how many calories do I eat a day to lose weight?

Q. I am a 315 female age 32 height 5ft 6inches. I desperately need to lose weight and have tried everything there is to try it seems. Even acai berry and weight loss for idiots. So now I am back at the calorie thing. I am just worried about getting really hungry and binge eating at night. how many calories do I need to lose weight?

A. Ever heard of Medifast? You eat 800-1000 calories a day...and no, you arent hungry all the time :)

I'm 20 years old and extremely overweight. I'm in the same situation you are in. I have tried everything to lose weight. I found Medifast and I knew this would be my last hope at losing any weight.

I started one month ago on July 15th, and today, I swear to god, I am down 20 pounds (and not at risk for diabetis anymore). I went for a check up yesterday and rubbed it in my doctors face for doubting me. HAHA.

I know what its like to want something so bad, but struggle so hard and get no where.

I'm also a free health coach with Medifast. I offer discounts and big coupons. Plus, isnt it better when someone is going thru the same thing you are, and you are able to share experiences?

How hard is binge eating on your body?
Q. I know "binging" is bad for you. I claim that I'm a health freak, which in turn causes me to occasionally come to a point of nutritional insanity in which I compleatly binge late at night, mainly on ridiculous amounts of fruit loops and peanut butter sandwhiches. So here's my request...could someone please lay out for me, the negative effects on binge eating, and what it does to your body(in terms of sugar levels, blood pressure, anything like that). Please please be as graphic as possible. I find I keep myself healthy by seeing things like icing as diabetes, and french fries as a heart attack. Please help scare me away frm binge eating with some graphic explaination of what eating a lot, quickly does to the body. Thanks a heap!

A. Remember Linda Carpenter, she died in her early twenties from binge eating, she caused herself to throw up so much, she had an electrolyte imbalance and died of a heart arrhythmia. Sweetheart, I don't think grossness in the manner of death will help you. Your obviously intelligent, and from your question it's obvious your no stranger to what binge eating does to ones body. I strongly suggest you seek medical/mental intervention, an eating disorder cannot be cured via yahoo answers, oh I wish it could. But lets get serious, we can offer advice, tell you the consequences, which again you already know. It's going to take professional help, intervention, dedication, therapy, guts, and determination. But YOU CAN DO IT. NOW GETTY UP AND GO AND GET HELP. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.

How can i stop my night time binge eating?
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.
