If you are hungry all the time, increase your calories a bit and eat some healthy fat at each meal. There is no benefit to super-fast results if you design something that you can't stick to.

That's a really unrealistic goal. There is no quick fix, sorry.

You are losing weight. Why would you want to change anything? If you keep eating at a deficit, you should keep losing weight with no problems. Eating less carbs, more fiber and more protein can help control hunger and it can help with dropping a big of water weight but it's not a magic charm.

Are you logging your food and weighing and measuring what you eat?

If seeing someone who is trained in helping someone with an eating disorder is out of the question and you want to self-help yourself through this (which is the hard way to do it) then make a commitment to yourself to educate yourself on binge eating and what you can do to begin normalizing your relationship with food. Its…

Anything under 150 and I look sort of strange and sickly.

Don't be scared to do exactly what your doctor says you need to do in order to get healthy. Be super honest with him/her about what happened and also your concerns about weight gain. If you were hospitalized due to a mental health problem then gaining weight from treatment is really the least of your worries right now.…

The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile which helps with fat digestion. It should have no real bearing on weight loss. However, people who have had a cholecystecomy may have trouble digesting certain kinds of fats. Coconut oil is a great fat for people with no gallbladder because it does not require bile salts for…

There are benefits to controlling carbs. If I eat simple carbs, I get blood sugar fluctuations and I am constantly hungry. Eating moderately low carbs and making sure those are the kind that come with fiber (apples, fiber cereal) helps balance my cravings and my crashes. I'm certain that I could not loss weight…

Include his favorites and throw in a few things you would like for him to eat. Instead of trying to make major changes his diet, (won't work unless he wants it) invest in spending more time with him and get other people involved as well such as other siblings, old friends, etc.

Yesterday, after passing an important exam, I almost ate emotionally for the first time in 45 days, because I was happy. I wanted a bean and cheese burrito with hot sauce and sour cream. I ate a Kashi bar. It was not a good substitute for a burrito. <sigh>

You are very young which gives you the best chance of avoiding loose skin and having your stretch marks fade. Genetics play a role in how quickly your skin recovers but I can give you some nutritional tips. Your skin is an organ and it requires nutrients to be healthy. If you are eating in a way that is deficient in…

That is a big fluctuation for a few days. Are you certain that your scale is accurate and working properly? Is it a digital scale? If you are female, weight fluctuation during your cycle are normal and unavoidable. Up to 5lbs for me each month. Don't weigh yourself a week before your period and for three days after if…

Fluid retention is a recognized side effect of ibuprofen.

Chinese 5 spice powder. It's delicious on anything, I think.

Exploding hips (I suffer from that!) Can I borrow that expression, please ma'am? It's really hard when your own family makes you feel like that. The worst part with my family was that while they were embarrassed and sometimes really mean about my curves, dinner was always fried chicken, gravy, enchiladas, meatloaf, fried…

10 year old me "I want to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader!" Dad: "They don't let fat-*kitten* become cheerleaders." I wasn't really that fat, I was the type of chubby some little girls go through right before starting puberty. Years later, I talked to him about it. He had been drinking and he didn't remember it and when I…

Dude, stop spamming it, LOL.

Tofu and veg stir-fry? Just tell them no oil.

Go to the keto forum. There is no love for you here. BTW you don't need to be dark purple to be in "real" ketosis. It's lighter because you are drinking enough water. If you are flashing deep purple, you are probably dehydrated.

I always blot mine with a paper towel after draining. If it is going in something that has more fat, like the dish will have cheese, I rinse the ground beef.

Okra loves acid.. Make a fresh tomato sauce or add canned tomatoes or rotel if you like things spicy. Frozen okra is going to be slimy but it's less slimy if cooked in acid. Fresh okra isn't slimy at all. To add some protein, add a bit of low fat cajun chicken sausage (or shrimp or be crazy and do both) and some creole…

OMG. Don't let someone that sexiest, shallow and egotistical have any power or control over your feelings. He didn't earn it and he doesn't deserve it.

This kind of mentality kept me smoking for years longer than I should have. I would quit smoking then flub up and smoke one after two weeks and then go buy a carton. Once I learned to climb right back on the wagon after falling off, I finally made it stick. I haven't had a cigarette in four years now. I think that the best…

Another nurse and this place terrifies me sometimes.

It must be confusing to hear all these different opinions on how many calories you should eat a day. It seems like there is a lot of fear mongering. If you eat less than you expend, you will lose weight. 1200 a day might not be safe for you, I've seen people with as much to lose as you go that low, but that kind of deficit…

I'm not judging you but for the sake of your own sanity, you need to be straight up with him about the whole situation. He needs to know if there is a chance the baby isn't his. Prepare for him to be hurt, sad, angry and betrayed. If you love him, even a little, you will feel guilty the rest of your life if you aren't…

Do you have a history of any eating disorders? Pump purging is one of those diet behaviors that can really screw up your body.

Start by logging all of your food for a few days and then start looking at what you are eating and what you might need to change or swap out in order to meet your calorie goal. Makes some friends and build up a support system. Good luck.

I've never treated anyone for diet coke toxicity.
