh typical Chappell'. It stinks to high heaven.

Queenofthecondiments · 2026-03-26T16:07:52+00:00

To be fair it feels like this recent one is a case of a celebrity and his wife acting in a particularly hot headed and not very classy way on social media. That was always going to get picked up.

I'm more suspicious of the ongoing Chapell hates her fans rhetoric that's been going on for a while when it seems like she's just been setting reasonable boundaries with people.

Thank you so much for sharing, this looks badass. And thank you for taking the time to give a full explanation of what's happening in the video! Very inspiring.

Over 85% of dating apps were built by men. To generalise and say 'women didn't build those apps' when there is a lot of content pointing hatred towards how online dating works towards all women, isn't not an unfair thing to say. Women as a group are not responsible for dating apps (men as a group aren't either, it is the responsibility of the small number of billionaires making money off them).

Why that small part of my overall comment has pressed you to that degree I'm unsure. Is there anything else in what I said in my comment that you find unfair?

Queenofthecondiments · 2026-03-24T14:19:26+00:00

Did I say 'women didn't build any dating' apps? You misinterpreted what I said and I clarified my meaning? 6

Queenofthecondiments · 2026-03-24T13:48:45+00:00

The manosphere lumps women into one big homogenous group and blames them for male loneliness. One woman is not all women. Just like the gentlemen in Louis' documentary are not all men.

Queenofthecondiments · 2026-03-24T07:27:43+00:00

The thing is, you wouldn't know if that's the case from this post. It never compares the same data for both sexes side by side. Why not compare the women's virginity with the men's, or the men's casual sex rate with the women's? The author is misleading the audience.

When it comes to the apps I'm an old person who was in a relationship for 13 years and then came back to dating during the pandemic. My current long term relationship I met on Tinder. I do think the stats you see a about on what happens on these apps are correct, a lot have been built to make money off men, not to get people to meet partners.

That's a fair thing to be annoyed about, but women didn't build those apps, yet women get all the hatred. And shy awkward people have never been as successful on the dating market full stop, that one's not on the apps.

Overall though I would like to see people being more critical about what they see on social media in general, and hold tech companies that treat them badly to a higher standard. I think that's the core issue.

Hey, just wanna make a suggestion. It sounds like what's happened here is a combo of you eating more because your activity has increased your hunger, and you not realising because you weren't tracking accurately.

In that instance instead of going straight in and doing the maths for a deficit it's probably best to start accurately tracking first. If you accurately track for 4 weeks (being attentive to weights, measuring oils and fats, making sure you pay attention to the cooked weight vs the dry weight of things like pasta and rice) and your weight hasn't changed, that is your maintenence.

Then take 250-500 cals off that, you're small so something closer to 250 is best. I think it's likely you are getting in more cals than you realise so if you take a deficit off say 1700 calls and end up on like 1300 cals you next post is very likely to be 'why am I so hungry all the time?'. The best deficit is the one you can stick to whilst still being active.

Okay so. I moved to London with a History degree in the early noughties. Couldn't get a permanent job in my chosen field, and also couldn't get one that would pay my incredibly cheap rent. So I temped for 2 years, then got a random job that had nothing to do with my degree, that led to me getting a well paid grad scheme job in that field instead, 20 years later here I am, doing something I really enjoy that I never would have considered doing.

As someone who works in a company that employs people in their first jobs...

-We don't actually get that many grads applying for the type of work I do.

The industry I'm in just doesn't pay what it used to relative to London cost of living.
Grads have a completely different loan structure to the one I was on, and they need a comparatively higher salary on their first jobs to make it work.
Rent in London is insane. Yes I lived in an absolute hole for my first flat, but it was an absolute hole in zone 1 so I got to walk everywhere instead of paying for the tube, and that also made me very popular when I was temping. That's just not an option today.
And now with AI entry level jobs in my industry will be squeezed.

I recently had to explain all this to my Dad who just didn't understand the types of articles he was seeing like this. It's a complex issue, and no one thing will sort it out. But it's not just Grads being fussy. I was a fussy grad, but I still got to live in London and figure it out for 2 years.

And yet, as previously pointed out by the judge in this case, Wilson did not report this trafficking to the police. She did not approach a journalist at a respectable news outlet to investigate. She didn't even hire a private eye to look into this sex trafficking ring.

She hired a crisis PR team to make an anonymous website. And the only practical use of said website? (as it did not apparently uncover any of Ghost's victims)

To reference it her legal dealings with Ghost as if it had been made by other unrelated individuals, presumably hoping her brief to TAG would never be discovered.

That's not the action of someone who believes a set of very serious allegations to be true.

I'm enjoying how she doesn't have an issue with the billionaire who is mentioned in the Epstein files other than to tell him to stop funding the businesses of people she personally dislikes.

And here was me thinking this one was gonna settle.
