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.
What effects could serious binge eating have on the fetus?
Q. I've looked into effects that are a result of anorexia and bulimia, but what effects result from binging?
A. well actually binge eating is very very harmful to your little one.
first of all you will gain lots of extra weight that your body does not like at all, and it is very dangerous for a over weight women to have a baby. In many situations the mom, and baby die, if not the mom the baby will die. you just want to make sure you eat lots of healthy foods, and drink lots of water, and juices.(and when I say lots I don't mean binging!!!!!!)Oh and here's something else to through out there, don't drink liquor, or smoke cigarettes, or do drugs. that will also kill your little one, and if not kill it give it many health problems for the rest of its life!!!!!!)

What happens if you eat a lot of carbs while on the atkins diet?
Q. I have been on the atkins for awhile and was just wondering what happens on a day I have a binge and eat a lot of unhealthy carbs?? Do you just continue eating no carbs after all the carbs you eat???
A. It puts you out of ketosis, and your weight loss may stop until you're back in. I do not recommend that diet at all (been there/done that). It's a very unhealthy diet, and most people who use it regain some or all the weight they lost in the year after they get off of it. Your body needs healthy carbs...whole grain products...just avoid white/refined foods...
Atkins is a good diet to increase your cholesterol, and leave you tired and maybe even smelly...the side effects vary but can be unpleasant. I stayed out of energy on it, even though I dropped 35 lbs in 3.5 months (gained 20 of 'em back the following year)...
