    Plus anything that was in your intestines / bowels. There’s no fibre in there at all.

    I used to have to “make weight” and water and empty intestines are the short version of how it’s done.

        Is that true? It wouldn’t surprise me. When I was competing in that weight category sport I had a very skewed view of what I considered overweight (for me).

        99% of the population would have considered me lean as fuck when I thought otherwise.

          Unironically yeah. There’s more ways for a girl to pick up a restrictive eating disorder (family pressure, wider social pressure, more sports that care about weight like gymnastics and dance) but men can absolutely still get one and this is the most common way. And I really should have specified restrictive because binge eating disorder is pretty common in both sexes. Although orthorexia is also kinda coming into vogue for both sexes.

      So if we add some weetabix to the morning meal it’s basically a perfect diet! I’ll start experimenting tomorrow, I’ve already ordered 30 bottles of wine
