This is about to be me with ozempic 😭

how I eat to feel full

I usually put a very small portion on a small plate, so it looks like it is more than it actually is

then I drink a full glass of water

I start eating in very small bites, so it'll take longer to eat (I recommend no distractions like watching something)

when I'm about halfway done, I drink another glass of water and take a 10min break from eating (usually by watching a YT video or something)

then I eat the rest of the meal (once again without distractions and in small bites)

if you are really hardcore, you can drink another glass of water, but I usually don't because it makes me feel way too full

wait at least 20 minutes before getting seconds, because it takes a while for your brain to process feeling full

I hope this hasn't been said a hundred times before, and I could help someone out 💕

Even if you don't count the calories, they still count.

Alright ed community, listen up!!

♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡

There has been way too much misinformation spread around that I can’t just keep sitting back and watching it. So here goes.

You physically cannot and will not gain any real weight from eating 900 calories a day. Even if you go from eating 100 everyday and you’ve done that for months. Promise. Here’s how you can know that for a fact. (Hint, starvation mode is not what you think)

♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡

BMR/RMR

This is the minimum of how many calories you burn every single day. If you stayed in bed, rock still, for 24 hours straight. It doesn’t count any movement like walking to the bathroom or anything. This is the calories your body burns by breathing, keeping blood flowing through your body, your heart beating, and even blinking. Yes, this happens even when you are sleeping.

Most people have a BMR from 1200-1500 every day. Really. The taller you are and the more you weigh means the higher your BMR is. Even if you were 4’10” (120 cm) and only 80 lbs, your BMR would still be between 1100-1185. I’ve put a link to a calculator you can use here.

TDEE

This is your BMR plus your daily movement. Even if you are super sedentary - work from home, no daily exercise, your TDEE is still a higher number than your BMR! This counts calories from things like walking to the bathroom or kitchen, putting on makeup, watering your plants, walking your dogs, walking in work or school, getting dressed, etc. Most people have a TDEE of around 1400-2500 (yes, really)

This is important. There are two ways you can choose to count your TDEE.

1. Use a calculator like this one and select “sedentary” from the options. Then, if you exercise and burn, say 200 calories, you can add that to your TDEE for the day. But then your TDEE is the same whether you exercise or not - you add daily stuff. I recommend this option if you are crazy about controlling your calories and such like me :)

2. Use a calculator like this one but select your true activity level from light exercise, moderate exercise, heavy exercise, or athlete. Then if you burn, say 200 calories from an exercise, you don’t add that to your TDEE. It already takes it into account.

Starvation mode!

Yes! It does exist! No! You will not gain 15 lbs after eating normal after weeks of restricting.

Starvation mode is where your body starts using less and less calories to do it’s daily activities. This affects your BMR very slightly (can drop 1-3%, 5% in extreme cases) and also your TDEE. It affects your TDEE because you will unconsciously move less throughout the day - whether that means less fidgeting or more naps. This can affect your (sedentary) TDEE to at most, about 75 calories.

For example. Someone has a BMR of 1200 and a sedentary TDEE of 1500. In this example, they lost 3% BMR which leaves 1164 calories (subtracts 36) The TDEE goes from 1500 to 1464 because of the reduced BMR. Then because of less fidgeting and similar things, the TDEE drops to 1400.

Starvation mode happens when you restrict below your BMR. After a while of this (maybe 3 solid weeks) it’ll drop maybe .25%. If that. And then it’ll keep dropping very very slowly until it reaches that 3% number. Technically it could lose 5%, but that would be for someone who eats about 100 calories a day and has done so for like 2 years. Without binges. And guess what!! Lucky you. It’s not permanent! If it takes about 3 weeks to drop that first .25%, it only takes half that time eating above your BMR (not even your TDEE which means you could still be losing weight!) to earn it back.

Even if you are sedentary AND you go into starvation mode, your body still burns calories. Every day. Promise.

Why am I gaining weight then??

Okay, yes. You will gain weight if you’ve been low restricting for a month and then suddenly eat at maintenance for three days. But. It’s not permanent! It’s not fat! It’s water weight. Food weight. It’ll go away. Promise. It might take 1-3 days. Maybe even a week!! But I promise it’s not real and it will leave.

Also, if you have been having very low daily carbs (think under 25 grams) then you have also been in something called ketosis. That means that you’ve lost an extra pound or two *just because* but if you start eating normal carbs again, it might come back. It’s simply water weight, cell weight, and blood weight! Yes, you have less blood flowing through you when you are restricting. So if you gain this pound or so back, it’s really good! It’s not fat!! It’s stuff your body literally needs to keep functioning.

♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡♥︎♡

Okay! There’s my spiel. I promise this is all true and I have like twenty sources, dm me and I will send them all! Or you can really just google things and only go to good, notable websites. Please stay safe, eat enough calories, don’t stress, and take your damn vitamins!!! I love you all and I mean it when I say “stay safe”

ANA MASTER POST

Basic/General Rules

RULES, RULES, RULES. This is important. You need to set rules for yourself, and if you are truly ana, you will have no problem sticking to them because you are STRONG! Rules are everything. Examples: Don’t eat anything white. Do not, under any circumstances, eat after 6:00. Don’t eat before 3:00. Cut each bite into x amount of pieces, chew x amount of times. Do not eat anything that has over 3 grams of fat. Make your own and keep adding to them.

Ana must be the center of your life.

Drink a full glass of water before you eat and then sip a full glass between bites, you’ll get full much faster. Remember it takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full.

Eat denser food because it feels like more. Light and fluffy foods compact in your digestive tract and you will feel hungry soon after.

Take out only the amount of food you plan to eat and don’t allow seconds.

Think before you eat. Don’t eat while distracted (TV, etc). Stop and consider if you really want to eat that then consciously give yourself permission.

100-calorie meals is better than one 400-calorie meal.

Never eat anything bigger than about a cup, your stomach will expand and you’ll get hungry more. If you need to, eat more frequently, not bigger amounts.

Slim-Fast and other “healthy” bars and shakes have more carbs and calories than in the meal they’re intended to replace. Stay away.

Drink at least a glass of water every hour. It’s better for weight loss to sip throughout the day than to chug a full glass (except before eating, in which case it can make you eat less, or make you slightly nauseous so you don’t want to eat at all). Try keeping a water bottle somewhere you’ll see it a lot, like every 10-20 minutes, and take a drink from it every time you see it/notice it.

Drink up to a shot of apple cider vinegar before eating, it’s supposed to minimize fat absorption. Also speeds metabolism and can help curb cravings. Drinking more than a shot causes a vague nausea which helps suppress appetite.

Ice or gum are good food substitutes. Celery works too if you’re really hungry.

Use small, dark colored plates. Dark blue or black makes you eat less, and smaller plates and utensils cause you to take smaller portions from the start.

Make a list of “bad” foods. Periodically, cross one of the list and pledge to never, ever eat it again. Eventually there will be none left.

Eat in front of a mirror, naked or in underwear if possible. If you can’t, carry a picture of yourself in a revealing outfit and look at it when you want to eat. When you have cravings pinch your fat and look at your problem areas, don’t add to them!

Eat a lot of fiber for digestive health and low calories.

Create a methodical routine for eating. Cut food into tiny pieces, count your bites and the number of times you chew, set your utensils down between bites, and sip water between bites. Add other rules or rituals of your own.

Eat higher-calorie items earlier in the day so you have more time to burn them off; if you eat late eat light or it will be more likely to be stored as fat due to inactivity. Try not to eat too late, sleep burns calories and is a good opportunity to burn fat with little effort. The body must burn through all digesting food before taking energy from stored food (fat).

When you go out, take very little money or only enough to buy whatever non-food item you plan on buying. This will make it harder to buy food on impulse.

Don’t take bites, either from others’ food or while cooking, as the calories add up surprisingly fast and you may not realize how much extra you’re taking in.

Write down everything you eat and its calories. This will make you think before eating and also make you more aware of how much food and calories you are actually consuming. You can also write down other things such as how you’re feeling, who you’re with, place, time, and why you chose to eat it, this will help you track patterns in your eating behavior.

Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you want to eat. Food = pain.

Set a time you cannot eat past. 6:00 or 7:00pm are good choices. This is especially helpful if you are prone to night binging. Then make a rule that you cannot eat before 6:00 or 7:00AM, this is like having a 12-hr fast every day.

You shouldn’t eat for at least 3 hours before going to bed. The extra hours will help burn off the calories. If you eat soon before sleeping, you absorb more calories due to inactivity and you put on weight.

Have a peppermint or peppermint tea. Peppermint decreases hunger.

Brush your teeth when you want to eat. The clean feeling and mint aftertaste will put you off food.

Press on your stomach when it grumbles. TUMS also stop stomach growling and have calcium.(5 calories a piece so be careful!)

Carry a list of all the reasons you want to be thin and avoid food. Look at it when you want to eat to remind yourself why you won’t. Or, write a new list every time you want to eat. It’ll distract you, postpone eating, and thinking of the reasons will inspire you.

