Food help?

[Horsemad1]

So, I'm still waiting for my dieticians appointment. I have been waiting for well over a month now and we have yet to hear anything. In the mean time whilst we are waiting for the appointment I'm constantly loosing weight. I do honestly want to get better and feel less faint! So I am wondering if anyone can suggest any foods that can help with weight gain or foods that they ate whilst recovering from anorexia? Thankyou. Xxx

Well hello! Sorry your appointment is taking soo long. I ate really healthy food, like vegetable soup with chicken and bacon. I ate garlic every single day. Healthy food is ANYTHING NOT PROCESSED. Steak. Eggs ham. I personally went for a high protein diet, I suffered really low iron. Pistachio nuts, almonds. The whole smoothie thing did my head in so I juiced leafy greens - beetroot, celery, mint, parsley etc) I drank a juice concotion every other day (it was gross) carrots and celery. Does that help??

The waiting period is the worst - I would suggest that you do need to eat a balanced diet - so protein, carbs, vege, sugars and fats - not missing any group out. Suggest you try to include some cereals, bread/rice/potatoes, fish, eggs, milk, meat, some low fat spreads on your bread - and cheese would also help for the calcium. Vege and fruit are fine - but won't add to the weight. Try to make sure you don't substitute drinks for meals - its easy to fill up on fluid! Hope this helps.

A healthy eating plan is pretty important. Three meals and two snacks. My daughter attended a clinic and that was the regime. It is tough to get into but that was her goal.

Thankyou everyone so far i have manage to eat just a little over 1000cals in food everyday for the past 3 days, I'm finding it hard. I am trying to drink less coffee and eat instead but I get scared of how much weight I'll put on, I don't want to be huge! xx

Ugh I'm finding this so hard! Way harder than I thought my CPN wants me to write my calorie intake down and I can't even get over 1000 the past few days! It was 500 the other day and 750 the past 2 days xxxx
