as someone with a restrictive eating disorder, the things you talk about in this video is like a sample of what its like, like obsessions over food, its what happens to your body when you enter starvation mode which is a physical thing. Same with your body randomly feeling fine and not hungry even though you know you haven't eaten enough. Gut issues, sleep issues, heart issues, the list is endless. Though your only experiencing this from a sample point of view instead of it going on and on for months and years but your not weak for calling it quits, your doing what your suppose to do, eat! You might be thinking "but people with eating disorders do this", that's because our brain is wired differently as its a disease. my brain doesn't feel rewarded when I eat, I physically don't have an interest in eating and when I do, everything needs to be perfect (like you said in the video about thinking about what your gonna eat all day, I obess over food and what I'm going to eat or what I want to eat in the future regardless of if I will actually end up eating it or not). so I hope this kinda gives you a bit more insight or a different perspective to doing this and I hope you recover from being in starvation mode (just be careful not to eat a heavy meal after restricting your eating like this as you can go into refeeding syndrome and that is a deadly complication from restriction or fasting for awhile, even just a few days
As someone who used to have restrictive ana which has now turned into ana/bp this is so true. I obsess over food ALL THE TIME, it consumes my whole life I can’t think about anything else. And anytime I have access to a little more food or some things that I don’t normally allow myself I just spiral and lose control. And the worst part that I know I can eat it all because I’ll purge it anyway… and sometimes it’s not even about getting rid of the calories, I just need to feel empty. I truly do not wish this on anyone
You didn't fail. I consider this a win. You did more than any of us could. I am also so sorry about the doo doo in your nose. I have 4 kids and can honestly say I do not miss diapers at all, but there will be a day when they're behind you!
Love the videos bro. I've been here since 2k and its been amazing to see you grow. your videos are super high quality and you deserve so much more. Happy early 30k!
I remember starving myself for days and just sitting in the same spot for the entire day. The only thing I had to do on that day was shower and I couldn't move. Everything about this was so relatable. The not being able to cry thing (you need energy to cry), the amount of seasoning on the tiny portion of food, the amount of diet sodas, the "boost of energy" which just means your body literally ate itself to provide you with energy, the exhaustion, everything. Don't feel like you're lazy or a couch potato or anything like that. Lack of food destroys your entire being.
I love that i keep getting "new" youtubers recommended. Y'all make pretty good quality irl videos and i really enjoy this. Keep going man wish you the best of luck, health and success 😊!
Bro you've got insane potential. Crazy underrated channel. The production is high, the quality is on point, the storytelling is crisp, quite frankly I have no idea why you don't get more views. You have a great character, funny and easy going; keep being you, lets strive for the million subs. Proud to say I've been here since >1k subs. Good luck my man.
i think it would be interesting to see a video where you start with 1000 calories and increase it by 1000 every day, but you have to work out to burn the same amount of calories every day until you fail to equal out. Or something like that at least. Congrats on almost reaching 30K, good luck!
You are so underated... I am pretty sure you will be successful on youtube very soon. Keep doing good videos like this!! I like the message at the end even tho its corny like you said. Take care!
Im not really a person to comment on videos or even acknowledge them i usually just watch the video and head over to the next one, but i seriously wanted to say that you seem like an awesome honest wholesome dude and i was suprised by the little amount of subscribers you have, keep going you’ll definitely get there sooner or later
Absolute banger of a vid bro! I watched all the ads to support you too. Love to see a genuine down to earth dude. I smiled and laughed thru the whole vid ❤
Hadnt seen a video of you in about half a year and I gotta say the contrast between your physique then and now is just insane. Youve made amazing progress keep up the work!
i love the chill atmosphere that your videos give off, i always enjoy watching your content!! also love the fact that you stop the challenge when you feel like your health is at risk, that should aways be the main priority!🙏
I watched your double calorie series and forgot abt you, u randomly pooped up on my recommendations. You're an absolute goat love these videos keep going bro
been watching this guy for awhile still makes me wonder how he only has 28k subscribers. hes videos are like im watching someone with 100k or more. far load of creators with thousands of subs but don't make good content. alex does make good content i wish he had some more because it is what he deserves
Comment out of concern! Black diarrhea is not a normal thing even with starvation. It means either you ate something odd (licorice, charcoal, etc) or you are bleeding somewhere in your upper GI tract. You should mention it to your doctor bc you said the same thing in the doubling calories video.
Wow, seeing that footage from day 10 is crazy. I think anyone else would have just cracked but instead of that you see it as an opportunity to reflect on the people that are suffering all over the world. Kudos man
Man i have so much respect for you, you make yourself suffer so much for our entertainment. Hope you're okay now, man pls don't suffer for our sake, its miserable watching you sad.
I commented on your other calorie video 4 MONTHS AGO! You're channel has grown so much! Proud to say I've been subbed since before you hit 3k, can't wait to see what you have stored for the future!
god damn man it literally hit me when you said black diarrhea, how much pain you were going through with that starvation. i just want to say thank you for this vid
Thank you so much for putting this video out. You demonstrated perfectly how important food is to the human body and I know that sounds insane, but I personally forget how important food is sometimes, and then I wonder why my body feels so bad. It’s just so hard to eat enough sometimes bc my body doesn’t really like to properly digest food. So I pick and choose when I want to fight for my life in the torlet afterwards
Love the vids bro! Saw your “Doubles my calories each day” vid when it was at around a few hundred views and I’ve been watching you ever since, keep the content up ! ❤🎉
Honestly I’m just waiting for the moment Alex will be at 1mil subscribers cus he sure makes content like he already has all the subscribers in the world ! Love that
Ok but this is actually great, you had a dumb idea and after doing the challange you realized how awful the thing is, you were honest and did a charity for hungry people casue you dont want any1 to feel this way. we need more youtubers like that
I think you made a good call of quitting when you did and tbh the ~11000- ~50 cal range is more interesting than the last few days where you're pretty much just fasting, I wouldn't consider it a fail to stop when you did. I watched your other video and remember thinking it would be interesting to see it in reverse in case those extra calories front loaded helped ease the pain of not eating, but I have my answer, it doesn't.
During the trenches of my ED I would binge and then not eat for multiple days. I vividly remember the fear of dying in my sleep, I can’t describe it well but it feels like your heart rate is all over the place. Interesting challenge but I hope no one else attempts it😭
Loved the video super entertaining, however I just wanted to mention that just because you’re eating low calories for a couple days doesn’t mean you’re gonna lose muscle. Your body is pretty resilient and the last thing it wants to do is let go of the muscle it worked so hard to build :) happy lifting.
also brother, never be sorry for taking care of yourself! starving is one of the hardest things mentally and physically, you're real strong to be able to accept "defeat" and realise you couldn't go on. you did great for prioritising your health!
watched the doubling video a couple months back, love to see a similar video

Some seasonings that have 0 calories have calories because it is legal if it's under like 5 calories so it's considered negligible calories.
