eating to starve cancer

Hi ladies, I'm 14wks1 and I want to eat EVERYTHING. I'm slim so don't want to give in to all the cravings, but it's just so distracting! Has anyone got any tips for ignoring the hunger? Just to clarify I'm not trying to starve myself, I'm just fed up of being starving every half hour! Thanks!

I am very sorry to read abt your kitty and the problems he is having, wow 19yrs old..he's lived a long wonderful and loved life but not without its hardships too, you've done an excellent job caring for your boy...I can understand how hard it is to make that final decision and when is the right time to do so.. I don't really think I can give you any decent answer to your questions...other than to tempt him with anything he may like to eat, have you tried a piece of chicken?

You wouldn't starve your baby once he or she is born, so don't starve baby in the womb

Hi there. I'm sorry I dropped the ball and didn't respond back. How are you doing? Working on emotional stuff like an eating disorder can take a while before therapy really starts to help. I also know it's hard to implement what they tell you. Have you considered medication at all? Hope you are doing alright and come back or an update.

I doubt it. By eating less, your body will get into a panic, it will think that it will starve, and therefore change your metabolism into keeping everything. Instead, you should eat at least three times daily, but choose more healthy options, low carb, high in protein meals: Lots of lean meat, poultry, tuna, low fat-no sugar dairy, veggies, fruits and raw nuts, cut down on pasta, rice, bananas, sugar, honey and potatoes. No alcohol, it helps, too. Good luck!

I have been thinking for the past little while that I must have an eating dosorder, but I dont know what to classify it as... Does someone know what this problem is?

Thank u so much nice to talk to someone about it x

You may have to check with the doctor to see if she is getting enough and maybe to rule out something being wrong. Sometiimes kids can't tell us that they don't eat because of that. My son wouldn't eat when he was younger either, and the doctors told me that when he was hungry to make sure he got good food to eat. I also used ensure and added a little ice cream to it and said it was a milkshake at times to make sure he was getting enough vitamins and minerals.

I will be 8 weeks on Friday and I can not keep much down when it comes to eating what is the best thing to eat or what is easy to keep down so that I don't throw it back up....?????

re experiencing these symptoms, it could be wise to eat on time. Eat on a schedule, do not starve, do not over eat, and do not go to bed hungry or on a full stomach. I had very high insulin levels because I have issues with Lyme disease also my work would lead me to starve myself, and then over eat, and then sleep. It really screwed up my whole body and now I have diabetes and screwed up insulin levels. By the way, doctors don't test for high insulin, only blood sugar. You need help.

Try getting her doctor to prescribe megace it is a liquid stuff they can give her to take to cause her to feel hungry it doesn't have bad side effects Try it and also try offering her foods that she really likes joyce559

If you have a difficult time controlling what you eat then maybe take a closer look at the emotions attached to eating. Most people are emotional eaters if that is an issue.

Am in my third trimester, just wanted to know what u ladies think about eating for two. How much food should be consumed.? I don't think I've been eating for two. I eat enough to fill me up but not a whole lot.

I was the same way. I would eat about half my meal and be so full and uncomfortable. Around 13-14 weeks I started being able to eat full meals again. I just ate every few hours because I would be starving again but only able to eat a little bit. Now I eat about three to four times a day. I'm so glad I'm not constantly hungry anymore. I'm suprised I didn't gain any weight either with the way I was eating every few hours but I ate mostly fruit and veggies between meals.

To me it just sounds like they are adjusting to a new home. Give it sometime, and while the chicken is great you might want to make them have no choice but to eat there own food. They won't let themselves starve. A new home is alot to get use to and it sounds like they are older so they may have been just set in there ways. It took my baby girl (half chihuahua half rat terrier) four days to get use to her new place and she still didn't act completely normal.

i just lost my dog last monday to liver cancer. she used to be a voracious eater and then stopped eating and was became very picky... she would only eat roasted turkey and just the dark meat. we tried all food imaginable (of course that are safe to dogs). she was loosing weight fast and we don't know if b/c her liver was pressing on her stomach, we even tried feeding her small, frequent meals. she would still throw-up...

Thank you I will try that!

I tried to force myself to fight the nausea and eat more after reading your comments. Now I'm having severe abdominal pain and diarrhea all night. I'm dehydrated, in pain, and my belly is so bloated. I have not told my doctor about this. I have a history of GI cancer. So maybe this could be"normal", but it wasn't always like that for me.

So your start weight is 160 lb and you want to go to 143? Because your profile numbers seem to be kg, but it says lb. How tall are you? My 5'8" boyfriend is extremely muscular and weighs 160 lb. Maybe you should put on some muscle and eat lean protein and vegetables and some fruit and nuts as the main part of your diet, and work out with weights using proper form. Aerobics are important too.

it is the only gland in your body that uses iodine, that is why when they want to kill the thyroid, they starve you or iodine so your thyroid will take up all the radioactive iodine and kill it off. I have no thyroid, so now I do not need to supplement iodine, I get it in foods, and I can't use it anyway.

I have a 4 year old son who just went to the doctor. I had to have them fill out a paper for preschool. The form has something called HCT/HGB and instead of checking normal or abonormal he checked Refer?? Whatever that means. He also said he has slow growth acceleration and ordered some blood work. My question is...how in the world do you get a 4 year old who has always been stubborn to eat? He will only eat ceral or milk.

t just go from there to eating a big meal -- you have to work back up to normal eating slowly. Right now, your metabolism is almost shut down, in starvation mode. Therapy, therapy, therapy.

If you starve yourself you are going to end up gainning weight, try the fat loss 4 idiots diet it really helped me lose weight fast good luck

Just started a diet, eating healthy and exercising-but now I am feeling extremely dizzy & just strange. What could cause this?
