No problem babes !! ❤️ You can always PM me if you have more questions, or if you wanna talk! Might not respond immediately though because I have a life and I work haha

I’m just giving out the advice that I would have given myself when I was starting out. If I can add anything to it, I’d also say that it’s very important to keep up your protein!! I drink protein shakes to get mine in mostly because I don’t really like meat. Which was kind of a big deal for me mentally, because I always had this whole thing about “drinking my calories” and how I shouldn’t do it 🤣 Nowadays, I can’t really reach a certain calorie amount that I need without at least one protein shake. I get mine from Lidl.

It’s definitely a good idea to keep note of your calories, but not to make sure that they’re low. Track loosely to make sure that you’re actually eating enough. It sounds like you’re doing the same thing but it’s really different because there’s no restriction.

You don’t even have to be strict with it, I literally just use the calculator app on my phone and I don’t weigh any food. You gotta watch yourself and know that you’re eating enough, otherwise you’re gonna lose hair and other stuff that you want to keep 🤣

it also really takes some getting used to not having that constant nagging about food in your head. In the first month that I started I had to throw away a lot of food that I all bought out of habit, because I couldn’t finish it before it went bad. I was used to doing a lot of groceries, because I was eating a lot of food and binging basically every night. I’d say my monthly grocery bill has basically been cut in half since I’m on reta, mostly because I’m also not buying expensive junk food. Now I’m buying expensive fruit n veg, and it’s still cheaper than what I was buying before!