Cut a ribbon the size you want your waist to be. wrap and tie it around your wrist like a bracelet. Every time you look at it you’ll be reminded of your goals. When you’re tempted, take it off and wrap it around your waist. See how close you are, or how far you have to go, and resist the temptation.

Always leave at least one bite of food on your plate. This will help you to be able to stop eating and prevent binges. It will also stop you from compulsively finishing portions even when you have eaten enough.

Save $1 for every meal you don’t eat, then use the money to buy yourself a non-food present.

Friends will only get in the way. Avoid them until you reach your goals.

Never eat in secret. This is a terrible habit that leads to compulsive binging. If you wouldn’t eat it in front of all your friends you shouldn’t be eating it at all! Also if you only eat around other people they will know that you do eat and assume you eat alone as well, thus lessening suspicion that you have an ED.

Never eat out of a box or jar. Always eat from a plate or bowl. This will help you in several ways: You will see how much you are really eating; you can determine in advance how much you will eat and not go back for seconds; using a small plate or bowl will make you eat even less; you can count/measure out an exact serving and know the accurate amount of calories you are consuming.

Give clothes to Goodwill as they get too big for you. Don’t keep them around “just in case.”

If you live alone, put thinspo and/or reverse thinspo pictures on the pantry and refrigerator. A mirror works well too.

When you have hunger pangs, picture your stomach eating away your fat, and that what you feel is the feeling of thinness and your fat burning away.

Coffee is an appetite suppressant. Drink it black or with Splenda or other no-calorie sweetener.

Count your bites, and the number of times you chew them. Plan in advance how many bites you can have. Then make them smaller or use smaller utensils.

Paint your nails so you can’t eat until the polish dries. Teeth whitening strips are good too.

Drink water before eating. If you’re still hungry, drink green tea or broth. If you still need to eat, you’ll eat less than you would have.

Eat low-calorie foods with strong flavors. Sometimes you’re craving taste, not food. For bouillon, use less water than is recommended. Peppermints, pickles, peppers, and mustard are good choices.

Do not eat anything unless you know the exact amount of calories in it.

Chew gum while cooking. That way you can’t take bites while it is cooking, and you won’t want to eat it once it’s done.

Keep food out of sight, not sitting out, and stay away from food and the kitchen to keep your mind off it.

Keep a pocket thinspo in your wallet with your cash so you won’t spend money on food.

For sweet cravings, lick a chopstick and dip it into a diet Swiss Miss pack.

Write your current weight on one hand, and your goal weight on the other. When you go to eat, you’ll be reminded how fat you are, and how skinny you could be.

The Four D’s:

Distance yourself from food.

Distract yourself.

Delay eating

Decide what your goals really are.

Green tea raises metabolism and is very good for the skin and overall health. Drink it in the morning to increase metabolism for the day. Add lemon to make it more effective and to add a detoxifying aspect.

Hot water with lemon is another good morning drink.

Spicy foods raise metabolism, if you don’t like them you can take cayenne pepper capsules available in supplement section of drugstores or health food stores.

Drinking apple cider vinegar is said to raise metabolism, have a few tablespoons, can also be mixed in water (with lemon would be best) or used as salad dressing.

Start the morning with stretching to wake up your muscles, the morning is also the best time to exercise because your body will use stored food (fat) as fuel instead of food you ate. It also processes food better throughout the day and gives you more energy if you exercise in the morning.

Get at least 6 hours of sleep each night, less than this can decrease metabolism by 10% and increase appetite by 15%. You look better and feel better when you have more sleep also if you’re sleeping then you’re not eating!

Keep good posture, it burns 10% more calories throughout the day. You also look better.

Vitamin B6 and B12 raise metabolism and give you energy.

Eating protein increases your metabolic rate by 14%.

Rules to prevent it from going too far

🌹Don’t lower your goal weight. Ever. Don’t forget that it’s enough.

🥀 When your stomach passes the flat point and starts caving in you’ve gone to far and you need to stop that shit.

🌷If you’re passing out at work you need to eat more.

🌺 If it’s too hard to lift normal things such as milk jug, PlayStation, table chairs, you need more calories.

🌸 Don’t work out every day of the week.

🏵️ When you find yourself saying “fuck this” and eating everything in your house, you’re restricting too hard.

🌻 Always drink lots of water throughout the day whether or not you’re fasting.

🌼 Keep in mind that you may gain and loose the same 3 lbs of water or food weight throughout the week and it’s not fat.

💮 If you really feel the need to eat, eat. And don’t feel bad about it.
