Anorexic? Or a strict diet?

Question

Breakfast: 1 package of sugar free oatmeal made with water.
Lunch: 1 cup mixed baby greens (spinach, romaine lettuce, etc) with 1 tsp each of olive oil and vinegar.
Dinner: 1/2 cup light cottage cheese with 1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple chunks.
Lots of water throughout the day.

Answer 1

I would be concerned. That's very restrictive, not only in terms of calories, but it's lacking in nutrients in general. Too little food.

Answer 2

Not enough nutrition to be healthy.Most people need 1200 to 1600 calories to run their normal body functions.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 3

too strict of a diet. just keep in mind that the more restrictive your diet is the less essential nutrients and vitamins you are getting which your body needs to fight off diseases, cancers and infections.

can't really tell if one is anorexic by their diet because most people often try to stay on diets this restrictive but the normal unafflicted person will be unable to maintain it. anorexia is a mental disorder where people simply can not control their food behaviors.

Answer 4

You need more protein and antioxidants.
You will get sick if you don't balance your vitamin intake.
Your body will start feeding on itself which causes bad breath, rotten teeth, and internal problems. (and more)
Anorexia is a disease caused by mental distortion of body image -- I don't know if you have that or not.
You have a poor diet.
Follow the food pyramid. Eat healthy and exercise.
Good luck!

Answer 5

Why the hell would you do that? Just work out and eat healthier (which means more than what you've got up there, a lot more) and you'll lose weight.. Or are you after the waytooskinny+ugly look or something?

Answer 6

seems a bit more than strict diet...very little food and less room for flexibilty...if you have a close friend or family member i would talk about this with them...not to mention if you are asking you know there's a possible problem...good luck

Anorexic. You are not eating nearly enough to sustain you for the day. Increase your calorie input to about 2,000. You don't want to starve to death.
