Fresh fruit, handful of nuts, yogurt, chicken, vegetables, and exercise. Eating every few hours keeps your metabolism at it's peak.

Try taking a 15 minute brisk walk before eating, then again about 30 minutes after eating. 5. Journal everything! What food you bought, what you drank, ate, did for exercise.

If you have to have a snack, eat the healthiest, low carb thing available.

The best thing to do is not have junk food in the house, if you can't stop with eating a single portion. Replace the chips, cookies, etc with fresh cut up veggies, such as carrots, celery, radishes, broccoli, or cauliflower.

m glad you posted here. Unfortunately binge eating and anorexia are like different sides of the same coin. You have an eating disorder. The good news is you CAN become a "normal teenage girl" and get recovery from your eating disorder. The problem though is it's not something that can be achieved easily with "tips" or "tricks". Eating disorders are complicated and have many causes.

The three neurotransmitters, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin that affect mood have been studied extensively in relation to food. There is a strong indication that the production of these neurotransmitters is related to the type of foods we eat. It is suggested that when we eat too much of carbohydrates there is an automatic response from the brain for excess release of insulin to control blood sugar.
