Regarding seeking advice for eating problems I cannot underline more that this will only be determined by the severity of the case. Maybe a trip to the GP first to determine if you need a nutritionalist or more professional support. A there are many books that offer advice and the best I have found is a balanced diet with lots of vegetables opposed to processed food which can be loaded with sugars and other chemicals. There are many online cookery sites and access to healthy eating. Just calorie counting isn't enough as we need certain oils and vitamins for brain,bones,muscle,skin and other organs. Also please be honest with yourself as to the source of the eating problem. A lot of students feel challenged by this when leaving home for the first time. Balancing work loads, studies, responsibilities of washing clothes, shopping for one, social life and time management. Bad habits can start also with peer pressures as the journey of self discovery starts. The freedom sometimes leads to making bad choices. It is vital to stay in touch with family where possible. Reach out for support before things spiral. Young adults can experience issues after relationship breakups. Young mothers in the overload of experiencing 24/7 lack of sleep and body image changes making them time poor once again. Reaching out for support is all important . I hope this reassures you that it is normal to struggle at times in life. Everyone's journey is different and to seek help in order to be health is a better option than looking for survival tack ticks alone. Maybe see or start a group in your area. Juicing is a great option as this holds all vitamins with carefully selected fruit,veg,pulses,spices,nuts,seeds. Minimal preparation or clearing up as a nutrabullet is a great purchase.

At first, you can consider trying to change your habits on healthier way. Furthermore, if you have got any doubts and questions about whether you have got any deficiencies which need to be corrected, go to see your general practicioner or dietitian (if available and affordable). Then try to stick to more healthy diet and try not to get triggered to go back to unhealthy food. Hospital is needed only in very severe cases when nutrient deficient is so severe that it can harm your health (or health is already harmed). In this case you Will maybe need also some artificial food, such as Ensure+.

It depends on what the habit is and the severity of it! I would say if you are questioning any of your eating habits they are probably unhealthy and you should reach out to a health care professional or the national eating disorders association (NEDA) and see what the next steps are for you. The hospital isn't an optimal place to be treated for an eating disorder or even disordered eating as its goal is to stabilize you rather than focusing on the mental health aspect. But if you are feeling in any way sick, like you are going to hurt yourself etc then yes go!

Go to your general physician first. If you need to be hospitalized they will refer you. Right now it’s not really a good idea to go to a hospital! You might put yourself at risk of getting ill. Specially that disordered Eating weakens the body. For now remember to take multivitamins regularly and do your best to learn as much as possible about unhealthy eating habits and how to overcome them. Also I wonder if you mean an eating disorder by unhealthy eating habits. Does it make you feel sick? Are you feeling pain? Do you feel emotionally unstable? Is your health in danger?

No. Most likely the hospital will not deem your condition serious enough to admit or do much for you. You would get much better care by making an urgent appointment with your doctor and being open and honest about the situation. Your doctor knows your history, and can also refer you to other specialists, if necessary, so you can get the care you need. They can help you through the process, whereas the hospital wouldn't really follow up with you at all, and that's assuming they admit you to begin with, which is unlikely.
In summary, see your own doctor and let him/her know what is going on, no matter how embarrassed, ashamed, scared you may be.

No, not really! If you can connect to good dietician who will guide you with a good diet chart, and if you can stay in regular check with your physician, you can easily gain a control over your own self. But yes, you gotta work hard and dedicately to achieve your goal, remember when you reach a goal that is the time when you should set bigger gals. Also, if your physician says then in that case maybe you need to go to hospital, but only when he suggests you to do so. Do not force yourself for something you are not ready to!
Love and Regards,
Stay safe!

if you feel as though you are not in control of your habits or you cannot reply on anyone to help you with this, try seeking professional help whether from a hospital, therapist, or any other medical professional. it’s also best to keep legal guardians in the loop so that they can help you out as well. feeling out of control relating to your eating habits can feel very overwhelming and lonely. however, you are never alone and are always loved and supported. stay in touch with friends and family often, to validate these points. you are so special and amazing and i hope you find yourself and the help you feel is necessary.

Depends . I mean if you are eating a little to much junk food this is ok you do not need a doctor for that. But if you are craving yourself or make your self vomit and that makes you feel horrible it would be good to see a doctor.But also if you want to change your eating habits for example eat healthier , less carbs you can see a specialist for that. Just be comfortable about yourself you can fix it if you want to.dO NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT WHO YOU ARE Ä°T Ä°S OK TO FEEL BAD sometimes

yes, if you are feeling that you are now not able to control your eating habits and are having any kind of problem then you should go to the doctor as son as possible. cause doctors are here to help and they are the ones who can give you the best advise which you know the internet can not give . and, the important thing is that you should not ignore problems regarding eating habits cause food is the fuel to our body and not taking it regularly or completely can lead to major problems, which i think nobody wants.

Yes. This can be a very scary step for some people but will be very beneficial and is necessary. Receiving help for unhealthy eating habits is not something to be ashamed of! A hospital is a safe place that can provide you with the help you need to turn your unhealthy eating habits into healthy ones. Hospitals can also provide you with resources to things like therapy that will also be beneficial. No issue that one may be struggling with is minuscule and should not belittled. Do not be afraid to reach out and get the help you need and deserve.
