sometimes I believe that My tendency to avoid telling My family when I'm having health issues is just the result of avoidant cognitive distortions, but then I actually do it, get told that it's "normal" and/or a lifestyle issue, and realize the real cognitive distortion was expecting help at all -_-

This is what I've been doing for the past month! Of course I've been fasting too! I ate like this Mon-Thurs and then try to fast Fri-Sat-Sun, and if I wasn't able to fast I ate the smallest low cal non fat thing I could. This was not recommended by any doctor or physician, I am no nutritionist and I do not encourage what I'm doing.

1. Breakfast at 6.15 am: I drink a blueberry banana smoothie everyday, which is: 1/2 cup of blueberries(40cal) + 1/2 of a banana(52.5cal) + water(0cal). I add a spoon of collagen powder which is 40cal more just because I want to repair my skin, nails, etc.

2.Lunch at 2:40pm: Protein is key! Fish, meat and poultry should be there in your plate.(200-300cal)  No white rice, fried potatoes, etc, etc. The only sides I have are boiled sweet potatoes (1/2 sweet potato=68cal) and lettuce salad(8cal) with 1/4 of an avocado(80.5cal) and/or 1/2 tomato(22cal) with lemon and salt dressing.

3.Dinner: I usually skip dinner, because where I live its served around 7-8pm and its a small meal so I just remove the unnecessary calories from my diet. However, if I decide to have dinner I usually go for a 2 egg omelette (130cal) + a slice of edamame cheese (101cal) and i consume this before 7pm.

4. Water intake: Its usually between 1.2L and 3L a day! plus several cups of green tea, chamomile tea and mint tea with lemon and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

5.Excercise: I always try to take the stairs and get some of those 10k steps, but I do a 3h workout one day a week and I have divided it into three parts. When I'’ finished I take a cold shower so it burns brown fat.

a) Cardio: I start with the treadmill at its highest inclination and at a speed of 5.5-7 (45min), then the elliptical machine at the glutes setting (35 min), finally the Total Body Arch Trainer (30min), rest for two minutes between machines.

b) Machines: I bench press at 60lb (30x3rps), then the ab thingy (20x3rps), triceps (30x2rps), hip abductor (20x4rps), deltoids (25x3rps). It takes me about 40 to 45 minutes to finish with the machines.

c) core: I do squats with an 8kg kettle bell (20x3rp), russian twists with a 5kg circular thingy (25per sidex3rp), leg lifts (20 per sidex3rp), donkey kicks (20 per legx3rps), 1 min plank, double leg lift (20x3rp), and 1 min mountain climbers. Takes me around 30 minutes.

Finally, I would like to say that this is what worked for me and, again I am not a doctor or a weight loss specialist. I count every calorie I eat and do not wish it upon anyone stay safe and hydrated loves x.
