I've found that depression is the ultimate dieting tool.

same dude, I recently got depressed, and i'm down 6 pounds in a week

Is there actual evidence about weight fluctuation with depression? I feel like I put it on and lose it pretty quickly. All I can gather, though, is that it messes with peoples' appetites, not so much that it physically affects your metabolism.

It's all just changes in appetite really. I find that having an empty stomach just seems to bother me less if I'm feeling down.

i feel like overweight people are the ones that binge eat when they get depressed.

i'm skinny, and when i get depressed, i lay in my bed all day, famished, but i dont care.

Thank God I started doing IF when I was bulking, I was crushing so much comfort food at the time. I didn't realize it then, but I was trying to replace my lack of friends and sense of purpose with delicious food. Hell, I still would if I weren't cutting right now.

I think it depends how depressed you are. Heavy depression leads to no eating and more sleep. Light depression is heavy eating to feel something.

i wish it was like that for me, it partly is im super skinny and have trouble eating cause i never feel like it, and being depressed or anxious never makes me feel hungry only non hungry :/

Yeah nothing matters why even eat

>feeling depressed
>eat 4000 calories worth of junk food just to feel something that isn't depression
