be happy of your body but also believe it is what you make of it! not eating is not a reaction by your brain instead eating is encouraged in order to meet the vitamins nutrients and protein your body needs to get through the day and promotes brain functions. not eating can also cause problems to the functions of your hypothalamus. if there has been any new medications in your regimen maybe that is a problem. i would encourage an exercise program as it has helped me in a daily routine of eating. exercise is necessary among individuals whether you are overweight or not due to the release of endorphins which is food for your brain and makes you feel better. i was able to trim 6% body fat in 3 months due to a steady exercise program of 6 days a week and i am even eating 5 meals a day to keep my calorie intake high. i would suggest the first week starting slower with 3 days a week in order to loosen your muscles. stretching is also a very important key to a successful workout in which should be done before and after. the best advice is to not give up on yourself. losing weight and eating healthy takes time to adjust but noticing results will help your morale and motives on a daily basis. your diet is the most important thing and needs adjusting in a more strict regimen of what and when to eat. if you begin exercising running for a half hour will burn roughly 300-500 calories depending on speed. keep in mind that is simply a large fry from mcdonalds. completely cut all of those greasy foods out and begin eating healthier to feel better. boosting metabolism is a great way to start so drinking a coffee or green tea in the morning is a great way to do so. no soda. milk is necessary for calcium but stay away from the fats! try almond milk for lower fat content and higher calcium water is a great thing to drink as it keeps you hydrated and well. breakfast: possible one-a-day for key nutrients and vitamins otherwise get cereal with vitamins and nutrients. my favorite is post grape nuts which has a lot of the vitamins required for a daily intake along with protein. oatmeal is also another good way to jump start your day. eggs are a great breakfast food for the proteins and omega-3. lunch: my personal go to is a peanut butter and jelly on wheat bread greek yogurt and banana. tuna fish sandwich is also a good lunch meal dinner: be creative! pasta and chicken that is not breaded is very good for glutamine and starch for energy. quinoa is my personal favorite as it contains every essential amino acid (really good cooked in chicken brother instead of water). rice is another good one and i also prefer fish. these foods and more such as split peas and soy beans will help you keep a healthy balanced diet which will lower your sugar and saturated fat intake. i really hope this helps as it has changed my life greatly!
