Hey guys, just want to warn you about ED. So, I wanted to hear what you guys have to say about why I am potentially not losing weight— please read the entire thing before responding! I am a 20 yo female who has had issues with my weight my entire life and have never had an control over my diet. I binge, I eat whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it, etc. I do excercise on and off but I have been trying to be consistent. Recently, I got diagnosed with ADHD and got prescibed adderall which has a side effect of extreme dry lips/loss of appetite. The thirst has been great because I had a really bad habit of being extremely dehydrated/not drinking water and am drinking appropriate amounts now! The issue/dilemma I am having is with the appetite loss. I havent been eating 3 meals a day ever since I started the medication and definitely not getting 1200 calories. I generally drink 2-3 cups of green tea with honey/lemon, one meal and snack on pita chips or chips and salsa throught the day. If i had to guess my calorie count on average is somewhere around 600-800? At first i lost about 5 lbs but i didnt necessarily attribute it to the adderall bc i was also excercising/losing water weight. But now, im not losing any weight at all even thought I have been excersing a decent amount (im doing the chloe ting summer shred). I am working on incorporating more calories/meals info my diet as i realize im basically starving myself but why am i not losing weight? In theory since I have a calorie deficit (since im also excersing) i should be losing some weight but ive been the same weight for about 3 weeks now. What could be the reason? Is my body on starvation mode and not wanting to burn calories? Is my metabolism slow? I’m trying to figure it out so that when I build myself back to eating regularly I can fix my issue so i can lose the weight. For reference I am a 20 yo F, 138 lbs, 5’4 (i have fat throughout my body, i have super fat arms, a lot of fat on my back/hips/waist, big boobs, and a belly). I realize for my weight im not overweight by any means but proportionally i dont think i look ideal and i also want to lose fat so that i can begin the process of gaining muscle!
