Thread: Is this a good idea to start with?

My plan was to lose weight at the start of the year but I have been all over the place with my diet since January. For the last 5 months I have been either overeating or under eating (in hopes of sustaining the undereating phase and losing weight). I go on 800 calories diets for days to a week but a week max and then I quit because it's so hard to go against the hunger my body feels. The thing that is so appealing about a low calorie diet is you lose weight fast which is why I am fighting so hard to try and do it but I keep failing, maybe I just don't want it bad enough? I dunno but I think this isn't good as I have been going no where. A quote from Einstein made me wake up a bit and it goes like... "Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results". So I want to quit trying to do something that just isn't working for me. What I wanted to try was not calorie tracking but finding the healthy middle ground with eating, so not overeating and not undereating but eating enough where I am full. Will this method work do you think in helping my lose weight? I been doing it for a day and have found to my amazement that a lot of the food that I eat I don't even really need to eat as I am already full with out it. This is especially true when I eat healthy instead of fast food as I am fuller for longer with healthier foods. I was thinking of eating to when I am full and also cutting out any sort of fast food which I commonly order. So what are your thoughts on this?

(Now that I think of it eating enough to where you are full seems like a normal approach to eating but I have been so caught up in trying to lose weight quickly then failing and overeating that I have just lost touch with what is normal for most people)

Btw I am 145kg or 320 pounds

You will never stick to such a low calorie intake. Why not just try a more sensible approach that you can sustain long term?

Eat meat, eggs with lots of bulky vegetables to fill you up 2-3 times per day - a total of maybe 1500-1800 calories - make it a habit. Be in it for the long run - you didn't get fat overnight and you won't get thin overnight either.

you can literally lose weight @ 2500, if not even 3000 calories at that weight. there is absolutely no reason to either only eat 800 calories or binge until you feel sick on 8000 calories
