Q. A typical day for me goes like this : I don't eat at all during the day. No breakfast lunch or dinner. Then around 10pm ill binge. Ill eat four or five meals in one sitting. I consume over 2000 calories during a binge, then the next day I don't eat because I feel so disgusting from the other night, and reapet the cycle. I honestly can't control this. Is there anyway I can break this cycle? I'm gaining a bit of weight from it and I'm desperate to stop
A. All habits take a little time (2-3 weeks) to develop and become a part of our every day lives. Start new habits that include eating proper sized portions earlier in the day.
Your current habit took time to develop you weren't born binge eating right.
With practice your habit of binge eating at night will transition to eating properly throughout the day.
If you get the urge to eat at night you'll need to find something to take your mind off of it. I will usually go for a walk, jog, exercise, read a book or anything else that requires using my hands, because watching TV leaves your hands free to cram into a bag of chips you know what I'm saying?
If I decide to exercise (35-45 minutes minimum) I'll always drink a small whey based protein shake after wards (20-25 grams of protein max) then take a warm shower and go straight to bed.
Ingesting a small amount of protein immediately following exercise will keep your body burning additional stored fat and preserve muscle for a leaner body.
Practice makes perfect and the sooner you start the sooner you'll change your habits.
Start today!
Everything in moderation...Everything!

how do you fix your diet after binge eating the night before?
Q. i usually don't binge eat, but last night i did, and now i am scared its going to show up all over. i have been trying to diet but i am always hungry, how can you control your hunger?? hoodia doesn't work for me. is there anything i can do today to make up for eating so much yesterday?? i try to exercise most every day
A. you just have to move on. if you obsess about the binge eating from last night and continue to worry about it you are going to stress yourself out which isn't worth it.
just get back to eating right.
i am constantly hungry too so it's somewhat of a struggle to keep my weight the same. the ONLY thing that works for me is to eat a lot of small portions thruout the day. usually for breakfast i will eat a bowl of cereal or oat meal and then a sandwich, bowl of soup or a lean cuisine for lunch then i snack for the rest of the day on apples, oranges, dry cereal, yogurt and soy beans. i just calculate my calories out for the day and make sure that i don't exceed that in my daily snacking. also i drink lots of water, atleast 60 oz a day.

How to come off of calorie restriction diet to maintain weight?
Q. I'm 17, 5'6", and 110 lbs. Yes I know the bmi says i'm underweight but that's actually just my body type. I have lost 25 lbs in the past three and a half months, by restricting my calorie intake to 1200 a day. I do ballet 2 hours a day. I was losing weight at a rate of one pound a week, which is apparently a healthy rate.
I've only been eating healthy foods: fruits, veggies, fish, whole grain bread, lean meats, no processed foods!
I then had a "plateau" for about a week and a half, and on my birthday I binged, and started to lose weight again. Then thanksgiving came around, and I binged again a week later, and again I started to lose more weight.
I now know that I was eating too little and understand why the bingeing kicked off my weight loss again.
Now, I cannot help but overeat every night, now that I'm trying not to count calories. I've already gained weight, even though my binges only lead to 2000 calories.
So how can I come off of a calorie restriction diet in order to maintain weight?

A. Youâre asking THE question.
If you lost 25 pounds in the past three and a half months, eating like a sedentary little old lady, and think that you were losing weight at a rate of one pound a weekâ¦you donât know how to count (there are only 15 weeks in 3 and a half months).
25 pounds = 3500 x 25lbs = 87,500 calories of exercising, divided by 15 weeks = 5,833/weekly and 833 daily average of exercisingâ¦good luck with that if you ate only 1,200 calories, not even enough to cover your BMR (+ growth, as youâre -21yo).
110lbs + 25lbs = 135lbs so your BMR was 1,470 calories and now it is 1,370 calories.
Surely more than 1,200 calories. You can only find enough energy to exercise for 2 hours if you have an ED and an exercise addiction (but itâs not very pleasant, neither easy nor efficient).
You SHOULD have eaten enough calories to cover your BMR as now your body adapted to a low caloric intake and LOWERED your metabolism, making it very HARD for you to use your body fat. And then, as soon as you will eventually start eating normally again, you will make body FAT very easily, because you will have a lower metabolism and therefore you will REGAIN all the weight you lost and keep going up, unless you exercise A LOTâ¦like all day long (become a dance instructor).
Also, if youâre younger than 21, you need to eat more when having a growth spurt so you donât stunt your growth (you get ravenous).
You donât have a healthy diet, even if you eat healthy food, if you donât eat enough and send your metabolism down the drain. One of the unhealthiest things you can do to your body while growing up in your teenage years. Donât feel bad, you have a mental disorder, an ED, and need help.
