Do you have mental symptoms of starvation?
In article , Ignoramus8954 ignoramus8954@NOS
PAM.8954.invalid writes I decided to repost my answer to Annabel, to see if anyone else can relate to the two articles that I am quoting. I could relate to a few items on their lists. The second article, which I am quoting only partially, is a great read! I dug up two very interesting references to which I can relate myself, to a small extent. I have every SINGLE symptom in your second article. And most of those in your first. I cook constantly for my family, including food I don't and won't eat. I write about food for a living. I hang out here. I collect cookbooks; I have over three hundred. I think about food all the time. The self- harm thing is also a factor, though I haven't yet cut off any fingers. Also depression, poor impulse-control, and panics over food. I know I've been stupid, but it never occurred to me that all these were linked. But of course I lost more weight than the guys in the study, and a bigger % loss, too. Erm... now what do I do? Call for pizza??? -- Jane Lumley |

OSPAM.16674.invalid writes I hate to say that up until about a month ago, I also had most of those symptoms. How much did you lose and on what sort of diet? I lost 50 lbs by "eating less and exercising", almost a year ago. I lost 45 pounds. Atkins and exercise. Also last year. More than 20% of bodyweight. -- Jane Lumley |

That's impressive. What is your method of maintaining yuor weight loss? Fairly obsessive exercise - 9 miles of intensive interval-based cardio and some endurance 5 days a week, weights and 1 hours' walking on the other two days. I am very active in general. I up it if my weight rises. Are you still on Atkins? Yes, but at around 35-40 carbs a day, which is maintenance for me. I struggle over portion control, though; if I get very hungry I tend to eat vast amounts. How about you? -- Jane Lumley |
