I really like this board, because it's so anonymous. People here always offer great advice. I don't want you to take this wrong, but I would give the anti-depressants awhile to work before going straight into induction. I know you want to lose the weight, and yes, 8 pounds gained isn't good, but maybe you need to give your body time to adjust to all of the trauma it's been through. From your name - ex-vegan - I am assuming you have tried many strict eating diets before. Then it seems you skipped over to SBD, while not really doing that, you hopped over to Atkins. How long have you tried each diet before jumping to the next? I also saw you mentioning having a severe eating disorder in the past, and I am sure that did a number on your body as well. 800 calories a day? I've been there. I ate nothing but chicken boullion cubes for a straight month in my early teens to drop 6 pounds. Nothing anyone said made me listen, until the terrible pains kicked in and I started losing my hair. I know you are very sensitive about your weight, but there seems to be so many emotional issues around food for you, that I would back away from anything strict for awhile. I do think LCing would be good for you as a way of eating, try not to think of it as a diet. There are a lot more benefits to LCing than just weight loss. Good luck with what ever you do!
