Hey ! I just wanted to hop on here to thank you for making this video for us! I really learned a lot and I did find some unconscious mistakes that I've been doing recently. You helped me a lot already but I cannot be thankful enough for people like you on KZread for being so real and open-minded. I hope you receive a lot of good feedback! Love you girly!

Hey, for HA recovery, it's suggested to go over 2500 calories. However I'm petite 5 foot tall...do i also need to have 2500 cals or above to get my periods back? I'm 17, with a history of ed... it's been sickening to see my cals going up...please reply to how i shoulf adjust my diet from now on. I'm looking to recover but falling back to my old habbits of restriction

Hi!!! I often find clients do need a considerable amount of calories if they have a history of disordered eating or an eating disorder. This is because restriction or over exercising can create a huge energy debt that we have to repay during recovery. There also might be an element of needing to weight restore. So I would start by focusing on regular eating FIRST then increase each meal/snack over time to be an adequate amount. If you find yourself reverting back to ED behaviours I would try to seek support so you have someone in your corner to help you through those difficult moments, like the recovery coaching we offer.

@@sarahlizking I've a dietician who has arranged me a weight gain meal plan. However I am not yet able to incorporate it in my diet... I'm too fearful to do that... thinking I'll gain weight significantly. However I know that it'll make my recovery longer...despite, I am still struggling due to the fear...could you make a video or suggest some tips on this psychological aspect of Ed! It'll help people like me more

Another great video, Sarah - thank you so much! What are your thoughts on a protein shake (with full-fat milk, say) as a snack? Is this only appropriate for someone who is physically active in recovery (doing more than just walking, eg. strength training)? Will it dampen my appetite/interfere with digestion etc.? Thank you :))

In general protein is still important! But making sure that energy intake is allowing for enough carbs and fats is something I recommend. So you'd probably need to add more of those to a smoothie to make it a good snack option
