i wasn’t expecting this... 2/12/19

Bullshit.

There's nothing about this Optavia diet that suggest it would be filling, or that it would help with cravings. Nothing at all. If anything, it'd be the complete opposite - all of the 'feelings' are tiny little processed packets of junk.

But she can't admit that she was hungry (she was probably starving, considering the calorie amount and the tiny volume of food). So we're going with the physical argument - it 'wasn't healthy'.

To sum it up - it wasn't her fault. Again.

"ate 1600 calories instead of 900 cals"

So like she ate a reasonable amount of calories for a normal sized person, and less than she normally would. How is that an excuse for her quitting?

Any excuse will do. That's how addicts operate.

I heard it from my crappy laptop speakers. It registered on the richter scale. My friend had to watch the video a couple times.

It's more of a low-tone squeak than a motor sound. I didn't notice it the first time I watched it and probably wouldn't have at all unless I was looking for it.

She freaks out whenever something actually takes away her cravings. When she was on Phentermine she ate a bunch of pizza (which she claims to not even like) even though she wasn't hungry, and used blood pressure as her excuse to quit, even though it was likely high due to her getting herself worked up over high blood pressure.

Yeah gorl, I don't think your viewers are either.

In what world would a doctor say "don't eat too little" when you're the size of an adult manatee

 

[Gracie's Ghost]

I know this sounds lame, but I think maybe Amber doesn't know who she is without overeating and being fat. She can say she has a passion for writing all she likes, talk about how much she loves her "furbabies" all she likes, but there's literally nothing else in her life, no interests other than food and conspicuous consumption. So I'm not seeing any great success in her future.

the same world where a dietitian fields clients randomly through instagram and tells them that burger king and diet drinks are fine so long as they stay under a few thousand calories/day

the same world where a doctor would have a morbidly obese patient who has leg pain, give them a once over and say "you're probably fine it's not a blood clot"

the same world where 900 calories a day is exponentially more damaging to a person's health than 6-10 thousand calories a day

we know who she is, that's whats important. Our gorl will always be the dainty sea cow in our hearts.

 

[Eric Harris]

Guys our gorl was totally only concerned for health reasons, that is literally the only reason she quit the whole diet, it wasn't because she couldn't binge eat all day, health reasons only, she needs to go back to her dainty little 8000 cal daily for her health and well being.

It's been discussed before, and by more eloquent people than I, but Amber's entire personality is "the fat girl". If she didn't have that, she would literally have nothing. That's why (or at least part of the reason why) she doesn't actually want to lose weight -- what would she be without being a fat sideshow? Just another boring, cunty waste of space that nobody would have the time of day for.

 

[Kukkamaaria]

Has she been deleting comments on this video? The top comments atm are only 3-4 hours old. 12 hours ago there were a lot more top comments and boy they were pissy at her.

I just don't recall Amber touching the comment section too much.

 

[8008135]

Probably. She did it with her previous video as well.

 

[DaintyHole]

She is no different than the people on 600 lb life, that she seemingly puts herself above, denying that as her own reality. When they're put on a strict diet (even in the hospital), they complain about how little calories they're getting and are concerned they're going to starve.

Look. As long as you're eating something with actual nutrients and not just fat and sugar, you are eating healthy and you will be less malnourished than you currently are with the lack of actual fresh food in your diet. (Tube turkey, canned slop, and orange chicken don't have much to offer other than sodium, sugar, carbs, and preservatives). If you eat right and reduce your intake dramatically, it will force your body to go after the life time supply of fat you have stored. Hence why you're losing weight on such a restricted diet. That's how it works. That's how any diet works.

Optavia would have technically worked, and it would be fast results with someone that size. Maybe that's why she ran from it? She didn't want to lose 40lbs a month.

tl;dr: If you aren't fine with dying in the next 2 years, you'd make the changes you need to and you'd stick with it. She clearly doesn't want to change and appears to be just fine with living in the moment, rather than be concerned about going to bed and never waking up.

 

[CreedenceLeonoreGielgud]

While in theory she could consume nothing but water for years and survive on the fat alone, there is a problem with consuming less than about 1500 calories a day regularly. Your body doesn't just absorb its own fat at that point, it will absorb muscle mass too indiscriminantly because you are technically starving. Now for a normal human that's not too horrible, you can work out a little more, but for Amber the ONLY thing allowing her to stand up at all is the natural muscle that a deathfat builds from carrying their own weight every day.

Non. Protein in muscle is the body's least preferred energy source and it will be the last energy source it goes to for calories.

