I have restricted for over 40 years – and have been NOT restricting for 6 months. I feel, very strongly, that your training is in fact part of an eating disorder, and that your intake is nowhere near enough to support recovery and also your training. Please get some help with this, because you will be causing yourself more damage by training so hard and still undereating. Although I have put fat on, I have ALSO experienced my muscles staying in reasonable shape for 6 months – because I am eating 2500- 3000 cals a day. I will return to lifting once I am comfortable with my ability to eat properly (like ENOUGH PLUS) to support my training. And YES – after a liftetime of 1000 t0 1400 calorie dieting and training I am really looking forward to training on 3000 plus. Along with icecream, macdonalds coffee frappes are a GREAT recovery food! And the joy of being free to have them whups the joy I used to get from having a flat belly, hands down.

Anything below 1800 calories for women is considered starving And for the last 20 years I’ve berated myself for going over 1400 calories !! (I never could keep it that low so I’ve been berating myself every single day since I was a kid). It’s such a sin. Thank you for this. The insanity has now ended for me.

I checked my typical food intake on a calorie tracker website and found that I probably average 1800 calories a day, sometimes less. I weigh 120lbs and have been tempted to try dieting to lose belly fat that has accumulated now that I’m in my mid thirties. Various websites suggested to me that I should be eating as low as 1400 calories a day to lose weight. I already find it really hard to exercise on my current intake.

You have inspired me to say F**** it, I’m going to eat as much as my body really needs (I already eat healthy real food, don’t even like junk food/sugar etc), get more exercise and trust that everything will be fine 🙂

Went through therapy and used Gwyneth’s site for support as well (although I did not follow the MM guidelines). I average around 2000-2500 cal/day, but I do workout and lift heavy-ish? Having some heart palpitations that are becoming more prominent- not a fast heart beat but a STRONG one. Fatigue, dizziness when standing from a lying or sitting position, etc. The only thing that helps the strong heart beat is icecream!
