What to Expect: WEIGHT REDISTRIBUTION & OVERSHOOT | Eating Disorder Recovery

[@alanadorris1274]

Thank you for highlighting this! I've had so much change this first year and such uneven weight gain. Still trying to get my period back and need to establish consistency with my eating so just need to be consistent

Stay on it, it's so worth it! I made a video about all in where I talk about the same thing ❤😊

Hanne was searching for this topic and her video was posted at the perfect time for me! Could you make a video to talk about how to introduce foods that we prohibit into our routine again? I recently started eating sweets and desserts again, I've always been IN LOVE with sweets, I've always eaten a lot of them and I had a very healthy relationship of permission and love for these foods , I was always called Ant by my parents 🤭. But I feel like since I introduced them back into my diet after severe restriction due to anorexia, I want them a lot and in large quantities, how do I balance that? I must eat very very much of them until it balances out or with weight restoration and adequate nutrition will I be able to eat everything without wanting to?

[@HanneArts]

Great question and thank you for sharing your story. I'll try to get to it asap! ☺️🙏🏼

My dietitian told me about this experiment and now I’m scared because i definitely restricted a lot more then the patients so what will happen when I recover? Will it be the same or take longer or never recover

[@HanneArts]

Even where the individuals were put through the same level of restriction, outcomes did differ. It gives us a sense of what to expect, but no one person's journey will look exactly like another ❤️

[@Twigtailstudio]

@@HanneArts okay :) I’m going to keep going and as much as it sucks sometimes I DO want to recover because being bloated for a few months is worth living the rest of my life.

Maybe I misunderstood. In the experiment, the men were 140% of original body fat levels after weight redistribution? Did this ever return to pre experiment levels?

[@HanneArts]

They initially overschot their pre-experiment weights and fat mass. This did return to pre-experiment levels but took varying amounts of time for the different men (I believe the average was about one year later, if i remember correctly)
