Q. Over the past year, I have gained a significant amount of weight. For about two months, I was following a good diet using the weight watchers online tracking tools. For the last month, however, I have completely fallen off the diet and have basically been binge eating the worst of foods for the past month. I have gained all the weight back and more.
Is it a good idea for example to fast for a day or two and only drink water to clear out my system? I appreciate any tips.
I am 24 and male.

A. Your body needs energy to lose weight. If your already binge eating the worst thing you can do for yourself is to fast for a couple days. While that will make you lose weight it's going to make you miserable and your more likely to binge as soon as your 2 days is up. If you starve yourself when you do eat your body is going to store it all as fat and you will more then likely intake more food then you need. Because your body is wondering how long it has to go without food again. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise. Reduce the amount of calories you eat and increase your levels of activity. It sounds like your having a problem staying full if your binge eating. Here are a few things that work for me
1) Drink a large glass of water before you eat this will cleanse your system and fill you up.
2) Eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones. eating throughout the day you are less likely to binge
3) Instead of using a dinner plate use a smaller plate, if you see a smaller plate full of food you start to think you are eating more.
4) Keep a daily food intake & work out journal - its a constant reminder of where you are today and where you want to be.
5) Don't just sit in front of the TV. Get yourself some weights and do arm curls or walk on a treadmill. A lot of people eat out of boredom.
6) Eat your calories don't drink them! The worst thing for you is beer, coffee, soda & high sugar juices. Drink water!!
7) Don't weigh yourself every day, you didn't put it on overnight so it's not going to come off overnight.
8) Reward Yourself - Don't deprive yourself of everything you love. If you work out during the day or stuck to mostly healthy foods allow yourself a treat once a week (but don't go over board) measure 1/2 cup of icecream instead of eating the whole gallon.
9) Stay away from Fast Food & Take Out - It's better to stay home and eat a piece of chicken or a salad and fill up on FRUITS & VEGETABLES then to eat a fast food burger and fries and end up with a stomach ache and no energy to work out.
10) Get a work out partner - It's always easier if you have someone to do it with and keep you motivated!

How often does a kilimanjaro baboon tarantula eat?
Q. we have several types of species of tarantula and they all eat differently, however we did buy them all at the same store, but we have moved and i can not ask them. like one of ours will eat sometimes only once a month, some will eat twice a week. well this one we can not figure out. she is not about to molt i do not think and she has not eaten in about a few weeks now. when she does eat she is quite aggressive and quick, etc. she seems healthy and everything too
A. most of my tarantulas eat very unusually. sometimes they eat at night when you cant see them, i would just keep feeding it and if after a couple of days the cricket has not "dissapered" then just remove it and try again in a few days..... my chillian rose hair once went 3 month without eating, as long as you keep water and humidity high and she seems fine then i would not worry...... by the way you cant over feed a spider, so she might be of the sort that likes binge eating..... she sounds happy enough...
How do people with bulimia actually make them selves sick?
Q. I'm not bulimic nor do I have an eating disorder, but i was just wondering how shoving your fingers down your throat makes you throw up loads of food? Usually people with bulimia binge eat, then they make themselves sick... wouldn't they choke on the food though? I did once go through a stage of making myself sick, but that lasted for about a month and i didn't get anywhere... sure i lost some weight but half the time i would actually choke on the food. Weird.
A. People with bulimia chew their food very finely and drink a lot of water to make purging easier. They also know which foods to eat that will come up easier than others.
