Dr. J. Renae Norton, Alternative to Inpatient Treatment. I am an eating disorder specialist in the areas of bulimia, anorexia, bulimarexia, binge eating disorder, BED, emotional eating disorder and obesity.
I made granola for the first time, And if I do say so myself, it is absolutely amazing! Truth be told, it is a keto granola. But I think anyone would enjoy it. It is both crunchy and chewy at the same time. Go figure! It is loaded with collagen, vitamin C, protein, and chocolate.
Today we are going to do a Chicken Parmesan that is scrumptious and super easy.
I used only two chicken breasts which is enough to last me for three meals. You could easily double the recipe. Here are the ingredients as I used them:
4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of raw, unsweetened cacao powder
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of grade b maple syrup, coconut syrup or raw, local honey
1/4 teaspoon of pure organic vanilla extract
1-2 pinches of sea salt-I recommend Pink Himalayan or Celtic
Directions
Add the coconut oil to a small sauce pan and melt on low. When liquid, remove from the heat and stir in the cacao powder. Mix until all the lumps are dissolved, then stir in the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract and sea salt.
Variations:
To use as a syrup, serve immediately.
As a sauce, let it cool for 10-15 minutes, which will cause it to thicken.
If you want a “magic shell” effect, simply pour the chocolate over a cold dessert such as ice cream and give it a few minutes to harden. Coconut oil solidifies when it’s cold, so this is completely natural!
In my experience, clients that are in treatment for bulimia, binge eating disorder, anorexia or bulimarexia are typically faced with an increased risk of inadequate nutrition. To this end, I try to provide my clients and readers nutritious and delicious recipes to enjoy both during and after their recovery journey at ‘The Norton Center for Eating Disorders & Obesity’.
Eating healthy can be quick and easy once you get the hang of it. The key is in the planning. When you get into the habit of having the right ingredients on hand, meal preparation is a breeze, not a source of agony.

Tuna salad is a favorite food of many of my patients that are in treatment for eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and bulimarexia. It’s easy to make, scrumptious, and full of protein! To avoid some of the not-so-healthy ingredients in store-bought mayo, I make my own. It’s so simple to make. Homemade mayo is mouthwatering and delicious; it beats the taste of store-bought mayo any day! My tuna salad recipe has become a favorite among family, friends, and patients. Organic, pasture-raised, chicken can also be substituted for the tuna to create an amazing chicken salad!
What kind of canned tuna is healthiest? According to Dr. Cate Shanahan, it is best to buy tuna that is in olive oil, rather than water. Olive oil preserves the essential omega-3 fats better than water. However, if it’s packed in another oil (such as canola, sunflower or cottonseed oil), Shanahan recommends opting for water-packed tuna. Canola, sunflower, and cottonseed oils tend to oxidize during processing. Not good news for your heart!
Tuna Salad
1-2 cans of wild-caught tuna, drained and flaked with fork (or cooked and cooled organic chicken, cubed) chopped onion (to taste) chopped celery (to taste) 4 egg whites (sauteed in olive oil and chopped) – save the egg yolks for homemade mayo homemade mayonnaise (recipe follows below) raisins or grapes (to taste)
Combine all ingredients. Serve on top of lettuce leaves, with a side of organic tomato slices and dill pickles.
Coconut Oil Mayonnaise
4 egg yolks + 1 whole egg 1/4 tsp ground sea salt 1/4 tsp garlic salt juice from 1/2 lemon 1/4-1/2 c white wine vinegar – (Coconut Secrets Vinegar) 2/3-1 c coconut oil
In food processor, very slowly process egg yolks and whole egg. With processor still running, slowly add in sea salt, garlic salt, lemon juice, and vinegar ingredients until completely mixed. Test for degree of saltiness and salt to taste. With processor running, add coconut oil and continue processing until blended completely.
