I love when people accept that extreme hunger is a real thing! So many people claim they have "binge eating disorder" in recovery from anorexia and it's so frustrating because I just want to tell them all how normal it is and it's not a disorder. Thank you for this Erik, these ED chats are so great and informative!
I can literally promise you that you do not have binge eating disorder - anorexia and BED can almost 100% never turn into one another because they're caused by different issues. Any desire to eat a lot of food during/after anorexia recovery and having no way of controlling it is reactive eating and it is completely NORMAL and OK I promise! I fully weight restored from anorexia 3 years ago and i still have days where I sometimes feel the desire to eat a lot of food and am very uncontrolled towards it - it's reactive eating not BED I swear!
seriously this is normal - literally me a few years ago! Unfortunately its something you need to wait out - it will slow down and it will gradually stop just go with it because your body knows best. I know its difficult to think it will stp when you're in the middle of it but seriously I wish I could go and tell my past self that it will all be ok and it will stop and your weight will adjust to where it needs to be as long as you keep listening to it - I promise you wont gain loads of weight over your set point and stay there - usually you gain back to set point + 10% and then as your eating normalises it settles back to where it needs to be - seriously myself and so many of my friends in treatment have experienced this it is very very normal!
I've had extreme hunger on and off for the past 3 years because I've been refusing to just accept that I need to gain the weight. Fighting off the hunger is the worst thing I ever did. Finally stopped running to try and compensate for the calories and now I just feel like I literally never stop eating. It's so hard.
watched this the morning after my extreme hunger kicked in, REALLY kicked in, a few days into my recovery. thank you so much. i was going to have my usual restrictive breakfast to compensate but now i'm eating a normal one, with REAL PEANUT BUTTER!!! i want to cry but it's a weird mix of happy & anxious lol
I hope ur doing better! I am going through extreme hunger rn and I eat like so much ice cream and chocolate! I felt bad before but knowing other people go through this makes me feel better :)
Although I never had a full blown eating disorder, I still enjoy watching your Ed chats. I'm sure you're helping tons and tons of people so keep doin what you're doing Erik killin it
I feel like so many people in the fitness world here post about binge eating....and how to recover and blah blah. They don't consider this problem on a clinical basis and honestly, they have just labelled their cheat meal as binging. Those videos can be damaging for some viewers. I really truly feel like when you talk about eating disorders....it's straight from the heart and raw experience. You've actually been in treatment and you never talk about these things as lightly as some other RUclipsrs. I appreciate it because when these labels get tossed around I think the speaker have the time has no idea how real it is. Thanks for sharing your story.
I have to say, Erik, you deserve a million subscribers. Yes, you possess a jaw-dropping talent to consume mass quantities of food, which you show in your videos, but you also have videos like these, where you just speak honestly and openly with us, one on one. We know you care about other people, which is very refreshing, and quite rare in this sea of mindless videos.
thank you so much for making this video. extreme hunger was freaking me out and I wanted to restrict again, but I woke up, watched this video and decided to have breakfast anyways
Thank you so much for sharing your story! As a recovered anorexic (at least that's how I finally feel after almost 12 years). However, I wanted to add a clarification note! Refeeding syndrome does not refer to an increase in hunger once a malnourished body "allows" itself to eat again. It actually refers to the metabolic complications that MAY occur, but should not if you are being monitored by a doctor and a treatment team that is using an appropriate treatment plan. When a severely malnourished body is fed in an attempt to nourish them (as in an amount of food that is meant to help bring them back to health - although this could happen in any body that is malnourished e.g. cancer, starvation that is unintentional, alcoholics, neglected elderly) - there are metabolic and hormonal changes that occur which can be fatal. The chief concern is the shift in the electrolytes - especially potassium as hypo(low)-kalemia can cause heart failure (although a lot more fluid, hormonal, and electrolyte shifts are also occurring that can cause permanent damage). This is why gradually increasing the amount of food that those who are working toward recovery is so important, rather than those large binges as you mentioned happens for some (and I admit I experienced one of these during my recovery and it was HELLA scary). Binging is already hard on a healthy body, let alone a malnourished one! Sorry for the long text, I just wanted to clarify that refeeding syndrome does not happen to everyone and is actually not very common because of doctor supervision.
