Anne asked:


Aside from weight gain, what other physiological disadvantages are there to binge eating? Perhaps knowledge of these will deter me from binge eating.

I can imagine that it’s not so good for the heart, metabolism, etc.

Thanks very much

my friend got bulimia a month or so ago. Her boyfriend dumped her and she got really depressed so she binged heaps then put on 8kg. then she couldnt get out of the bingeing habit so she puked up everything she ate so she wouldnt put on more weight and her metabolism is stuffed and slow. She is really depressed all the time and im worried about her.

Taylor asked:


I am recovering from anorexia an do not know what is normal. I almost end up binging. Then i freak out that i have become a binger. Is it normal to eat so much and will it mellow out and how do i know when i have “stabelized” with my eating and metabolism. I have been like this since around the middle of december

Shawna asked:


im a recovering anorexic and i dont know how many calories i should be consuming if my metabolism is pretty slow. i exercise everyday but not too much. i do about 30-40 mins of powerwalking and some weight training. how many calories do i need if i have exercise in my daily routine? and what should i be eating, how much of it and how often while recovering from anorexia?

Love, Peace, Cullen ? asked:


I am recovering from anorexia and I`m being told by doctors that I have to eat a lot because my metabolism is going through the roof right now. I know that when your body is starved your metabolism slows down but what I don`t understand is how it speeds up so quickly once you get back to eating. So is it true that I`m in a hypermetabolic state right now and that my metabolism is sky-rocketing, and why is it doing that?
