Serious question time. How many of you legitimately starve yourselves to lose weight?

I'm not trying to sound accusatory or angry, I'm just legitimately curious.

I usually wake up around 10 or 11 and just eat one time around 7pm, it's not even that I actively avoid eating I just don't really have time to eat during the day and i'm not hungry when I wake up. Depending upon if it's a weekend or not I might grab a late night snack or something but usually i'm in bed by 12:30 or 1 so I'm not too hungry after dinner.

Starving only really works if you're fat since you got all that energy reserves. That's how I lost weight the first time. I was eating 500 cals a day and walking/jogging on the treadmill for 2 hours everyday for three months. I tried eating that low recently and I could not do it. After the first week, I couldn't even lift my arms above my head for more than a few seconds. I was breathing heavily throughout the day like I couldn't catch my breath.

1800 cals is somehow starving yourself. Negro, a huge breast of chicken and like 6 egg whites is around 250 calories. You would have to eat that 7 times, to get up to 1800 calories. The only way you would be starving yourself is if you're eating a bunch of high calorie shit and you have no idea how to diet properly. Most people have to eat around 1200-1600 calories to lose weight, so you are saying everybody needs to starve themselves to lose weight.

aside from glucose stores (which are depleted in a day or two), fat is the first thing your body breaks down. this is because of the lack of glucose, which your brain runs on, so your body turns fatty acids into ketone bodies, an alternative energy source for the brain.

I'm 6'1" and 121 lbs. I don't starve myself, and I've been quite skinny my whole life. I think I may just have a low appetite or something- a normal day of eating for me consists of a big bowl of cereal for breakfast, a sandwich or two + fruit for lunch, and a serving of meat and some vegetables for dinner. I sometimes have snacks like potato chips and chocolate throughout the day, and I might go and get a fast food meal maybe once a week. I don't do any regular exercise whatsoever.

I haven't noticed any real difference between my diet and any average-sized person's, though I might just not be paying close enough attention, because it doesn't make sense to me that I eat like that and stay at my current weight, while other people talk about having to skip meals and still being unable to get to a size comparable to me.

Ketogenic diet.

Appetite is basally lower than with carb-based diets. I can drink a morning coffee and comfortably not eat until the evening.

You'll also lose ~10 pounds of water weight in about three days. Excess carbs are stored as glycogen (and once those stores are full they're stored as fat.) For each molecule of glycogen your body retains, three molecules of water are bound to these glycogen molecules. Thus, by cutting carbs and not replenishing your glycogen stores, you lose a fuckton of water weight.

It also feels like I have a fog of cloudiness lifted from my mind. And helps me with minor depression. This part is just anecdotal though.

Try getting 65% of your calories from fat, 30% from protein, 5% from carbs. Do this for one week. If you don't feel/look like fucking money, go back and do IIFYM or just a basic caloric deficit.

if you seriously think you've been eating 200 calories every day for the last 2 years you're either an ex morbidly obese anon, or you're just as bad as the fat people who think they're only eating x amount of calories and can't lose any weight.

Track your calories honestly and i guarantee you're not eating that much on a steady basis, thats about 2 pieces of bread with nothing in them a day. a handful of nuts is often more than that.
you can have that much every so often and you won't have any long term side effect other than the tissue or fat your body breaks down to sustain itself but as others have said, its physically impossible to maintain that for 2 years straight.
a newborn baby would have a TDEE of around 200 calories if not more and obviously it would go up significantly within 2 years.
