Weight Gain Idea - Good or Bad?
I have been worried about my weight for a long time, as I've been underweight for as long as I can remember. A while ago, I heard that starvation is one of the worst ways to lose weight because your body goes into starvation mode and stores everything as fat when you begin to eat again. Which can often lead to a greater…

Pros and Cons of logging for ED recovery?
I'm trying to overcome ED But i find that logging my intake just gets me obsessed with meeting calorie requirements - or worse, trying to eat "under" just coz I can. For example, my stupid brain prefers to eat only 700 on some days because even the idea of shooting above 1000 is too "high." At the same time, logging to…

anyone have any tips for getting a kid to gain weight?
He's only 10 and he's very small, so weight training is not exactly a good option. Just eat more doesn't work because he's just not that hungry.
