Do you know someone who can't refrain from eating?

Hi jenith, I consider myself as a heavy eater I EAT A LOT and i am thin, it has something to do with my metabolism and I am so thankful to be really slim.. I eat a lot but I always make sure I did household chores and I always make sure I eat more veggies.. I hope she does. As what you've mentioned she's over weight, I think the person who can help her is herself by having self discipline. Eat a lot of vegetables, less protein and carbo.Exercise in a week will help her too. Have you seen biggest loser pinoy edition at ABS-CBN they really lose weight because they strive hard. I hope that reality show will inspire her.

It's important for someone who is on a diet to not get hungry. If she's unable to fill herself up at meals, she might reach for something sugary like a cupcake in between meals. But it sounds like her trouble isn't about sweets, it's about eating too much. Maybe she is not getting enough vitamins in her diet, so her body is always craving more, and no matter who much she eats she is not getting the right vitamins. Is she eating whole grain, and fiber? Grains are very filling, and fiber is great for tons of reasons. If she is really that hungry all of the time, it might not be her fault, she could have a thyroid problem, or something she cannot help. Also make sure she is drinking a lot of water, because sometimes people think they are hungry when they are really thirsty.

She was so hungry after every 2-3 hours, i am doubtful i can help her in any way. Maybe she doesn't mind looking really huge and heavy if she can't refrain from eating so often, she may need some brain scan to see whether her neuron constantly fire up inside her head to order her to eat. In some people, the malfunction inside a brain is the main result they can't stop or control their eating urges. I can only give advice on a remedy one at a time until the source of the eating disorder is pinpointed before further diagnosis can be given.

Yes, aherm that would be me. I use to want to diet a lot since I have issues with weight gain but I have learn to control this a few years ago because I have motivation to do so. It must be the same thing for you friend she needs her own motivation in order to make her lose weight. I am back to my heaviest weight now and just this morning I decided to control what I eat. I am not like your friend though who is always hungry. I don't want to make excuses so I will not go in that direction. Starting Saturday I hope to join the aerobics club in my neighborhood and make a good meal plan and practical exercise regimen for health sake. The change should start from your friend's desire to change.

Wow! That is some friend you got there. I was shocked. I'd probably be more shocked if I have a friend who eats like that in front of me. Her stomach must b so big how she can handle that much without vomiting. I have not known of someone like that. I knew that some of my overweight members of the family eats a lot but surely not like that.

For me, what she gonna do is that she is going to take a fruit diet. This is a very good diet.She is going to Eat lot of fruits this will be her meals on breakfast, lunch and a dinner..from time to time she is hungry.

with the amount of her food intake, it would be very hard for her to just eat 1 cup of rice. she will really feel hunger. what you've got to do is to tell her to gradually reduce her food intake. for starters, she could take small frequent meals. this is much better than eating a lot of food all at the same time. after a month of taking small frequent meals, let her start giving up snacks and just eat 3x a day. i am on a glycemic index diet and is very effective for me. the principle of this diet, is the quality of the carbohydrates and not the quantity. i started with 1 cup of rice for breakfast, 1/2 for lunch and no rice for dinner. then eventually eat rice once in breakfast and substitute my carb intake with whole wheat bread or pasta (but small serving only). i also avoid potatoes. i lost 5 kilos in 8 weeks.

That's really bad then. She need to discipline herself or else she will suffer the consequences of these over eating. She should be aware that unhealthy diet will give her some health problems and that she will regret it later. Give her more advice to take care of her health and not only listening to her cravings and eating disorder. have a good day jaiho®

She needs to train herself to stop eating. She needs to make her stomach shrink. Her stomach now is quite large [internal stomach I don’t mean she looks fat or anything] .. so what she needs to do is shrink it, because now she can eat and eat and eat until her internal stomach is full.. so if she shrinks it she can eat less. She needs to not eat, for a day or 2 at the most, this will cause her stomach to shrink, and the 3rd day, when she starts to eat again, she won’t be able to eat as much,. Then she reduces what she eats more and more.. or, if she can’t not eat for 2 days.. tell her to start cutting things out, one day eat 3 cups of rice, the next day 2, the next day 1.. then eat 2 or 1 for ages. You’ll find eventually she can’t eat the 2nd or 3rd cup of rice as her stomach has shrunk ?

hi jenith bring her to a nutritionist. She will be advised on what to do. I have been to a nutritionist before and I was allowed to eat only cereal for breakfast; 1/2 cup of rice, 1 cup of vegetable soup and fruit for lunch and 1 glass of glucerna or insure for dinner. During every meals, I was allowed to eat fruits and raw vegetables every time I crave for food. I was not a heavy eater before my diet. But I am overweight and still overweight because i didn't go back to the nutritionist. I was discouraged because when I went there for our scheduled session she did not come to her clinic. I was just advised by her secretary that she had an appointment with another patient. Now am planning to go back to her.

hi jenith:) I think she needs to discipline herself if she is already overweight, its not only so she could dress nicely, but for her health also, if she is obese then she have the high risk of having a heart problem and high blood and some disease that's related to obesity... I hope she could control her eating problem soon.

She has a heavy weight because she eats too much. If she can go on a diet, there is a possibility for she to lose weight. She should be determined and have strong perseverance. That is not so easy. Dose she have a boyfriend. If not, She might start to lose weight when she has a crush on someone special.
