How about a giant pretzel? It's not technically health food, but it's just bread, and it's vegetarian.

-Letting the dog out. Just because it's very early in the morning does NOT mean there won't be people outside.

I love cayenne on everything. It's my favorite spice. That would be interesting if it had fat burning benefits. I hope someone who knows how it works posts here!

Health & Support	which is worse	Jun 12 2008 09:13 (UTC)	4
Probably restricting. Say you eat 1800 calories and burn 600, you have an intake of 1200 but get more nutrients, and get to enjoy more food and be less hungry. Eating 1200 wouldn't be as satisfying. You shouldn't exercise like crazy, though. Be gentle with yourself and your body. The best way to lose binge weight is by just pretending it didn't happen, and continuing your diet as normal the next day. Drink lots of water, get lots of sleep, and avoid stress to help yourself not binge in the future.
Foods	such a thing as too much egg whites in a diet?	Jun 12 2008 09:07 (UTC)	1
like everyone said, too much of anything can have negative side effects. I don't think you're over-doing it though, honestly. You're obviously not overeating; you're on a calorie controlled diet. If it works for you, I say go for it, as long as you're including enough variety to get all the other nutrients your body needs.
Foods	I know that is sounds super weird but...	Jun 12 2008 09:04 (UTC)	3
They look gross to me... But they aren't bad for you or anything. Everything a baby eats is safe for an adult. (Doesn't work the other way around.) So go ahead, if you want to, lol

I'm curious. What did you eat, and how did you do?
Health & Support	Has anyone gone for 48+ hours without sleep?	Jun 12 2008 06:06 (UTC)	21
I think if you're going to pull a stunt like this off, you should do it without chemical aids. Drinking caffeine while simultaneously depriving yourself of sleep is like taking money out of a bank, (by which I mean your adrenal glands,) and not putting any back in. So, yeah. It's crap for you either way, but worse with the drugs. What are you doing, anyway? Do you really not have time to take even a three hour cat nap? I once stayed up 48 hours finishing a study project for my Japanese class. By the time the classtest I'd been cramming for rolled around my thinking was so muddled I had to physically hurt myself-- dig my nails into my skin, bite my lip, snap a rubberband,-- just to stay awake and alert. My eyes kept closing on their own. And guess what: I got a C on the project, and a D on the test.

He needs to get help, quick. I'd worry about him fainting. If he won't go to a therapist for eating disorders, take him to family or marriage counseling with you, and start from there. There's a stigma around mental illness, and I think it's especially strong about male anorexia. Let him know that it doesn't make him weak or a bad person, and that you want to help him get better.

Foods	Having a real energy slump - what to eat?	Jun 11 2008 16:45 (UTC)	2
I'd say a mix of protein and natural sugars. Nothing to heavy or fatty, that can make you more tired as you digest. Grapes, a banana, or dried fruit like Jane suggested are all good; they'll give you energy quickly. Protein will help give you strength, so try and include some of that, too. I find colder foods make me less tired than the hot ones. Sometimes after I eat something warm like oatmeal or soup I feel like crawling back into bed and being cozy. XD Anyway. Grapes. I think they'd be perfect.
Health & Support	Center for Change (or any inpatient)	Jun 11 2008 08:14 (UTC)	3
Thanks again. I guess I will have to get used to the butter thing. If I had to eat fat, I'd probably like it best if it were in yogurt or meat or disguised in another manor, but I'll just have to do what they say. That's interesting about your grades. Do you really think it's because of your diet? How frequent were visiting hours for you? Were they every day? Every week? I live really far away from the center, so my parents won't able to see me at all during the whole thing. I do have friends that live closer, though, and I'm hoping they'll want to visit. I am pretty nervous about the other patients. (I almost just wrote inmates.) Having an E.D. has made me do some pretty nasty stuff, and I know I'm not the only one. Also I'm worried I won't look skinny enough to be admitted, and they'll all think I'm faking or something. Three pieces of gum... eek. I have a lot more than that, haha. It's going to be one b**** of an addiction to break. x_x

Oh, thank you so much for coming back. I'm not too scared about the portion sizes. I can eat a whole plate of veggies and be fine. The idea of eating fat is the worst. I haven't had any in a really, really long time. They don't start you off eating pats of butter, do they? Just thinking about it has got me panicking. It's funny... I'm trying to think of foods I don't enjoy eating. I can think of foods I wouldn't touch, but they're all bad foods, not foods I actually dislike. That sucks about the lima beans. Were you forced to eat them anyway? What was the policy on phone calls and visitors where you stayed?

Thanks. How fast do you gain weight? Do you have to get all the way up to your target before they discharge you, or just to where your health is stable? What if I gain weight and STILL don't get a period? Will I just have to keep gaining and gaining? The food scares the hell out of me. I've eaten 2000 calories at once during my binges, but not spread out over a normal day for a very, very long time. What about safe foods? Will I be allowed to eat those, or are they forbidden? And my clothes... what if I get to big for them? Should I buy some clothes in bigger sizes to take along?

I got mine out at sixteen. It hurt a bit, but it was interesting to get to try vicoden without breaking any laws. They healed fast, and everything was fine.
