if you can't lose weight: watch this 

GUYS THIS IS MAJOR: The IB Sweatshirt/ merch you've been asking for: bit.ly/3xlDLsj Follow me on *Instagram @zoeunlimited* for more of what I eat! Being a _master_ in failing my diets over and OVER , I feel responsible for sharing all the mistakes I made. Hope y’all won’t have to fall for the same diet traps :’))💜

"dont stress or you will put on fat" * tries not to stress* *stresses*

“don’t starve” me, who has an eating disorder: 👁👄👁 “don’t stress” also me who has anxiety: 👁👄👁

My mom used to tell me “if you starve you will get to a point where you just can’t hold it anymore, and then you will eat a lot of food, even more than before, and your weight will become higher, so if you wan’t to loose weight, stop eating unhealthy food, instead, eat MORE vegetables and natural food, adding exercise of course, and keep it has a habit.”

I wish I saw this when I was in year 9. At the start of 2019, I began to really starve myself because I was so desperate to lose weight (for a boy- wasn’t my best moments in 2019). I went from 90kgs to 73kgs within 3-6 months of cutting out meals. My mother and everyone was impressed by what I have done and my mother specifically said “Once you hit 55kg, everything will be great”. I wanted to impress her so I just starved myself, no food at all for 2-3 days and my body couldn’t handle it. I did indeed reached 67kg but my mental health and body started to really mess up. I was in the worse position in my life and it wasn’t until the start of 2020 I had changed. Remember people! growing and maturing really does exist! I found new friends, I found myself again and I finally remember why I loved food so much. Once quarantine happened in 2020, I ended up gaining back my weight and weighed about 73kgs, I was so shocked and became disgusted at myself that I gained back my weight I went back to starving myself. THIS DIDN’T DO ANYTHING, I ENDED UP GAINING MORE WEIGHT BACK. So here I am in 2021, I weigh around 75kgs now and I’m eating about 1,800 calories and doing daily exercises. I am more happier and fine than I was before, my mental health is better than it was before. My story probably wasn’t interesting but to those who think “well starving myself will get the job done” it will but it will come back to bite you in the ass. If you’re willing to starve yourself from amazing food just to see results, I suggest you don’t because the moment you eat again, that weight will come back. Make sure to watch this video because it helps a lot! I had wished it was there when I was younger so don’t make the same mistakes I did!

1. 1:50 You’re not eating enough. Instead: • resistance train • eat more protein • do hitt • moderate caffeine 2. 6:04 You’re eating to much Instead: • create small calorie deficit of 50-100 a day. (A calorie deficit is reducing you daily intake (1,000-2,000) by 50-100 calories. It is *not* eating Only 50-100 cal a day.) 3. 8:19 You’re plateauing your metabolism (your body got used to the workout and meal plan) To break the plateau: • reduce calories further (NOT RECOMENDED!) • resistance train to build more lean muscle that takes more calories to maintain 10:43 Biggest Secret: Patience (Ps. Y’all better appreciate this. It took way too long!❤️)

me: eating less for 1 week me: eating 3x as much the next week me: same weight lmao.

i’m a self conscious teen, and i was fr considering just not eating at all, despite what weight loss articles or whatever said. this really saved me from falling into what could’ve easily become an eating disorder, and i thank you for that. you’ve really opened my eyes and i now know how to loose weight healthily. it wont be easy, but we’ve got it 💪

I was doing a 800 calorie diet. I started feeling a little concerned since I was constantly feeling very weak and tired, and then this video popped up. Thank you for this, it was a eye opener!

I’m tired of being thick, i wanna be a skinny legend for once😔✊🏻

Me: eating Her: wanna loose weight? Me:pushes dish away Her: u gotta EAT Me: *grabs the dish again*

Seriously guys, starving yourself is not the way to go. I lost weight, but I became so depressed it didn't even matter that I lost weight. What's the point if you're not even happy with yourself?