Currently in week 3 of my in-patient treatment, similar scenario. I have the biggest meal plan at the moment and thought I'd blow up like a balloon. Spent days very upset and depressed, but kept on pushing cause I knew it was for the right reasons and necessary to recover. Then in my weekly 'protocol' meeting with the team, I found out I dropped 8lbs (this was only told because of concerns and changes they had to make to my meal plan). Just showing how our minds make you believe what ED wants you to believe. Thanks Erik, these videos help fuel the fire to keep pushing! Keep up the great content.
Erik, thank you for sharing! I'm a vegan but I do enjoy watching your videos. I relate to this and that's why I went vegan, it was the only thing that felt right. I used to starve myself and eat 800 cals max/day for months... this fucked with my mind and one day I crashed, started eating soooo many calories. I constantly ate and ate and ate and it mentally would destroy me but clearly my body needed it. Thank you for sharing. These things need to be talked about.
I've watched your videos occasionally for so long and never knew you had an ED. Its pretty inspirational to know where youve been and your attitude now. You're amazing💖💖
Thank you so much for this video. Im in the start of recovering. its so hard, im so scared of losing control and gaining alot of weight beacause i haven't been eating as i should. Ive been trough so much. Extreme weight loss, binge eating, weightgain ... Its so hard to control. But i just want to be happy again. I want to have the energy again. And not to think about food all the time. I want to be healthy... And happy .. :-) Your videoes help me through so much.. :-)
+Christine Vegan Metabolic damage is a nonissue, almost nonexistent. It has been consistently proven that the metabolism only slows by less than 10%, and thats at near death levels of underfeeding.
This is all so true, its great that you share how it is. One thing I would like to add (I don't know if you experienced this), is that during the early part of the recovery when I started more, I felt like I was drunk all the time. Apparently there is a physiological explanation to this and it is fairly common. Thanks for sharing Erik!
I feel you... My breakfast at my treatment center was enough for seriously about 4 breakfasts' same with lunch dinner etc. Love you Erik, keep goin man!!
thank you for sharing this information. I've never had an eating disorder so I probably will never truly understand what its like but you seem like a very inspirational person. I enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much, you made it so clear to me and you made me feel so excited. I'm currently self-recovering at home, and I understand how hard it can be to just listen to your body. Today, I nearly ate through half a jar of sunflower seed butter and STILL wanted to eat. My biggest problem though is not exercising because before anorexia I exercised because it was my passion , before I did it for the calorie burn. If anyone can reply with some extra tips for me to follow to recover fully, and when I can start working out again.
How are you now? I'm currently trying to recover and yeah I've got the same problem. Exercising is a passion for me. I love working out man/woman?( Sorry don't wanna assume your gender)
Damn you're killing it Erik, before you know it you WILL be at 100k subscribers :). It's awesome how you're so real with us and how you are making videos for entertainment AND advice/tip purposes. Keep it up bro I get excited whenever I see your videos in my sub feed.
I completely relate and I love that you are trying to break the stigma around eating disorders, you should bring it back! I was hospitalized and have been on a refeed for over five months. I'm almost there but it is hard. Thank you for the support and love that you show
Yes! Thank you Erik for putting together this video! I was extremely scared and confused during my recovery when extreme hunger hits. With the amount of food I was eating there were times that I was thinking "I'm not sick at all..." which is just the negative voice, or the disease as you said, telling me not to listen to my body.
Watching this because I'm currently experiencing 'extreme hunger' and freaking out about it. I can't even tell my boyfriend or anyone around me. This video made me feel better.
I'm in all-in ana recovery experiencing extreme hunger. and i mean extreme-extreme, i feel like a bottomless pit lol. i know it will get better and i trust i can pull through
Hey Erik these videos are brilliant. I'm really unwell due to my ED and team are deciding what to do with me. Your videos inspire me and make me realise that I will eventually recover and that there is life after ED. you are such a inspiration!! Wish I lived in America lol xx
Thank you for this! It's really interesting to hear these same things from a guy, as right now the community is pretty saturated with women, and it's important to hear everybody's story. I haven't watched any of your other videos, but I'm off to do that now
This is so bizzare to me because I've been trying to recover for like 2 years and have had little success, however, last week I went out for dinner and ate nearly 3 meals and turned to my boyfriend and said, "I think I'm gonna go for dessert." I was not full AT ALL. Even after the dessert, I felt fine. Thanks for this video, even though it's been up for more than 2 years it still really helped me and so do your other ED talks.
