What are the similarities of healthy food and junk food?
They are both food, and contain some form of nutrients, but very different ones at that. Beyond that, there really aren't many similarities at all.

Fire is vital to human life to thrive from. First off, it provides heat and protection. Fire also is there to cook food (especially meat), which allows humans to be able to hunt to survive.
Why does your arm get red and shake when im eating lady bugs?
There might have been a bacteria or something of the like in it that you might be having an allergic reaction to.
It is possible that the dirt you were gathering contained ants or some other type of insect and they crawled on your arm biting and irritating your skin. It also may be a form of contact dermatitis from touching something in the dirt and scratching your arm. Eating dirt is not as uncommon as you might think but gathering it from just anywhere is not safe. Pica (eating inedible objects) specifically geophagia (eating dirt) can be medically managed and I would suggest (until you speak with your physician about this) you should purchase sterilized earth from a garden center. Please seek help from you doctor or clinic ASAP as Pica is often manifested during pregnancy.

A woman who consumes four or more drinks in a row is considered to be binge drinking?
Yes, although it is an ideologically-based definition inconsistent with the clinical definition traditionally used by professionals. According to the four or more drinks definition, the woman would be a binge drinker even though she might not even be intoxicated! In actual practice, the drinks are typically consumed over a period of four to five hours, according to research. Thus, the new definition exaggerates to a high degree the number of binge drinkers.
What are the harmful side effects of eating tricalcium phosphate?
Tricalcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe when consumed in typical dietary amounts, as it is a common food additive and a calcium supplement. However, excessive intake may lead to health issues such as hypercalcemia, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and kidney problems. Additionally, high levels of phosphate can disrupt calcium balance in the body, potentially leading to weakened bones over time. It’s important to use it within recommended limits to avoid these potential side effects.
Bringing attention to it slightly aids it. It feeds into her idea that thinness is success and attention. HOWEVER! Ignoring it would be horrible because there are NUMEROUS medical complications that can arrise from anorexia. I would talk to her doctor and a psychologist.

What type of work does Sarah Jane Szikora create?
Sarah Jane Szikora draws pictures, which is her passion. She discovered this passion when she was at a hospital at the age of four. She had bandages over her eyes, but she picked up some crayons and started to draw. Her paintings feature people, both men and women with very tiny heads and often some food too. This is because she had a eating disorder from her teens to her early thirteenths.
Do you lose muscle tissue on legs if you starve yourself for a week or two?
You should NEVER try to use up all your will power because eventually, you would snap and start overeating. To answer this question properly you should tell us why you are planning to starve yourself.
2nd Answer:
The above is absolutely true, but you also need to know that if you starve yourself and do not exercise, you can lose heart muscle, and potentially die from that.

