I hate being fat. But I also love food. The moment I hit my gw I’ll just eat at maintenance. Or at least that’s what I tell myself

No, not all calories are equal.

Here is my official post on why calories are not equal!

The body processes all calories differently. If you’ve taken any basic prerequisite biology course:

Protein catalyzes reactions (ie. METABOLISM!)

Carbohydrates store energy (but extra gets stored as fat)

and fat is long term energy stored away.

Now, that isn’t to say you should protein load either because any extra protein that doesn’t have anywhere to go GETS TURNED INTO FAT!

As an orthorexic I’ve religiously cut out protein and carbs and I live on a relatively high fat diet. (Most of my calories come from fats) and this is only beneficial for those who fast often because they just use the fat and protein for energy.

Anyways, this post is not to disrespect any Ana’s or other restrictive Ed’s who prefer to restrict to their favorite foods, but to inform everyone about how they could use their intake better!!

A study funded by the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF) from the 1960s found that cholesterol and fat were the main contributors to weight gain. Therefore they switched out fat with sugar. The JAMA review from September found that the doctors involved with the study were in fact paid by the SRF. Their research was tainted due to conflict of interest.

So here is the deal with carbs:

It is true that fat has more calories than carbohydrates, including sugar. But by that logic, a sugary beverage is better for you than a handful of nuts. Looking only at calories ignores the metabolic effects of each calorie; the source of the calorie changes how you digest it and how you retrieve energy from it, which was what I simplified earlier.

Carbohydrates have been categorized as simple or complex in the past, but nowadays are simply placed on terms of high glycemic index and low glycemic index. For example, an apple is a simple carbohydrate because it is digested quickly by the body, but fruit is better for you than other simple carbohydrates like chips or crackers.

When something has a low glycemic index, it raises your blood sugar levels slowly, increasing your insulin levels gradually because they are protected by a nice layer of fiber.

That’s good, because too many insulin spikes result in insulin resistance, where your body stops responding to insulin it is producing (also known as type 2 diabetes) High-glycemic foods, on the other hand, cause blood sugar levels and thus insulin to rise quickly, prompting the overproduction of insulin and fat storage. These foods are often sweets, baked goods like croissants, and scones.

By choosing the low-glycemic foods and thus the minimally processed foods, people can lose more weight, feel fuller longer, and remain healthier.

Following the topic of carbs.. FAT!

(Harvard University) Dr. Ludwig says, “It was this calorie-focus that got us into trouble with the low-fat diet in the first place.”

using the logic establish earlier, don’t be afraid to go back to fat. Just make sure it’s the healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts. Don’t cut out the fat, and don’t make a habit of eating products labeled “fat free.”

(this summary was short because they follow the same deal with carbs in most cases: in moderation, it is good. Not to much. Not any bad. Everything should be good.)

So let’s understand proteins.

In your basic biology course, you should have learned:

Proteins are composed of amino acids and are the building blocks of cells, tissues, and organs in the body. They play a crucial role in various physiological functions, including growth, repair, and maintenance. Unlike carbohydrates and fats, protein contains nitrogen, which is necessary for the synthesis of new proteins in the body. (summary per macrosinc)

Additionally, protein is what is known as an essential macro. Unlike carbs and fats, the body cannot pull from reserves to use their functions because the body doesn’t make them on their own.

There are 9 essential amino acids, meaning the body cannot make those 9 by itself and must consume them in the diet. There are 20 in total, but here are the..

The 9 essential amino acids:

Leucine

Isoleucine

Valine

Lysine

Tryptophan

Threonine

Methionine

Phenylalanine

Histidine

you’ll need all 9 to maximize muscle retention or muscle growth. This is why animal protein sources are generally superior to plant sources. Most plant sources are incomplete meaning they lack at least 1 or more of these essential amino acids with some exceptions like soy. 

Consuming enough protein is important not only for weight loss but it is also critical for overall health. here are some reasons why protein is good for us:

Optimal health and bone density.

Improves sleep quality: 

A high thermic effect of food meaning you’ll burn extra calories from digestion.

Proper Satiation as you’ll need a baseline of protein to be full. In addition, protein is generally more filling than carbs/fat especially in people who undereat protein.

Optimal muscle retention/building based on energy balance. (Per macrosinc)

When it comes to weight loss, protein often takes a backseat to its reputation as a muscle-building nutrient. those with restrictive Ed’s may avoid this macro, but I’m here to tell you to not demonize them!

Obviously you consume fewer calories than you burn, creating a caloric deficit. Consuming protein sends an anabolic signal to your body, encouraging it to prioritize muscle preservation even during calorie deficits. Not only that, digesting protein requires more energy compared to digesting carbohydrates and fats. So, not only does protein help you build and maintain muscle, but it also gives your metabolism a little boost.

Here are a list of recommended protein sources that are high in protein while being low in calories:

Not so hot take: Fatspo is so embarrassing. If you genuinely believe calling some stranger fat on the internet will magically make you skinnier.........I don't even know bro. Hopes lost.

THATS GOOD!!!! LOL, NY IS IN A KINDA DROUT?ISH RN SO SOME RAIN WOULD BE NICE LOL XD

I'm 14, it's 7 pm on a Monday and my sister is eating crisps left over from the food I bought for her earlier and I'm watching my comfort movie. My parents are on their second bowl of dinner watching netflix. I go out for a walk and wander around aimlessly by myself. I have a girlfriend. I talk to people in class and pass notes. My homework is never done but there's no rush because I have tomorrow. I have TV Girl stuck in my head and my makeup is rubbing off. I just bought a new mascara. It's dark out, but this is november in the UK - there are christmas lights everywhere. I think lately it feels alright.

Real, like a part of me thinks if i somehow lose enough, i wont just be seen as a pair of tits to get off to anymore

"Loosing weight so he/she will touch me 💖"

😶 Me doing it so they'll stop touching me, so that whatever part of me they touched goes away with fat and never comes back, so that when i look in the mirror the body i see is one that hasnt been stained by them