I feel I may have this. At one period of time in my life i was weighing around 250 pounds by the age 13.. I am now 152.3 and everytime I eat I feel I need more but I am in fear of gettimg obease again. I am 15. Thanks Erik I just need some help man.
great video. i'd like to hear you talk more on this subject, even. so many questions, like... do you know why you still lost weight even on such an enormous amount of calories? how did you know when to listen to your hunger, and when to ignore it?
How do you deal with the fear of food. I'm so scared of putting on weight the whole time i restrict my diet to foods that i know wont put weight on but also means i miss out on a lot really nice grub?
Could you continue in this topic and go very in depth? Your story plus research evidence basically more of this which seemed like a preview rather then topic. Very interested on topic considering I feel I'm right at that point myself.
Hey Erik I don't know if you'll include this question in your ED chat video or Q and A video. I recently recovered from my eating disorder to the point that I was anorexic. I'm better now but I am really concerned about it coming back to make me miserable again and I DO NOT want to go back at that road again. Is it possible that people recovered from eating disorders can become vulnerable? It bothers me that the pressurization of today is everywhere of looking a certain way it is hard to escape it. What do you do to counter it? I hope you come across this comment. Your doing great helping people with these kind of videos. Keep up the good work Erik.
I restricted my calories so much and for such a long time that now, I only eat like 1600-1700 calories a day and gain weight. I experience extreme hunger and it is so frustrating!
I'm 14 and 6 months ago I stared recovery just before being admitted I took matters into my own hands. I put all the weigh back on so I'm not medicinally anorexic anymore or mentally but I am scared to even fast 1day now.I guess that's a good thing because why would you want to but,now I'm the opposite I feel like something terrible will happen if I don't eat for a certain period of time . I get scared that I might loose weight if I don't overeat until I feel like bursting. I feel like I need to do that to myself because I'm a vegan I feel like I need to eat until I feel uncomfortable to maintain the weight. My gp cares about every half pound like seriously so there's so much pressure on me to prove that what I'm doing is working. What I don't like is I'm still being treated like I undereat just because of my weight when most days I eat until no food food will fit. It's a lot of pressure.Could you give me any advice?
Thank you for sharing. As soon as I got on a meal plan over 2000 cals this extreme hunger hit and I became insatiable. I thought I was losing my mind was terrified. The amount of food I ate and the speed in which I ate it was astonishing. My nutrionist was really alarmed at how much I was eating which scared me more. Anyway, it passed of course, but over 1.5 years later I still have a hard time ever feeling really satiated. I eat way higher food volumes than other people. I wonder if that ever gets better?
thank you, this is very helpful! i'm losing weight on a large mealplan now, too - is it because your body needs to recover or is it because my metabolism speeds up? or both?
+brightasdays It requires massive amounts of energy for your body to regenerate muscle, bone density, immune and endocrine systems all while feeding the mechanisms that repair these systems on top of an increasing metabolic rate from the growth of muscle and bone density.
I gave up on my recovery becoz of extreme hunger...its always just like "am I binging? Do I just like eating?, well I want to recover". All these thoughts in head...unfortunately I gave up went on diets..and yeah, and hated so much the fact that I was eating every now and then Without feeling satisfied, and gaining weight 🤧
Hola Eric me encantaría ver tus vídeos en español , ojalá algún día llegues a tomarme en cuenta ya que te sigo y me gustan tus vídeos amigo , un saludo desde Latinoamérica que somos muchos tus seguidores de por acá 👍✌🏻️
Alguien que hable en español y pase por esto?, bueno yo lo estoy pasando y oh me asustaba mucho! Pero lo he disfruado! Aunque consuma unas 8000 calorias (sin exagerar) la hambre extrema es algo normal en la recuperación
You have no knowledge on what refeeding syndrome and what it actually is. Refeeding syndrome is a complex condition causing cardiac, pulmonary and neurological symptoms and it can be fatal if left untreated. Refeeding is a process anyone goes through in recovery but refeeding syndrome is a whole other ball game and extremely dangerous thing to be dealing with, although thankfully it is pretty rare.
***** I know you will and you have every right to. I just think it's disrespectful to, say someone who has a disease like ALS, where the miserable situation they find themselves in isn't because of their own individual decisions.
***** Alright I'm willing to believe that upbringing and things like that play a role. But what I'm trying to say is, where as some counseling and lifestyle changes can teach people the discipline to control what food they put in their mouth, which no one else is forcing them to eat except themselves, someone with ALS or AIDS can't just change something as controllable as their eating habits and cure their disease.
***** Alright man, it's all cool. Thanks for not being a jackass when it comes to disagreement like some people I've encountered on the tubes. Keep up the solid content.

