I always say stuff like “I feel fat” or “I’m fat” and stuff like that. I have lately become almost obsessed with what I eat and how much I exercise and if I eat junk food I am like oh I have to go exercise. I run about a mile if not more everyday. I always look in the mirror to see if I am skinny enough. But, I feel like I never am. Can someone help me? I’m not anorexic because I still eat healthy and I don’t know if I could become one because sports are really important to me and I know I need nutrition, but I have thought about becoming or trying to be one before. One day I went almost all day without food and it felt cool. It sounds weird but it felt like I had so much control. People kept bugging and bugging me to eat and I just didn’t want to and didn’t feel like it. Will someone help me? Oh, and I haven’t talked to my mom or even my friends about it. And please don’t say I am looking for attention, because I don’t like being the center of attention.

Our kids are grown – We would like to work for an employee utilizing our combined skills – college educated, speak English, Accounting/MBA, travel experience,event planning, weight loss consultant,/fitness/nutrition, child care, dog walking etc. All office equipment..also extensive,home remodeling projects and real estate license – home staging experience too. Interested to see what my response will be to this….thanks in advance for your help.

We are going to check with the doctor first but that may take a while since he is booked for several weeks. In the interim, we are looking for basic guidance, hopefully from someone who has had experience with AD-HD medication or is a medical professional in the know.
This is for a 13 year old male who is active in sports and would like some nutritional supplements, specifically to boost energy / build strength. He has a good diet and takes a good general multivitamin supplement. We know about increasing Vitamin B in the diet. But there are other herbals and amino acids one can choose in addition to regular vitamins and minerals to help boost energy, improve strength, build lean muscle, etc.
In particular, we are looking at legal anabolic activators we have used successfully in the past and which teens have used safely in their sports nutrition. One anabolic activator we are looking at does include creatine, royal jelly, chromium, yohimbe, kola nut, and various amino acids.
But this was outside the inclusion of AD-HD medication, and there are several AD-HD drugs doctors can choose from beyond Ritalin which include:
* Adderol
* Adderol XR
* Focalin
* Concerta
* Stratera
* Dexedrine
* Metadate ER
* Metadate CD
So as a general rule, are legal anabolic activators and/or energy supplements from the nutrition store (e.g. GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe) safe to use with teens if they are taking AD-HD medication?
As I began this question with “We are going to ask the doctor”, I’m not looking for a response, “Ask your doctor.” We are simply making a decision as to HOW MUCH anabolic activator to order (10 days shipping time) because if it is safe for a teen on AD-HD medication, we’ll order more. If not, we’ll order less and still put it to good use as there is more than one athlete in this household.
I’m looking for BASIC guidance, not a prescription or a diagnosis.
