Q. Many of them started binge eating and died of this. Why?
A. In some camps they gave the Jews the rations they had and they wolfed them down, then the Doctor who was with the soldiers, said, they have to be given the food slowly, you must take it all away from them, so that they do not die of the shock of sudden more food than they had been consuming. The intestines were not used to the large amount of food.
You cannot starve a man and then let him eat a banquet.
People who have lost over 40 percent of their body weight, have to be started out on soups. fluids, milk.
Ok: Starvation creates a condition called (Inanition ) In this state the patient should be started on fluids, dextrose, small amounts, The stomach is unable to accept large amounts of food, the organs may rupture, especially the intestines, which become thin when a person is starved. Large amounts of food can cause death. Whole studies have been done on the different treatments of the Concentration Camp Survivors.
When a patient enters a hospital having lost 40 percent of their weight, due to say an efferent loop obstruction, the doctors insert a tiny tube into the heart muscle, this tube is connected to lipids, (fluids which will nourish the body), now the doctors will calculate how many drops per minute, the patient should receive, the interns will ask why not turn the machine up to maximum output, and the Physician will remind them of the Auschwitz, Bergan Belsen studies which concluded that people who have been starved, cannot in all safety be given large amounts of food. Death can occur.

How do I stop binge eating when dieting?
Q. I'd really like to lose a stone and a half and everytime I try to diet, ie. eating 3 meals a day and snacking on fruit, the good work lasts for about 2 weeks and then I end up bingeing on chocolate and other baddies. Is there anyway to end this pattern, because it's soul destroying!
A. Its all mental. I found an article I think may help. Enjoy
Are you a 'look-and-lose' dieter? Have you studied every diet ever created, read a zillion diet books, and yet are still unhappy with your weight?
Do you look at yourself and say, "I'm fat", or "My hips are too big"? Many of us look in the mirror and immediately compare ourselves to those 'perfect' human specimens we see every single day on TV, in magazines and in the newspapers.
Often we talk to ourself and make excuses, "It's my genes", "I'm much too busy to get fit", "I like myself this", as a way of protecting yourself from the way we see ourselves now and the way we want to be.
If we were to be truly honest with ourselves most people actually want to lose a few pounds - if we only knew how. >
For many people, the quest of finding the holy grail of dieting may become a substitute for actually making changes required to take the ill health out of your current diet. I know this was me. It wasn't until I stopped and took stock of the way I thought about myself, my body and what it was I was trying to achieve that I realised, it wasn't a particular diet I needed. Rather, I needed a new way of thinking.
The good news is you CAN achieve your desired body shape with the right thinking about yourself, an understanding of how to get optimal nutrition, healthy eating habits and how to incorporate activity into your lifestyle to keep your muscles toned.
But most important of all, you need a regular mental workout to keep your self-image in shape.
Self-image is closely connected to the success or failure of any goal you choose to seek after, but none more so that the goal to get yourself fit and healthy.
So how do you go about strengthening your self-image? Well fortunately your self-image, just like your muscles, will respond well to a regular work out. You can actually strengthen your self-image with a few daily exercises.
Exercise One - Self Examination
Start by compiling a list of all those negative thoughts your have about yourselfâ¦I'm undisciplined, I can't manage my time, I let people down, I can't succeed, I don't exercise enough. You will need to decide before you start this process that you won't get discouragedâ¦.these are things that you will admit to yourself but they most certainly don't have to control your life.
Next, compile a second list including everything you LIKE about yourself. Keep going until this list is LONGER than the first list you compiled. You might include things such as, I am a good cook, I can make people laugh, I contribute to the soccer club, my daughter loves the way I decorate her room.
Then, take your 'negatives' list and turn it into your 'potentials' list. You do this by creating a positive self-image to every 'negative' you listed. Instead of "I can't succeed", write a counter belief, "I will succeed".
Ceremonially throw out the 'negatives' list - you are saying goodbye forever! Burn them, trash them, destroy themâ¦.they are no longer going to be a part of your thinking about yourself.
Now, keep your list of potentials in a prominent place. On your refrigerator door, in your daily journal, or in a picture frame on your desk. Make sure you have them in front on your every single day so that you are reading them constantly and reprogramming your daily thoughts.
Exercise Two: You Can Be What You Want to Be
Now that you have your list of potentials⦠run your own visualisation stories so that you can 'see' yourself in a new light. For example, if your list of potential includes "I eat just the right portions", visualise yourself with a moderate portion on your plate, and feeling completely satisfied at the conclusion of your meal.
Read through your list of potentials every day taking a few moments of personal quiet time to reflect strongly on your visualisations. Try starting your day first thing in the morning and finishing as the last thing at night with visualising yourself being the person on your list, and doing the things you want to do.
Exercise Three: Keep a Journal of Your Daily Successes
Keep a record of all the positive changes in thoughts you have about yourself. We all have triumphs and 'failures'. You must record and remind yourself of the positive changes because our human nature will replay the negatives - sometimes blowing them out of proportion. It's important to nurture and celebrate the small steps you make every day.
Exercise Four: Go Easy On Yourself - You Are Beautiful Work In Progress
Don't listen to the criticismâ¦not your own nor that of others! Remember you are the designer of your self-esteem, do not hand this over to other people. You are way too important to give this away. Protect your role as creator of your own self-image and do not, take on board negative criticisms. We all make mistakes, and mistakes can be used to help us learn. Do not criticise yourself for being human and making a mistake. The only last mistake in the one from which we never learn to grow.
Exercise Five: Forget About The Past
The only moment you can live is the current one. You can't live in the future and you most certainly shouldn't live in the pastâ¦.the challenge is to take charge of our thinking so that we think in the same time zone in which we live!
