How do i do anorexia?
How do i do anorexia?
A. Anorexia is better than bulimia if you really want to go that extreme. Bulimia burns the interior lining of the digestive system.

How fast can I expect to lose weight?
Q. As of the last couple weeks I have been really working hard at losing weight. I exercise every day by running 2 miles, do pushups and crunches, and an assortment of arm and leg exercises. I also eat twice per day, one meal of a sandwich with meat and cheese, and one meal of a bowl of cereal. Any other time I'm hungry I eat fruit. The problem is I'm just not seeing any results when I look at myself. Is there anything else I should be considering, or am I too impatient? I want to be fit within a month.
A. You are probably not seeing results because you are starving yourself, and certainly are not getting enough protein. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.
Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.
Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.
Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.
In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.
Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.
Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.
Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.
Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.
An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.
Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

How can I stop from binge eating?
Q. Lately I have been binge eating a few times a week. I'm still a bit petite, but my clothes are really getting tighter daily, and my face is puffing up. I really want to stop eating. I "crave" food when I'm not even hungry, and I keep thinking about eating something else even though my stomach is so full that it's actually painful. At that point, I don't really want to eat, yet, my head keeps on wondering what else I can eat. And then, I'll just stuff something else into my stomach. I apparently don't have a lot of self control when it comes to food... What is wrong with me? How I can stop?
(and I'm not an adolescent teenager, I'm in my 20's so its not like a growth spurt or anything)

A. Something is eating you (no pun intended) and making you behave this way. You need to give your self a bit of a self analysis and consider what elements of your life you're not happy with as this sounds like a coping mechanism. Have their been any changes in your life lately, or any emotional upheavals?
In the interim, don't surround yourself with quantities of food that you will reach for. If you feel that urge - get yourself out of the house and go for a walk or watch a movie or get engrossed with a good book.

How do I eat healthy in high school during the school year?
Q. I'm a teenager and I want to focus on eating healthy this school year. When I look on the internet, I found back to school recipes and ideas, but I don't think they are tailored to the needs of a teenaged girl (ya know, iron, potassium, and all that stuff.) And my taste is a little more sophisticated than a little kids. But I still want good, healthy food this year. Anyone have websites/recipes that they recommend?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Peace be upon you, my friend:
First of all, I am a fifteen-year-old girl. I am at a normal weight, and I am really attentive to what I put inside my mouth. So, I will tell you how to eat healthy because I know that eating healthy is very important to prevent any diseases, such as heart diseases, brain diseases, and so on.
1. Eat breakfast
2. Never try fad diets: they won't support your brain or your body, you will only temporarily lose weight, and will, very, very soon, gain more than your original weight!
3. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. Eat a variety because all types are good
4. Make sure you eat whole grains, like whole-wheat bread instead of white bread, oatmeal, and brown rice rather than white rice. Bran is also very filling, so you can put 1 teaspoon of bran on top of your yogurt
5. You should limit your intake of sugar as well as of processed foods, lke: fried foods, pop, sugar cereals, and french fries
6. You should make sure you get plenty of servings from each food group. This is what I do (and do not worry, I do not gain weight because this is considered a very good healthy, balanced diet) You need to get some protein which is found in meat, chicken, fish, eggs, beans, or soy products
7. You need to get about 2 servings of dairy per say such as: cottage cheese, yogurt, or milk
8. Do not cut on the fats, you should eat some healthy fats each day, such as: olive oil, canola oil, nuts, and fish)
9. Fish is really, really healthy. You can eat about 2 fish a day. It will definitely improve your memory, your mental abilities, and a lot more. You should be eating about 2 meals of fish each week. If not, you can try "Omega-3 pills": they are for general health and well-being. I take one twice a day during meals to reduce cholesterol and to make me more attentive, and more fresh!
10. Spread out your calories
11. You need to drink LOTS of water
12. You should eat salad, because it consists of vitamins as well as minerals, which are rich in nutrients and so beneficial for your health and well-being. I make a simple salad that consists of only cucumber and tomatoes. Sometimes, I add some carrots and lettuce to it
13. You can get your favorite treat every now and then. Make sure you do not deprive or starve your self. I promise it would lead to binge-eating (Don't remind me of the regretful feeling I have after binge-eating. It is a feeling that sucks!)
14. You should exercise 3-4 times a week. I personally do some home exercises. For example, I do the squats 15 times, I jump the rope for 10 minutes, I do some crunches for my abs, and so on.
15. If you do so, then you are going to stay healthy and fit
So, let me give you a simple example of what I eat:
Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs
1 whole-wheat toast with cottage cheese
1-3 cucumbers
Milk with cappuccino, OR tea with milk, OR skimmed milk with oatmeal (I use skimmed milk)
* I can use lite yogurt instead of skimmed milk
After 1-2 hours from breakfast, I treat myself with 1-2 pieces of different fruits, like a banana and an apple, an apple and a peach, 15 pieces of grapes and a peach, or with an apple, etc.
Lunch:
Grilled beef or chicken with green salad
A slice of whole-wheat toast
Dinner:
1 yogurt (lite)
1 piece of whole-wheat toast with cottage cheese
1 boiled egg
What do you think?
P.S. You do not have to follow this balanced diet, I am actually trying to lose a bit of weight :-)