Truck drivers eat in the back of the drivers' seat. a small room located behind the seat.
AnswerAnywhere they can park their truck and get some good food, truck stops, motorway service's, roadside cafe's, layby's, they may even take sandwiches to work and eat them in their cab. AnswerMost long haul truck drivers have coffee makers, slow cookers, temperature controlled coolers, and microwaves in their trucks, it is too expensive to eat out all the time. When they do eat out it is usually in truck stops, it is not easy to park an 18-wheeler in an Arby's parking lot, drive-thrus are definitely out of the question. BTW, they eat sitting in the driver's seat or on the bunk bed in the sleeper area. They also carry TV trays. Answerdiners near truck stops, quick yet good food.Usually they will eat at a cafe and at a gas station , it depends on the distance between the resturants . But then you might not have a restaurant or a gas station, and you might want to eat what is ian your refigerator , so it depends on the number of miles the trucker drives .
Is there really an eating disorder whereby one can only eat chocolates and sweets?
Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified / EDNOSis a general classification for a person who does not fit specifically into one of the medical diagnostic categories. One common element to all eating disorders including EDNOS is low self-esteem.Those with EDNOS characteristics may constantly shift between different eating disorders. This shifting or switching can complicate providing a specific professional medical diagnosis for the patient.
Criteria for EDNOS includes the following symptoms
*For females, all of the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that the individual has regular menses.
*For males and females all of the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that, despite significant weight loss, the individual's current weight still maintains a normal range according to BMI classification.
*For males and females all of the criteria for bulimia nervosa are met except that the binge eating or inappropriate compensation mechanisms occur at a frequency of less than twice a week or for a duration of less than 3 months.
*For males and females the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors by an individual of normal weight after eating small amounts of food. For example: self-induced vomiting after the consumption of two biscuits.
*For males and females repeatedly chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing, most of ones potential daily consumption.
EDNOS is still a Disorder!
It is important to recognize that despite the lack of specific classification the presence of EDNOS symptoms is serious. The potential exists for these symptoms to develop into a categorical diagnostic eating disorder. Should a person NOT eventually exhibit such symptoms of a more specifically classified eating disorder the results can still be severe and most seriously, death. Any person exhibiting any symptoms above or additional symptoms listed on the pages herein should immediately consult a trained medical professional or pyshciatrist for treatment.
sounds like you have an eating disorder of some kind. If you are not bringing your food back up then you can most likely eliminate bulimia, but it sounds like a form of anorexia to me.
How do taste aversions develop?
Taste aversions can develop from things such as just simply growing up with someone close to them avoiding a certain food or sometimes it comes from things such as getting sick (food poisoning, etc.) over it and you can never really taste it quite the same way : ). That is why I no longer eat salsa.
When I was about 18 years old, I thought about this. I was overweight by about 40lbs. I thought to myself, if thin people can purge and get scary skinny why can't I purge and get to a healthy weight? I decided to give it a go. At first it was a little strange, but I started to feel better after puking. It removed all guilt I had about eating large portions. I didn't throw up everything I ate. Only when i ate a large dinner or junk food. In about 6-8 weeks I had dropped 35lbs. The scale at GNC said I was only 2lbs over my ideal weight. I was so happy. Nobody asked how I did it. My husband wasn't concerned either. Everyone was just blown away. Especially people that I hadn't seen in a couple months. I was so thin and everyone told me how great I looked. I had reached my goal and decided to stop purging. It was rough to go back to eating normal because I still had that voice in my head and that full feeling in my stomach made me want to puke, but I stopped. As the years passed I gradually put weight back on, just 5 lbs or so a year. Now i am 35lbs over my ideal weight and I have been at the same weight for about 3 or 4 years. I was happy with my body for the most part. I wish I could get back to those thin days. Last fall I dropped a few pants sizes from stress and I loved how I looked. I gained it all back very suddenly and now I am once again unhappy with how I look. My clothes no longer fit and it's depressing. Last week I began purging again for the first time in 10 years. I already feel like I'm losing weight again. And once more, when I reach the weight I want to be, I will stop, but this time I think I will adopt more healthy eating habits. I make sure I drink plenty of fluids and take vitamins every night. I drink milk and never purge when I've eaten a small amount. I don't want my body to think I'm starving because it will slow the process. I am in no way advocating bulimia. It's only something that works for me, and if you're smart about it then it won't kill you. I suffered no adverse health effects from the 2 months I was bulimic and I don't think I will this time around either. I'm just very proud of myself for having the guts to give it another go. It's not for the faint of heart, I can tell you that.
If you don't stop this guilty feeling you are going to end up a Bulimic (purging up after meals) and this can lead to severe health problems. If you want to eat meals learn to eat 3 meals a day and the right amounts. You need help like most of us so either join Weight Watchers (rates one of the highest weight loss programs) actually just teaching you have to eat correctly, or the other South Beach Diet. It's easier to follow their guidelines than trying to stumble through on your own. I found Weight Watchers really encouraged people and with everyone being in the same situation friends were easy to make and there were a lot of tricks to learn to train your brain to eat only what you should. Don't try to do this on your own because you certainly aren't going to lose weight the way you are doing it and will also add unnecessary health problems to boot.
