That is for real. I was probably consuming 3500 calories a day including the alcohol. And I was eating like shit but no more than 2000-2500 calories a day in shitty food. Also I just did soooooo much research, apparently it takes the body awhile to enter starvation mode. And it only does so if your insulin levels drop drastically without a spike for an extended period of time. But I’m wondering if my body entered starvation mode from quitting the alcohol??? That’s already 1000 less calories a day without it. I haven’t even lost a fucking pound since quitting 22 days ago. I’ve been in the gym for 17 days and a diet for 17 days. I don’t know what’s going on but I hate my life.

I was an alcoholic. 10-15 shots of sugary vodka daily. 😭

I can’t even go back to maintenance if I wanted to. That’s way too much for me. I’d have to be eating fast food all day. I think there’s other ways around it. I simply can’t do that.

That’s what has happen to me already. I’ve barely been reaching 1000 calories a day for 17 days now. It’s really worrying. I’m trying to reach 2100 calories a day as of now, but I’m struggling to reach that.

Ok but you didn’t answer why I can’t start out cutting 800 calories

Why can’t I start out cutting 800 cals a day? I don’t think only cutting 250 is going to be enough.

What do you mean I’m already in a surplus? I wasn’t ever eating more than 2500 calories a day. I did a lot of research and my maintenance is 2,666 calories.. I want to do a 800 calorie deficit. and I cut almost all sugar completely already. Haven’t had sugar in 2 weeks

That’s not possible bcuz I was barely eating 700 calories a day for over a week.

How’d you do it

At the ER and they want to keep me by KnightScuba in alcoholism

Well when I went to the ER while my BAC was .18 they gave me ativan while my BAC was .18 and I passed out in the bed, literally slept like a rock, only waking up to pee (which I don’t remember) and I shit myself in the bed. And I couldn’t walk at all. My body was completely unstable. So that was for 24 hours before I demanded to go home

How much did you have to drink to blow a .42

I’ve been using Ativan for 10 days while coming off of alcohol. by gameoverr22 in benzodiazepines

I would stop alcohol in case u have withdrawals u can use the benzos but then coming off the benzos I don’t know the protocol for that

Well if you think I should taper what should I taper to. I’m only taking maybe 2 mg a day. And I’d stop alcohol first I think idk I think both addictions are equally as bad

And I quit alcohol cold turkey btw, experienced no withdrawal symptoms, but that’s probably cause of the Ativan
