Why it went wrong at the first place:
1. I ate ate and ate...
1.1 Ate all the wrong things
casually went on eating cookies, not less than 6 or 7 at a time without knowing that each cookie has atleast 60 calories (pick any tasty ones)
1.2 Ate the wrong quantity
would compete with my elder brother in the quantity he consumed and would easily be at par with him, ignoring that every buttered chapati I consume has 100 calories.
1.3 Ate at the wrong time
would be awake late in the night chatting on the messenger with friends and munching on my fav. snack (usually anything fried) which has no less than 300 calories.
2. Not much of physical exercise
apart from cycling with friends, which eventually led to munching chips and having a cold drink, I ended up adding more calories than I was burning.
3. completely lacking of calorie understanding
4. comfortably believing that this is all baby fat :) or
5. blaming hormones and considering myself helpless or
6. having a huge feel good factor after working out and hog on
What all went wrong afterwards:
1. Sudden loss on 12 kgs made my blood pressure fall
I had severely low BP at such a tender age.
2. Body accepted and got used to 600 calories
my rate of weight loss came down as the body eventually got used to this supply of calories instead of 1500.
3. Metabolism rate fell tremendously
the rate at which i was burning my calories by exercising fell too. The body started behaving like a camel and storing food to save up for future use. Losing more weight became impossible.
4. Body remained weak and had low temp for almost a year
The haemoglobin rate fell much below normal and I was asked to consume normally.
5. Body began to gain wait once on normal diet
since my body got accustomed to taking only 600 calories, any further addition made the weight increase.
6. Regained 10 kgs in a span of a quarter
after having lost 20 kgs, I gained half of it back in span of just 3 months. My body was so deprived of food that now anything extra was stored as fat for future, considering there was a famine.
Word of advice: Dont do crash diets under no supervision. They do work but only if your calorie intake is kept under control so that you dont gain back double in half the time. What you eat is what you become. Eating right is the key to weight loss even if you cant exercise.
