I’m sure there’s some reasonable explanation for it but I don’t understand how counting cals, never being full, headaches and feeling weak all day every day have kept me at the exact same fucking weight for this long it’s actually making me wanna kms hello

i wonder if you need a metab reset? or have you just started exercising or something?

0calcranvodka.bsky.social•102 days ago

I really have no idea because I KNOW I’ve been in a deficit, I make all my own food super meticulously and fast regularly. I’ve started exercising a bit more recently but that’s like the only big change. I really really don’t want to do a metab reset but maybe I need to look into that or something 😭

If you're concerned, it may be worth getting your hormones tested. Could also try tracking your blood sugar. (It isn't always a diabetes thing, there's other reasons why it might not be normal.) A deficit should work in normal circumstances

As someone who's been in the same spot, either way, changing how you exercise and eat might help. What I do is: alternate between cardio days and other exercise days, strength training is good for fat loss, and have a metabolism Day once a week. Sometimes even more steps help

IF blood sugar is what's doing it: eat veggies before any meal/at the start. Then move on to proteins, then the carb heavy or sweet stuff. In that order for any meal or snack, always start with even lettuce, any kind of veggie. Berberine is a good vitamin to balance things esp for this.

They sell blood sugar trackers at pharmacies just about anyone can buy them.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll totally look into that xx. I’ve never heard you can buy blood sugar trackers at pharmacies, I guess in retrospect that should be obvious tho ahaha

Idk it wasn't obvious to me until I saw it myself lmfao.
