Yes and still is.

I think relying on your religion is dangerous. It sounds like you're repressing something to me. Your lack of motivation and energy along with your "low mood" are prime examples of depression

Yep, you're right there, I only get by on around 300-500 calories a day.
But that's a big dinner you had, all that fat would look better on someone who is skinny lol

Fuck me you are a complete tool if you only eat that many calories! 1200 calories is widely seen as the minimum for an adult male ffs!

I do commend people who eat healthily all the time.
I eat well most of the time but if really want something ill have it.
Its all about moderation, enjoy whatever you like just dont take it to extremes.

I on the other hand shant be riding tonight as its cold, p#ssing down with rain and i CBA. Did go out Sunday, last night and ill go out tomorrow on my half day. Tend to do 3 rides a week.

You're a bit like me. I only ride 2-3 times a week and their not long rides. Just 20-30 mins locally. I'm trying to get in to it and increase fitness.

I've been having twix bars lately after not eating chocolates for several years, was just craving for it as it popped in to my head one day.

Do you ever ride in mornings like shortly after sunrise? and how far do you ride or how long for?

I burned that in 30 minutes on the bike in the gym this morning (was in work time and didn't have chance to get out on a real bike) 3-500 isn't enough for your body to function properly.

I personally think that although your calorie intake is low, it's not as low as you think it is.

I didn't take medication for my breakdown. They were offering me Lanzapine which sedates negative thoughts and the human body and stuns mental development. I sought the clever route, I dropped meat and chicken and canned food from my diet, I just ate really healthy for a while, ignored doctors advice and suggestions they were making for me like putting or trying to get me to take medicine. They were forcing me to accept stuff like I was hearing voices and imagining stuff so they could look at sectioning me in a hospital, but I didn't let it get that far. I played it cool. Also another factor and a key role in fighting depression is getting out of the house, going for occasional walks and liasing with people of good character, developing good habits and ties with family relations and letting go of resentment and negativity and seeking advice or help from support workers. To forgive someone who has done bad to you, takes a load off the heart and mind and makes it easier for an individual to carry on in life. Sometimes medication can help. I ordered some herbs from Pakistan which is like honey but made from 100% natural stuff and use to put it in a grinder with milk and drink it, it had the same effect as an anti-psychotic sedative like the one I mentioned above, but without the side effects. It takes a while, it's a commonality with teens now and some adults is depression, but we've been taught in our faith, for every illness there is a cure. It's just a matter of patience. Drop all bad food from the diet and change to good natural as you can food and watch the difference in little time.

Reading your above post are you sure you're not depressed? Serious question. My brother suffers with depression and he has similar symptoms at times!

I have had quite an episode in the past around 5 years ago, just had a nervous breakdown after I failed 1 of my exams and was quite angry sometimes. Nowadays I'm quite coolheaded, must be all the praying I do, helps a lot to clear my conscience. Food had a lot to do with it but doctors didn't believe me, they just said it helps keep up energy and good health but not mental health. I personally believe scientific study and research is not showing the dangers of eating processed food such as meat and chicken and other stuff. Meat causes anger when it is eaten in excess. That's my opinion.

Has your brother ever been treated for it?

Yes I have been treated for it as Kev says. It took me a long time to admit that there was an issue there but it took something happening in my life where I had a complete melt down for me to realise that there was something wrong. I couldn't sleep didn't eat much had no energy, mood swings, self loathing, self blame etc etc.
I was signed off work for 3 months and put on medication and also had a few therapy sessions (which helped a lot) I have learnt that it affects people in different ways and I still have my good and bad days but you learn to accept it and realise that it is a part of your life but not the controller of your life.
Eating right and the right amount helped me hugely, regardless of your individual circumstances with the right balance of food and exercise you will find your energy levels increase. Have some goals that you want to achieve and work your way to reaching them. You don't have to rush but don't slip in to bad habits.
I had a lot of support from family and friends and I can now openly talk about it rather than ignore it and hope it goes away (which only caused me going to some very, very dark places)


But whatever it is that is stopping you, putting doubt in your head or just making you feel like you just can't be bothered today. Ignore it, like I said build up with small goals and monitor your eating properly make sure you're getting the right stuff (it may seem too much at first but the body is a wonderful tool) and you will reap the rewards

It's enough for me, sitting in office from 11-6, 5 days a week. It could be a heavy full of fat 500 calories or an easy to burn and digest 500 calories, I don't know the difference between the 2, just know that the regular 15 minute walk home burns it off.

For me that's one of five similar sized meals as get though 1kg meat a day roughly.

No real bad fat in that meal. Your body happily uses fat as fuel. You just need to choose the right type of fat.

