Q. I am fifteen and have been on a strict but healthy diet for the last six months or so. I reached a healthy weight that i was happy with and have managed to maintain it for a few months however, for the last few weeks i have recurrently been binge eating and i can't seem to control myself- how can i get my health back on track before i gain back all the weight and my binge eating gets even more out of control?
A. I have been having almost the same problem, I went vegan and began running doing yoga and kickboxing and lost about 50lbs. I think it may be because i deprived myself of things i loved like chocolate, and snack foods like chips and i hardly ate any fat. Try to keep cut up fruits and fill yourself up with that. Its worth a try im trying that starting today. I have been struggling with binge eating for months and i gained 14 lbs in one week. I eat until i am uncomfortably full and almost in pain. Its so ridiculous but hard to control. Let me know if u make any progress, good luck and ur not alone in ur struggle
How can I overcome binge eating alone without any professional help?
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.

What are the signs and symptoms of binge eating?
Q. For most of my life, I have been chubby or fat. I had a baby almost four months ago, and now, everytime I eat, I feel guilty, but it makes me want to eat more! It's really all that makes me happy anymore. That and compulsive shopping. I just want to know what the signs and symptoms are for binge eating.
A. Binge eating is eating little-normal amounts of food and then out of the blue consuming portions that are in great excess (i.e. eating normally all day and then eating 6 candy bars later, etc...) If you consistently eat in excess than that is something different.
I also suffer from binge eating. I say suffer but really it is my own doing. I too feel like it is one of the only things that makes me happy. Usually I am not a compulsive shopper but this week I have been.
I just really came to the realization that I needed help. I hope you are able to come to grips with the reason for your binging and deal with it appropriately. Good luck!
