It's a big thing in America these days.

I think I have one. .-. I'm very skinny and unhealthy. No matter how much fattening foods I eat, which is alot. Half of the food I eat is like, candy, fruit roll-ups, twinkies, ect. I don't eat vegetables at all, only beans and corn. I barely eat anything, these days. I'm afraid I'm going to die from malnourishment. .-. Its just that, I don't feel hungry....So I don't eat. I'm not anarexic [typofail]. I think. o.o

I eat everything but not a lot. I get full really easily (I wish I could eat more but i can't oAo). I don't have a fast metabolism, I have quite a slow one. And regarding the fast metabolism, it's better to eat a balanced diet than try to load up on fat food. Eat a balanced diet, but like, eat as big a portion as you want xD. You need protein to build up muscle mass, the aim is not to try and pad yourself out with fat. Fat people tend to have quite large muscles. Eating too much sugar isn't great either. To me, eating too much sugar just throws your body off completely (I've never tried but I've seen other people who lived on a diet of sugar). Also, apparently you need some mineral/vitamins/some stuff (lolidk, I don't know the science behind it) found in other foods in order to build up muscle and fat. Just try and eat a good balanced diet and see how it goes.

 I eat quite healthily (but don't excersize, so I'm not too fit). I also know some people who think eating healthily is just eating nothing but fibrous vegetables. It's not, we can't even digest that stuff. Really, health is just balance. Timing of your meals is also key, eat 3 big meals a day or 6 small ones. I almost never snack (I don't really know if there are any good or bad effects of snacking by the way). Also, get a full night's sleep, most of your growing takes place while you're sleeping. So you need that sleep in order to use up your food efficiently.

My basic rules for health is eat well, sleep well and excersize (I don't do too well in the excersize area. Like I go hiking once in a while, but that's not good enough). Sleeping is the most important bit though. It's like when you turn off your computer to install updates, but with people instead.

Oh yeah, if you're one of those people who don't like eating vegetables, eat a few bits of fruit after every meal. Put bananas in your pancakes, put bananas in your cereal, put bananas in everything (bananas are a good cure for lack of fibre because they can go anywhere). Got sour strawberries? Put them in a salad (yes, the kinds of salads with lettuce and such. It's actually quite nice).

When you're having one of those days when you can't eat, do a sort of 'detox' day afterwards. Don't binge on fast food once you get hungry again. Once you're hungry, eat healthily, have a cup of tea and something that isn't too filling (like a turkey sandwich with lettuce, cranberry sauce and walnuts or a salad or something). Then keep eating healthily for the rest of the day. Don't eat anything fatty, oily or spicy and don't have any fizzy drinks. If you want something sweet, eat fruit. Maybe have fruit based desserts (ask me if you want recipes). No cake or chocolate or whatever. You should get back on track if you have one of these days. You don't necessarily have to eat healthily every day (I have those days when I binge on microwavable pizzas and fast food). xD

Also, another way to cure unhungryness is to excersize or do some work. Use up that food you eat. I find that when I work or excersize more, I get hungry faster.

Oh yeah, possibly the only thing I can call an 'eating disorder' is my painting, drawing or sculpting. Whenever I do any of those, I forget everything. When I finish painting or something (sometimes takes 10 hours), I feel an urge to pee and I become hungry. So I technically wouldn't eat if I'm working on something. Luckily I have family to stop me from working during meal times xD

I have a high metabolism too c:

:) Kayy.... Yes, you motivated me to make this because I know you're too stubborn to do it yourself c:

Woman, I will get an army to hold you down and force feed you celery :P

Myth, studies have shown that being obseessed with the amount of calories you consume actually is a bad way to lose weight. It's really ineffective and sometimes people gain weight from it. Just eat healthily, eat food that's good for you an excersize.

Choosing not to eat is actually going to lead you to have anorexia eventually. 'Even though people tell me I'm not fat, I know I am.' tells me that you are the perfect candidate for mental anorexia. That kind of mind set is bad. Don't bother how you look. If you know you're healthy, you look good. End of story.

I actually know someone who knew a girl who skipped meals and replaced them with water. DON'T DO THAT. IT'S STUPID. It may seem easier, but it doesn't work. It's also going to ruin your other organs, you won't just lose fat, you'll lose your whole body. You need to work hard to lose weight, eat well and excersize. Skipping food is the worst way to lose weight.

Just eat every meal and make sure your portions are reasonable. Eat slowly and eat until you feel full. Eating slowly helps because it takes about 15 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that it's full (pretty damn slow if I might say xD). Also, don't snack. Normally when you snack you eat junk food. That leaves you having less room for the halthy stuff you might eat in your lunch or dinner. If you can't quit the habit, just choose healthier snacks like carrots in humus (sp?) or something.

Oh yeah, here's a few things you should do to lose weight:
- Stay away from fatty meats like pork, beef, camel (with a strong emphasis on camel. It's really fatty)... The list goes on
- Deer (good replacement for beef) and fish are good not very fatty meats.
- Bake instead of fry
- Eat less cheese and creamy things
- Eat less carbs
- Eat a good proportion of meat to veg to carbs. Meat actually keeps you full longer and sometimes eating a little more meat makes a good technique for losing weight. Basically have a balanced meal
- Go for a stroll every day. Bring the dog out if you have one xD

I used to be a bit on the hefty side. But I've lost a lot of weight in recent years without thinking. I just go about my things normally and suddenly my pants are too big for me. If you keep thinking like the way you think like now Myth, you won't get anywhere. Lose weight properly, don't take the seemingly 'easy' way out that has major negative reprocussions.

c: thank you Ping, I think  this will really help

Kay, tell your mom that you tried an avocado at lunch and you now love them.

Thanks, Yoshi :3  Yeah, I just can't stomach breakfast so I used to take a granola bar to school with me XD
