@Viper yeah... I understand... But it's not how you do this with someone with an eating disorder.
They are trying to change her ...but Force doesn't help. It's about education, and negotiation. Letting her have 'some' control. Having no control, is the fucking reason this shit starts in the first place.
She should have some say, and imput to what she eats, how she eats, and how much.
Also... When your stomach has shrunk...thats a LOT!
It could even make her feel physicslly sick, and set off her disorder again.
Her body, stomach, and gut flora needs time to adjust.
This isn't the way to eat when recovering from an ED.
Smaller meals or snacks more often is better.
And she should be learning to cook and make nutritious food for herself.
Bulk crap is the worst thing to feed to someone who has body issues.
@apersonnamedit well honestly... I'd be eating less of the pasta,, and more of the chicken.
Protien is better processed by your body. It'll go to cell structure, muscles and organ maintinence. Carbs are mostly for energy. Energy that ends up being stored if you don't use it.
I think it would do you good to Learn about what types foods do, how they interact and metabolise.
Learn to understand food and take control of its benefits , not fear it, and use it badly.
Like... Starches with proteins are tough on the digestion... They slow it down. General rule for better digestion and synthesis of nutrient is : Veggies + starch... or Veggies + protein.
It was the best thing for me. Food is powerful... It can even change the power of your thinking, immune system, and mood.
Food is full of enzymes, chemicals both good and bad. And how you use it can affect you. One nutritional imbalance or deficiency can mimic a disease... Like :vitamin B for example... Not enough will make you tired, slow thinking, breathlessness, numbness,, fatigue and poor memory, palor, dizziness, mood swings .. Even depression.
Use food FOR you, not against you😊
Being lean isn't a bad thing, when your nutrition levels are high. You can still have good health, and be thin.
It's all about what you put into your body, not how much.
@OogieBoogie I'm vegetarian hence why I got the plain noodles. Sometimes my mom will make vegetable based food because I guess a lot of Asian food is veggie heavy however my dad complains and wants meat based food because he is a big meat guy. That's a chunk of the issue. I cook sometimes at home but cooked more on my own.
Most food around here if my dad complains is meat,potatoes and maybe a veggie. If too much Asian food gets made in a row my dad throws a fit. I do need to learn though the right ratio for me. Like protein and veggies like you said. I'm supposed to be meeting with a nutritionist soon so maybe they can help me.
