The best way to normalize this, is to eat consistently. If you feel unsure, seek advice from parents, doctors, nutritionists, therapists, etc., so you have a healthy diet plan to eat from. Even if you suffer from low appetite, or urges to restrict, it is better in the long run to stick to a healthy eating plan. This will not only prevent restriction, but ALSO prevent the binges that follow. Best of luck and health to you. You deserve it! |

I agree that eating regularly helps this. When recovering from anorexia I would cycle through periods of bingeing and restricting. For me it also helped to incorporate protein and/or healthy fat into my meals. These helped keep my blood sugar stable I think, and keep the urges to binge at bay. Eating healthy snacks helped me, too.