I'll keep coming here to get motivation and keep y'all updated😊: Start: 74.4kg, 160cm (18 January 2023) Goal: 55kg💪 Update: Stopped going to gym for about 2 months 🤧 I'm currently 70kg -will start gym soon! (2 April 2023)

"You're not eating enough" Ad: You need to eat less Me: 👁👄👁

zoe: “your period will stop!” me: sounds good to me ma’am zoe: “your hair will fall out!” me: sounds bad to me ma’am

I loved that "not eating enough" is THE MAIN REASON you list here for people who struggle with weight loss. As someone who was anorexic and severely underweight about five years ago, I can tell you: DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF, YOUR METABOLISM WILL BECOME YOUR WORST ENEMY. Not only I gained all the weight back at some point, but I started noticing how easily my body would retain fat, even if I wasn't eating thaaaaat much in the first place. The ACTUAL secret to a healthy body: EXERCISE + CLEAN FOOD + ACTIVITY. Being sedentary IS THE ISSUE, NOT WHAT YOU EAT!!!! If you don't work on your activity levels, you'll get fat NO MATTER HOW LITTLE YOU EAT. And eating poorly KILLS YOU, literally. Thanks Zoe for bringing awareness, especially to young girls. It's hard to find a social media personality who actually did their homework.

This video has really helped me understand the ways in which to properly lose weight, and for me not to starve myself like I used to do. Thanks sm zoe!

Not me watching "why im not losing weight" after 1 week of diet

I mostly have a hard time with my thighs and my stomach :( edit: y’all. i wish i would’ve loved myself 2 years ago, but i didnt. and now that i’ve changed a lot more, i look at pictures from that time 2 years ago i made this comment, and i was like, really pretty. i was so insecure and i didnt see how pretty i was. now i’m even more insecure than i was before. sucks. i’m probably gonna see this 2 yrs later again and wonder why i hated myself then, too. so, love yourself, you guys. love your selves. you are not your body, you are your soul. your body is just your car, basically. breathe. it’s going to be okay.💜

Please know that I am so thankful for this video you posted, you helped so many people dodge dangerous rabbit holes, thank you.

You are honestly one of my favorite people and I love watching your content, even if im not looking to loose weight (which I am). And youve helped me loose weight the healthy weight instead of the wrong way and starving myself. You also helped me stay motivated! Ilysm ty!!🫶🏻

“you aren’t eating enough” my eating disorder: 👁👄👁

"We didn't gain weight overnight so we can't lose them overnight" I liked that lines😀😁 Thankyou for the likes😀💟 (This is the first time I got these much likes😂)

When I was 14 my period disappeared for months because I wasn't getting enough food in my diet and I would really recommend avoiding that because it's genuinely such a painful time😭

Its not that I cant lose weight, it’s just that I’m so tired and just have a urge to eat. This helped me, thank you

What you said here 11:05 is really an eye opener for me "you didn't gain all that weight overnight so don't expect to lose it overnight" I've had countless times in trying to lose weight and stops if I didn't get my expected results in a short time. Thank you.

As some with ADHD you kept my attention throughout the entire video. IMPRESSIVE.

I lost almost 20 lbs (in a year) by lowering my portions (I overate a lot), and then I stopped losing weight. After a few months, i completely skipped meals, and it only worked temporarily, as I would binge eat late at night.. but this video has really helped me!! And I can’t wait to take these facts to my daily like and then hope for better progress!!

