Here's my experience with metabolic damage. In November 2012, I went vegan and went on a high carb primarily raw diet of fruit, and I lost weight and then maintained at 70kg eating 3000+ calories a day. It even included giant meals of mashed potatoes upto 2kg in a meal! This was ofc very awesome not having to restrict calories!!! But later on I started to listen to the quacks who promoted restriction and fasting to "detox" or "cleanse" and so I began a journey that would cause me to become anorexic. It began with a few water fasts and eventually one that would be 31 days on water only. A few months after this, my body had gained so much weight, I think I had gained over 20kg above my previous set point of 70kg. This caused me to take drastic measures, I began calorie restricting and dieting below 2000 kcals. I eventually reached my original 70kg weight but at the cost of my health, sanity and energy levels. After I was fed up of feeling unwell I began eating unrestricted once again. This time I gained even more weight. I eventually did another fast in 2016 because I was still not completely convinced I was doing the right things. After finally returning to eating unlimited calories, after 2 years of not restricting, I started to lose weight without reducing calories. It really is true that our bodies only gain weight when we have starved below our set points. Metabolism will increase when we maintain our set point long term and eventually the set point will lower over time to reduce the weight gain. :) I am currently down 18 lbs whilst eating a calorie surplus. :)
Yes absolutely! I'm so happy for you that you have maintained a sustainable lifestyle in the last two years😁 I hope you are feeling much healthier and energetic!
you lasted two years without able yo lose weight? im currently in a year and 6 months... my body continues to gain weight... idk what to do anymore im losing my sanity
I love how transparent you are. A lot of vegan talk about metabolism damage but not a lot say how much time it takes for them, they say "it takes a lot of times but it varies" and they're not showing how they looked. Thanks a lot for sharing
Thank you, thank you for this excellent explanation of the natural correction from an ED. I’m on the gaining part of this recovery and it’s been very scary for me. I have a new sense of peace about it now and am finally hopeful for a positive outcome. This is one post I’ll be watching again and again. Thank you again, Brittany!
how did you deal with foodbellies and not having so much appetite in recovery? when i eat the amount of food my body wants i only eat about 1500 calories. i have to force myself to eat more but i feel as if my gut cannot deal with digesting the meals and it takes him so long to get on with it...
I just started eating as much as I could possibly want! I didn't care about food baby's. I was so hungry, and I honoured that. My body's digestive system adjusted to my change within a week or two 😎
I really needed to hear this!!! So glad I came across your channel. Do you mind me asking your height?? You’re journey and weight sound the same as me, I’m curious if we’re similar heights.
@@TheVeganSolution Me too!!! I tried your banana ice-cream this morning with frozen raspberries and I added some cocoa nibs and I feel SO good. Thanks!!
Thank you for this information this explains what I noticed when I started my plant based diet I freaked out like omg I’m gaining weight wth!!!! But I believe that I have now acclimated and I’ve noticed my body has better responses now Oh! Btw! I did find out that I have a severe intolerance plants in the nightshade family and this is why I have a severe reaction to potatoes 🥔 sucks because I love them but I’ll have to remove them from my diet however that means more greens!!!! ❤️
WHATTT DID YOU JUST SAY ADRENAL FATIGUE OMGGG THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME I HAD ANOREXIA AND I AM RECOVERED BUT I HAVE ADRENAL FATIGUE CAN YOU PLS MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO GET OUT OF ADRENAL FATIGUE
Over the course of a few years, slowly but gradually I've been losing fat and weight over time. Since last year it has now settled at my set weight, and I am no longer losing, just maintaining ✌
Hello great video thank you for the information and for sharing all that I do have a question though and I know it’s asked a lot just I don’t know if I can’t hear it enough I understand it well enough but what happens with the people who are overweight, when you come for Minnesota or like I am and now I’m fixing the damage by eating a whole plant-based diet and abundance but yet there is a possibility of getting overweight and staying overweight
I'm sorry but I would have to know a lot more about your health history, and your current diet/lifestyle to help you. If you are interested in personalised one-on-one guidance and support you can check out the health coaching programs I offer 😘www.thevegansolution.com/health-coaching
The approach to lose fat can be different for everyone. If you're wanting personalised one-on-one guidance and support, check out the health coaching programs I offer here: www.thevegansolution.com/health-coaching 😊
I don’t know how much I should eat bc I am very small and not active nc I have much school work on the desk ... I am 16 and 1,47cm ... have any recommendation ?
my weight stayed at my highest for about 6 months, then slowly started to lower. However this will be different for EVERYone. It depends on how much healing your body needs to do, because of your health history and current diet/lifestyle. Healing is important, so be patient and consistent 🙏
Thank you. Im about 1.5 years into recovery after 20 years of anorexia/bulimia. I started healing when i became plant based due to poor health. Im up to 125lbs from 100 and I don't think its stopping. I eat pretty much 90% unprocessed. I dont need to gain more weight and i still have extreme hunger at night..actually i suffer from a nocturnal eating disorder as well. I wake up EVERY hour and eat since age 13 and it used to be sleep eating but now its i wake up and feel too stressed to go back to bed without eating and it kills my sleep cause 10 min of every night hour i spend eating. Please if you can help it would be immensely appreciated.😗

You don't lower your set point. Your body's natural set point is the optimally healthy position it can be in. So that is the place you want to get to 😊
no no. I think you're confused. there is only one natural set point for your body, which could range within 5kg I say.... after many years of consistency with a super healthy diet/lifestyle will you then reach (and easily maintain) your ideal bodys "set point" (body composition of fat/muscle/water, and therefore your overall body weight). 😎👍
but isn't 2000 a bit much for a female? i'm quite tiny, i can eat 2000 calories when i work out but otherwise it's a big no/no - edit; thanks for sharing your experience, brave to open up about it
@@TheVeganSolution i'm 163 cm~ truly, if i eat that much i'll gain weight, a couple of years ago i went to a dietitian and she even told me to eat about 1600 calories, i think i was like 21 or so back then? i didn't move much
OMG I'm 161cm, I'm smaller than you. I cannot believe a dietitian would tell you to eat so little. A small child should eat that much. If you gain weight eating only 2000 calories, then your body is not healthy, not functioning optimally. Therefore it's critical that you do eat a minimum of 2000 calories to heal. Your body needs to gain that bit of extra body fat/water weight to heal 🙏

Do you think one can lower their set point in hclf diet?
You don't lower your set point. Your body's natural set point is the optimally healthy position it can be in. So that is the place you want to get to 😊
@@TheVeganSolution but after you gain the weight than plattue, isn't a new set point for you? Or the range is so wide? 10kg plus wide...thank you!
no no.

I couldn't eat 2000 calories either. I don't think you can say one number for everyone there are many factors to take into consideration.
The Vegan Solution im 166cm but i eat plant based and around 1,300kcal and
I feel really full. ??
Are you now leaner than you were before becoming vegan ? 😉
She's certainly brighter and happier... I think that's the most important part
Yes I am, I've stopped losing fat/weight now though. My body has reached its happy place 😊👍
I'm not kidding and without offending you but for me you look better in 2017👍🏻
Are you only judging by this thumbnail? 😂
can you not stare at the camera like that? it is creepy and hard to watch. but nice video
