Diet @ MindSay

Recently I joined a forum for boys with eating disorders. Shear curiosity.

I always read that for each boy with an eating disorder there are 10 girls with the same problem. That's probably why I had never found boys in other websites that support this issue. I remember checking livejournal and seeing dozens of very active communities dedicated to pro-"ana" or pro-"mia" users, but none of them was a boy.

On this other forum, users are mostly boys and men, it is actually called " Boys with ED - The Forum!", part of the support site www.boyswithed.tk. Ed is our friend "eating disorder". By the way, "Ana" and "Mia" are also great friends, they're "anorexia" and "bulimia".

Amazing photos of underfed bodies are posted one after the other as each boy tries to thin out to perfection. Others post photos of their "thinspirations" or "thinspo", mostly male models. Occasionally we get to read funny stories that they come up with to avoid eating in front of other people. Good stuff to read with a good dose of irony and an open mind. It's incredible how chewing gum actually makes it into their daily calorie count..

What makes it so special is the fact that I'm talking about boys and men. GUYS not WOMEN. Unfortunately I won't post any of the content from that forum, since it is user restricted, but here's some interesting cuts from other public sites, inevitably, female examples.

From http://proanaquest.blogspot.com/ Kat describes herself:

"I'm a girl of contrasts. Caught between (...) hunger & self-depravation [deprivation?]. The desire to eat and the desire to be thin. Call it "food issues" or call it self-destruction. Call it suicide. I don't care. All I know for sure in life is that I MUST be thin, and that I will do anything and everything to get there."

From http://anabootcamp.page.tl/ (now disabled) we could read about the "Ana Boot Camp" diet, or "ABC" diet, fifty days with a promise of tricking our metabolism into high catabolism by means of a rather irregular intake of calories:

From http://thinobsession.zip.net/arch2007-07-01_2007-07-07.html the struggle of brazilian Nrichie into perfection, inspired by Nicole Ritchie from 70kg into 53kg (154 pounds to 117 pounds):

As a nurse, I should, but I can't condemn any of these attitudes. Actually, after seeing all the mess that exists inside our body, keeping our gastrointestinal tract shutdown is probably a good start to eliminate some of that mess.. I got to admit, there's some charm in fighting the urges and enjoying the feeling of hunger. Some insanely feel good charm.

"Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".

Hey guys! Been awhile eh? well, quick update, Im restarting my Get fit and look sexy operation again...

Last time it went pretty decent. over a 5 month period




I went from 190 lbs to 154lbs in 4 months...then, lots of shit was happenning...soooo i havent been able to work out fer awhile. I kept eating healthy though. and i maintained my figure and weight...but....well....lemme tell you a story.

Today, I was lifting up a 24 pack of coke and I had a hard time lifting it. FML.

Sooo, its time to start up the operationg once again!!! lol yea....since the last time i started it was on september as well....so yea...you know...thas prolly a good idea...you kno??

Okies. well...My workout plan for the month of september goes like this. Everyother day is weight and body training...then on the off days I do sprint workouts... gunna be crazy. of course with the help of protein shakes, i should be getting fitter in no time!
Oh and a healthier choice of eating too ofcourse.

alright, ill post an update on next monday with everything imma do. pz

I've decided to make some changes diet and exercise wise. I am going to start watching what I eat, making sure I eat healtheir foods and resist the sweets. I am also going to change my exercise/activity level. I don't have an exercise routine but I plan to make one. Hopefully today, we can go to Ray's house and we can pick up the workout bench set in his garage. It will probably take about a week to figure out an exact routine to do daily... stretches/warm-up exercises, cardio, muscle building, cool-down exercises. Wish me luck!.

 

~A.M.L.~

Men, this is the no-nonsense, straight forward way to lose 10 lbs a week. There are no gimmicks, no expensive meals to purchase and no fake diet pills. THIS is the sure-fire weight loss program that does what it promises or your money back guaranteed.

Take an honest look at yourself in the mirror. Are you starting to get a little soft in the paunch? Do you joke about taking the elevator when the truth is you’re afraid you’ll look like a drenched racehorse after climbing a couple flights of stairs? Have you stopped hauling your suits to the tailors out of sheer embarrassment from having to have the pants let out…again? Maybe it’s time you considered losing some weight.

I know when you want to get something done, you want it done yesterday. That is why you’ll be interested to hear of this method where you can lose 10 lbs a week. How do I know? Well, because I followed it and managed to lose over 20 pounds in 10 days! Never did I think it was possible to lose weight so rapidly without starving myself and running 10 miles a day, but this diet plan proved me wrong.

Here are the key differences between this diet plan and all the “others:”

No “girly shakes”
You have better beverages to quaff than one of those silly “milkshakes” in a can. Not to mention how you’d feel if the guys caught you drinking something with “lite” in the name. This plan allows you to eat REAL food and still lose 10 lbs a week, without resorting to a total liquid diet. Not to mention, have you seen the nutritional value of those diet shakes? A lot of them are packed full of sugar but not much else. You’ll quickly lose what little benefits to be found in those shakes from having to drink an entire pack in order to sustain you through the day.

No expensive diet pills
We hate taking medicine, anyway, so why introduce more pills into our diet? Dietary supplements don’t need to pass any sort of regulatory testing so the manufacturers can lie and say the pill will help you lose 10 lbs a week…even though it has never been tested to do so in humans. Worse, most claims are based solely on theory rather than clinical results. So don’t waste your money.

No starvation!
You won’t have to order two slices of cucumber at the bar like your girlfriend does. This diet plan understands that men have to eat, and not just eat sticks and twigs, but real man food. The key is in the combinations of foods that you eat, as well as a big dose of common sense. You won’t lose 10 lbs a week if you gorge yourself silly, but by following these meal plans, you will see the pounds drop off.

Easy to prepare meals
Most of the foods in this plan can already be found in your kitchen. There are no gross prepackaged meals to order. There is no need to learn how to slice and dice and whip up foods using foreign-sounding techniques. Grill it, heat it, or nuke it- that’s about all you need to know to follow this diet plan to lose 10 lbs in a week.

So if your woman is starting to call you her “teddy bear” through gritted teeth and askance eyes, maybe it’s time to do something about your weight. Sure, weight is a touchy subject for some proud men, but you’ll be even prouder when you show off the fact you were able to lose 10 lbs a week. You’ll look great, you’ll have tons of energy, your boss will give you a raise (well, we can dream) and you’ll feel a lot better about yourself. That translates into confidence, and you know how much the ladies dig a confident man. You lose nothing by giving this diet plan a try!
