Binging

Hey guys! Today i want to talk about binging. Its utterly gross and deadly. You know why? Because you can eat yourself fat and eat so much one day that you cant breathe or you cant walk. Its ruining your stomach because its being stretched to its limits. For me a binge is 300 calories which isnt bad but when people reach rock bottom by eating 20000 calories on a binge, the crap gets deadly. Then youre gonna want to burge it out of your system which ruins your esophagus. Read Wintergirls if you think this isnt serious. Stop binging guys and eat healthily.

Whenever you feel the need to binge, drink green tea without creme or sugar. Green tea suppresses the appetite and its also 0 calories so you can drink however much you want.

Love always

Yummy Greek Salad

1 cup shredded lettuce (5 cal)
1/2 cup spinach (4 cal)
8 grape tomatoes (8 cal)
1 fresh squeezed lemon (12 cal)
1/8 cup feta cheese (50 cal)
6 green or black olives (24 cal)

This is my take on a Greek Salad. I personally dont like onions. So the recipe is just over 100 calories (103) and its a salad so you can just toss the ingredients in a bowl and mix it all together. Hope you like

Quick Little Exercises that You Should Do at Least 3 Times a Day

Do three times a day (usually after meals but if you're fasting or restricting low calories, just do times that work for you):


- 30 jumping jacks (legs and arms should stretch out as far a possible without you falling down).
- 20 squats (you can do these standing up or against the wall if it helps. keep legs parallel to the ground).
- 15 lunge kicks (First you lunge, then you kick the strained leg forward. You should move your arms as  you do these).
- 20 torso twists (put both hands behind your head and doing vertical twists, bring the opposite leg up to the opposite elbow ex. left elbow down to right knee. They should touch).


You can do this as few or as many repetitions as you'd like.Just remember the longer you do this routine, the more reps you'll be able to do and the more calories you will burn. Have fun!!!!

List of Stuff to Lose Weight Fast

Here is a list of what I feel are good tips on how to stave off hunger from an ana standpoint, and still keep yourself healthy. 1. WATERWATERWATERWATERWATERWATER!!!!!2. Hot liquids make the stomach expand causing your brain to feel full, and green tea helps with weight loss so start drinking!3. A glass of hot lemon water in the morning before you eat anything will help boost your metabolism 4. Infuse your water with berries, citrus, mint, cucumber...whatever suits your fancy. The vitamins and minerals diffuse into the water over night and then you have guilt free nutrients all day long. 5. NEVER let anything past your lips that isn't natural! No processed foods, no junk. Just pure (that doesn't necessarily mean some things like nuts and dried fruit, popcorn, some chocolates, etc.)6. Do not eat or drink anything with fake sugar (that includes sport drinks, flavored water, and diet sodas!)7. Try not to eat anything bigger than your fist. After all, that's about how big your stomach is and anything larger will stretch your stomach!8. Chewing gum keeps your mind thinking you are eating, mint keeps your stomach thinking you are eating, and if you make it sugar free then you are a walking binge-avoidance. 9. Keep your house full of low sugar and negative calorie fruits and veggies. When you need to binge, just eat your fill of negative calorie foods and your body will have to burn calories just to eat those calories. You will feel full and satisfied and never have to pay for it later.... (see list below)10. Numbers do not lie: Do not eat anything you do not know the EXACT amount of calories it contains 11. We often confuse hunger, taste, and thirst. If you are feeling hungry, try liquids first, or something small with very intense flavors. You may find you don't need a meal or big snack after all 12. Make a list of ten foods that you should strive to never eat again. Every other day or so, add another. You'll be surprised what you realize you don't need in your diet to live and look better 13. Always fidget. You can burn up to an extra 800 calories a day just by staying active 14. Starting the day with high proteins helps to boost metabolism and keep you full all day long. However, some proteins are worse for you than others. Plant based proteins do not contain the fat that poultry and eggs and nuts do. Avocados aren't too great either, but the fat in avocados is at least better than that of most meats. Try for a tofu scramble, or a smoothie with some silken tofu and berries. 15. Hunger pangs do not necessarily indicate that you are hungry. That is the acid build up in your stomach. Remember that FOOD IS FUEL and if you don't need to fill up your tank, then don't! However, that acid hurts. Tums are a great way to curb that acid with very few calories. I get the mint ones, which are 15 cals. 16. Keep a garbage bin next to you when you eat. When you've had enough, just throw it out. 17. Before you eat anything, think about the last thing you ate. Remember the smell, the taste, the texture. This tells your brain that you are eating, so it will register sooner when you've had enough. 18. Stop sitting! It's bad for your health and it won't help you lose weight 19. Less sleep stimulates appetite so make sure you are getting enough! (6-8 for most of you). Also, if you are asleep, you aren't eating....20. Focus on each bite you take. The excitement will wear off and you may not want to eat any more.21. Weigh yourself before and after you eat. 22. Stretch often. It is relaxing and it makes you less prone to injury when exercising 23. Play with your food. It helps to slow you down so your brain realizes you are eating and you get full faster 24. Always leave a little bit of food on your plate. It is a sign of a meal well spent and of personal strength to leave food behind. It's like saying, "I had JUST enough"25. Eat with chopsticks. It is fun, it slows you down, and it's good practice for when someone expects you to use them someday 26. After you eat, brush your teeth. It leaves you less inclined to continue eating and it's good for your mouth and teeth. 27. Listen to your body. If you need food, you need food. But also be body conscious. If you are craving chocolate, maybe you don't need chocolate, you need magnesium. Etc. If you have a craving, google what that means, and choose a healthier option to get the nutrients your body is lacking. 28. If you hit a plateau, kick your metabolism up. Maybe you need to eat more, maybe you need to eat less. Be smart. Think about what your average is, and do the opposite. If you usually take in 1000, eat 100. If you normally eat 100 eat 1000. see how it works for a couple days.

