weight gain is that mental block I keep hitting. it's scary. it's almost like there is no A (skinny), B (normal), C (obese) it's just A and C. thank you for the reminder Eric . I always seem to need them. :)
Erik, these ED videos are helping me so much. I didn't realize I probably had an eating disorder until I watched these. I went through the same thing mentally, and I still kind of do. I never got as skinny as you did, but I got pretty underweight. I'm on the way back up right now and I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Thinking that because we overeat we think we're gonna wake up 600 lbs, all of that. It feels good to know that I'm not the only one dealing with this. Keep making these.
Hey man, just had something I wanted to share. As a guy in recovery from Anorexia, I've seriously appreciated the attention your videos have brought to the prevalence of eating disorders in men. The only thing I take issue with, though, is your frequent use of photos from your lowest weight. Because competition is such an integral part of eating disorders, those kind of pictures can be extremely triggering for a lot of struggling people. I also think using photos to emphasize one's emaciation furthers the misconception that eating disorders are solely about poor body image. In the vast majority of cases, mine included, they serve as an immensely powerful coping mechanism to distract from serious and terrifying problems. Please don't stop making these videos Erik. Your voice is so appreciated and you are doing a fantastic job spreading awareness about this disease that has affected both our lives in profound ways. I just want to offer something that might make your message a bit safer for those who aren't so solid in their recoveries yet.
Gosh darn, I NEEDED this video right now. This video really helped me remember my WHY for recovering from anorexia. I'm so grateful I found this channel
Good luck my guy I'm in recovery rn and this really helps me too
Thanks for uploading these videos, dude. I'm trying to get myself to eat more now since I lost a good bit from being overweight in the past.My family members including my parents are worried about my eaing habit 'cause only eat once a day and I'm pretty much thin now, and workout six days a week for an hour or less, except on my cheat days that I recently added. But, that fear of being who I was still haunts me because I don't want to go back to that. But, seeing these videos of yours is starting to help chase that fear of eating more away. Anyway, I think I'm starting to feel more relaxed now, I think I'll just start taking small steps to improve myself until I reach the goal I need to get at. But, thanks again and keep up the awesome work.
Im currently going through treatment for my ED. Thank you for this, it makes me want to "reappraise" my irrational thoughts.
Thank you for this, ironic thing is that food and eating is my passion!
you do speak sincerely
thanks erik
i hope it brings clarity to someone's chaos!
I'm experiencing extreme hunger in recovery and for the past week I've ate so much and my parents are astonished at how much I can consume 😂
Paige Daniels omg same! So happy that you're respecting your body enough to nourish it
This really helped me today, I know I deserve to be well and healthy. It's so hard to break out of the starving binging habit, but today is a new day and I will start strong. My problem is once I start eating I can't stop. I just wish to eat normal.
Yo, rn I got the same but I think it’s normal like im stuffed like it’s even hard to breath haha
@@luckydante8735how are you doing? I’m the same rn 😭
when life is good, my eating is also usually good. But when I’m stressed out, I find myself procrastinating by eating more after meals. I tell myself that it’s okay to eat more becuz I’m naturally hungry
WHY WOULD U SAY TO IGNORE THE SHAVING CREAM ON YOUR EAR? I DIDN"T EVEN NOTICE IT NOW I CAN"T STOP LOOKING AT IT
I would have never noticed it.
+- “Loopfrewt” - some people would have and it would raise some serious questions if he didn't address the issue...
Erik.. this actually made me feel more at peace now then a talk with my dietitian or psychologist would have a year ago. Whenever I asked them such questions they couldn't even give me an answer at all or would go around it saying they don't know either..
seriously thank you so much for making this series
Keep killing it man! The process is the true enjoyment
This is such a resourceful video!! Thanks Eric 🙋😄 You da man
Thanks Erik loving the information and knowledge you spread !
Great video. Very insightful. Thank you for addressing the water weight aspect of gaining in recovery.
Thanks! I just came out of anorexia recovery and life is so much better. Live in San Diego too lol.
These ED vids are extremely insightful. Have you ever had triggers a year or two after you overcame anorexia? I still struggle with food.
Great talk
I know you touched on Extreme Hunger before in one of your Q&A videos, I was wondering if you could talk more into details?
love this. glad you’re doing so well now. glad i found this
Imagine your doctor prescribing you an antipsychotic medicine + an anti depressant... I gained 40lbs in 1 month was 80lbs @ 5'4 during anorexia constant hunger, always thinking about food, never satisfied. My highest weight was 125lbs @ 5'4, thankfully he took me off the meds and now i'm really healthy about 106lbs 5'4 recovered.
Great series man! Can't wait for the next video!!
thanks Erik I had an eating dissorder for a while. Im currently trying to gain. You have helped me alot! I ride bmx but thats cool!
Thank You Erik, this gave me a confidence boost today =)
Love these videos! Great source of information.
When I jumped back from my 3 month bout with an eating disorder I just ate as much as I could. I would eat about 2 bags of potato chips everyday. I gained 11 kg i 2 weeks. Half of that was probably just water and glycogen. Even though I don't have an eating disorder anymore I still see food as calories constantly think about food and my weight. A lot of that is because I'm a cyclist and really want to perform good this coming season which means being as light and as strong as possible.
it was probably the very large family sized ones
Jade Cleveland sounds like you still have an eating disorder. I've been there too except as a runner. Ed can be more mental than physical
Great video! Thanks for sharing. This helps a lot
Erik thanks a lot for these videos.
