Change Your Online Dating Profile - It's Like Flippin' Pancakes

The beloved pancake isn't that hard to cook, but it does involve some attention. And so should your profile if you're involve with online dating websites. So let's review; when making pancakes what happens? They get flipped. It usually happens about four times. When you first the pour batter it just sets there for a minute or so to get a nice form, and once that's done you do your first filp. Boom, now you're cookin'! After that side is "done" you usually do one more flip back to the original side to further the cooking and change the color from light brown to golden or darker brown. Then one last flip to balance the whole thing out.

Guess what? With online dating profiles you need to be doing that kind of refinement to your profile. On my blog I've written about the idea that you can only be "new" to a dating site for so long and then you're kinda old news. Unless you do a flip, and thereby revamp your profile. You can actually take that revamping opportunity to go in a couple of directions. If your first profile is successful and getting people to contact you, you might want to ask those folks what they liked or what caught their eye. Then consider rebuilding the profile with the new input once you've gotten a FEW different opinions.

Another direction you can go with a flip is a total makeover. As I said, you're only new once-sort of. In my opinion there are a few online dating profile "models" that come up quite a bit. There's the "Hey I just stopped by because a friend said it was cool, so I just threw this profile together on a lark." And there's the "Here is every single fact about myself, and now let me tell you in great detail exactly what I'm looking for." And there's the "I'm ever so witty and clever." The last kind of dating profile that comes up a lot is the bare bones; which is usually just a line or two and it might include a photo or it might not.

So you've not doubt seen (or built) these type of profiles yourself, so why not use them all? In your first attempt include one or two pictures with one type of profile, if that doesn't generate some responses after a few weeks do a flip and switch to another profile type while adding a new photo. And keep going like that. This gives you a better chance of not only finding people who may have overlooked you before but it's also a great way of keeping your profile fresh.

Cure Binge Eating Disorder by Making a Small Change to Your Diet

Is it their even a cure? What would be the treatment? What should I eat?

I am going to answer all of these questions with focus on the proper way to eat.

Is it possible? Yes! in fact everyday I read,hear, or am emailed from one of my clients that tell me about major progress and or them defeating "Binge Eating Disorder".

The Treatment-From a diet stand point the first thing to recognize is that we overeat "junk"! In fact the truth is we waste our calories on poorly nutrient dense foods like ice cream, cookies,cakes, and chips. These foods raise sugar level which cause the addictions and low energy levels!

The Cure- So if you have to consume these large meals to feel satisfied try more nutrient dense, natural foods like green veggies, pizza, and other balanced meals.

The Perfect Diet-

As a nutritionist I teach balance meals. Think of food as a source of energy first and a treat second.

Take a look at one of my student's food log who's been suffering "binge eating disorder":

Breakfast: 3 Pancakes,8oz OJ, (Syrup and butter)

snacks: 2 Yogurt cups (one per snack period)

Lunch: Chicken Whopper

Dinner: 6oz. steak, 1/2 cup rice, and corn

Clearly she's not holding back. But... With this balance, and even these portions she's losing weight. She's has more energy. But more importantly she doesn't use food to cover up some mental let down. "Now we all have emotional set backs but it's important to not use food to combat them!"
