Cheeseslave's Weight Loss Diet

cheeseynuts has sum splainin ta do!
mwahahaha

@ Julia – Amen sister!

I think it’s crazy. Clearly a yo-yo in the making. Even if she gets to her weight goals eating so little, staying there forever is unsustainable. Return to eating normally and her weight will go up.

As I understand it, even limiting oneself to 1,500 calories as is often prescribed in the mainstream is unsustainable – and she is limiting herself to half that.

So it’s NOT OKAY for her to cut calories, but it’s OKAY to force feed yourself 3,000 calories when you’re not hungry? Please explain to me that logic. Where shoving down 3,000-5,000 calories when you are NOT hungry is healthy and cutting calories is unhealthy.
Seriously girls do you really want to lose weight? If you do, you will have saggy skin and no boobs, unless your getting plastic surgery. I have seen Cheeseslave’s measurements, and her breast size is moving down. Go Kaleo is a prime example of what extreme dieting can do with female bodies. You attack her for the weight loss, and when she gains 6 lbs you will attack her again.
If I was cheeseslave I would have never said anything.
You guys make people want to jump over a cliff. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

I wanted to add that when she’s all done with her diet, I hope Cheeseslave adds the extra calories back slooooowly, as I’ve heard this can decrease rebound bloating and weight gain.

Slightly but not entirely OT – @Rob, @I am Beth, @Kendahl especially, please please please start a thread on weight loss experiences following the gokaleo approach you’re all talking about (I know it’s on your site Kendahl, and very, very cool too, congrats – but bring it over here please!).
I’m doing the same reading and following the same approach. I’m in a similar place with a similar history. Seems like a few people here have found they get trapped after normalizing metabolism, but stay stuck not able to lose weight, perhaps due to what Amber mentions – inflammation and oestrogen from excess fat tissue. Left stuck suffering with inflammation issues, injuries, adrenal issues, oestrogen excess – (about covers me I think!) and are trying with all their reading to put it together in such a way that this particular vicious cycle can be broken.
I like what Matt says about it being like tanning without getting sunburned – cautiously working within that ‘envelope’ of health and trying to expand it, mindful always of our adrenal and other backlashes! Aiming primarily to feel better, stronger, not 99 – and weight loss would be nice too!
‘Cos I think it’s groundbreaking stuff, pioneering stuff. And these forums could really help us crack it!
And here’s why what I say is not totally OT – we’re feeling our way with this, tons of conflicting confusing info, individual differences in how we respond to stuff, and it would be nice not to have the already murky waters muddied further!

I just don’t get why people have to go from one extreme to another. She could have cut 500 calories from what she was eating before and lose just fine. Probably not that much slower, but sparing more muscle, staying more healthy and with sustainability. It seems like we humans have to be all or none. Slow and steady wins the race and all that.

“An ED person will say she is not hungry. Although experts dispute whether she actually does feel hunger or not, it is clear she feels calmer, energized and dissociated from negative feelings (emotionally blunted) as a result of suppressing her hunger [S. Guisinger, 2003; M. Duclos et al., 2012]. The ED-skewed neurotransmitters are able to override what the leptin levels should be triggering: unpleasant moods and the desire to eat more. ? http://www.youreatopia.com/blog/2011/9/13/phases-of-recovery-from-restricted-eating.html”

I can attest, I was not hungry when I was eating 800-900 cals a day. Fo real. Then I had the gall bladder attack from hell (had had them for years off and on). Went on for days, got jaundice (pee yellow? heck I peed brown, honey!) and then I got a stone in my pancreatic duct and had pancreatitis. That was so fun. Let’s do it again! Haha, nah I’ll eat like a sane person. It is scary though how easily a person could go back to restriction. Even though I’ve not let myself go hungry any length of time since mid March- usually eating over 3,000 calories a day. I still sometimes feel the pull to restrict. If I wasn’t’ tracking, I don’t know that I could do it. I have to see what I’m eating or I start wildly guessing, I’m eating way too much, I’m eating way too little. Nah, I’ve got a map here, says I’m right on course. Ok, I can think about something else and go on about my life.
