A bad night - a massive gain?

Anyone who sucks in 7000 cals at a crack while "dieting" will, sooner
rather than later, be going back to start weight.

That's the basis for Overeaters Anonymous--abstinence "one day at a

"thing". I tend to sweat too much over tomorrow--or next week--when I
know I have a meal-event coming up....

I don't overeat, then try to
make up for it over a few days like some people do.

.....I do just the opposite, I will cut waaaaaaay back for several
days, to "get ahead" of what I know will be too indulgent of a meal.
Either way is actually considered a bulemia behavior--a "non-purging
behavior", as one is still attempting to "get rid of" the consumed
calories. An eating disorder counselor told me that these behaviors are
liken to people who try to "catch up" on sleep, they are really
counter-productive. And of course, we do them anyway....

I think calling it a bulemia behaviour is a bit extreme. Of course, it
depends how much you cut back. But seems to me that it's just normal life -
oh I'm having a huge meal tomorrow so I'll just have a salad today. Isn't
that what "thin people" do?

I agree with you 100 percent! Food Nazis dictating the amount of food
you should eat are toxic to one's soul.

For example -- several years ago I went to a conference in Seattle
related to health and one of the presenters noted (as she was
presenting her research) that her subjects had huge, huge calorie
swings from day to day and I think this is true for a lot of people.
Sure has been true for me in the past. And, of course, there are days
of the week that are far easier for many people to control their
calories. (Friday and Saturday are probably more difficult for people
than Tuesday and Wednesday.)

Some of the food Nazis not only say that people should lose weight
very, very slowly (slowly enough to demotivate people) but also say
they should eat the same calories every day, etc. Mark Mattson, PhD,
neurobiologist has found that eating every other day has helped
protect mice and rats against brain damaging factors, such as
concussions, Alzheimers like conditions, etc. He believes that
skipping meals may be healthier than three meals a day. His stuff is
very respected and I'm sure looking forward to his human studies.

At any rate, GOD herself didn't say eat the same number of calories
daily. If this was a requirement for health (and it would be
impossible to do this in the real world), the human race would have
died out long ago.

Yours truly,
