And walking 30k steps a day burns way more than that so you would be losing several pounds a week at that rate which is also not healthy (unless of course you are like 600 pounds at the start).

I’m talking from a place of also starting a health journey several years ago so I know how long certain steps take etc… Walking 30k steps takes more hours a day than a typical person has. So you definitely don’t have a job or don’t have kids etc…I would bet you are lying about multiple things but the bigger issue is what you are doing is very disordered. And sure-you will be thin but you will also end up in the hospital. Good luck.

Taking control of your health is admirable but lying about it or even worse-advocating for extremely unhealthy ways of losing weight is definitely not.

I am just telling my story not advocating for anything. Yes I have a job which requires a phd, which I also happen to have) and 3 kids. I was losing maybe 3-4 lbs per week initially but obviously that has slowed down quite a bit now. I was afraid to weigh myself on day 1 but at some point in a recent past I was 208 in the doctor's office. That was my highest official weight.

Yes, starvation leads to weight loss. News at eleven.

Do people think anorexia means eating zero or something?

OP here. I don’t have anorexia. I am now 130 lbs and I eat 1000-1100 calories. My October steps were 23.4k per day. I also do weight training 3 times per week. I am full of energy and very productive.

Where are you walking to get 23k steps a day? That’s 11 -13 miles a day.

You lost weight. You did it in an extremely unhealthy way. Own that. It’s not healthy and no normal person is going to believe it is. No medical professional who wants to keep their medical license would support this. You are happy because you lost weight. great. but own that you did it starving yourself. And before you go on about “eating 700 calories isn’t starving yourself” it is when you are walking 30k steps a day which puts you in negative calories not even accounting for the calories we burn in a day by just existing.

It is what it is-An extremely unhealthy and harmful way to lose weight. But yah-of course it works. It worked because you were in a severe calorie deficit.

what exactly is unhealthy about it?

You can’t honestly be seriously asking that.

VLCD were not found to increase food cravings, and on the contrary, appear to reduce food cravings more than low-calorie diets.[29]

a very low calorie diet would be like 1000-1200. 700 calories is not a very low calorie diet-it’s starving/eating disorder.

very low calories diet is under 800 kcal. there are a lot of papers on this, and it's on that wikipedia link.

1000-1200 is maintenance level calories for someone weighing say 110-120 lbs.

yes…wikipedia. Where everyone should get their medical info.

OP here. I don’t admit that have anorexia. I am now 130 lbs and I eat 1000-1100 calories which I know only seems normal to me since I was starving myself on 700 calories for so long. My October steps were 23.4k per day. I also do weight training 3 times per week. I am full of energy and very productive despite the fact that I have a raging eating disorder.
