Yea avocados are delicious and supposed to be really healthy. I do eat healthy foods but i guess im just eating too much of them at once.. I am seeing a dietitan and i'm trying to follow her plan but i always slip and end up bingeing too much in the morning then restricting until dinner or the next day, i admit my…

Thanks for the site!

I love steamed broccoli, edamame beans (has a very good amount of protein) or some carrots :) Unsweetened almond milk is good too, or you can even put in some stevia to sweeten or put a teaspoon of natural cocoa powder to make a healthy chocolate milk. Also try sipping on flavored tea so you can fill up on hydration…

I usually don't eat anything, i just enjoy the movie. If i did bring anything it probably just be some carrots, cucumber or celery so i can get the crunch factor without the guilt. The extra nutrients don't hurt either :)

I freakin love that stuff! my favorite brand is "Nuts to You Organic Raw Almond butter" Its made from italian almonds and has the most AMAZING taste and smooth texture! I eat it straight from the jar or put it on some dates or in superfood energy balls/bars. Unfortunately i cannot control myself and usually finish an…

Try to navigate towards the produce section of the grocery stores instead of the packaged junk isles. Take your kids with you so they can see and appreciate the beautiful colors of all the vegetables and fruits and let them pick the ones they want to try. Make each meal contain mostly fresh veggies and have fruit for a…

I always have my green smoothie which contains a handful of spinach, some kale, romaine lettuce, cucumber, celery, ginger, berries, lemon juice, and an apple. I also add a dash of cinnamon to give it a warm sweet spicey flavor and added nutrition. The water content and fiber really fills me up and my skin has completely…

OMG you sound so similar to me. I haven't graduated i actually just started university and during my first year i lost ALOT of weight because i was eating very healthy and exercising everyday (i also love exercising and do it all the time, i feel like crap when i don't) but now that its summer and i didn't do so well in my…

You can make an easy super healthy and all natural soft serve ice cream by freezing banana slices and putting them in the blender. The texture is EXACTLY like real ice cream and its naturally sweet so you don't even need to add any sugar. You can also make flavor variations like chocolate and strawberry by adding in cocoa…

I am sorry about your sister, i really hope everything gets better with time. Its also great that you are taking action to care for her. I would recommend you look at the eat clean diet cookbook, you can check it up online. Also my favorite life changeing book is called the beauty detox solution by Kimberly Snyder. She…

Green Smoothies are awesome! i have one every day for breakfast to get in my fruit and veggies first thing! This sounds like a good cleansing diet but i wouldn't do it for over a week because you still need to get more nutrients like protein and healthy fats into your system to function properly. If its too hard i would…

If its added sugar its generally not the healthiest thing you can consume, but you can have it in moderation since you claim it contains other benefits. it can be a pre-workout snack so you can use the sugar to give you energy and you can burn it off. However if you are concerned with the sugar i would recommend buying an…

I love using chia seeds to get my omega 3 fats, calcium, and protein. They really helped my hair grow shinier and satisfies my hunger. They also have good fiber to help with digestion and are a powerful anitoxidant to help cleanse the body of waste. My skin also improved when i started to consume them. They are also…

Its very good that you are including lots of veggies and fruit but to reach your daily calorie intake try to incorporate more nutrient dense foods such as quinoa which is a great complex carb and also a source of protein without the fat. You can mix in some beans as well which are fat free but contain a very good amount of…

Almond butter and raw energy bars :( i can eat a whole 16oz jar in 2 days...

The best way to lose belly fat is to eat clean and do cardio. Diet is actually the biggest part because its the foods you eat and the way it digests that brings on the bloating and stored belly fat. Never eat a large meal because your body cannot properly metabolize so many calories at once, especially if its a high fat…

I am in love with raw food snack bars or "superfood balls" as they are sometimes called because all they contain are wholesome natural ingredients with healthy fats and sugars to give you great energy. This is my favorite recipe: 1/2 cup raw almonds 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds 1/4 cup unsweetened…

A healthy diet ALWAYS includes veggies. They provide a great amount of nutrition, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water and are very low calorie so they are great for weight loss. They also do wonders for your skin and hair! Ever since i switched my diet to mostly eating raw veggies and greens my skin completely cleared up…

Try more veggies with hummus or guacamole dip or making smoothies with unsweetened milk, some veggies and/or fruit with a power add in like ground flaxseed, chia seeds, or protein powder. My favorite low carb snack is a homemade protein bar or superfood ball that is made of mainly nuts, seeds, cocoa powder, and dried fruit…

The best ones i've tried are from this pilates trainer named Cassey Ho. Her channel is called blogilates and she has a ton of hardcore workouts that only require your own bodyweight. I lost so much weight ( mainly fat) and got so toned after doing an hour of her videos 6 days a week because she is so motivational the way…

My favorite way of eating them are in sweet desserts so i can satisfy my sweet tooth with something decadent and not feel guilty! here is my favourite avocado recipe: Avocado Chocolate pudding: 1/2 Avocado 3 tablespoons natural cocoa powder 3…

1840 is not too many calories, especially if your young and lightly active. However if you feel like you want to lose some excess weight you can try cutting down to 1500 and do some weight training exercises combined with cardio for an hour about 4 times a week. I heard that is the best way to lose fat and gain muscle.…

Its always so motivating to hear from someone whose also recovering from anorexia! im glad that you have found a turn-around and got in to a healthy lifestyle! Yayy its great to hear that almonds arent complete fat busters and could help me put on the right weight if i dont abuse it, however today i ate about 4 tbsp of…

Wow thanx for all the great advice! I've never had so much support before, it makes me feel more positive :smile: it sucks though to hear that i will be gaining a lot of fat mass, this might send me into relapse so i will definately seek out a nutritionist and hopefully get things sorted. I am feeling much more energetic…

Thanks for the suggestion! im actually trying to start getting into make smoothies to boost my cals instead of bingeing on just nuts, much more variety of nutrition! im happy to hear from someone who has gone through the stresses of ana, have you fully recovered? if so how did u do it?
