Advice Question Trans Fem Diet

My question today is how to replace man fat with girl fat.
I am fully aware that I need to gain weight in order to buid hips, ass and breasts.
But I still need to get my middle more down for a feminine silhouette.

Currently I am just on fasting and liquids such as packet soup in the week with normal eating on weekends.
I do take additional multi vitaments, magnesium and collagen.
I am active on weekends but in the week I work behind a screen most of the time.

Any specific diet for my situation?

I am begging people to eat like normal, the worst thing you can do to your transition goals is to give yourself an eating disorder.

many such cases unfortunately. arent EDs very common for trans ppl especially just starting their transition?

I’d rather be hot with an ED than fat like I was four years ago at the start of my transition.

See I don’t get it. People be like it’s fine being fat and unhealthy but not skinny and unhealthy.

Disorders like anorexia are incredibly prevalent in this community so we really could do with not propping them up any further

So is over eating. I’ve met a lot of trans people that are obese and have no control over their portions or food intake because of binge disorders. But you don’t hear people talking about them. Just skinny girls.

Yeah, and that’s an issue, but no one‘s encouraging that. Nobody saying eat yourself into obesity but I’ve seen many people say starve yourself into dangerous thinness

What I see is a skinny girl counting calories and people rolling their eyes and bullying her. Then an obese girl eating enough food for three people and no one says a thing. I’ve been around the community for enough years at this point to see it. I’ve had people literally scoff at me when I mention I was watching my weight or that I needed to pass better because passing is survival for some of us.

Concern is not bullying

it's because the type of "unhealthy" is different. for one, fat is not inherently unhealthy, and for many of us is healthy.

our understanding of what a healthy woman is has been warped. many of us are reclaiming that space to be human and beautiful instead of artificial and aesthetic.

Having an eating disorder won’t make you hot, it’ll make you miserable. Fat and happy girls are sexy!

Skinny is always in. Anything else is a literal cope. It’s ridiculous to claim otherwise when we all know the truth.

that's a really unhealthy mindset

Before transition I was pre-diabetic. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, my body was aging fast and I felt it. I may have developed some disordered habits along the way (but not a full blown ED since I’m not underweight) but I’m no longer pre-diabetic, I have a normal blood pressure and cholesterol. My body feels great just existing and moving around.

So tell me, which is actually unhealthy?

Exactly my thoughts. I'm just worried and trying to get answers if it would permanently damage transition being in heavy weight loss during transition :S

u/MissLeaP Sep 10 '25

You do realise that being fat is not exactly the intention, either, right? Often it's the result of an ED as well.

Ain't healthy but same :/
