if u had to lose weight #2..............i neede to add somethin.............?

Question

would u not eat lunch and i never eat breakfast so would u just eat supper and 1 snack a day?!?!? i have to lose 90 lbs..........by the beginning of april........... i have an eating disorder that is called binge eating and it can lead to bulimia

Answer 1

Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day - it gives you lots of energy to start your day right. Eat a good breakfast, and a good midday meal, and healthy snacks. I'd cut out a big dinner - my thoughts is that people eat a big meal, then go to bed? How do they use up the calories and such from the food they just ate? I think it just turns to fat and hangs onto your body, but that's just the way I see it. Anyways, to lose 90 lbs by April is unrealistic and unhealthy. A good goal is 1-3 lb loss per week, tops. If you push yourself to your 90 lb loss goal, it's almost a guaranteed that you'll gain it back, with extra. Your goal should be healthy living, not weight loss. If you live healthy, the weight loss will happen, just the way it's suposed to - in a good way for your body.

Answer 2

Ok, well you have a serious problem but at least you know it. What I would recommend is first of all, some psychological therapy to get your disorder in check (it'll greatly help you in the future).

What some nutritionists say is that we should start the day of like a king (big breakfast), have a regular lunch and have supper like a mendicant (small). In other words, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Now about the weight loss, well, first of all you need to change your eating habits. Add more fresh fruits and vegetables, get rid of the canned stuff. Stop eating butter and fats that come from animals, this reduces the amount of saturated fats, which only make you fatter. Add more vegetable oils, especially olive oil and nuts (you can have these as snacks) which are the beneficial fats. Limit your sugar intake, remove all the processed starches and carbohydrates (like white bread, white rice), add more whole grains to your diet, this'll help you control your cravings and will help your digestion (you won't be constipated, which is bad for many things, including skin).

Now, if you REALLY wanna lose some weight hit the gym. If you've never done exercise start slow with some aerobics/cardiovascular, that really the type of exercise used to lose weight. To tone your muscles and your skin, do some light weightlifting. Again, if this is new to you, start off slow and then slowly build up as the weeks go by. Remember to get plenty of sleep (this stimulates the growth hormone, which among other things, stimulates the use of fat tissue for energy and will help you maintain healthy muscles.

April is a long way from here but if you get started now and give it your all you can achieve anything you want. It's amazing what hard work and determination can accomplish.

Best of luck!

You should eat more small meals throughout the day. Your body basically thinks it is starving when you only eat one meal a day... so when that one meal finally does hit your stomach it stores alot as fat to prepare for starvation.

Trust me! I started eating a good breakfast, lunch and dinner and I ate alot of fruit between and I lost 10 lbs! Make those meals HEALTHY low fat meals and you can really lose alot more... and then add exercise and viola!

It's hard but that's what makes having a great body such an achievement! Binging and only eating one big meal a day is definately bad for you.

pick up a Women's Health Magazine. You can find it at most stores. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/

Also try the Abs Diet. It follows the basic concepts I just wrote about but it has recipes and workouts that will help you.

Answer 4

Binge eating does not lead to bulimia but it can lead to the normal consequence which is weight gain. Because of the weight gain, you might look for some other way to lose the weight which may lead you in the direction of bulimia.

I am an emotional eater but was still able to lose weight. keep in mind the following:

Diets and changing your eating to healthy food choices can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.

You may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable.

This all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet.

Please learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:

You already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.

P.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

Answer 5

not eating breakfast is the worst thing to do. so i would say you should eat a nice size breakfast and then eat just a few healthy smaller meals throughout the day.

Answer 6

you need to eat 5-6 mini meals aday skipping meals makes you want to binge because you get to hungry
