malnourishment?? (EDNOS)
Posted Tuesday December 30 2014, 2:06 pm
I know. I understand anorexia is a deadly disease. I know. I'm trying to get better on my own. Slowly, but surely. I know I can make it through this.
Okay, I have a physical disability called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (type 3) its harder for me to lose weight, and I am overweight. My goal by June is 150 and I'm already doing a low carb thing, the problem is.. I'm not eating properly. And I've been losing weight. I know this isn't healthy. Is this a starting sign of anorexia?? My toe nail broke in half when all I did was hit it on the couch.. My hair is getting dry, my skin as well, and my nails are brittle. I purged for the first time yesterday; since thanksgiving. I'm also lacking energy, but yet I still exercise regularly. Am I slowly starting to fade away? 15 5'7..

It's hard for me to eat lately
Posted Saturday November 22 2014, 12:01 pm
I'm 15(16 in Feb.), female, 5ft. 7inch. and weighed 125, but now is 119.
A little back story, when I was in my mothers womb, I was very active and caused a 'true knot' in my umbilical cord(we don't know for sure, but my dad said it was wrapped around my neck). I was born by C-section and the doctors said I was lucky to have survived. I was 6 pounds 4ounces and malnourished.
I have always been very skinny, to where people(including my older siblings) would ask my parents if they were feeding me. Even though I ate normal, if not more than I should. In middle school, I gained weight and while I was still thin, I was normal looking.
I continued normal weight, until a few months ago when I fo...

I want to lose weight for purposes of health. My mom thinks I'm anorexic.
Posted Tuesday August 12 2014, 8:28 am
I'm 15, female, 5'5", and 115 pounds.
I danced for six years growing up – I took ballet from when I was seven until I was thirteen and quit so I could focus on my music career. Of course, after quitting, my entire physical build changed, and I went from being 105 pounds to 125. I also had a lot less energy and was constantly tired. About ten months ago now, I started exercising regularly again, mostly at my mother's insistence – I started out by just doing Zumba two hours per week, and now, I do Beachbody's T25 exercise videos every day and I've graduated from the Alpha series to the Beta. I have mostly regained the physical condition I was in before I quit dance, and I have energy again.

I Can't Eat Much
Posted Sunday August 10 2014, 9:37 am
I am female, of 18 years of age. I am of average height, 5'4" with a naturally thin body and weighing 113lbs. I have always stayed from 112-114, never went up or down like at all. Recently I started college and I wasn't able to eat much. A lot of people kept asking me if I was anorexic and it made me feel really bad. I AM NOT. I love food! I make weird mixes and everything. Whenever I get anxious or nervous though my appettite is very low. It's not my fault. It's not like I tell my body to do such things. Is there any way for me to gain my appettite even when I'm nervous? I have to walk a lot and that coupled with low nutrition will end up killing me, I need some help with this problem while I get used to my new life.

Is garlic good or bad?
Posted Tuesday July 15 2014, 9:55 am
I just read that garlic is "poison for the brain". Now I'm really confused because a lot of websites state, that garlic is good for you and provide good reasons, while other websites do the exact opposite.
Now is there a smart person on here, who could explain the truth? .__.

Low Calorie Diet
Posted Sunday July 13 2014, 7:58 am
I'm going on a diet and I only want to eat around 500 calories a day (with one cheat day every two weeks of course ;)). I was wondering if this is safe/ healthy as long as I get all if my vitamins and nutrients. I've been eating avocado, almonds, milk, oranges, apples, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, oatmeal, spinach, tomatoes, grapes, watermelon, and of course water. I'm planning on expanding the list if I do this long term. I eat 3-4 small meals per day about 150 calories each. I exercise a little bit as well. So is this safe? I've heard that if I do this my body will start eating my muscle so I've put the diet on hold until I know for sure. If this isn't safe, I'd like some suggestions to improve my diet. Thanks! (Oh and by the way, I'm a woman if that matters.

M/15
So I have alot of stuff to "come out of the closet" with my parents. But after the first thing I came out about(religion) it did not go well. So im very hesitant. Latly I've been really think about being a vegitarian but I really love sea food. Other meat just didnt taste good to me and I don't feel that its necisary to enslave animals just to kill and eat them. So I did resarch and I took a nutrition class in school and I think its a really healthy diet. So about one month ago I decide I wanted to be a pescatarian(a diet of no meat except for seafood) . I've gone the whole time without eating meat and I love it. No one has actuly caught on. The fact that I don't eat the family dinner Is not strange for I like ...

I just can't lose weight
Posted Tuesday April 22 2014, 6:03 pm
I am 17 f and am the fattest in my year, I know for most teenagers being thinner is just a part of anxiety and hormones however I have been told by doctors that if I don't start losing weight soon I am going to have to deal with several health problems when I am older like heart attacks and diabeties. I have been given diet plans by doctors but I just can't stick to them, it's starting to affect my confidence because people are so judgemental. I need a way to convince the rest if my body that it is a time for a change. I need diets that are easy and effective. Because it is not just my physical health that it will be affecting, please help. Thanks

my atkins diet "induction flu." HELP
Posted Tuesday February 11 2014, 6:22 pm
I recently began the low carb atkins diet, and i feel very very dysfunctional. I feel as if i cannot attend class due to lack of energy, nausea, and constant heart palpitations. it takes an effort to stand up or move my ligaments. when will i get over this? will i ever get over this? are heart palpitations normal for an 18 year old girl? the problem is, my diet was solely based on all carbs and sugars so i feel as if this is all a reaction to readjusting to a healthy lifestyle. i am not doing atkins for losing weight specifically, but to set up a healthy style for myself in the future. (weight gain is very common in my family). my family raised me to eat carbs for every single meal and i became just as addicted as someone is to nicoti...

Uninentionally low daily calorie intake.
Posted Thursday November 28 2013, 11:29 am
Hi everybody,
I have been eating with a calorie deficit for the past two months or so, and my daily goal is to come in at about 1.300-1.400 calories per day.
I don't drink sugary drinks and rarely any sort of crisps/junk/sweets. I don't eat much bread or pasta either.
On a busy day, I often find that I total around 1.000-1.2000 kcals a day. I've been told that this is really bad for you, etc. The thing is, this is not intentional, I'm not hungry on days like these, and if I were, I would eat.
My friend suggested for me to try out a meal replacement shake on days like these. Such as this one:

How necessary a protein shakes for weight loss & toning up?
Posted Monday September 30 2013, 6:22 pm
Hi, I'm a 20 year old female, currently on a journey to lose 50lbs and tone up. I'm eating healthy, about 1.100-1.400 calories a day and working out 3-4 times a week.
I've heard that protein shakes are good for females trying to lose weight & gain some muscle definition but I don't know how true this is.
Is there anyone who has experience with this and can give me some basic information? This is for research purposes. I will of course speak to my doctor before changing anything but I would love to have some information or insight on this.
Thanks very much!

I Think I Need to Lose Weight.
Posted Saturday August 17 2013, 1:18 am
I'm thirteen years old and female, and I think I weigh a little more than I should. I'm four feet and eleven inches and almost ninety pounds. I have gained a lot of weight recently, and I don't like it. When I was in fourth grade, I was only four feet tall and 48 pounds. I wish I could stay that way.
I think I need to start eating less, exercising more, or something like that. Whenever I eat more than I usually do, I feel awful about it. So far, I have tried to make sure I don't eat too much at meals, and I do a lot of sit-ups and yoga. When I start school again, I'll be doing PE every day, too. I'm trying to eat only 1300 calories a day. Is that good enough, or should I eat less than that?
No matter what I try...
