FACT--mercury is more toxic to the human body than lead or arsenic ever thought about being. Question? Would you knowingly consume lead or arsenic? The answer why no one (including the FDA) is doing nothing about this issue is that so many products contain corn syrup and it would be too costly to stop the use. As with everything...

That seems ridiculous and such a health hazard.).<BR/><BR/>DenniseT O'Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729242236198683931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161145992070861069.post-49153544044636491362009-01-27T22:16:00.000-05:002009-01-27T22:16:00.000-05:00Hi Sarah,I am glad you enjoy reading Small Bites! ...Hi Sarah,<BR/><BR/>I am glad you enjoy reading Small Bites! Thank you for getting in touch.<BR/><BR/>Your question goes beyond the scope of my expertise.<BR/><BR/>The best thing you can do is find an eating disorders specialist in your area who can work with you to help you acquire healthy eating habits and explore how you handle emotions with food.<BR/><BR/>Since you mention having eating disorders in the past (which tend to return at times high of stress), it would be best to speak to a professional about these issues.<BR/><BR/>I wish you all the best.Andy Bellattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994079922078627050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1161145992070861069.post-226841740386715402009-01-27T20:58:00.000-05:002009-01-27T20:58:00.000-05:00Hii I love your blog I have a question maybe you c...Hii I love your blog I have a question maybe you can answer wasn't sure how to get the question to you. I'm 23 years old weigh about 130-135 at 5'5'. I was in a really good place fitness wise about a year ago at 120-125 working out daily eating really mindfully, then some outside complications of stress and depression took over and I began binge eating to the point where in October I was weighing 160. So late October I finally began my road back to health. My problem now is I'm only eating about 900 calories a day because that's how Ive been able to drop the 25 pounds in three months and working out 6x a week. Ive stopped losing weight and I'm scared to consume more calories and know that I cant take it any lower. Ive had eating disorder issues in the past so I fear my metabolism is a complete mess. How can I go about repairing it while losing weight? Hopefully you can address this question or topic on a upcoming radio show of yours!
