My girlfriend eats one meal a day or not at all?

[Anonymous]

Some days she doesn't eat anything all day, every other day she will eat like a sandwhich all day. I'm actually really worried about her because health indications are showing. She feels ill a lot, she gets headaches when she doesn't eat. And her stomach hurts but she claims she isn't hungry. I feel like these are all indications that her body is begging for more nutrients. She is already vitamin D deficient and won't take vitamins unless I 'make' her. She won't listen to me either, she will just roll her eyes or say I'm not hungry but I'm actually truly worried about her..

Update:

Scientists say that by doing nothing all day the amount of calories your body needs to just exist is 1500. I can tell you that my girlfriend takes no where near this daily. And she is active running around at her job..

just taking vitamin D is not sufficient! suggest to her to take:

1. more vegetable and fruits, oat to stay healthy and slim. all of this stuff (oat, fruits and vegetable) are fibers, which provide vitamins, detoxification of your body and also reduce cholesterol. so she can eat as much as she can these food with no worries about gaining weight, it's literally will come out from her body everyday.
2. Take multivitamin for sufficient nutrition everyday
3. Eat wholemeal bread with protein (chicken, beef or turkey) sandwich for protein supply to her body, so it wouldn't be a problem. but she must have some protein in her daily meal!

consult her about nutrient, tell her that if she's lack of these nutrient, her skin and her face will look a lot older than her actual age in the future. Ask her, either extreme diet with aging face or healthy diet with anti aging face, her choice.

She thinks she is fat. It's not good, I agree with you. I have been in this situation myself and barely ate all day. Maybe eat a small piece of meet and then even go for a 3k run. So, the best thing to do is to give her confidence and say that she is stunning, she has an amazing body and she shouldn't compare herself to anyone else. She will be scared of gaining back weight because of eating more calories than she normally does. Maybe ask her if she couldn't go to a health nutritionist or dietitian in order to get a set out meal plan so that she won't starve and still lose weight... That's all I can suggest right now. Hope it helps?

If she won't listen to you, then you need to get help from someone who can change her mind. Whether it be a doctor, registered dietitian, her mom... she just needs a reality check that's all. Better be safe than sorry. Good luck :) I'm sure she'll be fine.

It sounds like she has an eating disorder. You need to take her to a counseling group or Eating Disorder Anonymous or something. You may need to do an intervention and have all of her family talk to her in one setting.

Probably self conscious about her weight or something.

[Asker]

I think she is the perfect weight.. I tell her she is beautiful and have not once called her fat. So I don't know where that would come from.

[Riggers]

I don't know dude, Maybe she was bigger when she was younger and has been self conscious since?

Maybe she has just been looking at some Uber skinny models and wants to look like them or something. I really don't know dude.

But, If she's not eating like that, Its pretty much guranteed she's doing it intentionally, And the only logical reason i can think why she would do that is to try and loose weight.

All the best with that bud.

I feel so bad for her. Get her eating a meal once in awhile and then eating two meals. Getting enough nutrition and protein in the food too. Make sure that she is taking her medications and vitamins daily. if she does not take her meds then say to her "do you want to be miserable" start talking to her about it. And Start taking her to a doctor often for check ups.

She's clearly got an eating disorder take her to a dietitian get her a reality check she'll realise she has a problem when she gets her results back trust me. I hope you can get it sorted out ☺️

[teawrecks]

Dude, sometimes someone just isn't hungry. I eat two meals a day max... and some days that's even pushing it because I just... don't have an appetite.

[IWillGiveYouABoner]

Well it's clearly not working for her is it

That sounds like an eating disorder to me. However, you can't make someone want to change.

[Confusedinthisarea]

Sounds like she's starting to get anorexic, or at least will be if she keeps on. You need to get her to talk to a psychiatrist, or find some other way to get her to eat more.

[girlie222]

She needs an intervention she has an eating disorder and its only going to get dangerously worse.

[Memora]

She won't try to change until she has a stroke. Get her to eat!

[bente2]

I think she might be anorexic.

The more you try, the less she'll respond to help.
