I've been a bit stupid and now I need to get myself out of a situation I inadvertently created.
When I first started on MJ I got really high appetite suppression and couldn't eat very much - this was on 2.5mg and then 5mg when I eventually moved up as the starter dose stopped working so well. I didn't try to make myself eat all the calories I could have done, because I figured that I was trying to reset my relationship with food, and listen to my hunger cues, so forcing myself to eat when I didn't feel like it would be counterproductive. I was probably having less than 700 calories per day, and I did have some big losses over the first two months.
Now I'm on 7.5mg and my hunger has come back somewhat, but I think my body has got used to managing on very low calories, because if I eat more than that, I gain weight. I calculated my TDEE and it's just over 1800 calories (I'm old and sedentary) so I should be able to eat 1300ish per day and still lose.
Have I permanently messed up my body's ability to process normal amounts of food? Or do I keep on eating at 1300 calories and hope that everything eventually resets itself? I still have a BMI of 27 so I don't think I'm at the plateau stage yet
And yes, I know I haven't been very clever and I don't advocate for people eating barely anything.