Everyone has a problem.Lucky I was strong enough to do it alone because honestly I got NO help .They only realise I was underweight after I decided to eat again so but the time they realised I wasn't as I'll anymore and back on track.Theyre so obsessed about the last 4lbs for me to put on (forgetting I put on 20lbs alone!) and forgetting I am a vegan now eating healthy so I won't be the same weight a I was eating a 100% crappy diet before my ed.I don't know what to do because they're so obsessed with that extra 4lbs! How can I be the same weight as I was eating crap as I am eating healthy!??my life is still hell .Being forced to get weighted every month.Its doing me more harm then anything because I don't care about my weight anymore I will NEVER stop eating again I am not in that place anymore it's been almost 6months!
Thanks so much for this man.
Jw does that water weight stuff apply when starting a lean bulk or any bulk in general, I gained like 10 pounds in like 2 weeks despite eating at most 2800 calories or something 160 6 1 I doubt the surplus is that big
+Yassen Mubarak Yes. An increase in the amount of Carbs that you are eating will lead to greater water weight retention; but so does high sodium/low water intake. A lot of things affect weight and water retention. Just think; 3500 calories = 1 pound of actual weight. I only use scales at the start of my diet just to get an idea of what calories to work with then I throw em' out. Waaaayyyy toooo much inconsistency with it
I love you man thank you so much for helping me
Hey there Erik, I have a question regarding the process of when you underwent treatment for weight gain. Did you do any sort of exercise or go to the gym whilst gaining the weight during those months?
P.S Incredible Video man! Would love to know the kinds of food you had to eat while in treatment (was any fast foods involved?)
These videos are seriously so helpful. Thank you for posting these. I just had a quick question, would u recommend just jumping up into eating at maintenance calories or should I do more of like a reverse diet and slowly increase? Also did the weight gain end up going away after your body adjusted?
Have you found your awnsers?
32k subs+?!? You keep exploding up in subs man!
5 Years since you commented this and now 1.66 millions. Unbelievable really.
I LOVE U MAN KEEP IT UP
Extreme hunger after extreme restriction
Erik TheElectric? I'm Really Enjoying Your Videos and I'm Looking Forward To More Of These Type Of Videos :) But Question? What would you say to someone who has lost a good amount of weight and Still has a way to go before they achieve their weight goal. Who may Possibly could be suffering with this Illness?? Would really want your feedback.
Just made a TH-cam account so I could suscribe to this channel my friend. Love your stuff keep up the good videos, been watching since last year, day of wreckening maybe ha!
Hey Erik, i'm 20 kilo's under the normal weight of my age and lenght. Everybody said I had to eat more, but I didn't want it! After a few weeks my mom decided to go to a dietician, and i got a feeding schedule now. The problem is that I'm not hungry all of the time, and my stomach hurts so much every time when I eat, because I have to eat and drink so much more now. what can I do?
Drink smoothies and have calorie-packed foods. I had the same thing, it was soooooooo difficult to eat again at first but you still need to gain weight so have portions that you can handle comfortably but with more calorific things
Cellucore, not sponsored.. promise.
When you're in control, the external negative inputs don't effect us!
Keep speaking that real though man.
All you need is water, sugar, sleep... don't be a sheep.
hi Eric when are you offering coaching?
Eric I need help I am recovering and want to know that when I reach my goal weight will I be chubby at 107?
Do I have an eating disorder if I am 181 cm and 52 kg? I mean, I Dont see myself AS fat, I just think I can still lose a little bit of weight...
Lol you can't tell him your weight n expect him to know.Lol it depends on if you've got the behaviours or,Do you think you have a healthy relationship with food.The reason you any tell by weight alone is because someone might have more muscle that is heavier then fat.As yourself if you're always thinking about food,why you're Guna eat and obsessed about weight loss.If the answer is Yh ,then you probably do but,if not stay on track,eating dissorders are the worse thing ever,you feel sh*t whatever eating disorder it is!Remember food is only energy and if you really do have issues with food eat a lot of healthy food,just make sure you eat enough!that is number 1 priority!
*ask (sorry made some spelling mistakes!)
+Everyone be Vegan ur born it I know weight alone is not accurate, but that is the most accurate way if I do not post pictures or know my body fat percentage. My bones are sticking out like crazy though, and I know it doesent look good... The reason why I still think I need to lose weight is because I do not have a six pack.
Hey erik, I’m having the same eating disorders.. I don’t know what to do.
I eat twice as much as I used to, now I just feel hungrier more
Good video :)
Can i get weight to fast or does this not count? So could i take 10000 cal a day or does this not work?
Keep it healthy, eat normal food and increase the carbohydrates. Its the right eating habits that you need to adapt to, having 10000 calories a day is not normal
and is it a good way to binge to fight the ed? i want to fight the ed but i think with bingin for a small amount of time it is easier for me cause i have to fight myself for a shorter period
+Zuza Stella I recommended eating food you enjoy and as much as you're body wants but I also recommend going vegan because animal products have fat that are bodies don't need. Just eat whatever you want.
@@allisonrios5913we literally need animal proteins, many people get Edema from anorexia because they lack proteins
your boyfriend missed your mouth and hit your ear
Sorry comments were so long..some automatically deleted themselves
i just wanto lose weight but im always eating and feeling hungry
ED = eating disorder... Or erectile dysfunction?
