Q. I have recently developed this horrible eating habit. I will eat until I'm full during the day (regular meals) but at night I get super hungry around 1-2am (every night) and I binge eat until I feel sick. It's not even just because I'm bored - I literally feel like I haven't eaten for hours. this habit is so strange and it developed recently. Afterward, I am unable to throw up (I've tried before). What can I do to stop this?
A. If you're worry about weight gain, which you will if you eat right before you sleep, eat some veggies or a fruit as a snack. They're healthy and you won't have to worry about puking it afterwards.
Is bingeing on junk ok every once in a while?
Q. Sometimes I'll eat some ice cream almost every night of the week and fast food about twice a week. Is that gonna make me get fat really quick or should I just stop while I'm ahead of myself? I'm 148 lbs and 5 foot 8 if that helps. How long would I have to binge, overeat and eat junk before I get overweight?
A. to lose weight u need to eat right and have a workout plan 5-6 days a week.u have to want it.
***try this u need to change ur diet.
eat six times a day. ea of ur 3 main meals needs to combine a lean protein such as chicken breast ground turkey turkey bacon egg whts also combine that with a complex carb such as a baked potato or sweet potato wild rice brown rice oatmeal or girts. also add fresh fruit and vegies to lunch and dinner. pick fruits low in sugar like pears and berries. if u get canned vegies get ones with low sodium. eat every 3-4 hrs keep ur metablism moving.
***also the most important part is WATER drink at least 64oz. no soda or juice. water will curve ur cravings.
u need to hit cardio 3-4 times a week running outside it great workout if u can hit a gym and cardio machine is great at least 30mins***
also add weight/strength training 3 times a week.u can google free weight traning guides anywhere. its not hard to find things for free.
***plan ur meals ahead of time.always have a healthy snack with u so u wont be tempted to eat fast food. also if u wait to late to eat u will get so hungry u will eat the world. make time to work out start out with 30 mins then increase.its ur body treat it right. ur diet alone can help lose weight but working out makes ur body look good. shows muscles and tight skin which is sexy and beautful. stick with it ur body will amaze u!!! to be healthy and look great u need both in ur life. good luck email me if u have further questions

What is the eating habits of a healthy person?
Q. A person of a normal BMI.
im overweight, and it is such a struggle for me to get to a normal weight.
i do binge eat at night, but barely eat anything during the day.
today i had a cup of coffee and im not hungry. i wont be hungry until around 5, but it's not really hungry, it's just a craving to eat really fattening food. and i tried eating well during the day, but i still have the craving to eat a bunch at night. i think i've trained my body to crave fattening foods at dinner time because i've done it all my life. how can i reverse this?

A. Studies have shown that some people can gain fat stores even on a semi starvation diet of 1000 calories a day - if it's composition is high carb, low fat.
You're not hungry during the day because your metabolism is still in sleep mode. Eating triggers the metabolism. Carbs trigger cravings for more carbs.
Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" - have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese - pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad - steaks - a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won't feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.
You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter - add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)
Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.
The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it's own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won't release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it's fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.
Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).
It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.
Carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin, the fat storage hormone. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Ground flax seed (4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.
As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.
I am adamantly opposed to low calorie dieting because most people lose a good portion of lean tissue (including vital organs like the heart) along with fat stores. There is no nutrition in fat stores, only energy.

What happens when you gorge yourself every night?
Q. My girlfriend has been trying to make me her "Chubby Hubby" and one way she's tried this is to stuff me to the point of bloatation every night! The weird thing is I'm not sure if I have been gaining weight and if so I'm wondering what parts of my body are paying the price for my big eating habits.
A. any time you gorge yourself, or "binge eating" it has a serious effect on your health. Many who do this late at night will find that its difficult to sleep at night, because so much food in your stomach your body is focused on digesting the food, and not about sleep. other than that every time you binge your stomach inflates, almost to the point of "exploding" your stomach may develop ulcers and tears which can lead to ripping and, like i said, an "explosion" of the stomach. Although on the lighter side, in your situation anyway, is that you WILL gain weight if you can actually pull this off WITHOUT killing yourself
