If you're running into issues with meal plans having too much salt, it's just a matter of making those recipes at home without the salt added. Going to have to cook more if you need that serious of a low-sodium intake.

Like everyone said, weight fluctuation from day to day is totally normal. If you're eating at a deficit and doing everything right, you will lose weight. Daily weighing may not be a good thing in your case, if you're not able to just weigh yourself every day and realize you may be up anywhere from 1-4 pounds one day(due to…

In order to really understand how many calories you're consuming, you really, really need to be using a food scale. Also, start weighing yourself less, at least until you can learn to not be so phased by the numbers that come up with it. I've lost 26 pounds in the last couple months(I'm 400lbs, though, this isn't typical…

Hi Kristy! I know some of the responses here seem really aggressive and critical, but please don't think it's directed at you. People on the forums really do have your best interest at heart, they get so enthusiastic about stuff like this because they have a lot of collective experience and recognize red flags when they…

Yeah. It's not his field. He means well but he's wrong. Talk to your endo, talk to a registered dietician - doctors tend to have very specialized fields.

Like everyone said here, please find a therapist. Call your inpatient treatment and tell them you need to be seeing a therapist and a nutritionist, who are people in the area you can see. Please don't get dissuaded by feeling like you've been dropped in cold water - it sounds like they discharged you without really setting…

I believe she's a nutritionist. Because being a "nutritionist" means absolutely nothing.

I find it hard to believe you had 4 years of education in nutrition. Are you actually a registered dietitian or a nutritionist, which means nothing?

THIS THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN IN WEEKS HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS.

Guys who grow patchy facial hair really shouldn't be growing it, but my friends joke I'm a beardsexual. I will pretty much always prefer thicker scruff or full beards on most guys. I think my hormonal teenage crush on Will Riker doomed me. Beards are so popular nowadays tho...it's weird. The demographic that grew them even…

Like others have already said in this thread, if you're truly binging, there's an underlying reason. Restrictions will only make it worse. Don't think this is something you can turn off like a faucet - accept it will happen again, and that the goal is to figure out how to decrease how much it happens until it's not…

Don't lose hope, the fact you realize you have a problem is a HUGE step. Like someone else asked, how old are you? Most college campuses have help for EDs now.

Butter sauteed mushrooms and spinach with some mild feta, homemade stewed lentils, and a Trader Joe's stuffed flounder. Sauteed mushrooms and spinach is becoming my new vice.

Really didn't mean to offend, sorry if I did. In any case, good luck! Hope things work out for you.

If you're binging, like Jossfit said, there's an underlying reason. Restrictions will only make it worse. Don't think this is something you can turn off like a faucet - accept it will happen again, and that the goal is to figure out how to decrease how much it happens until it's not anymore. Do not beat yourself up or let…

No, you're going to gain weight, so put a pin in the idea of trying to lose while you're pregnant. You don't need to gain back old weight in addition to what will be baby weight, though. Talk to your OBGYN. Get the numbers from her. Ask her what would be a good number of calories to eat and make sure you're getting it.…

It doesn't matter what fats you're eating as long as you're eating a calorie deficit. As long as you're eating at a deficit, you'll be fine.

LOVE THIS.

People can become dependent to the ACT of eating because of the release it provides. No SPECIFIC food is addictive. They create reactions in the pleasure centers of our brain if they are tastes we enjoy - this isn't a shock. It just happens to be a food they find pleasurable to eat.

Why even mention BDSM? 50 Shades isn't remotely an accurate portrayal of real BDSM. It's an abusive relationship.

I just try to not eat anything too heavy past 7pm because I'm in bed by 10:30 and hate sleeping with a full stomach. Only reason why.

Pwatol speaks the truth. It's caffeine withdrawal giving the headaches, there's no such thing as sugar addiction. If you're having trouble going cold turkey, I'd start limiting your intake every week. Maybe a quarter less of what you drink normally each week.

Seriously what. Johnnylakis you gotta tell us what that is. I can make out the chocolate and peanut butter...chocolate gelato? What's the other stuff?

Your whole post is absolutely perfect. Love it.

Lol really? I've been consistently eaten at a deficit for 45 days now, dropping weight every week. Ate much less than average this week and I had chicken finger subs, cheesecake, cupcakes. I eat cheese every day. To OP: I think once you begin to develop a normalized view of food you'll find the store much less…

Holy food police!

Imo the difference in micros between brown and white are negligible. Certain types also vary by a gram or 2 here and there of things like fibre and protein. I personally don't eat rice all that often, so when I do, I eat it for taste. I don't care much for regular long-grain brown rice, but I do love wild rice and black…
