Question:
How can a recovered anorexic lose weight healthly?
In the past 6 months I've pretty much fully recovered from a serious eating disorder i had for a while. I've been working out and eating what im suppose to but i cant seem to lose any weight. I work out 3-4 times a week and eat a 1600 calorie diet. I just want to be more healthy but it just seems like my metabolism is really slow still and i keep gaining fat, not muscle. Any advice would be great, thanks.
Answers:
Your metabolism slows tremendously when you are not eating enough to keep it active. It may be that your body is still recovering from when you weren't providing it with enough calories, and it's just slow to get back going again. Working out and eating healthy are always good choices. But never overdo it. And since you are recovering from an eating disorder, it may also be good to have a partner to keep you on the right track and not let you fall back into old habits.
It may seem slow right now, but your body should start to get back to normal soon. Just keep doing things the healthy way. Hope things continue to go well for you! And best of luck with your continued recovery!
