Thank you so much for this. Ive come to the realisation that if I plan to make a full recovery I need to honour my cravings and stop counting calories.
So proud of you! These changes are tough but ultimately so life changing ❤
3:25 9:00
11:00 you need to focus on eating enough food right now
Eat enough
11:44 Go ahead and eat more. I encourage you to make sure that your body wants eating enough. Listen to your body. Fuel with whatever it needs whenever it needs.
11:55 And the key takeaway is nourish your body
11:58 Work on your relationship with food and yourself.
Because a really fraught relationship with food will only add to the recovery period, staying in a state of hypothermic amenorrhea.
Im back here to tell everyone that i lost ny period and struggle with it but after weight gain and rich diet i got it back and im a mom of 2 now😊
so amazing! Recovery is possible
Hii ! I am Louise, I am 20 yo. I had and orthorexia and deficit calorics for 7 months and I lost my periods. I am in recovery for 8 months and I still have days when I eat a lot ( 6 - 7000 k/cal). I took weight of course. How did you deal with your weight gain ?
@@sowhat. I didn’t take any coarse or count calories i just read that i had to gaint 8 to 12 kilos and that was my goal.. i gained around 10 and my period came every other month then became regular
@@OmgRazan Thank you for answering :)
@@sowhat. Omg that sounds exactly like me. Orthorexia and eating 1200 cals/day for a few months and I also lost my period. im 22 yo 5'4 135lbs I exercise 5 days a week intense heavy lifting workouts.. So Ive been slowly killing myself. I want my period back so Im gonna start eating carbs again, high healthy fats and eating more
Hi and thank you for your support on UA-cam and IG ❤i reach my carboidrates intake by fruit and veggies cause love it sono much ,i eat also protein and fats but Just a Little complex carbs cause dont love It,if i reach my recovery goal diet its ok?im scared BC start BMI20 but hipotalamic amenorrea by years and stuck in quasi recovery by years because normal BMI and gaining weight but low increase intake Cal (now 2100/2200) and still light exercise everyday,i count Cal BCause nonhunger cues 😕 thank you sooo much
Letting your body gain the weight it needs to recover is hard but so worth it! Keep nourishing yourself adequately and push outside of your comfort zone. Full recovery is so possible and if you need extra support definitely get in touch about our programs💕
@@sarahlizking thank you ❤️ i read a loooot of comments about fruit and fructose that can be not ok for healthy and the liver but if only crave fresh fruit, often with nut butter 😁its a problem? thank you for your support
do you personally eat 3 meals? much of what you were saying was about husband/ child. like do you make yourself a proper breakfast, lunch? I would love to see a general ball park day in recovery. WIEIAD I think can be iffy for those trying to compare in terms of restriction, but in recovery I think they could be quite helpful (provided the person is a professional and/or recovered themselves) to gage how much to eat or meal sizes, as one can be quite distorted when coming from a very restricitve/ fearful background.
I personally eat 3 meals and 3 snacks every single day because it keeps my energy levels stable. It's not too dissimilar to some of the things I mentioned in this podcast! I love a big bowl of oats with all the toppings for breakfast, usually a grain or pasta based salad for lunch with some kind of protein, veggies and a yummy oil based dressing, and often have a wide variety of different kinds of dinners but always include all main macronutrients (carbs, proteins and lots of healthy fats). My snacks are probably more like mini meals for some people but as a person with a past history of hypothalamic amenorrhea I readily accept that I have high energy requirements! I love big smoothies, granola and yoghurt bowls, banana bread with peanut butter and a milky coffee, and so many other things! I definitely have fun foods a couple times a day as well. This is the way I eat and it's very intuitive, but please know that eating ENOUGH for your body might be more than the above and that's okay!
Hi Liz
I think you tube skipped to next video when I wrote this comment hence why mentioning husband/ child 😂
However your response has been very helpful regardless. Just trying to get around volume of food, especially when I’m now a higher weight than when I lost my period and look heavy for my frame. I almost feel untrusting of professionals saying to eat so much because I just don’t believe it. Which is maybe why I’m still in recovery 🤔
@@sarahlizkinghow do you stay thin eating all that
is the 2000-2500 cals really necessary if you're not underweight or is it just more likely to guarantee recovery because it would be a surplus for most people? I have heard stories of women who have got it back eating under 2000
In most cases it's required! It's not just about the energy you need to get your period back, but the energy required to keep it. For most women who are weight restored (not underweight) that's at least 2500 calories a day. You may need more energy if you're still work on weight restoration.
i got it back while running 40+km a week and im not eating 2500kcal daily. i kinda got stuck at 51-52kg for a half a year and then it just came back randomly
one day
Thank you! So you would not recommend those extreme diets such as Keto or Carnivore 😢? I am afraid of carbs but can eat a lot of meat 😂
I don't recommend cutting out carbs or following any diets that create rules around what/how to eat. I think it just creates unnecessary fear and perpetuates diet culture! If you are genuinely allergic or intolerant to something as diagnosed by a medical professional, then by all means you do not have to eat that food. Otherwise we should be focusing on making sure we work on including all foods into our diet and allowing ourselves to eat nutritious foods, but also enjoyable foods.
