Question

i just need for someone to please let me know some stuff about eating disorders

Answer 1

Atkins saved my life. Seriously and I am not joking. For 30 years I was bulemic and tried every diet on the planet and to lose one pound I would have to starve myself to 500 calories a day or puke all my food not as a benge as they say bulemia is but to try and lose weight or not gain it back. I am very short only 4'11 and to eat like a normal person I would gain so fast it wasn't funny as I had destroyed my metabolism.

2 1/2 years ago I thought about going on the Atkins as I wanted to lose weight fast. I got the book and began to read it. (The single most important thing before beginning any low carb program) Wow this made more sense than anything I have ever read. I realized that this couldn't be a diet for me but I had to change my way of eating for life.

My husband and I went on this together. I lost 50 pounds and he lost 80. This took rather very little time to lose it too. Yes right at first you do have goofy breath but it's ketosis where your body is actually burning the fat up. You lose fat on this way of eating more than muscle like you do when you starve yourself.

It isn't all about eating fat as many will try and tell you. It isn't unheathy either, isn't bad on your kidneys and Dr. Atkins did not die of a heart attack but from a fall on the ice on his head. He did not have high cholesterol and his company went bankrupt due to promoting high priced junk food he never agreed with but they put his name on. I have never eaten so healthy in my life or felt so wonderful. For 2 1/2 years I have never made myself vomit once or felt the need too. I can eat and eat as much as I want until I am comfortably full. I never have had to count calories, portions, eat only celery or salads, but real food!

To me if there could be a perfect way of eating this is it. But you have to decide before beginning this that those high carbs aren't worth it. If you approach this as your depriving yourself you will never stick with it. It's all about substitutions. I want a piece of cake, I make a cheesecake with walnuts for the crust instead of graham crackers and splenda in place of the sugar. Very legal on and I will not gain weight.

I have weighed 110 for over 2 years, a perfect weight in my mind for a 47 year old woman, never weigh myself but recently went to the Doctor because of a sinus infection and I haven't gain one pound and EAT! Let me tell you I eat! Yippee!

Answer 2

Well, I know of three types of eating disorders. Anorexia, bulimia, and overeating.
They all have psychological roots. Some imagine they are overweight, when they clearly aren't. They have a distorted view of themselves. Sometimes it is brought on because of what someone might have said to them. Usually the first two affect females.
Overeating, stems from "eating your problems". Rather than deal with issues, people--men and women, are affecting by this disorder. Not all overweight people have problems but a great many do.

Answer 3

LOL, I've had all three at different times...

Anorexia- abstaining from eating, generally associated with an EXTREME fear of gaining weight. Often the person is obsessed with exercise.

Bulimia- use of laxatives or vomiting to counteract frequent binges.

Compulsive Eating-people who binge-eat, consuming drastically high amounts of calories in a short period of time, often very overweight.