im tired of being too scared to eat. it makes me want to cry

3:40 I speak from experience. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. Everything she says here is true. My personal story: In middle school I was bullied for my weight. I was 14 and about 180-198 lbs (from when I took my physical). Moving into highschool I wanted to lose weight. It started with changing my diet by cutting off some snacks. I started to see a difference and I quickly cut out meat from my diet and depended only on chicken (chicken breast preferably). Not only did I consume less than 500 calories daily, I exercised on top of that. Im ashamed to say this but I even started purging (forcing myself to throw up). When I would exercise, I would wrap a bag around my waist to sweat more (not knowing that it actually affected my water weight). By the time I got into highschool I took a physical in school and found out I was about 130 lbs. My period had stopped, I was always light headed in school and I started to lose A LOT of hair (I still do). I was about 5'5 and my height went down to 5'4. My skin color went from a caramel brown to white-grey pale, and I have to get checked cause I might have anemia now. My mental health was and still is really bad. I started to get anxiety and became really depressed. I eventually stopped exercising because my body would hurt everywhere and it would hurt even to carry my backpack (I was really weak/no muscles). Because of my poor diet I began to be tired, out of breath and at times I would be sitting in class and swear I could feel and hear my heart pound for a couple of seconds. I kept losing weight and my lowest was 115-125. It may not be super light but it was unhealthy for how fast I lost it. I thought I was happy because I was skinny and had a thigh gap like my friends but in reality I wasn't. I thought that by putting myself through all this was going to make me more confident from the outside and people would like me. I'm a senior in highschool now and I realized during quarantine that I was in a toxic environment at school. I recently tried eating normal again but my metabolism was so messed up I think I'm about 165-180lbs again lol. I want to lose weight again, but this time the healthy way. I want to love and take care of myself the right way.💜💜

Her: don’t stress Me: crying abt my 17 missing assignments- 😃

More people need to hear this. Starving yourself won’t make you thin it will just ruin you

Zoe thank you so much for your tips and experience! I am very young but I really want to build muscle and be strong. All my friends are like really skinny, sometimes I desperately want to be like them. But I’m trying to rebuilt my goal from becoming skinny to becoming fit, strong and healthy. You are my inspiration to keep going :) And keep investing in myself. Plis keep positing videos like this, I love them💗

I go on the treadmill 30 mins a day, and I also drink the “Kpop idol water” which is lemon water with green tea mixed. And I was able to lose up to 6-7 kgs in just one week. And it also helps me maintain my weight, and my skin started glowing. So I definitely recommend eating good proportions, and exercising daily, and also drinking tons of water

I feel like dieting doesn't necessarily mean to starve , it just means to eat more healthy and with small proportions...But the problem is that I wanna eat unhealthy 🤣

I love how fun you made this rather than stressful

You have no idea how grateful i am to see this video. I am currently going through the EXACT scenario you talked about in the beginning (yo-yo dieting). The summer before COVID I was really restricting myself on calories while also having to do intense dance routines every single day. I was really stupid at the time and didn't really consider the fact that fast results weren't healthy and that I was actually fucking my metabolism up. yes, i was at the thinnest i had ever been BUT once COVID hit and i pretty much never went outside, I eventually started eating normally again. which brings us to now, with my weight being actually much worse than it was before I started my yoyo dieting. i'm sorry for the ramble but i really just felt super alone with how much i messed up my metabolism and i didn't know if this was something i could fix or if this is something i would have to deal with forever now. honestly, thank you for this video.

so basically: Diet properly, without starving yourself, eat healthy, and work out The more muscle mass the more calories you'll burn without doing anything

Thank you much, my daughter did all the things you mention which prevented her to lose weight. Now I can understand why she couldn't lose weight.

"or think, you tried" that hit hardd 😭😭

"You're not eating enough" *kpop stars have left the chat* no hate btw :)

I can’t lose any weight even when it comes to delicious food I tried everything and still not losing weight I hope this video can help 🥺👍

I'm watching this after trying to make myself sick in the bathroom but couldn't suceed so now I'm crying my eyes out watching this

this has been one of the most helpful videos yet, thank you!

