How much weight do you gain from binge eating?

Q. I have been binge eating for two days. I eat anything and everything I want which is thousands of calories i am sure of. I normally eat healthy do my cardio and weight lifting. I have some things going on which is causing me stress and eat. How much weight can a person gain from two days?? I hope i can just poop it out lol!! How long will it take to lose the weight, if any, I have gained?? Thank you in advance..

A. Let me tell you, you need to stop binge eating now because it will affect you and your weight. I did this for four days straight and I noticed a big difference. And I was hoping to poop it all out to but thats not how it works. This might be gross but as the food goes into digestion, all the calories you ate are taken into the body so you only rid of waste, not the calories. Oh and just to let you know if you eat junk and try to work it off, it won't work. Its like putting trash in a car for gasoline, just doesn't work. As long as you stop binging and exercise the weight you put on should come off.

Is it normal to binge eat when recovering from anorexia?
Q. I am recovering from anorexia as of a couple days ago and I was wondering if it is normal to binge eat! It takes SO much food for me to even feel full. I see most anorexics congratulating themselves for eating a piece of chocolate (or another fear food) and I'm over here like trying not to eat the whole bag. What gives?! Should I listen to my body and just eat? When will this stop -- I won't be THIS hungry later will I?

A. when i started treatment for Anorexia the same thing happend to me a few weeks into recovery. i simply couldn't seem to stop eating. not only had my appetite returned with a vengange, i was also actually hungry all the time and it took the best part of 3-4 weeks before the weight started creeping on slowly but surely. i'm not sure why this is, but i found that once i actually did start putting some weight on my appetite normalised on it's own. i did mention this to my treating doctor and he said that this is very normal and to just try to stay away from too many non-nutricious foods like crisps or chocolate, but it's ok to have these along with a nutricious diet. just don't eat nothing BUT cookies. apart from that, if you really can't resist having anything but these foods, just don't buy them. if you don't have them in your kitchen, you can't eat them. this is still something you need to say to your treating doctor, because some medications can cause excessive appetite too. Certain Anti-Depressants for example can increase appetite, though some other brands of Anti-depressants have the opposite effect and decrease appetite and some don't affect appetite at all.

Should I really give up everything I eat to lose weight?
Q. I am 5'4 and I weight 125 I would like to weight 119 iam not fat but I do have a little love handels which I want to get rid of by the summer. I work out 4-5 times a week nd cut down a lot of my binge eating and my guilty fatty foods :(... But I get really hungry in the night and wish to eat a sandwich and stuff.. Will that affect my weight loss?

A. This adds onto the eating at night thing, if you get hungry at around 11:00 or 12:00, somewhere around that time, DO NOT EAT, it means your body is digesting, if you just wait, the hungry feeling will go away quickly.
