Q. Can I overcome binge eating without any professional help or telling anyone about it. How can I avoid a Binge and Stick to a very strict diet?
A. Try glutamine. It's a natural food supplement and it's very useful because it greatly reduces food cravings, including those caused by depression, stress, anxiety, etc. It has a remarkable effect on bad mood and that's one of the reasons why it's so effective on eating disorders. Glutamine allows you to control yourself without any effort. It's an aminoacid, i.e. a basic nutrient like vitamins, and it has no side effects because it's the most abundant aminoacid in our body, especially in muscles and in the brain.
I took about 12 15 grams of glutamine per day split in three doses and I lost about 95lbs in ten months without doing any exercise, I just began eating much less than before. Binge eating had plagued my life for more than twenty-five years but it disappeared within a couple of days and has never come back .
Glutamine must be taken on an empty stomach. Start with the first dose early in the morning as soon as you get up . Since it's a natural and safe substance you can increase the dosage as needed, up to 25-30 grams per day. Glutamine can easily be purchased wherever sports supplements are sold, and powder is much cheaper and more practical than caps/tablets. In sports it's used to protect muscles after heavy training and you won't find any reference to eating disorders on labels, however rest assured that it's absolutely amazing.

How hard is binge eating on your body?
Q. I know "binging" is bad for you. I claim that I'm a health freak, which in turn causes me to occasionally come to a point of nutritional insanity in which I compleatly binge late at night, mainly on ridiculous amounts of fruit loops and peanut butter sandwhiches. So here's my request...could someone please lay out for me, the negative effects on binge eating, and what it does to your body(in terms of sugar levels, blood pressure, anything like that). Please please be as graphic as possible. I find I keep myself healthy by seeing things like icing as diabetes, and french fries as a heart attack. Please help scare me away frm binge eating with some graphic explaination of what eating a lot, quickly does to the body. Thanks a heap!
A. Remember Linda Carpenter, she died in her early twenties from binge eating, she caused herself to throw up so much, she had an electrolyte imbalance and died of a heart arrhythmia. Sweetheart, I don't think grossness in the manner of death will help you. Your obviously intelligent, and from your question it's obvious your no stranger to what binge eating does to ones body. I strongly suggest you seek medical/mental intervention, an eating disorder cannot be cured via yahoo answers, oh I wish it could. But lets get serious, we can offer advice, tell you the consequences, which again you already know. It's going to take professional help, intervention, dedication, therapy, guts, and determination. But YOU CAN DO IT. NOW GETTY UP AND GO AND GET HELP. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.
How to deal with binge eating disorder BY YOURSELF?
Q. I'm positive I have binge eating disorder. It started 3 and a half years ago, lightly at first but 2 years ago it got worse. I tried to talk to my mother that all this is not normal but she thinks I'm overreacting and that it's all in my head. I don't really know what caused my BED but I want to deal with it and for now professional help is not an option so what can I do to overcome it?
P.S. I'm 21.

A. Please, please go into the hospital and get help for your BED. I'm 22 and just went through the smae thing. I did Inpatient for a week and then OP (outpatient) for 5 more before discharge. It has been overwhelming, sad, hard, difficult, and also life changing, beautiful, and wonderful. You will meet people who you will stay friends with for life. Don't be scared- if you are, that's ok too, only natural. I was TERRIFIED my first day when I went in, and by the end, I loved all of the girls (and guys) I had met and was sad to leave them, but on we must go into the world and away from the eating disorde.
We did 8:15 weigh in, breakfast till 9. then process group (talking about feelings and current day to day situations) until 10:30. then a snack. then spirituality or nutrition or something like that until 11:45. then lunch. then expressive therapy until 2. then we would break apart into various groups like restricting, binge eating, etc whatever you're dealing with. then another snack... and then home. in patient is the same kind of stuff just longer hours and more rules. even in outpatient though, you have to show your tray and show that you're not hiding anything. no exercising- everyone is on exercise restriction. no napkins or pockets where you can hide food. bathroom breaks are monitered. we also have to do challenge foods once a week that we would normally restrict, or binge and purge on. also meetings with dieticians, psychiatrists, and case managers and so forth. It's hard but it is SO worth it. It can't be any harder than staying in your ED, and the result of getting better is the more positive choice.
Best of luck- get well and be brave.
