One of the strangest things about being a compulsive eater is that over and over again I would order binge/trigger foods with my regular graoceries and tell myself, for example, I'll eat a half cup a day of the Haagen-Dasz and it will last the week. Of course there was no way I could stop myself once I took my first bite. Yet I would do this over and over again like the movie Groundhog Day. It's a terrible feeling to be driven to eat, and eat, and eat with absolutely no way to control it. And what is even stranger is that if I was eating a bag of cookies, for example, and thought I'd finished it, then saw I had plenty left....I would feel DISAPPOINTED that I had to eat more, as if some entity was standing over me with a bullwhip, forcing me to eat. Insanity is the only word for it. Thank God for OMAD!!!
Is there an alcoholic in your genes? My father was an alcoholic and I learned at AA meetings that the psychological profiles and behaviors of those addicted to alcohol and compulsive eaters are quite similar. I wonder if there is a study on this somewhere.
Bingo!
just sharing my story.
my compulsive eating problems is whenever i touch a tiny piece of junk food it doesnt matter if it was tasty or not i would go crazy and stuffs a whole bunch of junk food down my system throughout the day despite being full, i find myself grabbing any available junk food and feeling the NEED to stuff more food until my wallet start to run out of cash or when i start feeling terrible. I avoided eating with the people i know and whenever i see someone i know as i am binging on junk i would avoid the person even if he or she is a good friend, its as if i have committed a crime and is afraid of letting anyone know.
As a result my workouts suffered, i gained weight my confidence dipped i get less productive but i just kept stuffing myself. Although i was able to eventually get back on track the cycle will restart whenever i touch any junk food. Me despite knowing the consequence returned to this vicious cycle many times and its so horrible. i always lost my six packs and gained them back only to lose them again it is so depressing.
I guess the best way out is to avoid them completely and refusing to eat them at all as if they were posion. Instead i could prepare some tasty pleasure foods from real and whole food like baked sweet potatoes and baked tempeh these foods brighten up my food just like the junk food but without all the side effects and comes pack full of nutrition
Well said.
Yes, this is the exact behavior I had for years. No doctor really acknowledges this issue and problem in any way so we continue to struggle alone and at best, go to groups like OEA which can often just be a b*tchfest and not helpful in any way. I even tried several years of counseling to try to address the BED. Nothing really worked until the OMAD. It is helpful to find channels like this where we can confirm the behaviors and find a way THROUGH and BEYOND with each other supporting in this type of community.
your channel is a treasure
OMG!! The gas station binges!! The feeling of ecstasy produced at that first bite of Reese's! And then the emotional checkout of denial while the rest of the food is consumed, barely tasting it...until I'm overfull. Never knew anyone else experienced that. I think I'm in the right channel....
Well said, my friend! I can tell you know exactly what I'm saying!!
Best advice I've ever heard for binge eating. Everything resonates; that interconnection between "crawling in a hole" syndrome, self worth, binge eating and taking back power. See, the body knows exactly what it's doing. It's trying to give you what you want. If you tell it you are unworthy (ie believe) it will give you something to feel unworthy about. Law of mirroring in action.
THANK YOU. Seriously. I love you. You're the first one from the health/fast/etc. community to talk about ACTUAL binging, not just 'oh I can't control myself and eat three cookies because thei're so tasty!'. People who binge eat usually know a lot about nutrition and health, it's often all we do during the day (at least, me lol), yet when the urges come, the knowledge doesn't help you. I lost a bunch of weight throught very low calorie restriction, then developed binge eating - I'm a girl, 5'2, around 120lbs and when in a binge session, can eat up to 10000 calories. It's not enjoyment at all, it's pure compulsion (what you also descriped as a habit! That's what it is! People never seem to realize this, but it's a wrong wired survival habit from our primal brain)! Sometimes I would cry in pain but still keep eating, waiting to just run out of food so I can finally stop. I'd go out in the night and throught the snow to get junky food that I didn't even really want. Get REALLY ashamed infront of the cashier because it's the third time a week I'm buying 30$ worth of candy. And it's so hard to break the habit, but once you unlink the pattern, it will fade. I tried ALL eating patterns and failed (actually, my last binge is like 4 days ago), and most people suggest that you have many small meals and never get hungry to avoid binging. Honestly, I was so scared of OMAD because of that - starving all day then eating 5 times of what I would usually eat? That encourages binging habits, doesn't it? It doesn't really. Food is simply a thing I 'don't do' during the day, and I have all day to plan and get excited for my dinner at night, which is usually quite healthy by then! Then like two hours later, I'm still full, but I allow myself some desert or treat because it's still an okay amount of food. That's a great feeling - to have 'earned' a big meals, and also being allowed to have something extra even thought it's not exactly healthy and I'm not hungry. But I feel like this gives me a good control. I hope it's not a honeymoon phase, and I might go back to two meals once I lose a little weight and feel more secure with my eating, but for now I actually feel good with an approach that I thought could never work!
