hon, weight aside coz this is a healing site we don't give tips on how not to pick up weight so im just going to concentrate on your real question, what's the side effects. No calcium - osteoporosis, no protien - all your cells in your body lack protien and that could be hazzardous - muscle and all organ wise, No carbohydrates - no energy and all of the above makes you sooooo much more prone to binging it's as if you don't have a choice, don't cut out hon, good advice ive been suffering really hard coz i cut out for so long. *hug* here if you need me *hug*

oh oh, and no carbs, energy wise, no energy to even try be ok! worst of all

Fruit and vegetables are great foods but you need a balanced diet with protein, milk and carbs in addition to the two. If you eat a bit of everything you won't be tempted to binge and get all the vitamins and nutrients you need.

At the moment I am living on fruit and fresh veggies only, and I feel great. I have energy and no desire to binge or purge. I plan to continue this way indefinitely.

fruits and veggies are good for you, but even vegans try to get the other things they need like protein and dairy. maybe you could make a fruit smoothie using your favorite fruit, soy milk, and protein powder. This way, you can continue to eat what you want, but you're getting a lot more from it. Because fruit and veggies alone at some point are going to do more damage than good. Try to squeeze the other food groups in there somehow.

If all you're eating is fruit and veg and you can't eat that much before you really can't eat any more you're not going to put on weight. Fruit has a lot of acid in so this may cause problems and too much can make you end up on the toilet a lot. You need to try and eat balanced so you get all your body needs why not try and add one extra food each week.

i eat lots fruit and veg
go for apples and pears
apricots are good for you to there in season now
dried figs are good for bowls
blueberries are yummy to

thanks guys. I think im going to talk to the dr about it next time i see her or my dietian but i suppose i no wshat she will say. im not too bothered that eating too much fruit will make me sit on the loo i can cope with that and without triggering anyone its kinda just another laxative at least im getting rid of it quickly. my only worry is that im starting to feel a bit sick especially wen it comes to thinking about eating so whether its to do wiv only eating fruit and veg or ed trying to get me to stop eating.

Add Avocados to your diet if you are not willing to add dairy, grains or meats. They are high in protein.

Also a great way to add protein is in smoothies, with silken tofu, it's from soy beans (veggies). Add 1 C frozen fruit, 1/4-1/2 the tofu, and some juice or soy milk and blend, add juice or water till it's the consistency you want, this will help add some much needed protein to your diet.

Emma, I have been down this road with my daughter and its not a healthy one, please can you make a list of other comfortable foods, and start working on a balance again, the problem is that fruit does contain calories, but not a lot of anything else, and the body will convert what it needs, therefore you may as well not confuse the body and just eat in balance. As time goes by your bowels wont work at all. You have done so well to get to where you are keep fighting on love ya xxx

Emma, ask for a meal plan designed to give you balance on your intakes, without this you are going to get very ill indeed. Fruit and vegetables will not sustain you, will not help your body repair, and you wont have enough energy as the sugars will have you all over the place and up and down and ultimately more depressed xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
