How can one reset their appestat?

I feel as if I have lost the ability to feel full. Is there an eating program (not a diet) that can help people get back in touch with their hunger/appetite signals? I am just slowly overcoming an eating disorder and I think getting my stomach to be able to feel that "full" feeling again would greatly help my recovery. If anyone has any suggestions It would be very much appreciated.

How to Lose Weight Safely as a Diabetic

Recommended Answer:

It may be dangerous for me to recommend an approach without understanding what kind of eating disorder you've recovered from. I am not a medical professional, so my opinions are based upon my own experience with food addiction. This may or may not apply in your situation.None the less, there some general guidelines for healthy eating that apply to the vast majority of people. It's very helpful to consume a balance of nutrients without overdoing rich foods such as dairy (milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt), meat (beef, pork, poultry, fish), salt, sugar, fat, caffeine, alcohol, refined oils, and food additives. The optimal diet for humans is a Whole Food, Plant Based (WFPB) diet as recommended by the top nutrition researchers in the world including: T. Colin Campbell, Neal Barnard, and Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr.If you have a tendency to overeat, a balanced WFPB diet will eliminate the addiction to junk food and provide you with very filling fiber and phytonutrients. The biochemistry involved in overeating and food addiction is very well explained in the following book:"Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally" by Neal D. BarnardThe advantage of whole plant based foods is the fact that the fiber makes your stomach feel full and the phytonutrients give you a feeling of satisfaction. I personally follow a week long water fast (consuming only water) once every six months or so, under the careful supervision of a medical professional. This resets my appetite. It is safe if your blood work and other vitals are carefully monitored by a knowledgeable medical professional. For more information, read:"Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease" by Joel Fuhrman (Author) , Neal D. Barnard (Foreword) It's the WFPB diet that allows for rapid weight loss, but fasting helps patients learn to sense real hunger versus symptoms of withdrawal from addicting food like substances. Again, work with a medical professional who understands fasts. Some clinics offer resort like settings to teach you everything you need to do to follow a healthy diet.From a psychological perspective, it's very helpful to understand how we are genetically programmed to eat. I recommend the following book:"The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness Paperback"by Douglas J. Lisle (Author) , Alan Goldhamer (Author) I hope that this information will be of help to you.

How to Lose Weight and Breastfeed

Recommended Answer:

Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (it's lard + chemicals), soda (loaded with toxins), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells) and coffee (carcinogenic). No oil except olive and mac nut. To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice. Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ASK them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.

How to Lose Weight When You Have Hypothyroidism

Recommended Answer:

I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.