Ps: it's so funny how there's your daughter on that picture - I watched some of your videos today and all I could think was how much of a calm, reassuring, fatherly person you are and if you have kids, they must be so lucky. I could listen to you just speaking without focusing on the subject at it calms me down a lot, haha :)
I started OMAD Aug 1st. Starting weight was 315lbs. By October 16 I was down to 260lbs. My goal was to reach 260lbs by the end of October. Since I achieved my goal early I decided to celebrate and have not stopped celebrating since the 16th. I"ve been BINGING non-stop and have ballooned back up to 280lbs as of today's weigh in (October 22nd) I"ve lost motivation. I'm afraid of gaining back anymore weight. What do I do!?!? The timing of this video is perfect. I'm trying to get back into the routine it's just really tough.
Well, congrats....but hopefully, you learned a valuable lesson on human nature and yourself. You've got to gradually cycle back in larger amounts of food. Takes about 4 months at a weight to stay at it. But if you resurrect old habits, then of course you are going to get the results you had before taking control. Jump back on and remember to give yourself the 15-lb range you need to be at (lower than your goal weight). You will hover up and down it as you maintain. It will be harder now that you've jumped ship, but you can reclaim the success you had. Follow the plan and aim to reacquire the stability you once had. You certainly can if you want to. You've already proved that.
Thanks for the advice. I started again today and felt great about it. During my time on OMAD I noticed that my bowel movements were almost non-existent. They went from daily to 2-3 times a week. What can I do to remedy this?
You're ok. Those are still normal bowel movements. If you want to up them, aim to get a good percentage of your food in the form of apples, beans, and high-fiber stuff. Any plant-based eating will help.
Thank you. This has been the most helpful information on binge eating I have ever encountered. I have been a binger since I was a kid (I'm now 39). A few years ago I lost 85 pounds (which put me squarely in the middle of normal BMI, 5'3" 115 lbs), and I was keeping it off just fine, until this year. I managed to gain back 15 pounds over the last 9 months, simply by binge eating once or twice a week. Amazing how old habits, when given the chance, come right back. I am now following the OMAD plan, and my chosen meal is dinner with my family, as it's the only time we are all eating together. Thank you so much.
Former binger here. I started fasting and now omad and did it in the morning as I felt , as you mentioned in the vid that appetite was lower and more in control. I was told by other fasters that I was doing it wrong because it seemed everyone was breaking their fast around noon or later. So i switched..just the past two weeks . And i am now finding fasting extremely difficult and even see a slight uptick in cals consumed and bingy thoughts returning. I think I shall go back to morning omad. It worked so much better.
Boy do I remember the joys I use to feel gorging myself and then going into a three hour food coma. Now, I think of that and cannot imagine how I lived like that. Eating junk made me tired all the time. Now I have boundless energy and food doesn't control my life.
food coma lol...
@@Mshodeinde lol
Just found your'e channel......OMG, sounds like me..I lost 60 pounds & have kept it off for about 3 years, but it's an every day struggle..I still binge about twice a month, but I just can't stop for good .... I HATE it!! Great info :)
Your channel is the best 💪
eat to live. not live to eat. good stuff.
Thank you for your insight, which is truth and honesty. Very very clear. Thank you.
I'm 'doing' OMAD just over a month now. The cleansing and clarity is better than any expectation, because it's real.
