- Coconut milk is fine and so is red curry Sultanas and grapes? Can we have these can we ralley eat as much fruit each day as we like (as long as with protein, e.g. nuts)? JOE says- Don’t go mad on fruit, especially grapes and dried fruit, they contaqin heaps of sugar. Wouldn’t you rather reach for a nice refreshing stick of asparagus Balsamic vinegar? Can we have it? We did buy some apple cider vinegar as well. JOE says – Sorry only vinegars allowed are naturally fermented wine (red or white) or ACV (apple cider) all are alot better if they still contain thge mother cloudy stuff Can we have hummus if all it has is garlic, check peas, lemon and tahini (ground up sesame seeds)? JOE says- Yes. It is on the limited list though, ie no more than 3X per week. this is because Chick peas are legumes What teas can we ralley drink can we drink caffeine free tea? JOE says- NO, you can drink, herbal and fruit infusions If we go out for dinner can we have a baked potato with our steak? JOE says- Yes Do you have any restaurants that you would recommend for dinner in the City given 90% of them will serve us things that you won’t allow us to eat! JOE says – Any South American, Russian or Eastern european What sweet / dessert like things can we have (excl fruit and nut and yoghurt) JOE says- You just named them How much yoghurt am I allowed each day I like to have it for breakfast (with fruit and nuts) and desert at dinner (again with fruit and nuts) JOE says – Go for your life, must be natural and live Real sausages (fresh from a good butcher) JOE says – CHeck they do not contain breadcrumbs How often can I have a banana? JOE says – No more than 3X per week if you want weight loss not at all Anyhow, apart from the above can we confirm that: nando’s chicken is ok (and they have fresh cooked fries so they must be ok as well) JOE says- Nando’s chicken is okay!! The fries are not good quality prime steak hamburgers (e.g. McDs) are ok JOE says- Home made hamburgers are Okay made withg NO breadcrumbs red wine (not ralley alcohol as it is nothing like beer) JOE says- RED WINE IS GONE, Cheeky bugger Fresh ice cream any thought? JOE says – As long as it is ralley natural unsweetened yoghurt Anyhow, end of day 2 and I am starving! This better work as well as it did last year! JOE says – You shouldn’t be starving eat until you are two thirds full, not stuffed. And always make sure when you go to bed you always feel as if you could have eaten a little more Go the 3 day protein blast to give you a kickstart

thank you! i myself have been struggling lately. I have been obsessing about working out and drinking just water and everything. i would weight myself before and after each workout. Now i am realizing that i would rather look healthy instead of brittle like a skeleton.

It’s great to see that you can openly talk about your eating disorder. I’ve been dealing with my anorexia for a year now, and it’s really inspiring to hear from someone who has recovered. It’s a daily struggle; I have to physically force myself to eat some days because I just don’t want to, but I know that if I don’t make myself I’ll slip right back into the disease. I have to tell myself that in a month or even a week, it won’t be as bad as it is today. It’s a miserable life, worrying about every calorie that goes into your mouth. I hope I can get to the point that I can say that I am not just a girl who has to be thin to be happy.

That's a very powerful story, and I'm glad we got to hear it. I'm glad things have gotten better for you, and I hope others can relate with your situation if they're beginning to go down the same path.

That’s amazing. Sadly in life sometimes you have to fall to really succeed. And your success and your kindness in sharing it will not only inspire other girls in your shoes, but let them know they are not bad people. I give you congrats for surviving, succeeding and sharing. I wish you the best of luck in your life.

Wow. Thank you for so much for sharing. After reading your article, I think that I maybe heading down a path that is not safe. I have begun to diet in order to feel better about myself. I think I should just focus on eating healthier, and not focus on not eating.

Thank you for sharing.

i had a good friend who had an easting disorder and as a friend of someone suffering it's really hard. it's hard to see someone go through that and accepting help from anyone. it's such a serious issue and what is so hard is that so many people just start dieting then it gets out of control. it's almost as if the fraction of americans who aren't considered overweight are the ones who are struggling with an eating disorder www.provocativeremarks.com
