I know you guys hate threads like this but I can't help it, my case is out of the ordinary as well
I'm not fat but not fit either, I'm at the border between OK and overweight. Tried to diet many times and I always end up failing after 2 or 3 days.
Recently I've been able to diet for reasons I don't know. I just stopped feeling hunger. Maybe it's because I'm loving a girl but eh, I don't know.
I started by consuming like 1300 calories per day, which some websites say is already dangerous, but it seemed normal for me. Then my calorie intake started getting reduced even further as each day passed. Yesterday I consumed 500 calories. Yes, just a plate of soup during the morning and two slices of low calories bread with butter at night. Looked it up and 500 calories is way below the starvation threshold.
But what can I do? I don't feel hungry, and I don't want to force myself to eat because all meals I avoid are lost weight for me which is something I want. I've been going sub-1500 for almost 2 weeks by now and I don't feel bad or anything but some diet websites say that what I am doing is extremely dangerous.
Does anyone in Veeky Forums experienced something similar?
pic unrelated.

From what I've heard, dying isn't all bad so keep going.
Start drinking your calories if you can't eat them. Don't sta

Dying? Is it this bad? I mean I would start eating more if I ever got dizzy or something but I'm fine, just extremely tired, I feel like sleeping the entire day.
Is 1500 calories fine? Accordingly to the sticky website my TDAA is 2300. -800 should be safe?
Jose Long
Don't listen to them. You'll be fine
Josiah Hughes
You're overestimating your calories like every tubby novice. If you feel ok then keep doing it.
Evan Davis
wouldn't you mean underestimating in this case?
Also, OP you'll feel the effects eventually. Dizziness, weak, tired, etc. Your chickens will come home to roost eventually and the next time you have a holiday weekend you'll pack it back on.
Make calorie dense shakes if you have to (milk, peanut butter, protein, etc), and if you want to be more fit start doing some sort of exercise - cardio, lifting, bodyweight... something

how can you people eat this little? my maintenance is at around 3300 and i'm cutting at the moment at 2700-2800 and i feel like absolute shit all the time. i don't even want to imagine what hell it must be to try and eat at even bigger deficit.
Josiah Phillips
Average at ~1200, you get used to it desu
Daniel Martin
I worded it poorly but I meant in a more general sense, newbs always overestimate how much they're doing in day to day life. Your body is designed to run on a calorie deficit, and it'll let you know if you're doing something wrong.

>my maintenance is at around 3300 Do you have a physically active job or exercise for several hours every day?
Let yourself go child. Death isn't the end, all is quiet and beautiful here.
Christian Thompson

Matthew Clark
What do you do for the light-headedness?
Caleb Sanders
400/600 mg caffeine per day, to try to keep me awake at least.

Always keep your electrolytes up. You're fine right now, if you start getting heart palpitations then you'll know its getting bad.

d-does she enjoy this?
She doesn't look like she's in pain, the look on her face is the look of someone's purpose being fulfilled, like being sliced up and consumed is her reason to live and it's finally happening, what kind of existence is this?
Luis Moore
Bro if you're not morbidly obese and in risk of dying because of your weight don't do this. Go with 500 cal deficit and it should be just fine.
Noah Williams
A-user?
You OK?
Daniel Smith
What are you so fucking worried about? You aren't going to accidentally starve to death, retard.
Is it healthy? Who cares, what the fuck does that even mean?
