I lost 20pounds in the past 5 months. Do you think I can regain it in just a short period of time?

Question

My aunt told me it will take years. This is due to depression and being homesick. Most of my family consider me to be anorexic but I think I am 'leading to' because I refuse food but sometimes I binge and grabe the opportunity to eat 'in secret.' Please help me. I don't know what are the right foods to eat... I want to live and help myself. But I don't want to get fat and I'm afraid of gaining weight. I still stop eating but when my mom is there, I don't have the choice but to eat or else she will scold me of not eating. Please give me advice... I know I need professional help but still, I need other's advice- other people's perspective. I am not fat before but still I don't want to go back to what I my weight before. HELP!

Answer 1

you can gain weight in a short period of time. For example, if you eat a lot thoughtout the day and you stop exercising, these fats will be stored in your body and you will gain weight. You can gain as much as 10 lbs in 10 days.

Answer 2

hey dude, back when i was a young kid i was very fat, and i was always made fun of so i took action and lost a bunch of weight, and by 9th grade in highschool i had a washboard stomache and was one of the most fit kids in my grade, maybe not strongest but most endurance and best looking body according to a lot of girls


the only thing to consider here is thar humans naturally burn 1800 clories a day if they do nothing but sleep 24 hours

so if u do no excersize except walking around occassionally then id say about 2000 calories a day and it doesnt matter what u eat really

but try to stay closer to protiens and carbs

and if u do more excersize then eat a little more

and if you are hungry and uve recently ate, a great snack celery if u get used to it, bcuz it actually takes more calories to digest than it gives u haha

Answer 3

Find a healthy diet. Talk to a dietitian about what would be best for you. Depending on your age, activity level, etc it may vary.

Eat serving sizes(the amount it says on the nutrition facts). Avoid fatty foods. If you eat high carb foods, make sure you are active. Protein will promote muscle growth and weight gain without fat. Avoid fatty/oily foods.

Make sure you eat 3 balanced meals, and stay at your calorie intake for your body size if you dont want to gain too much weight, but dont want to lose any either.