Simple carbs are one, two, or at most three units of sugar linked together in single molecules. Complex carbs are hundreds or thousands of sugar units linked together in single molecules. Simple sugars are easily identified by their taste: sweet. Complex carbs, such as potatoes, are pleasant to the taste buds, but not sweet.There are two groups of complex carbs: high fiber and low fiber. High-fiber, complex carbs are not digestible, at least not by human beings, because we do not have the enzyme to do the job. Cows have that enzyme; that is why they can get calories out of grass, and we cannot. The main stuff in high-fiber, complex carbs which is indigestible by humans is called "cellulose."High-fiber (high-cellulose) vegetable foods are the healthiest choices for human nutrition, and intake of these foods is associated with lowered incidences of hypertension, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc. Examples are lettuce and broccoli. Examples of low-fiber, complex carbs are banana, tomato, squash and all cereals and grains (therefore bread and pasta), potatoes and rice.It matters not if a carb is simple or complex. After digestion, it appears in the circulatory system in the simple form, as glucose, on its way to the cells where it is used for energy. To be transformed into simple sugars, complex carbs must be digested by the enzyme amylase. Amylase is secreted by the salivary glands, which empty into the mouth, and by the pancreas, which empties into the head of the duodenum.Simple sugars and low-fiber, complex carbs represent a threat to health when they are consumed in inappropriate amounts ... Processing of plant food strips away its fiber and/or vitamin content. A simple example of processing is cutting an orange in two pieces, pressing the juice into a glass and discarding the fiber.While it is true that fiber is an important part of your diet, even necessary to protect you from some diseases, carbohydrates themselves are not necessary. There are "essential" fatty acids and "essential" amino acids (from protein), however there are no known essential carbohydrates.Most of our carbohydrates come from cereals and grains, both products of the agricultural revolution. Our bodies are not genetically designed to thrive on large amounts of these fiberless complex carbs. With the popularity of cereal- and grain-based "health diets," carbohydrate metabolism has been upset in approximately 3/4 of the population which simply cannot handle this large load of carbs. Increased insulin output from the pancreas, over the years, results in hyperinsulinism, insulin resistance and the resulting diseases mentioned above: hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis and heart disease.Complex carbs with lots of fiber should be consumed in proper proportion for maximum health and vitality. Complex carbs with lots of fiber are rich sources of necessary vitamins and minerals as well as enzymes when in the raw state. The problem happens when carbohydrates are altered by processes which provide empty calories stripped of much of their original food value.... The most healthy form of sugar is the complex carbohydrates present in high-fiber vegetables; however, it is certainly acceptable to spice up your diet in moderation with simple sugars in the form of whole fruits ... Eat your fruits, do not juice them and drink them, unless you are on a juice fast ... Eating the whole fruit results in the inclusion of natural fiber, which allows proper absorption of sugars. If you must have juice, dilute it with twice the recommended amount of water, so as to get the taste without overdosing on simple sugars.The Result of Excess Carbohydrate Intake... The high-carbohydrate diet which is now so popular causes the pancreas to produce large amounts of insulin ... Because insulin's action is to drive glucose into the cells, this results in chronic hyperglycemia, also called "high blood sugar." A large portion of this sugar is stored as fat resulting in obesity. Excess insulin also causes hypertension and helps initiate the sequence of events in the arterial wall which leads to atherosclerosis and heart disease.Adult onset diabetes is known to be greatly benefited by the adoption of a low carbohydrate diet, moderate in fat, which stresses the importance of a regular intake of sufficient protein. You will not hear this advice from the American Diabetes Association, (or from most doctors) since they are still operating on the research as it was twenty years ago.... Excess fats damage the immune system through irradiation by free radicals during peroxidation of fats. Excess carbohydrates upset the hormonal system mentioned above (known as the "eicosanoids") and results in an imbalance favoring the type of eicosanoid (known as "prostaglandins E-2" or "PGE-2") which also suppresses the immune system. Thus obesity is associated with a higher incidence of infection.Source: Carbohydrates in Nutrition ß LINK: www.medical-library.net/sites/carbohydrates_in_nutrition.htmlFurther study: What are carbohydrates? ß LINK: www.carbohydrateaddicts.com/kinds.htmlThe "Safe"Fruit-2-0-plus This little gem is an Ana's best friend.

