Hope that helps.
Edit: That's not to say sugar's bad. You do need sugar.
r they bad? xx
Nope. Both are relatively low in sugar, but are filling etc as well.
Edit: Nothing's 'bad', as such. Just eat a bit less of it if it's high in fat/sugar.
No, you shouldn't. You need a nutritious and relatively high calorie breakfast to start the day, which salad just won't do. If it's the calories bothering you, have your cereal with skimmed milk, or maybe juice (I don't like it, other people do) If you don't have a proper breakfast, you'll be more likely to snack during the day =more calories.
You eat cereal for your lunch and dinner? Then what do you eat for breakfast?
I'm a failure!!! xxx
So, breakfast at 8 or whatever, and then another meal at say 4.
This may not be what you want to hear, but have you ever considered that you might have an eating disorder? A completely carb-based diet could be storing up some serious health issues such as diabetes. In any event, since carbs are the most easily digested of all the main food groups, eating a carb-rich diet in the evening almost certainly means that you will be storing unused energy as fat.
All bodies need a balanced diet: protein in order to repair themselves and grow, fruit and veg for essential vitamins and fibre - without which you risk damaging your immune and digestive systems. Essential oils also benefit your hair and skin. I, for one, would be interested to know how you came upon this "all cereal" diet. There are plenty of healthy alternatives that would allow you to eat a more varied diet without gaining weight.
I think this one's more for health and wellbeing than straight food... going to move it now.
ill start when cereals all gone, having blood tests on tuesday but they always come back normal so im not damaging myself
xxx
not yet, maybe.
but the long-term damage could be heartbreaking.
im confussed xx
also, other people on here with eating disorders may find your threads triggering. i know i do. i suffer from some sort of eating problem and i'm currently trying to get better but reading your threads makes me feel awful and guilty for anything i put in my mouth.
people aren't getting at you (i've made the same mistake in the past and have had people having a go), they just don't want to contribute to making you more ill.
that's a very good post. totally agree. we will still be here to help, so never think that we don't care.. but we do, honestly.
