Nutrition food plan for a recovering bulimic?

My girlfriend (18) is a recovering bulimic and I was looking for a food plan that would cover one day.

could anyone share a plan that they have been on because that would help so much

thankyou

That is AWESOME that she's on the road to recover and that you're supporting her.

Clearly a doctor or nutritionalist can help but here are some general tips:

Small meals - bulimics often eat large meals because it's easier to throw up when they feel very full. Small meals are better anyway (for anyone) but in her case you want to avoid her feeling too full since she may feel she needs to throw up.

If you can help her to eat 4-6 small, healthy meals per day she'll be in really good shape. Talk to her about what foods she feels "comfortable" with and start with those. Pastas and breads should be avoided unless she really feels those will help her - they tend to make people feel fuller which won't likely help her.

Drinking plenty of water is good but again, in her situation it might be bad to drink too much as it can again make her feel bloated.

The biggest thing though will be your support and understanding. If you can't get her to see a doctor or nutritionist about it, then maybe you can find some books that will help.

Basically, you need to help her get into the habit (both mentally and physically) of eating 4-6 times per day. So whatever healthy foods she feels like she can eat is fine to start. If there's a cereal she likes that's a great start. She may feel better about drinking meal-replacement shakes or eating "power bars" for some of the "meals". That's fine too as they can be a healthy part of a good diet.

Keep the portions small and don't try to force any specific foods on her. Let her know she's in control and you'll help her every step of the way.

Good luck to you and to her.

More important than the food at this point, is that she needs to see a therapist who is trained in dealing with eating disorders. She won't be successful with any nutritional plan until her inner turmoil is resolved....

How about this?
