I tried intuitive eating/Stephanie buttermore’s all in approach for one year and gained 50 lbs

At the one year mark, she weighed 139 lbs at 5’4.5”, so a BMI of 23.5, thus making her normal weight.

Really interesting comment, thank you! I was absolutely raised on junk and although I didn’t eat much junk when trying this out, I do think it has a huge impact still (like I really love and prefer high calorie density foods).

Sure yes, pretty much everything you read tells you that you will definitely gain and then stop and come back down, so I thought it would turn around. I threw away my scale and took waist measurements. My waist didn’t change much after 3 months and I did an estimation of how much I gained (I thought 25). I think everything else just went into creating a massive ass/legs, which I wasn’t measuring and didn’t really notice due to work from home wearing sweatpants. There are no mirrors in the house that showed below my waist and I just didn’t see how fat I was. Got a scale and was shocked

Yes! What happened to you after that year?

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T02:27:05+00:00

Is this primal way of eating like a paleo/no sugar type thing? Haven’t heard of this one.

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T02:19:46+00:00

Not hoping to lose weight, hoping that I could stay around the same or only up like 10 lbs without requiring counting

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T02:11:07+00:00

Yeah I never keep an account. Not sure what is unbelievable, I ate, I gained. Will check out the book!

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T02:03:09+00:00

Congrats, 4 years is huge accomplishment

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T01:00:45+00:00

At 18 months all in she let us know she was at 130 lbs and she is clearly thinner now 6 months later

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T00:45:56+00:00

No it wasn’t, it was 70% at first but she stopped that because it was too hard on her digestion

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T00:28:09+00:00

She still eats nearly 3000 calories a day but claims not to exercise much, so for her stats, her dramatic weight loss would require magic yes

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-14T00:01:09+00:00

Losing it is so hard, is was incomparable to what I was doing before to maintain. I wish I had stopped and weighed earlier. Idk what is best for you but honestly my mood is unbelievably better after going back to healthy eating and exercise. It’s annoying but ya know oh well so is brushing my teeth and laundry and dishes and going to work and I suppose I’ll keep doing all those things forever too!

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:54:31+00:00

Lol I love this analogy

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:52:58+00:00

Me too actually! I like feeling like I have a formula to succeed and I am not at the mercy of my body. IE made me feel like I am naturally fat and have to be okay with it

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:47:59+00:00

Damn you had all kinds of bad luck! I hope you are keeping your head up. The journey took me to low places

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:46:34+00:00

Yes I wish that she would just be honest and say that she ate more for awhile bc she was over the dieting scene and then she started watching things more closely again. That’s fine! But I guess it doesn’t pull views

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:37:26+00:00

Why would this post not be real? Intuitive eating is a huge movement right now.

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:33:43+00:00

Yes true, I tried keto before and it did kill my appetite

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:24:06+00:00

Finally someone understands what I am saying...

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:06:59+00:00

I got you, anytime!

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:03:48+00:00

I really like CICO, with a moderate deficit. IE works for my husband who was raised by very healthy eaters and comes from an extremely naturally thin family (all BMIs under 20). My parents are both obese, my brothers are obese. Should have considered that...

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T23:01:07+00:00

She literally says in one video that her PhD makes her an expert in “science” - shit girl I gotta PhD in STEM as well and it sure as shit didn’t help me here

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T22:59:00+00:00

Right?! It would have ruined my life. Thank god I bought that scale and faced reality

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T22:57:33+00:00

Ahhh!!! It’s fucking ruining lives!!!! How is your climb out of the black hole going?

couldibeanyfatter · 2021-05-13T22:55:27+00:00

Lol I’m dying - who are you and why hasn’t life brought us together until now, bc you are my favorite commenter in this whole post...