“We healthy but forgot portions” squad

“You’re not eating enough” *Me who eats one meal a day 👁👄👁*

I actually love you, I took loads of notes in this video and thoroughly appreciate it, ty baby

I really needed this video. Because of a variety of circumstances, I've gained quite a bit of weight this year, and I'm trying to build healthier habits without becomming obsessive or shaming myself. You've given some great suggestions that I'll be considering !

the thing with me is that i doesn’t feel hungry till the afternoon or late afternoon and sometimes i just don’t feel like eating. but when i do eat i think i overeat a little

"Except for my boobs" - truer words were never spoken

Me losing weight when I didn't care and just eat what I want vs me caring, starving myself and not losing weight :))

Finally!! My weight has been bouncing up and down for a year! Tysm for these tips

The reason eating close to nothing then eating normal and your weight skyrockets is because your body thinks it's going to starve again and it stores fat because it thinks it will need it

Zoe: Don't stress, stressing is bad for you Me: *cries in stress* f**k

this is the only educational/informational vid that I didn't skip in my entire life.

I WANNA BE SKINNY SO BAD 😭😭😭😭😭

I’ve been loosing pounds but I think I look the same 😩 My weight: 📉 My looks: 😐 Hey y’all, just wanted to say some words. I’m so fucking glad that 1 year ago I was overweight. Because if I had the body I always wanted I would have never purposely even thought of working out. Nowadays, working out is fun, it’s a great feeling of both pain and powerful. If you don’t feel like exercising then you’re probably bored of the same workout and want to try something new. So in conclusion if you don’t like your body: exercise. If you like your body: exercise. I promise you that you won’t regret it 💕😊💪

Remember y’all: Stay safe. If u are to focused on weight you MAY get a ed. Stay safe while dieting and don’t go on websites that tell you are fat and ugly for eating. Stay safe 💗

This is THE best weight loss guide. Very very helpful. Honestly not complicated at all an super educational at the same time. Helped me realize that I can do it. It’s simple and it takes time, but it’s realistic and honest, all the same, encouraging! I loved it, thank you!

ive been starving myself for legit 1.5 years. I’m so tired and I’m not at my goal weight. I yo-yo an awful lot and I know I really need to get my metabolism up. I used to binge eat for YEARS before I went in the opposite direction and now I need to find a balance. Im neither fat nor skinny but I want to be healthy and lose fat I don’t need. i’ve lost all my muscle and this video really helped me and reminded me what I need to do and what I have been fearing for so long. thank you for existing and making this video🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Did I just learn what does "diet" means ?

Amazing video Zoe 🦋

Its been 16 days since i started starving. My calories intake was 300-400. THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY EYES 👁👄👁

Thank u zoe this video helped me lost 44lbs in six months love you ❤️❤️

iconic lines "where the fat goes everywhere except for my boobs" "you've successfully started stopped loosing anything else, other than your hopes"

Zoe: " You're not eating enough" Ad came in : Wanna lose weight? You need to eat less. 🙂

this was like a wake up call to me, thankyou

You're so right about the intense calorie deficit destroying your metabolism. I used to have a 600+ calorie deficit daily (dieting + intense cardio) and I lost a lot of weight.. I slowly gained all of it back, especially since the pandemic started, and now I noticed my metabolism is fucked up. I can't maintain the same weight I used to, no matter what I eat, I either stay the same weight or keep gaining. I never used to have this problem. Even if I ate too much, I'd always be around 52-55kg, now I struggle to go under 60 :(

Wait a damn MIN! you're 22!? YOU LITERALLY LOOK 15 😭. Come on don't be shy, give us your skin care routine ❤️

watched this before, rewatching because i need it now desperately

My brain this whole video with an eating disorder: 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀no no NO LORD SAVE ME

Guess who is crying about body image and trying to kickbox her pain away at 2:41 am? ME HAHAH :')

When she said u didn’t gain all the weight overnight I was shocked Bc I gained 5 pounds from thanksgiving dinner I- 😑

I love the way you explained this, you make me feel un-stressed as soon as I clicked. I will do a 10 day challenge (that is - After my period ...), I will comment again when I'm finished. Hope me the best! :)

I'm starting tomorrow, wish me a great luck, y'all. current W&H: 68kg 151cm goal W: 53kg

*me: try'na lose weight* *also me: sees a lonely cAkE in the fridge*

Zoe : "Did I just High five myself?" Me : "yes, like four times in this video"

Please eat everyone because I used to think that eating less and working out more would help everything. Nope! I used to consume 700 calories a day which wasn’t enough so please eat even if you feel like your putting on weight by doing so as long as you keep your body moving physically then it works much better for your body :)

It's been 10 months... But she's right! I wish I watched this before 😭😔 I started to starve myself for a week and then in the 3rd day I got a really bad diarrhoea for 3 days... Tysm zoe!!!

