She won't stop with this retarded shit. She's borderline starving herself. She is a bit overweight, but she isn't fat or unattractive as a result. I'm totally cool with her doing something to make herself more happy with her body, but this is ridiculous and I'm getting really concerned. She says she's doing keto, and even though I think keto is dumb I didn't say anything. However, she isn't even eating enough to be on that diet. She doesn't even eat meals some days.
She won't listen to me about this. I heard her talking to her mom about it and her mom fucking encouraged it. I almost lost my shit after that. I really do love her and this is seriously stressing me out. What do.
keto is pretty good, not for all tho. fasting is quite beneficial for your body, check out ketones
let the girl try shit out, it is her body after all and being overweight is a nono. you afraid of losing her after she becomes fit or what?
Gabriel Lewis
I misspoke. She doesn't eat meals most days. She fucking picks the toppings off pizza and doesn't eat till she goes numb. She eats the absolute bare minimum to survive.
Leo Taylor
She doesn't exercise either. Which is what I'm trying to encourage her to do instead. >you afraid of losing her after she becomes fit or what? I have encouraged her to get to the gym with me. So no, asshole.

exercise is a meme pushed by neo-puritans who just want "sinners" (in their worldview) to suffer. the amount of calories burned by vigorous exercise vs just sitting around reading a book is laughable. if you really want to help her body to burn the calories, just turn the thermostat down a few degrees.
Luis Martin
what are you talking about
Kayden Myers
She's doing everything fine. Diet is 90% in weight loss, exercise is 10%. Keto doesn't make you sluggish and intermittent fasting helps to induce ketosis. t. someone who lost 40+lbs doing same shit.

Good. Losing weight is a good thing and fasting is one of the quickest, most natural ways to do it. >she doesn’t eat meals most days. She doesn’t eat till she goes numb That’s a good thing user. If you’re stomach goes numb, that means it’s starting to burn away solely the excess calories. >she eats absolutely the bare minimum to survive I doubt that user. You said your girlfriend was overweight, so even if she decided to go full starvation mode, she’d have to avoid eating for over a month to die. >she doesn’t exercise either If her goal is to lose weight through fasting, then exercise will only make the cravings worse.
Your girlfriend is fine user. She’s just losing weight through fasting. Now if she continues to fast for days on end, even after she’s lost her excess weight, is when you should get concerned (though I doubt it will come to that).

her limbs go numb not her stomach

He's telling you that you can eat a pizza and you'll need a whole day of manual labor to burn the calories. And we are talking 8 hours of digging the yard or sum shit like that OR you could just spend the day reading a book and not eating the pizza. At the end of the day you would have the same results. Read sticky it will explain why these diets exists.
Christopher Stewart
Keto and intermittent fasting is very healthy. Idk if she's doing it right, picking toppings off pizza is pretty retarded and lazy she should just tick to meat and vegetables and eat once a day. And exercise is always beneficial, even for just mental things.

the base matabolic rate for a female is around 2500kcal/day, just over 100kcal/hr. that's just sitting around reading a book. exercise on an elliptical trainer burns about 350kcal/hour, simple walking about 300kcal/hr, swimming laps burns about 400 kcal/hr. while these are substantisl increases over the base burn rate, you cant keep them up long enough to make much of a difference, not if you have an actual life. you're juch better off lowering the thermostat at home, increasing her BMR that way by forcing her body to burn more energy to keep warm - because that effect is easy to keep up for many hours a day, and doesnt interfere with life.

>exercise is a meme pushed by neo-puritans who just want "sinners" (in their worldview) to suffer. The absolute state of hedonists and their "puritan" meme. It's called muscle mass, cunt.

Alright. I don't think I explained the crux of my issue with all this well enough. None of this is controlled. She's not following a dietary plan of any sort. I said I didn't even consider this a diet because she just doesn't eat until her legs go numb or it hurts, and then she eats some small snack item (ie, chocolate, toppings off a pizza, or some other item that doesn't even constitute food.) It's making her sleepy all the time, and it's making her irritable, and it's not as if she just started the diet. This type of thing isn't new either. She started refusing to drink water a while back before we started going out and were friends, and I spent time convincing her to cut that shit. She has these weird self destructive tendencies and it scares me as other than that she's honestly the best girl I've ever gone out with. I can't be in a situation where the potential mother of my kids acts like this though.

I meant to add this to my initial comment but forgot. Take your fucking meds.

You need to strike a balance here with your understanding of her diet and what's working for her or not. First off, I have a gut feeling you're one of those people who gets all worried about "muh nutrients" and doesn't understand how resilient the body really is. I know lots of overweight people who are like "you need to eat these food items or you're gonna DIE" and therefore are only ever able to consume a deficit of like 100-200 calories at best. If your girl wants to lose weight, that ain't gonna cut it, just like "exercise" isn't gonna be enough for an overweight person to lose lbs.
Frankly, it sounds like you're not really helping her. You mention pizza toppings... who exactly is ordering the pizzas? Is it you? She obviously shouldn't be eating chocolate on "keto" either. If you want her to eat healthier things and let her meet her diet goals, help her out by bringing around foods that she can actually eat on a low calorie level instead of wafting a pizza under her nose and wondering what's wrong. Get her a multivitamin and some other supplements as a gift if worried about her nutrients.
I'm on a diet myself, down nearly 15 lbs in two weeks, eating 1,000 calories a day, but I get my calories from lean meats, leafy greens, raw veggies as a snack, and take a regimen of vitamins. I also still exercise. But it's all about putting the right foods in front of you.
tell her she's a retard and she's going to damage her organs diets should be no more than 600kcal under TDEE
Isaiah Perez
Keto and fasting are actually two of the three methods I've used to lose weight in the past, and it's not unhealthy at all. Fasting in moderation has shown to be good for your body in some cases, and it's an excellent method of losing weight if you control it properly and drink lots of water. Honestly both keto and fasting are perfectly healthy, and I would only be concerned if she was fasting for more than 48 hours of if she was eating under 400-600 calories a day when she does eat. If she is overweight to the point where she isn't at a healthy weight, it's more important for you to encourage HEALTHY dieting and weight-loss activities, rather than discouraging her. Discouraging her when she's making progress and finding something that works for her will only damage your relationship and make her feel more insecure.

oh shut up, the organ damage someone is doing to themselves being a fatty is much worse than losing weight quickly.
Lucas Russell
I don't understand why you think any of my post supports being fat
Jose Foster
BMR is not the same as daily calories needed to sustain weight lmao
