Sign of Life: Nutrition Therapy for Disordered Eating

DIETING AND DISORDERED EATING IN ATHLETE

Have you ever heard Dieting and Eating Disorders, I think it global. Usually dieting is always related to teenage, supermodel, actor, and actress. How about athlete? Unsure, may be gimrama and gymnastic have something to do with it, I don?t know.?

Most of my athletes are teenager. Some of them are underweight. Do you think underweight athlete can have good performance? Hard to say, Normal is always right. So we work with athlete, coach and their parent to bring their weight to normal. After all, their weight not increase even half pound. So think menu, recipe modifications do not work.?

Why I'm so biased only concern about underweight. How about Overweight athletes. Only few of my athletes are overweight. With consistent , moderate and high intensity training is hard to put on weight. Athlete who are overweight usually are come from weight category sports like boxing, weight lifting. So nothing to do, just to make sure they eat healthily.

Ok back to how do I deal with my underweight athlete. I carry out EAT 26 test to 92 state athletes, 48girls and 44 boys. They have to answer ?to what extent your behavior fit the descriptions??. There are cut off points more than 20scores is likely suffer of eating disorders.?

The results are girls always prone to dieting and eating disorders compared to boys. 23 out of 92 are likely suffered of eating disorders. Subjects aged ranges from 13-18 years are more likely to suffer of the habits. So I think dieting and eating disorders in athletes are relevant. Therefore, further study has to carry out to determine the factors that may contribute to the problems. So we can deal with athletes better, and improve sport performance of the country.

At a first glance photo above look like big woman is cradling a small child, but she's not. The gaunt, wasted, woman, clearly suffers from anorexia and the large woman is clinically obese. Both women suffer from polar opposites of the same mental health problem - eating disorders - anorexia and compulsive eating. In my mind, they are both lovely women yet they gaze into a mirror hating the image that they see, They don't see themselves as people with personalities, they see images of ugly, disgusting carcasses. Both suffer with a poor self image, low esteem, a yearning for a better body and a need for control. One suffers with excessive control and the suffers with lack of control.

TRICK TO DEAL WITH THOSE UNDERWEIGHT

As we know who are anorexic or too underweight will compromise their nutritional status. So as you work with them, first thing you must have a good plan

1. Calculate their energy intake, and plan how much calories you want they eat in order to increase weight
2. Noted their eating habits...so you can plan trick to deal with them
3. Target to increase weight o.5-1 kg per month for outpatient per week for in patient
4. Use something high in thiamin for rapid weight gain
5. Use high energy density liquid form nutrition product as assistant instead of push them to eat full plate foods ( they won't finish it).
6. Encourage them to eat normal foods, I mean rice set, pasta, juices...something when we look at we know that is foods ha ha.
7. Since they may suffer of multi vitamin and multi mineral deficiency, use multi vitamin and multi mineral supplement.

SUPPLEMENTATION

Is hard to ensure them to eat full plate of foods, they may vomit behind us. So I suggest to put MEAL SHAKE in their drinks, or just give them drink MEAL SHAKE. Why MEAL SHAKE??

MEAL SHAKE has nearly all vitamins ( Vit A, C, E, B? and? lot more) and important mineral. High in protein . Rich in kalsium and Magnesium... and the most important vanilla tasted is delicious and acceptable. So only in a scoop of mealshake it have to replete multi mineral multi vitamin defiency. Improve bone density with calcium. Grow better flesh with protein. By time it help a lot in increase weight. From experience MEAL SHAKE increase appetite.

Beside, they need multi mineral and multi vitamin supplement. I suggest Shaklee Vita Lea. A multi vitamin and multi mineral supplement that contains all vitamins and minerals.
