Anorexia/Eating Disorders/Diziness after eating

Expert: Reverend Abbott - 7/16/2005


Question
Hi,

I have been feeling very dizzi for the last few days right after I start eating a few morsels. It lasts for about an hour after I finish eating. It is very strange. Do you have any ideas about the cause and the treatment for this.

Answer
If you're trying to "diet" by cutting back on food, the dizziness could be your body reacting with all sorts of imbalances that could end up being dangerous, causing heart problems, circulatory problems and much more.

If this is happening without any changes in your diet, you need to take this question to your physician, not the internet. You need bloodwork done, probably urinalysis and a physical exam.

I have lived it and survived it. I know every excuse, reason, thought, feeling and rationalization - and I'm going to be very honest in my advice.

Experience

I've lost (& gained)HUNDREDS of lbs over a lifetime, more than 30 years of "professional dieting". Presently a counselor for sufferers of eating disorders, a nutritional advisor and spiritual counselor (Reverend,doctor); I've been on every diet there is and used the most bizarre weight loss products you can imagine. I am FORMERLY obese, anorexic (several times), bulimic MOST of the time - and maintaining size 4, with no gimmicks, devices, programs, pills or supplements.

I currently investigate the diet industry on behalf of consumers who do not need to be ripped off while struggling to be healthy. I WILL expose them all and I WON'T be intimidated, bullied or bought. My advice is for cost-free options. I have nothing whatsoever to gain from my recommendation(s). I make no money from my website and I sell, promote, endorse NO diet/health products, programs or devices. You'll also never see me on the receiving end of a hidden camera report...but you can be assured, I won't quit until I've exposed those who are out to take advantage of you.

It's a matter of choices. We need to stop complicating things.
