Vitamins: Do I take them... or not?
Posted Thursday September 6 2012, 4:51 pm
I am 19/f and I attend a medical college. As long as I've been in school, all my teachers have told us it is important to take a multi-vitamin everyday, especially of you don't get a lot of it in your diet. As I was in the store the other day trying to find a multi-vitamin the lady from the little clinic came over and asked if I needed help finding one. She said I shouldn't take ANY vitamins becaus if you don't think your deficient in anything, you could be over vitaminizing yourself. Which is bad. She also told me if I do start taking them, if I don't feel better in a week or so to stop taking them because my bones are still growing. So I am confused on if I should be taking vitamins or not. All it is is a multi vitamin. Are they fine to take? Or should I restrain? Thank you !

Binge Eating :(
Posted Monday September 3 2012, 12:41 am
Hi there,
I am 19 years old and I have been having binge eating problems for abouuuut 2 years now. My weight has yo yoed for a long time. I am so tired of it because it affects my whole life plus its really bad for my health. I've tried everything even intuitive eating but I keep having bad binges about 2-3 days a week. It is always on very sweet sugary foods and I feel so ashamed and embarrassed afterwards. I am not overweight because I work out so much but I know i'd be happier if I was slimmer. Absolutely nobody knows how much I struggle with this because I am so embarrassed about it. I think I need to see a counselor or something but I do not want my parents to find out (I still live with them and I am on there insurance etc.) Wh...

Posted Sunday August 26 2012, 4:20 pm
Im 13/f and Ive been thinking of going vegitarian for about a week. The only meat I really like is hot dogs and bacon... I love animals alot and I just dont want to eat them anymore. How can I tell my parents this? How can I keep up protein if I dont eat meat? I only really like carrots, potatoes, corn, cucumber, and peas as veggies. What are good meals I can have as a vegitarian? How can I tell my mom and dad? I have a friend who is a vegitarian and I told my mom she is and my mom said "its a stage you go through" but I dont want to eat meat anymore :/ Help>

Texture Of Meal Replacement Drinks. Weight Loss
Posted Saturday August 18 2012, 10:16 pm
Here's the thing I hate eggs and the texture of them and above all smell. It makes me throw up actually. I wish I were kidding about that. That usually occurs if I see them being whipped in a bowl. I know it's unusual but sadly that's my dilemma.
I have to lose weight as I'm overweight like there's no tomorrow. I'm starting a GYM and sticking to it. The thing is meal replacement shakes would help me and I want to use the ones designed specifically for shedding pounds.
I've tried Slim Fast and a generic brand but here's what I notice. You can't help but taste the egg and feel its texture as you're drinking the ones that come in the cans you shake before drinking. The powders also have that kind of consistency to...

should i be worried?
Posted Thursday August 16 2012, 12:57 pm
a friend of mine used to have an eating disorder. from what i've noticed, she hasn't had any trouble with it for over a year. but recently, she hasn't been eating enough. she's getting a lot thinner and is always complaining about being nauseous. she says she's trying to gain weight, but she could just be saying that. i feel inclined to talk to her parents so we can get her help, but i don't know if that is whats best. i would talk to her about it, but i know if she really has relapsed, she definitely wouldn't tell me. earlier today i asked her if she wanted something to eat and she didn't use her usual excuse of "i'm nauseous, maybe later" she just said "maybe later, i'm fine for now" which is just her claiming to not b...

Is this an eating disorder or malnutrition?
Posted Wednesday August 15 2012, 8:11 pm
Okay so to start off I am 20 years old, I am 5 ft 8in tall and I weigh 117lbs. I know I am slightly underweight with a BMI of 17.7
I am a model so I am at an ideal weight for the industry (sadly I know) however I also exercise and do not look unhealthy. I have muscles and fat on my legs.
I have a tall, lean figure by genetics, however in the past 6 months I have lost about 15 lbs. I used to weigh 130 and dropped to 115 through no specific action of my own. I do not eat a lot but I eat the same as I have all my life and I grew up at a normal weight my whole life. I've never felt hungry and when I did I ate. The only thing that has changed in the past six months that could account for my weight loss is the fact t...

I can't stop eating
Posted Saturday August 11 2012, 2:22 pm
18/f
I love eating. I eat more than three meals a day and they're usually very big meals. In between those, I'm nibbling on snacks, like health bars or chips and dip. I've gained at least twenty pounds in the past three months or so. I really hate this and I hate eating so much, but I feel like I can't stop. I've eaten so much that I've gotten sick and vomited, then ate right afterwards.
I don't know why I do this. I just love the taste of food, the smell of it. If I'm about to watch a show on TV, even if I'm not hungry, I'll go grab something to eat just so I have something to do while watching the show (That could have something to do with my ADD). I'm not bulimic or anything because I don't enjoy puking. It'...

Addicted to coffee
Posted Wednesday May 30 2012, 8:27 am
I'm 17 and female.
So I'm hooked on coffee! Like I'll have a minimum of 5 a day.
However I am trying not to take coffee anymore as the caffeine in it stunts growth (and I wanna grow more!) and can give you cancer and bad teath etc.
What would anyone recoomend for stopping-because I just can't help it!

How many people think majority of healthy foods are just nasty tasting?

How many people think majority of healthy foods are just plain nasty tasting?
I hate eating most healthy foods, they have no flavor and some make me gag. I get tired of eating baked fish, baked chicken, canned tuna, health shakes, most vegetables, etc. The foods I have to eat to stay healthy. I know people are supposed to eat to live and not live to eat, but at the same time I feel like i'm eating nasty food that taste like I'm chewing on wood or paper.
I get cravings for soda, chips & candy
How do you eat healthy food without cheating on your diet?
