Title: Eating Disorders and Bodybuilding
Post by: bhank on January 15, 2022, 08:22:48 AM


Everyone laughs when I talked about Anorexia but eating and body image disorders are a real issue in fitness. I am going to give Nick serious props for actually addressing this. You can never be big enough or lean enough you can't win but you can get obsessed and hurt yourself through starvation overtraining on the flip side you can have issues from excessive calorie intake going back and forth between the two extremes is even more stressful on your system.

Exactly! People with body dysmorphic disorder don't see themselves as others see them and as they truly are.

I must admit, I am a bit obsessive about weighing myself. This is particularly true since I bought a scale like Bhank's which supposedly provides a wealth of information about one's body, not just what you weigh, but your body fat percentage, visceral fat level, water weight, metabolic age (I love this one because I am consistently in my 20's and early 30's) and strength levels.

Good video. What Trigili is missing is that nobody go beyond the limits just for " the fun of it " without having a childhood trauma. People with normal childhood, are kind of normal people. They have normal jobs, they live the normal life.

Ali or Tyson or GSP or even Bezos and all those hard working, crazy motivated people in every field been through alot in their childhood. Alot of fighters/bodybuilders been bullied, raped, mocked for their appearances and so on. I see that in my job, some guys work like crazy and save and want the most money they can get and all of them arent normal. Some grew below poverty, some lack appeal and charisma and think their money is gonna compensate it. It's the way it is with those who push the limits.

My cousin was a fat teen, his classmates and family made fun of him the whole time and one day he started training and got ripped as fuck. He got to low bf and maintained it to the point of having vertigo, dizziness etc He only stopped when he fainted. Now he is more balanced and doesn't go extreme.

Dude - serious question - do you think it's OK that your blood pressure and resting pulse rate seem to swing from one extreme to the other?

Based on what you show/tell us on here of course - you've mentioned you have had historic high BP in other threads, and you've talked about your tachycardia also.  Now I've also seen 'normal' BP readings and now this bradycardia reading

What gives?

Sometimes it is in the 50s and sometimes it is in the hundreds. Sometimes you are dehydrated sometimes you are bloated. Sometimes you are shredded sometimes you are fat nothing moves in a straight line. There are a lot of variables constantly being adjusted. It is best to keep switching things up. But yeah that is why I don't put too much stock into some conventional theories. What blood markers and vital statistic and even the mirror and scale mean depends on what you are doing. Nothing is in a bubble.

My resting pulse, upon waking, sits between 50 and 60 bpm. If I am over trained or sick, it can be in the 70's. But man- 100's? That would indicate something seriously wrong. As in tachycardia, low potassium, thyroid disease etc.

I was donating because of my naturally thick blood but made the mistake of going every 3 months. They do that little hemoglobin thumb test, but that doesn’t necessarily your iron and/or ferritin levels are normal. There’s something called non-anemic iron/ferritin deficiency where you have all of the symptoms of anemia except for the low hemoglobin. I should’ve been supplementing with iron between visits, but I eat plenty of eggs and meat and it was in my multivitamin. It still wasn’t enough. My ferritin was in the teens when I did labs 1.5 months after donating. It must’ve been near 0 because I was feeling fatigued and my hair was shedding more than usual. There was a study of frequent blood donors and the majority of those who went 3-4 a year were anemic or had very low ferritin levels. One Blood and other donation centers are telling people it’s time again to donate after two months which is way too frequent unless you’re heavily supplementing with iron year-round. It’s kind of unethical on their part.

I did find a reference to sinus tachycardia, an abnormally high pulse rate caused by an irregular signaling of the heart contraction. Apparently some people live a long time with it. It can be genetic, caused by anemia, etc. Some people don't live a long time with it though.

Bigorexia (muscle dysmorphia), is defined as a body dysmorphic disorder that triggers a preoccupation with the idea that your body is too small or not muscular enough. Bigorexia can lead to: steroid misuse, depression, thoughts of suicide, disordered eating and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The bottom line is that this is a mental disorder. If you suspect you have it, seek help: National Eating Disorder Helpline. https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/help-support/contact-helpline

You lift everyday? Ok prove it lets see your dedication to training and diet has gotten you. If it has gotten you anywhere if you socialized with others who were into the sport you would recognize the manic compulsive body dsymorphia overtraining and eating disorders that inherently seem to develop when people take this shit too serious. In every gym there is someone training 2 hours a day running on coffee and vitamins completely overtrained counting their calories and dying.

Supposedly you've been open about your eating habits and workout routines. Do you think that you sometimes go overboard? Would you define yourself as obsessive with regards to bodybuilding? How much of your time is devoted to bodybuilding, which includes both your diet and exercise routine as well as weighing yourself and (IMO) continuously posting selfies and boasting about your progress?

This is just you bro. Normal people can train every day without developing some sort of disorder. Some of us can train one hour a day without issue, some 2 hours a day, some more. Most of us who did more than one sport in high school even did 2 a days without suffering from anorexia. Your idea of anorexia is way too broad.

The people dying aren't dying from lack of calories and over training. They're dying from long term and short term abuse of drugs and combining recreational drugs with their supplementations... and covid... and the covid vaccination... and genetic predispositions  ;D