Thank you for sharing. As soon as I got on a meal plan over 2000 cals this extreme hunger hit and I became insatiable. I thought I was losing my mind was terrified. The amount of food I ate and the speed in which I ate it was astonishing. My nutrionist was really alarmed at how much I was eating which scared me more. Anyway, it passed of course, but over 1.5 years later I still have a hard time ever feeling really satiated. I eat way higher food volumes than other people. I wonder if that ever gets better?
did it get better?

Erik....u are amazing! u should make a challenge like...eating all pb jelly sandwiches as u can buddy💪
thank you, this is very helpful! i'm losing weight on a large mealplan now, too - is it because your body needs to recover or is it because my metabolism speeds up? or both?
+brightasdays It requires massive amounts of energy for your body to regenerate muscle, bone density, immune and endocrine systems all while feeding the mechanisms that repair these systems on top of an increasing metabolic rate from the growth of muscle and bone density.
Did this even out eventually,did you start gaining after a while?
Hey erik, could u please make a video on IIFYM for people who had ED history? thanks!
I gave up on my recovery becoz of extreme hunger...its always just like "am I binging? Do I just like eating?, well I want to recover". All these thoughts in head...unfortunately I gave up went on diets..and yeah, and hated so much the fact that I was eating every now and then Without feeling satisfied, and gaining weight 🤧
Thank you 🙏 you’ve saved me
How much did you gain? And how much did you actually eat?
How are You now?
Hola Eric me encantaría ver tus vídeos en español , ojalá algún día llegues a tomarme en cuenta ya que te sigo y me gustan tus vídeos amigo , un saludo desde Latinoamérica que somos muchos tus seguidores de por acá 👍✌🏻️
+Rick Meier no pude leer tu mensaje lo siento
I’ve been dealing with extreme hunger....but somehow I’m still eating 1,200 calories a day and I don’t know HOW
Thank you! Really helped!
I love this! :)
7000 and losing weight ;_;
It's due to hypermetabolism.
I'm going through extreme hunger now lol
How are you now?
Very good Video!
But one question: How can you eat 6000 kcal a day?
If inpatient, and you have EH, do they let you eat more?
hair on point
+owen keys know exactly what you mean about the huge meal plan. I was on a 7000 cal/day refeed plan in inpatient and still lost weight.
Shout out to ETE
When did your extreme hunger start?
Im past my pre ed weight but still hungry
Hunter Fagan you have to eat

How are you now?
@@senanur2668 my weight went higher than it normally was for a while, but it came down
@@senanur2668 I still feel like I eat more than most people, but I’m not nearly as hungry as I was during my weight restoration
Alguien que hable en español y pase por esto?, bueno yo lo estoy pasando y oh me asustaba mucho! Pero lo he disfruado! Aunque consuma unas 8000 calorias (sin exagerar) la hambre extrema es algo normal en la recuperación
Hola
Hola
thank you man
Could you talk about weight redistribution?
Ha, instead of me saying this it’s my mom saying I will get obese
good video !! :)
Thanks
You have no knowledge on what refeeding syndrome and what it actually is. Refeeding syndrome is a complex condition causing cardiac, pulmonary and neurological symptoms and it can be fatal if left untreated. Refeeding is a process anyone goes through in recovery but refeeding syndrome is a whole other ball game and extremely dangerous thing to be dealing with, although thankfully it is pretty rare.
I am into it :/
stop electrocuting me before every video, i'm 70% piss, it shockening!!
Exercise when Anerexic
Same comforter lol
No activity, 6k kcal and losing weight for a prolonged period of time? Are you positive? Sounds like a phenomenon.
Do CheatDays
+Erik TheElectric Could you make a vid for cherday disordes ?
Be careful throwing around the word "disease" like you did in this video
***** I know you will and you have every right to. I just think it's disrespectful to, say someone who has a disease like ALS, where the miserable situation they find themselves in isn't because of their own individual decisions.
***** Alright I'm willing to believe that upbringing and things like that play a role. But what I'm trying to say is, where as some counseling and lifestyle changes can teach people the discipline to control what food they put in their mouth, which no one else is forcing them to eat except themselves, someone with ALS or AIDS can't just change something as controllable as their eating habits and cure their disease.
***** Alright man, it's all cool. Thanks for not being a jackass when it comes to disagreement like some people I've encountered on the tubes. Keep up the solid content.
Thank you for these Ed chats they really do help
Do you have Instagram?
