Took the cut to the extreme… what’s the best route

[slowsilver99]

alr so i had an ok physique up to 2024 and randomly fell into to the craziest binge eating disorder. i ended up gaining like 20 lbs in less than a year and never worked out and just did cardio so i nuked my lean mass while just getting fat. i ended up hopping on reta in january, stopped all cardio, and focused on lifting. i started off like 30% bfp and i wasn’t even that heavy i just had such low muscle mass. i ended up preserving all my muscle (literally nothing) and dropped 40 lbs. im like 8% body fat but literally at a weight that’s medically dangerous bmi 14 jfl

obviously the answer is to bulk but i would only gain like 2-3 lbs of lean mass a month max if im perfect w training and nutrition when i need to gain like 10-15 lbs of lean mass just to have the muscle mass of a normal human. im at a point where if i gain weight bc my lean mass is decimated, gaining like 5 lbs brings me up by like 10 bodyfat percentage points but if i lose any more weight i literally die

bruh wtf does one do in this situation

Lots of meat/fat, bulk aggressively while lifting heavy. It's not healthy to be so skinny especially during development age (which I'm assuming you are), When you build yourself up nicely then sculpt down again.
