[quote=Anonymous]Does she eat compulsively? (I am willing to bet yes) What is she looking for in food that she is having difficulty finding outside of carbs. Has she had adverse childhood experiences such as abuse or inappropriate behaviour from a parent or relative? Her brain is craving the chemicals created when she eats these foods. She needs to eat them to feel well. She needs help finding the roots of this and establishing ways to get those feel good feelings without food. This will take time. Taking away the food in the meantime won't help her, it will make it worse. Try to replace the junk food with more nutrient dense food, even if it is more calories. Like make cookies with almond flour and buy organic versions of treats to slowly wean off all the chemicals and additives in the other crap while still getting the feel good of a brownie. This is what helped me.[/quote]
