MeadowLily Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Follow up question to this, what is technically called a binge? Too much of the same food? Is it what they call in the book food without breaks? If you have a family member or friend who binges, how do I best help him/her? There are so many posts on the forum mentioning binging, it's worrisome. Is whole30 a solution for binge eating you think? I think the Whole 30 is great for anorexics. It gives them accountability and a roadmap to follow. They need to read the books. The forum and blog can help them put the Whole 30 plan into action. Anorexia is different than binge eating. Anorexics need accountability to keep eating. Their thinking process is unique in that they do not want any additional weight or pounds. They will dial it down or quit eating if their clothes feel tight. They know exactly what their numbers are without getting on the scale. “Binge eating is what we call ‘loss of control eating.’ You feel like you can’t stop, even if you want to.” " It may be related to depression, anxiety or a strong genetic risk." "They may need psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or group therapy. If we have a family member or relative who is a binge eater...examine the family history. Binge eating and diabetes can go hand in hand. Binge eating can be the handwriting on the wall for diabetes down the road if left unchecked. We can see these patterns with friends and family. A binge and then immediate denial, "I'm back on track....I never give up, I'm back in the diet and restrict phase" until the next urge to binge comes along. Binge eaters can regain every pound and then some within 30 days after 30 days of diet/restricting. The only way to prevent a lifetime of binge eating and get out of this endless loop just might be going for therapy. Binge eating usually starts in the early 20's but it can last an entire lifetime. The only way a binge eater can maintain or avoid rebound weight gain is to develop a maintenance plan. Without one, the odds of maintaining are very low. As a recent study found, almost 80% of people who have lost a substantial amount of weight ...regain every single pound back within 3 years time. This even includes those with a gastric sleeve or WLS (weigh loss surgery). Binge eating left unchecked does not go away with surgery. The urge or being driven to binge is still there. It's not the quality of food that the binge eater is going for. It's that over-stuffed, full to the brim feeling they want. If binge eaters would replace vegetables for the sugars....not nut butters or nuts; not nutty bars or dried fruits - they could get that same over-stuffed-full-to-the-brim feeling without destroying their pancreas ability to handle years and years of binge eating. We only have one pancreas. Using vegetables to create a new behaviour to overcome the urge to binge is a beginning. It's called "loss of control eating". Far better to binge on every vegetable under the sun than revert back to sugars and fast foods. If completing a series of Whole 30's does not take the desire away for binge eating, it may be the time to seek out therapy. The pancreas can handle only so much sugar. Far better to deal with it now than end up a diabetic later in life. Another binge today is not a cure for a food addiction. It can be the handwriting on the wall for diabetes in your future.

MeadowLily Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Official answer here: http://whole30.com/2014/06/dear-melissa-eating-disorders/ Yes, excellent. http://www.amazon.com/It-Starts-Food-Discover-Unexpected/dp/B00PMCGFRS SHOW US WHY YOU ARE WHOLE30® 2 May, 2014We are thrilled to roll out our newest campaign, designed to spotlight you, our Whole30 success stories. Over the years, we’ve received thousands of emails from our readers, sharing their Whole30 experiences, struggles, and incredible, lasting results. This month, the Whole30 is getting more mainstream press than ever, with stories featured in the Wall Street Journal,ELLE.com, Harper’s Bazaar, and the Daily Mail. But mainstream media is getting it wrong. They’re labeling the Whole30 a “quick-fix,” an “extreme diet,” and a “weight-loss plan.” They’re focusing on the scale, and not the incredible life-changing experiences you’re having with the program. We know that we are so much more. You know that we are so much more. So now’s your chance to show the world what the Whole30 is really about. Improved energy. Better sleep. Increased self-esteem. Happier moods. More regulated emotions. Reduced cravings. Better performance. Eliminated symptoms. Food freedom. We’ll be launching our #IAMWHOLE30 campaign on the @Whole30 Instagram feed, starting immediately. Post your favorite photo representing your Whole30 journey, and explain why you are Whole30. Tag @Whole30 and #IAMWHOLE30 and we’ll choose our favorite stories to feature on the Whole30 Instagram feed, Facebook page, and Twitter account. Follow @Whole30 on Instagram, and start tagging your photos@Whole30 and #IAMWHOLE30. To complete the campaign, we’re taking pre-orders for our new I Am Whole30 tees and tanks. We’ll run pre-orders from Friday, May 2nd through Friday, May 9th, and will offer you eager beavers a 10% discount. Shirts will arrive on our doorstep at the end of May, and we’ll make sure to ship them out to you ASAP. Visit the Whole9 store to pre-order your I Am Whole30 shirt or tee. - See more at: http://whole30.com/2014/05/show-us-whole30/#sthash.idgW1UCu.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutlifr Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 great official answer. I just wish there would be a whole30 subject header pointing to this response. This way, new members suffering with this disorder would see it right away. I for sure did not see this article before. Sigh!.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Lauren Hutton reveals the beauty product she's used for 50 years For more than half a century, actress Lauren Hutton has covered glossy style magazines and modeled on designer runways. At 70, her features are just as striking and beautiful as they were when she first stepped on the fashion scene in 1963. So what's her secret? "Well, I’ll have to tell you that I’ve been slathering myself in coconut oil since I was about 22," the accomplished beauty told fellow model said.
