Everyone is telling you to start eating carbs and decide to go on one of the most aggressive low carb diets ever made.
RFL caused my binge eating to get way worse.
Willpower is not an issue for me, never has been, never will be. You're an overeater, and you have psychological control issues, I don't. Don't assume everyone is like you. If someone told me that I could lose the remaining weight if I didn't eat at all for 3 months, and that I somehow could preserve my lean muscle mass and have a healthy body while doing so, I would do it.
I plan when I binge - in fact I listed them by date in this thread. Planned deviations, and an overall plan, and goals, benchmarks and a timeline make losing fat easy.
"everyone" are two people - and those two also said it would be impossible for me to lose the weight I have. 220 lbs lost later, they're still wrong.
Fact is, I need to catch up for 3 months of over maintenance eating, water bloating and too numerous diet breaks which have resulted in a seesaw effect between 230-250. This seems like the best way to do that without losing lean muscle mass. I have also done a lot of research (academic research, not just reading an ebook), this isn't done out of a place of ignorance. Right now, i'm eating as I should be eating ONCE i'm at my target weight. My current diet is not extreme enough to promote weight loss (it WAS when I started, i'm basically going back to how i used to eat, albeit with more protein). I'll be going back to eating how I eat now, ~2000 calories ketogenic, once i cut this weight. And you'll see, i'll once again prove all my critics wrong.
