Patient discussion about eating disorders.

Q. What do you eat after a workout? What do you recommend a person eat after a cardio session? what about a lifting session?

A. i usally eat fruit,and water, then in the evening i eat low carbs,or a salad.

Q. Eating too much during stressful time My sister in-law is currently at home at a terminal state, so now I have to look after my brother’s family, and I cook for us. Although I make good and satiating meals, I still find my self eating sweets every evening, probably to distract myself from the sight of my dying friend. I know it sounds inappropriate to think about it when my sister in-law is dying, but I’m afraid I’ll gain weight (I’m have couple of extra pounds already). What should I do?

A. It sounds like there's a bit more than just eating more lately because you are cooking and at home more. Maybe this stressful event in your family and the difficult emotional state you must be in, is causing you to be in a more depressed or stressed mood, and eating sweets is your escape. I think you should first realize that, and next you can decide you're stoping with the compensation eating habbit. Try and find something else to do to distract you, like watching T.V or listening to music, taking a walk outside, etc. If you feel hungry eat proper meals and small healthy snacks in between. Eat what you cook with everyone else during meal time and not while you're cooking.. Hope you manage to handle it all at once.

Q. What to eat when I am on a diet? I love food. You can find it from my appearance. I am shy about getting married. Someone suggested that I should go on a diet. But I feel hungry even when I am on diet. So please satisfy my hunger by telling me what to eat when I am on a diet? I want to be slim before my dream girl comes into my life.

A. TRY to stay away from processed foods,i do not have a weight problem,but i snack on frozen fruit bars,or dried fruit...you can loose weight,you just have to change your diet,and the amount you eat....my wife was never big..but..she had some extra weight she wanted to get rid of....she joinded weight watchers,and snack on their products....she counts calories,when she cooks....and it has worded for her....YOU DONT HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO LOSS WEIGHT........mrfoot56
