the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
bioimpedance is a mood ring
two sessions a week
if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more
slightly off topic but meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
🧪12🔥1👀8
how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg
👀1
cold food is easier
i front load protein. 40 grams at breakfast because by the evening i cannot face any of it, we shall see
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now
how do you handle a family meal when you can eat a third of whats on the plate
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
genuine question i lost 5 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
eat more please
1.6 per kg
is 1.6 grams per kg the number everyone uses or did we make that up
update from 11 months ago: fixed my protein, the fatigue lifted, and i cannot prove those two are connected
Assay note: SGN lot B-0329 reported at 98.6% of label content.
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number

coming back after 12 months, what did people change about food that stuck
is 600 calories a day a problem if im genuinely not hungry
yes. kindly, but yes
600 is not a diet, its a fast youre doing by accident for weeks
i thought less was better if it isnt hard
thats the trap. the drug removed the difficulty so the guardrail that used to stop you is gone too
how long have you been at 600
about five weeks. hair is coming out a bit which is why i asked
ok. thats the conversation to have with your prescriber this week, not next month
😟14
not because youve done something terrible. because five weeks at 600 is the kind of thing bloods should be looking at
agreed with all of that and stepping in only to say we are not going to diagnose the hair loss in here. bloods, clinician, and come back and tell us
im not upset, i genuinely didnt know it was a problem. thats slightly worse isnt it

its incredibly common. you are the fourth person this month
practical bit. what CAN you get down when you feel nothing
yoghurt. soup. i can drink things
then drink your protein and stop trying to win at plates for now. 3 things you can finish, every day, no negotiation
this is my no-appetite fallback and its not glamorous
| When | What | Protein | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| morning | skyr + berries | 20 g | cold, small, no cooking |
| midday | shake in milk | 30 g | drinkable when chewing feels wrong |
| evening | soup + shredded chicken | 25 g | salt and volume, sits easy |
| anytime | cottage cheese on toast | 15 g | the emergency one |
saving this

and salt. genuinely. if youre eating 600 calories youre also eating almost no sodium
the lightheaded standing-up thing that everyone blames on the drug is often just that
electrolytes are not a supplement conspiracy in this context, theyre replacing what you stopped eating
whats the fibre situation. sorry to barge in, im on week 4 and havent been for four days
four days is the classic. gastric emptying slowed down and your fibre and water went down at the same time
😬8
the three levers most people here pull are fibre, water and movement, in that order. and there are over the counter things but thats a pharmacist chat not a chat chat
kiwi fruit. i cannot explain it and i will not be taking questions
the kiwi lobby is strong in this channel
🥝17😂9
also alcohol. two glasses of wine flattened me last weekend and it never used to
extremely common. slower emptying, much less food in there, and often quite a lot less body to distribute it into
i went from a bottle-of-wine person to a two-glass person and the two glasses hit harder than the bottle used to
coffee is the other one. i had to move to one in the morning, on food, or my stomach let me know

THATS the win. that goes in #wins as far as im concerned
❤️22🔥8
can i ask the weird one. the quiet. is anyone else unsettled by it
everyone. thats a whole conversation in #mental-health and its one of the best ones in the archive
and yes ill book the bloods. thank you for not being horrible about the 600
nobody in here is going to be horrible to you about eating too little. we have all been on one side of that or the other