Despite numerous people telling you repeatedly, you still don't seem to realise your body burns more than 500 calories just keeping you alive every day.

Like I said in your thread about weight loss, there's times I am put on a 5000 calorie a day diet in order to sustain me with what I do at work. Before you ask I'm 6 foot 3 and 13 and a half stone. I don't eat unhealthily constantly but I don't watch what I eat either, I tend to have breakfast then a large cooked lunch and then the same again for dinner plus plenty of snacks.

Your biggest problem however is that you constantly ask for advice then basically tell everybody that they're wrong which isn't a good trait for anybody to have

That is some sound advice, I will give it a try. Keep the faith, no one said life would be easy.
I hope you recover 100%. I've seen some people who never recover and doctors just keep giving them medication which just controls their minds and they live very horrible lives. It can be difficult living with depression as sometimes you feel like why are people watching you or talking about you all the time and why aren't you getting respect when deserved and lots of other things. But it's true, one step at a time and monitor what you eat and eat the right stuff. I think dropping meat helps significantly, because it's heavy and rich in calories, a bit like beef meat. I was a veggy through my episode of nervous breakdown. But I couldn't keep it up, too expensive and was mentally frustrating finding the right food. I was eating 1 meal a day and constantly shopping for more food and craving food sometimes during the day. Your advice is good, I will take it seriously. Depression episodes last usually more than 3 months but you've done well to recover in that time. A pat on the back.

ol\'gregg

I was signed off work for 3 months. I've been living with it (diagnosed) for 2 years. So no quick fix but learning to manage it is the best way I deal with it.
I've changed the way I eat (as I had put on a lot of weight) went from just shy of 19st to 16.5. That was purely from eating right and being more active. So i'd listen to some of the good advice in this thread about monitoring your eating as you don't seem to be getting enough if i'm honest and that can do more harm than good. I appreciate you following your religion on some things but better to be fit and healthy and have the energy to follow your faith than to let your health slip and have no energy to do what you want to do in life and make yourself ill

My brother said to me it's impossible to go on 5000 calories a day, I remember you said you work as a nurse or something? I'm just making sure I get the right advice and not the wrong advice, everyone seems to be giving me diferrent opinions on diet, but its more or less the same. Don't worry I have learnt quite a bit by reading your versions of diets. I am not a big eater but I shouldn't be weighing a lot for my diet either, somehow somewhere something has gone wrong and isin't right. I eat less but putting on more weight as the months go by. Someone has mentioned somewhere in the thread about why and I'll hve to go back and read it.

welshkev

Cos your body is in starvation mode and is storing fat you tool!!!

RevellRider

What this thread needs is some boobs

Antm81

It's not impossible, just unlikely, my food is developed to contain that many calories in small meals, it's been designed for the purpose of keeping me going doing very physical work on 3-5 hours sleep a day. I'm no nurse although I have received a lot of medical training and have witnessed numerous people suffer from not eating enough.

As Kev said, your body is in starvation mode and you'll need to gradually increase what you eat as your body adjusts so it can cope with a larger intake.

That's a lot of good advice there. I believe after having an episode of depression, it makes you think about life more and the things we've missed out on and could have done if we weren't so ill. But it affects people of all ages and can change peoples lifes for the good or for worse. One life to live is hard to be positive. I follow religion because I believe the preachers of the good religions were wise people and attained great spiritual heights. I believe that life is about being spiritual, discovering our inner self and unleashing hidden energy in our daily lifes on practically good things like praying and helping others and doing charity, acts of charity and good deeds. I did mention a few pages back that the prophets were healthy eaters and were very strong people but someone mentioned that they might have been malnurished but lean. It's something which I refuse to accept at moment let alone acknowledge. I've always held a belief that people in the past were agricultural people, worked all day farming, ate less and lived very happy lives and were very skinny people. But you're right sometimes I do not have energy to pray and I unintentionally miss prayers and go to bed, I might just try that, eating bit more.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you currently do to keep off the weight, I'm assuming you are still losing weight right and are you currently doing any cycling?

Guatama Buddha spent 6 years following extreme asceticism in order to understand the nature of life and the way to liberation. The scriptures say he lived on one nut a day, and that ultimately he became so weak that he collapsed in a river and almost drowned. This led him to the conclusion that extreme forms of sacrifice - including food - were counterproductive to his search for truth. He taught The Middle Way, avoiding the extremes of over indulgence and hardship.
It may be that the holy men of the past underwent some physiological change which enabled them to survive on very little food; but that certainly doesnt mean that surviving on very little food will make you a wise man.

Interesting, yh their mindset had something to do with it. A lot of mental conditioning I think.
