[Anonymous]

Hello :)
I'm on my journey to weight loss and I've got about 5 kgs to lose (I'm 164cm tall and I want to be 46 kg), and I need to do so asap because of vacation and my sister's wedding coming up/
Basically I'm in my final year of high school and I'm SO STRESSED because of upcoming assessments and expectations etc etc.
So I BINGED today and I feel so horrible although I binged on healthy food but it was A LOT! - omelettes, salads, quinoa, smoothies, salmon, almonds, honey, nut spreads... OMG

Please take a look at this

I want to detox detox DETOXXXXXX right away. I will start tomorrow, will keep on doing cardio and strength training. Will this make me lose muscle mass or slow down metabolism? I plan to eat 1000 calories a day + exercise. My bmr is only around 1400 or something. This will be only for 1 week

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK
I appreciate your help!! :)

One thing is to treat each day as a new day, don't starve yourself or overwork yourself because of one binge, because it was one. Just like working out heavily one day doesn;t make it okay to binge the next. Don't go below 1300 calories, especially if your active, your body needs fuel. Also, muscle is generally good, don't worry too much about the weight, I would worry more about toning and trying to lose inches not weight.
Please don't overdo it, as it will cause injury, especially if you use incorrect form. Work at being healthy and don't expect to be able to drop inches instantly, as it takes time and dedication.

I have no idea if this diet would work, but those numbers got me thinking. You're 164 cm tall and you wanna weigh 46, which means you now weigh 51 (since you want to lose 5kilo). I'm 167 cm and weigh 52 kilo and I'm on the skinny side. Aren't you on a healthy weight now? To be honest, I don't think you need to diet. If you just work out and tone up a bit, I think that would be enough :)

the only true way of getting into shape, is by exercising and cutting down on your fats. you can eat what you want, but you have to control yourself, dont allow another binge again, basically. and that comes with discipline, which you lack

Wait why do you want to lose weight? You sound like you're absolutely ok for your height

[hswhis]

As a general rule you should weigh 110 less than your height to be a healthy weight. Of course you would need to take into consideration a person's build such as a small-boned person may weigh 1-2 kilos less and a big-boned person may weigh 1-2 kilos more.

However, for general purposes 164-110 = 54 kg. You should weigh approximately 54 kilos. So 46 kilos is really unhealthy.

thanks for your answer :)
I'm only 18 years old and for my age it is really not uncommon to have girls my height to weigh 45-48 kgs. I went on the bmi calculator and checked BMIs of celebrities who looked healthy (not anorexics or really skinny models on the runway) and they all had low BMIs. I think BMIs aren't very accurate, because say in many countries, 50% of adults are obese. By the way I'm Asian and I'm going to HK soon, don't want to get judged because of my weight because trust me if you're Asian and you're fat over there, all eyes on you lol

okay you didn't really answer my question if that diet would help me get back on track (7 days only) without losing muscle

I have quite a few Asian friends who when they go back they always get criticized for their weight even though here they are considered thin. Especially when they get fitted for their Vietnamese wedding dresses.

Yes, you will lose muscle. You are not consuming any protein and it's a very low cal diet. Therefore your body will resort to catabolism, it will consume itself. Unfortunately, the body is not selective, and choose only fat. Actually it will consume protein (muscle) first.
