Question by : How to bet out of binge eating habits?
I binge eat, not too badly, like 300-800 calories at most. I just eat too much. I have a very fast metabolism so I hardly gain any weight, but over several months I’ve put on about 20lb, or maybe 15 or 10. It’s not really noticeable. But I want to STOP!!! This is not a sustainable or healthy habit!!! Help please??

Answer by Mateeah
300-800 isn’t binge eating, that’s an average caloric meal. I’d say over 1,200 would be binge eating… because surprisely if you go to Mc donalds It’s easy to eat 1,000 calories.
If you fill the urge to eat a lot, I’d say grab a piece of gum or start chugging down water instead. Be really consious about trying to eat slowly and don’t try to rush meals. Don’t worry, 300-800 calories is the average size of a meal
I have a health blog at greenleanteen.com if you want to know more. Good luck

Question by : why are some people so weak when it comes to certain addictions like alcoholism but others can handle it?
Is it in the genes of people?
Best answer:
Answer by me1982
I think that its a possibility that alcoholism is genetic and that could be where is starts, but as far as your question I think its all about mental capability and strength. Beating the disease requires the user to be strong mentally, strong enough to work through the hardships. Those that are weaker give up and thus remain as is. My husband and both of my parents are alcoholics, and none of them have gotten clean…they all suck.

Question by summer-night-dream: what kind of alcoholic beverage should I buy as a gift for my friend?
I will visit his house and he is a lawyer at the age of 40. I just thought of buying a bottle of drink from the duty free shop at the airport. Any suggestions? Whiskey maybe? Please recommend me some brands and type of alcoholic beverage that is not very expensive. Thanks!
no wine suggestions please, he doesn’t like wine.

Answer by CN
There are some lovely red wines in widely varying prices. Italian reds are my personal favourite but the chilean merlot is also very fine.
Spirits such as brandy and whisky make good gifts but it really depends on your budget, which you should get. With whisky try to buy a single malt. Either Scottish or Irish, rather than bourbon.

Question by everybody loves 3000: What is your opinion on/impression of Alcoholics Anonymous?
I know some people see it as a cult of sorts. Also, have you ever been to a meeting?
Best answer:
Answer by BDC
I go weekly although the religious crap is really starting to get to me.
The meetings themselves aren’t *supposed* to be inherently religious as to be inclusive, however sometimes certain meetings become that way.
If over mention of God and Jesus offends you, you might want to try another self-help group besides AA like Second Chance (which doesn’t even do the whole 12 step thing).
Over all though, my experiences of AA have been pleasant.

Best answer:
Answer by ianswer.
you have to burn more calories then you eat…
normally in a day you burn off every Calorie you eat, but if you exercise every day you will burn even more !!! you should be eating about 800-1000 calories a day but if your burning 400 extra calories a day, you will be on the right track.
and if you ever get a temptation to eat junk food, think to yourself that if i eat this i will have to work SO much harder to burn it off.
the key is cardio.

Question by : How did Alcoholism play a role in the destruction of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s lives?
F. Scott Fitzgerald is the author of the Greta Gatsby. Need some info on him for an essay. Answering this question specifically would be best. Thanks
Best answer:
Answer by J Davis
F Scott was always jealous of what he perceived to be Zelda’s greater talent. His turn to alcoholism created a green eyed monster in him that led to his constant belittlement of Zelda, which in turn created a great lack of self esteem. He would degrade her constantly in their relationship both in private and in public, thus causing rifts between them and psychological damage. F Scott was too wrapped up in his own private misery and lack of success compared to Zelda’s free spiritedness.