1. You're not eating enough 2. You're eating too much 3. Plateau How to break the plateau: 1. reduce your calories (not recommended), and 2. Build more lean muscle that will take more calories to maintain

I was trying so hard to be diet..but..all by siblings....are.. eating my favourite food Infront of me...

Much love to her channel for clear info 👏

as someone with an ed its such a slippery slope. i always am shedding hair like run fingers through it stuff falls out i could probably make a wig within a month, i have ibs-d and a lot other immune issues and its made it x10 times worse, all you do is crash you have no energy so many tests i have had that i sleep through or circle random answers bcs my body doesnt have enough energy. all i do is sleep and think about food i blow through a pack or more of gum a day before u get on the train dont also havent had period for 5+ months...

Me trying to loose weight before school *doesn’t eat that much* My grandma: eat more 🙄 Also my grandma: your so fat don’t eat as much 😔 Me: 😃✋

It’s the still dreaming about my thanksgiving meal while also thinking about weight loss for me 😌

I really appreciate this video, it isnt praising or trying to sell having an ed

I’ve been working out every single day, but I keep feeling like I’m just getting fatter and fatter. I hate my jawline, and I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I’m so happy you made this video, I can’t say how thankful I am. ❤

Honestly, thank you for this. I just went to the doctor about a week ago and got tested for COVID, but the real travesty to me was that I was weighed and realized I had gained a lot more weight than I imagined. Since then, I’ve been trying to eat as little as I can (without being suspicious) and I’ve been watching weight loss videos to see how I can lose the weight fast. Thank you for helping me realize that it’s okay and actually good to eat! And that it takes time to see realistic results. I will definitely be incorporating these tips into my daily living and lose weight the healthy and sustainable way ❤️

_i am recovering from an ed without professional help because the pandemic gives me fricking panic and i don't want to go out at all. i'm experiencing how awful the yo-yo is and I really hope that if someone is going through something similar they can come out of it and see the light._ _and please never go on extreme diets, they don't work, only bring you health and mental problems._ _good vibes everyone and love you soooo much zoe💓💓💓_

thank you very much, I was having serious problems with food, I was afraid of getting fat from eating a meal, this video helped me to get back to eating properly ❤❤

So, i have an eating disorder and last year i just stoped eating. I ate NOTHING for many months until my hair started falling out, my period was gone, my metabolism was bad and i was bloated all the time. It was HORRIBLE. But now i've started eating again and i'm getting better. So please don't starve yourself. It really doesn't help and actually just makes everything worse. Stay safe!

"Try not to stress" Me : *stresses over how not to stress*

Soo.. is anyone like... “ I will be an skinny legend buuuuttttt... LeT mE gEt One more SnAck” Edit: dang ! Thank you so much for 1.2k likes... never received this kind of likes in meh life’s!!

My weight finally normalized after I stopped sitting so much/being more active, AND being less stressed. The nice effect of exercise or even just walking 10k steps a day is that it destresses me.

I gained a lot of weight due to a severe depression and anxiety disorder. I couldn’t lose the weight until I treated my mental illnesses. My brain healed and so did my bodyx

"That somewhere is the fat tissue all over my body, except for my boobs." Same girl, same. Except for my case, the fat stored mostly in my thighs and booties.

ok can we just talk about her outfit, it’s so cute

Gurlll your such a vibe, love it also really educational thank youuu

I just watched this video to day and I was like what? I was starving myself for nothing? Thank you for informing us I was doing it all wrong.

Me: I'm not getting fat I can eat anything i want Also Me: Searching how to lose weight in 10 minutes🤔🤔