After a few days of eating nothing or next to nothing, Amber's body would have gone into ketosis and would be fueled primarily by her body fat. Even if you are mildly concerned about protein loss, you could simply make it a protein modified fast #LeanProtein #NotChickenNuggets

 

[ghosttown17]

She's a food addict. The only way for her to really be successful is if she slowly began limiting her calories and limiting the number of times she goes out to eat.

I think the only way for her to be successful is for her to be admitted to an inpatient facility. She's proven she can't control herself around food. And I don't think that's ever going to change without intense supervision 24/7 by medical professionals.

 

[Concerned Vagino-American]

I'm actually beginning to think she won't make it to 2020. If she gains as quickly this year as she did last... our gorl is a goner for sure.

This will be a fitting funeral for her, minus the people:

I agree. She can't do this on her own. But if she did, she can't just stop completely.

RIP new water pitcher, we barely knew you. Hope you enjoy your eternal rest in the back of the cupboard next to the suuuper cyuuute Pioneer Woman water glasses and the crockpot that will never see the light of day again.

And in case anyone is wondering what Amber's diet looks like now, Eric gave us a peek at the "family dinner" the roommates had in yesterday's vlog. After 3 inscrutiating days of eating lean and greens, our girl is back on carbs, y'all!

 

[Malibougie]

Ate 900 calories a day and lost weight in the past --> Eating 900 calories a day will literally kill her. Had to eat a fuelling even though she totally wasn't hungry, had no cravings, had great energy, etc. --> NO REALLY, 900 CALORIES IS A DEATH SENTENCE

I had to listen to this part twice to figure out what the hell she was getting at: "I thought 800-900 calories is not sustainable for someone my weight, and if I was to ever try eating more than that, I would gain weight." (Starts around 16:10.)

So... I'm going to be extremely charitable and assume there was some actual human-like reasoning involved at some point in this mess. Essentially, there's two ideas in that quote: First, that she can't subsist on 900 calories a day for more than a day or two. Second, as she loses weight (hypothetically, of course) her daily caloric requirements would decrease.

Assuming both these premises are true, either one on its own might be a sensible reason to go off the plan. But when you mash them together, they completely cancel each other out -- 900 calories can't simultaneously be unsustainably low (meaning she couldn't stick with it long enough to lose any significant amount of weight) and also be the maximum she can have without gaining weight.

In other words, it's worse than just rationalizing going off the program; whether she meant to or not, she pretty much just declared that losing weight is a logical impossibility, not just a physical one.

It's not news that she contradicts herself a lot. We know she's neither bright nor articulate (nor especially honest, even) and that she'll grasp at whatever excuse she can, but man -- the disorganized thinking/speech is really getting bad.

It's almost as though she has some sort of health condition or something that's slowly damaging her brain.

thank you dear one for this. I thought I had a mild stroke during this part of the video. It was just all jambled up and I couldn’t make any sense of it.

It’s probably because these people eat when they’re not hungry, ALL the time, so they have no idea what actual hunger feels like. When they suddenly become actually hungry, the sensation must be terrifyingly unfamiliar.

this, and she probably didn’t know what to do with her hands. Like smokers who are used to the hand to mouth habit. She is the same, but with food. She probablywas restless because her hands had so much free time.

thumb in the back doesn't even care like it's just the usual to have AL's smelly farts.

Never heard of a doctor you could email back and forth for advice either. maybe for questions about medication if the dr. is still prescribing AL blood pressure meds? Let's not forget AL has a tendency to not tell the entire truth with these doctor talks and visits so the doctor probably told her to eat a few hundred more calories- AL took that as an excuse to drop the entire program and go back to her McDs diet.

pl time. I have a patient portal and send my dermatologist pics and they send in rx’s through the portal. It’a really convenient. I mean some times I do have to go in, but if it’s straight forward it saves everyone time to use the portal and they encourage patients to use it. Now pretend I said “some” instead of “I”, or bring on the PL ratings it’s fine

she said she took measurements before optavia... not sure why she couldn't measure her bra size. torrid has a size guide on the website. they even have 50b and 50c sizes unless those bands don't fit around the upper back boobs. eventually those 7 year bra/s are going to snap.

no measuring tape would fit around her, and math is hard for her and Becky. They probably tried and gave up.

Now that her last chance to live is over and done can we just have a what’s left of life celebration and stop pretending like weight loss is ever going to happen. Ben & Jerry’s for every meal. I wouldn’t hate on her if she owned it. I bet she couldn’t even stick to that though. She has an aversion to stick-to-itiveness
