Ive watched videos and I always end up getting really overwealmed, its also cost. Like the thrift stores in my area arnt very decent, and you can’t try on anything anymore but I’m still on a budget. I kinda want to avoid shein, cause sizing was strange, and child labor. How stuff fits is also kinda hard since I don’t really have hips and given I started puberty at like 12 I doubt they will ever exist on my body. I have some basic fem T shirts and Jeans I need to wear a belt which ive gotten gendered correctly a few times while wearing.

    Keto worked for me for a while. It’s a high fat, mid protein, low carb diet.

    You want to keep carbohydrate intake super low. Basically, your veg intake will mostly be green leafy veggies. Fruit, for the most part, is a no-go. Fruit is super high in sugar.

    No bread, no pasta.

    Allllllll the meat you want. Burgers, wapped in lettuce. Meat based (vs bean based) chili.

    There are many, many keto recipes out there. But again, all diets boil down to minding your calorie intake. It may help you to download a calorie tracking app.

    Do you have a local park you could walk at? Bicycling? Pushups and situps at home? There’s ways, friend. I sincerely wish you luck.

      I have been trying one meal a day, but I have had little success with it cause I just get really sick and don’t do anything all day. in theory I could be loosing weight but I would be unlikely to notice anything for years, but I guess that goes for any diet.

        Then you aren’t taking care of your body well. Your body still needs energy, and if you don’t have enough energy to move, you won’t be losing weight. You will be too tired to exercise, and won’t burn any calories.

        Your body is trying to conserve energy cuz you arent taking care of it well. Three small meals will treat you so much better than the one. It sounds counterintuitive, I know, but if you don’t feel well enough to do anything, you won’t.

        Edit: could also be why your mental health has been in the shitter. If you aren’t eating well, it really messes with you, mind and body. Eating so little will make you sick, foggy, and have no energy to do anything