For example we may be tempted to think about yesterday's failuresâ¦"If only I hadn't eaten second helpings", "If only I didn't reach for the chocolate cookies". If we concentrate on the mistakes of yesterday this will our brains to replay our failures and reinforce them to us.
Yesterday is over, today is where you liveâ¦.make sure that today you do NOT replay yesterday's failures and make your resolve to change TODAY.
Exercise Six: Resolve to Change Today
Just as you shouldn't live in the past, you can't live in the future. You can only live or change today. The oldest cliché in the world is perhaps one of the greatest truisms of allâ¦'tomorrow NEVER comes!'
There is no better time than now. So, no matter what excuses you may have to wait to take those healthy steps you know you should take, none of them are valid. Do it now, do it today. Resolve to make a different in your own life before you go to sleep tonight.
Exercise Seven: Write a Plan For your Life
This is your success plan. If you have not already done so it is time for you to create direction and purpose in your plans for yourself. Review your list of potentials and record next to each potential when you want to achieve this by.
Exercise Eight: Carry Affirmation Cards About Yourself
This is one of the fastest tools for your success. You are what you think. Strengthen your self-image every day by reviewing your thoughts. One of the easiest ways to do this is to carry affirmation cards in your wallet and review regularly. Affirmation cards are short bursts of words in business card that prompt and remind your self-image of your intentions. An example might be:
I can achieve anything that I put my mind to.
I will be satisfied with single helpings.
Try it, you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Exercise Nine: Change Your Eating Habits
Now that you have set the groundwork in place, you are now ready to change your physical habits. You are ready to add a balanced nutritious diet, healthy eating habits, regular exercise and relaxation.
By using these nine exercises daily to change your thinking habits, you will be strengthening your self esteem and unlocking your internal power to make a change in your life. Before you can change lifelong eating habits, you must first change life long thinking habits. We are what we think. We can't be something other than what we believe we can be!
So, do yourself a favour, liberate your self-image and then, see how much more effective your healthy living plan becomes!

How many calories a day should I eat to lose weight and how much calories should I burn?
Q. I weigh 149lbs and i'm 28 years old. I work out at the gym 3-4 days a week for an hour and a half. Right now i'm eating 450 calories a day and burning 550 calories at the gym. I really need to know how much calories I should be eating to lose weight with the amount of exercise i'm doing and how many calories should I burn.
A. It seems that you want to loose weight quickly and this could result in you gaining all that weight back when you eat normal again. However, I don't think you would have written all of this if it wasn't making you sad about your size. :( So; ill help- and ill give you a bare minimum of what you should consume: I think you should eat 1,000-1,100 calories and burn 250-300 calories a day Or 800-1,000 calories and no workout. You can even switch it up a bit- called zig zag; ex. 800 cals one day 1,000 the next, 1,100 the next and so on. Only eat like this for at least/most 3-4 months btw please! Also, Never let yourself go too low because it'll (body) start starving itself and you have a higher chance of binging (called binge eating) the next day, days, or even months after. Or you may gain weigh very fast and in a faster time than normal. Adults need at max minimum 700 cals to survive and for the vitamin consumption to occur in our bodies so never under this! Eating this low also is not seen as durable because you'll either again over eat and not want to eat healthy anymore or eat normally and still be frustrated because you won't be loosing weight; I can only tell you what I have been viciously reading and observing through the web. For me personally too, it is not psycho workouts, it's not shunning "junk" foods, it's not say ew omg too much fat; it's not saying no to sugar; it's eating healthy meals, 5-7 times a day. Its monitoring sodium intake too. For every calorie is 1 mg of sodium. A food with 90 cals though with 210 mg of sodium to me however will pass only because the fiber would make up for it (more than 5 grams). In general buy foods with more than 3 grams of dietary fiber though. So you see its about balance too- so you'll have more variety. Your meals should be small, relatively 170-175 per meal a day would work for you since you are loosing weight. I think you should buy a journal and write down what you eat. This seems to be more effective for people loosing weight. Pump up your protein too and eat about 25-35 grams of total fat. Read labels! Look at the total fat on products and make sure the fiber is 3 grams or more. Oatmeal, tofu, and bran cereals seem to hold very high fiber, moderate and healthy fat, and good protein. Eat red meat like once a week too. All thin people that stay thin for years and years have a game plan. We eat below or at our daily caloric needs. Whatever you do, just make sure that you are getting all your protein in which is the building blocks to brain functioning, mood, and general health. Always make sure that what you do is healthy and not going to make you faint or become out of control moody. When you feel like giving up, just say "no; I love myself-I'm going to do this because I can; and I will"! Be your own supporter and advocate! Continue eating very low; even if you aren't seeing dramatic results in beginning it is going to happen. Also, sometimes you could be eating so well and the scale tells you you are heavier when in reality you have lost inches and weight BUt since you have been eating so low, the body is "holding onto" this little bit of calories. This explains why people look slimmer and or fit/buy small clothing yet the scale portrays "weight gain". Trust me; the body is a little "slow" when it comes to big diet changes so most likely your body is trying to figure out what is going on and is this new diet permanent. Thus it is holding onto some fat perhaps too but the longer you keep going with your low calorie diet (even if it's 1,200) then the body will realize "boom! This is how it is and it will begin to even out and realize on the physical scale what you have been working so hard for. Studies even show that a person in a coma would loose weight if being fed (through food tube of course) 1,200 calories a day; so if you really count your calories accurately, you have to loose weight. Your body will definitely soon start to think after a couple of weeks, Hey, this person isn't giving me enough food; I gotta start eating away from the extra fat here!" you know? Just keep going...your going to Loose weight. Email me anytime on this journey.