So yeah. Wish me Luck!!!!

Vegetarian Patty Recipe

This veggie burger is like 62.5 calories, so with 2 slices of 40 calorie bread, 142.5 calorie meal! (add mustard and a pickle, to make it around 150).

The Ultimate Veggie Burger (Vegan/Gluten Free/Grain Free/Low Carb)

Note: One of the great things about these veggie burgers is that they are completely customizable to what you want/like/ have on hand. This recipe calls for 3/4 cup of veggies, but the sky is the limit to what those could be. You can use veggies that are fresh or frozen and defrosted (measure after defrosting). You can also use a mixture of veggies totaling to 3/4 cup. Let your imagination (and your taste buds) run wild!

Adapted from Live, Laugh, Eat

Makes 2 burger (recipe can be easily doubled or tripled as needed)

Serving size: 2 patties (entire recipe)

Calories: 125

Fat: ~1.5 grams

Ingredients

1/2 cup chickpeas prepared using the Low Calorie Beans Method (You can use canned beans instead. Perhaps another type of bean would work too?)

2 Tablespoons chickpea flour

1 egg white or 1 1/2 teaspoons egg replacer plus 2 Tablespoons water

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a food processor, combine all ingredients and pulse until blended (but not completely pureed; you still want the burgers to have some texture). Heat a greased or nonstick sprayed skillet over medium high heat. Spoon half the chickpea mixture onto the pan and spread it out with the back of a spoon to form a patty shape. Repeat with the other half of the chickpea mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden, and flip. Cook on the other side for a few more minutes or until golden and beautiful then turn off the heat, transfer to a plate, and devour.

Starting a new diet with a friend

The Alice Diet is going to be my saving grace. Its supposed to help you lose 15 to 30 pounds if you stick to the diet like white on rice. Its 22 days and consists of a one day fast period the consumption of tea, and 500 calories or less depending on the day. I need to lose twenty pounds by the end of the summer and this seems as though it will take me above and beyond what I need to be.

My Personal Diet

So I've created this new diet that I want some people to try. It's called the Mardi Maigre Diet (or the Mardi Mince diet). Both mean "Skinny (thin) Tuesday" in French. But Mardi is my last name so it means Skinny Me.

Diet Guidelines
Drink at least 4 glasses of water a day (I'd prefer if you'd drink 8 to 10).
Do not consume any drinks high in sugar (you may drink diet sodas and 100% juice).
Eat at least one green leafy vegetable a day.
Drink a cup of tea in the morning with breakfast (no cream no sugar).

On FAST days (it's 5 in total) you can drink all the liquids you want as long as they're 0 cal.
Do thirty minutes of exercise each day.
FAST days: 30 minutes of yoga

Welcome

This sight has been created by me in order for me to write down my feelings, post words of encouragement and other things. Be aware of the fact that this is a Pro-Ana blog written by a female with what some may call a "disease" while others like me may call it a "lifestyle." If you do not like what I have to say or what I have written, then leave my blog. It is for me and others like me to thrive off of and learn about ourselves. You've had fair warning about the content on this blog. Without further adieu I say "Welcome! to the Mad House."
