Eat sugar-free So Delicious Ice Cream -- fiber which might help, plus fake sugars which are a diuretic to make you move. I I eat it, I always wake up the next morning and go.

coconut ice cream is the best! better than regular in my opinion, although it's way more expensive. you can get it at whole foods.

this guy i know basically has it: confident but not loud about it, attractive but not so much so that it's annoying, smart in ways that i'm not but not overall smarter than me, and interested in the world but not preoccupied by it.

I'm a nearly-recovered college student--I say nearly because eating normally is still a conscious choice rather than just "normal" for me. It can be done!

I'm only 5' 3" but I run about 4 miles a day plus walk probably 10 more (main/only form of transportation) so I guess when I write it out that way I'm probably not eating enough...thoughts?

He does definitely need to see a doctor, because any eating that is that restrictive--even if it starts with good intentions--can very easily become disordered. To me it sounds like orthorexia (obsessive "healthy" eating) and that is still very bad. If he's afraid of traditional doctors, maybe recommend a naturopath? Or…

I felt like that due to a structural problem, food allergies, and a natural taste for healthy foods, and I ended up with full-on anorexia. Be careful! When I ate about 900 cals a day I was always comfortably full, but it wasn't healthy. Now I eat 2300+ per day, feel more hunger than I ever used to, and weigh only a tiny…

The only issue is like the above poster said--you need to make sure you're varying your diet enough. And with that much fiber drink a lot of water otherwise it can be problematic. But mostly, you're fine!

I've been recovering for about 6 months now and I went from about 800 cals a day to about 2300 now...You just kind of have to force yourself to get there. I was stuck at 1550 for a couple months--I felt great, but I didn't look any better and none of the outward symptoms were better. Then one day I was just like, "F*** it,…

I eat vegan 6 days a week and eat fish the other (this isn't a hard and fast thing, but it's how it works out). It's cheaper, I feel happier, and my digestion is better haha. It also really helps me deal with all the environmental stuff I've learned. Farms are mega-polluting, even small-scale ones, and growing the same…

I don't think it's from restriction...these aren't the things I restricted. Soy I /know/ is an allergy (it's been my whole life) and gluten I took a celiac test and while I'm not celiac I was close enough (it's a spectrum, not a yes/no thing) that they said I should cut it out. I have a digestive disorder which explains…

Yeah, I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, and soy, sensitive to eggs (meaning I can't have a fried egg but I could have a piece of bread with egg in it, if that makes sense), and I can't digest red meat.

Don't let recovering from surgery be an excuse to not eat enough! Keep netting at least 1000 and try to not connect the amount of cals burned with the amount I eat!

I like this! I will, at the very least, net 1000 calories or eat 1500 calories every day, whichever is higher. I know this is low but for me this is absolutely terrifying and I haven't done this in probably two years. I'll also eat at least 600 of those at meals instead of in snacks.

I found this link suggesting it is safe, which seems more reliable than the blogs and forums I found criticizing its safety. Also I found multiple doctors saying it is safe and only one, who popped up again and again, suggesting otherwise. http://www.edenfoods.com/articles/view.php?articles_id=82

God I hope not! I'm allergic to both dairy and soy so almond is my main choice (rice milk coasts more where I live). Definitely checking back on this thread.

Yeah, I've found, of all things, a "hot salad" with all kinds of baked veggies tossed with fresh spinach and tomato sauce for dressing, makes me feel really full for a long time, even better than protein. Although 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter can also keep me going for hours.

10, such a cute couple

I hate feeling so guilty whether I eat or not! If I restrict I feel like I've betrayed my recovery (because I have) and if I don't I feel guilty for eating and hate myself. I know exactly how you feel.

I've been hospitalized, worked with multiple nutritionists, my GP...nothing. But I got a naturopath who I didn't even tell about the ED (bad, I know) and her weight gain stuff and new allergy elimination diet have made it so I'm actually loads better! Now I eliminate food groups, not calories, which may not be any better…

I'm going to college in the fall and I want to be able to enjoy my last few months living at home with my parents and friends. I don't want to suffer. I don't want to argue. My eating is literally the root of every single argument, and I don't want to feel like everyone hates me because I argue with them so much. I'm just…

I'm gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, peanut-free! It's tough but I feel great, my allergies are waaay down, and I think I'm actually saving money. Squash, quinoa, and Ugi's brand bread have been my saviors, as has millet-based cereal and almond milk. Mmmmm. Feel free to message me if you want more specific ideas!

I've actually been having no problems with protein! I eat a TON of almond butter, lentils, and black beans. Basically two or three servings of each every day. Yummm.

I'm in the US and there seems to be a pretty good market...but how do you guys do when you're eating out together? I so far haven't found any restaurants that I can really go to. Obviously just looking for ideas here since it sounds like we're on different continents!

Thanks guys! It's a trial diet for eczema and general inflammation. At the end of six weeks it'll probably be waaaay fewer (I hope!). The complicating factors are that I live with my parents, work at a pizza restaurant four dinners a week, and have a limited budget for these alternative foods. And that I need to gain…

As of last week my doctor has me on a gluten-free dairy-free diet...and no one told my grandma, who was cooking the dinner! Don't know how that happened. So my dinner was a glass of almond milk, salad with olive oil (because she didn't have any dairy-free salad dressing!) and a few sprigs of asparagus. Yum....not. I…

I'm 5' 2 1/4" (that 1/4 matters!!) and I'm trying to gain up to 105lbs. As it is I'm barely managing to stay at 95 (I have a digestive disorder) so we'll see...

I work at a pizza restaurant. For a large 12-slice cheese pizza we have 1 cup tomato sauce and 11oz cheese and one slice has 230 cals. If that helps!

Do you work in a restaurant? With shifts like that it kind of seems like you might. I work at a restaurant and when we're on break or when it's slow we're welcome to use the ingredients to cook for ourselves and the crew as a whole. From talking to other people I know it isn't like this at many restaurants--we have pizza,…

cut in half and scoop out the inside so it's like two bowls. microwave for 10-15 minutes until soft, adding water or broth as needed. meanwhile, chop and sautee onions, bell peppers, and spinach. add pre-cooked rice to veggie mix so it gets a little crispy, if desired. you could also add an egg here. when the squash is…
