The Good News: Here I am after six weeks. That's monitoring EVERYTHING that goes into my body. A month long detox, basically vegan, diet. I feel a lot better. My energy is way up and my sleep is a lot better. I've taken some time off being so strict with my food. Don't worry, I'm not going crazy. I'm starting a carb cycling method diet, that a friend of mine does. Again, for another month to see how I feel.
The Discouraging News: I've been using "My Fitness Pal" app on my phone to keep track of my calories in and calories out. Everyday, it has told me that I'm not eating enough and I'm going to go into starvation mode. I'm terrified to put more calories in my body. I know the right things to eat. I'm just struggling with putting more food in my body. Basically, this entry is a cry for help. I need to know how to balance all the activity I do, but also get the right nutrition.
I am losing weight, inches, gaining muscle. I didn't realize how much my activity effected my weight loss in this way. So, readers, you have some advice to give....I need it.

If you are really active then sometimes it really does take more calories to continue to lose weight regularly, it sounds counter productive but adding more calories and fat can make a big difference. The thinnest Ive ever been was several years ago, I was doing muay thai around 90-120 minutes 5 days a week and I ate a quarter to a half of avocado for breakfast every morning. Avocados are FULL of fat and calories but they are such a healthy source. Same with nut butters. As long as you are eating clean, eating good sources of grains and fats, and lean protein you should continue to lose weight even as you add more calories.