I have (had) diabetes II, overweight, high bloodpressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides. It is all going away. Slowly, but steady!
I will be able to stop with all the medication, which is a lot!
Beside that I have bilateral vestibulopathy, my balance organs don't function anymore, which gives so much problems I couldn't begin to explain, and people couldn't imagine how much impact this has on daily life. Any movement, and also sitting still is a big problem. Let alone doing sports, which I love and miss very much. My brain is constantly 'wrestling' with any environment. Tried everything for years, this will not go away.
But in spite of this, I feel like there is a new me. Or, like you said, the immature, conditioned me is dying. Like my brainpaths are re-wirering (? pardon my English, not my native language, I'm dutch). There is another kind of clarity which, as it seems, has no ending. Another dimension opens itself. Not as an ideal, but actually.
Not only because of OMAD and the energy that comes available, but mainly because of being honest and true to yourself.
I am very grateful to stumble upon OMAD, and your channel!
OMAD is one of the natural consequences of seeking truth in myself I guess.
I'm normal weight and I'm a binger. I've tried and failed so many times whether it's omad or keto or vegan or even carnivore. After so much fails I realize that I can not just try very hard to follow a plan or actions. I need to truly understand the plan by heart. Your videos to me just really make sense. They give me a reason to try to change once more. Thank you so much.
I don’t usually comment, but I appreciate you so much. Understanding the psychology and underlying mechanisms help me so much more than just a how-to or “thinspiration”... I truly want to change my life and process
this is such a revelation! good word about the brain and creating new patterns and breaking destructive ones!
Been there done that - so destructive.
Thank you for your great video. Binge eating is a serious problem on par with substance abuse.Your channel is great help.
I love that you actually go to the root on this instead of just simple practical steps. Listening I realize how addicted I am to eating and binging. Being on OMAD has really shown me that too. I am one of those odd ones that was always thin except maybe a troll belly. That didn't help me because then people would poke at me for being thin and I would eat more to prove to them that I DO EAT...A LOT! I out ate everyone since I was a child. Now I'm trying to find ways to replace my habits of binging when I'm tired or just feeling like I want to relax and veg out for the day.. thats when the binging comes on strong.
This was awesome.
Just discovered your channel. This video in particular describes me. Currently at 322lbs, 6 foot 2. Your videos have fired me up, some I'm starting the OMAD tomorrow. I have a slight advantage, as I often go for 12 or 13 hours without eating, so a good healthy meal every 24 hours should be possible for me.
an honest and really useful reminder of how chronic bingers reflect world...
Hands DOWN the best and (to me) most relatable talk about binge eating that I've heard.
So wonderfully insightful. Great advice! Thank you!
Great talk, thanks!
I’ve found that this not only the solution for the binge problem, but it can also apply on everything!!!
Good AM Joe, I'm catching up on all your vid. really appreciated them and thank God of putting you in my path. God bless u always!!
What value do I offer and what passive aggressive issues is making me unhappy about myself or my life.....both points were incredibly poignant and then eating socially instead of binging in "secret"......seriously good advice all way round. Topping it off with what added value do you offer in your life was hitting the nail on the head. A BIG thanks for all you shared.....excellent and very reasonable suggestions that will have a great impact. Much appreciated.....just sub'd......
I really needed to hear this.
Very relatable...Fantastic video. great work you're doing Joe! Thanks!
WOW!!! This is amazing! This hits the nail on the head. I totally have crawl in the hole syndrome! THANK YOU for this brilliant, eye-opening advice. 💕
Thanks Joe for this explanation, so helpful and precise.
Thanks for this video..i identify w it so much. I am now on the OMAD and see how it helps in all areas
This video triggered a binge yesterday. Of course, as a 52-year food addict, I am always looking for an excuse to eat. Another learning experience for me. I am new on OMAD. It works even if I overeat at my one meal. I am a diabetic controlling my blood sugar with diet and exercise. OMAD causes my body to burn more fat than normal. Even though I have some detox symptoms. which I don't care for, I feel pretty good most of the time. In comparison, I forgot how horribly sick binging makes me, more now than ever before. I am starting over on OMAD today. It is the best option I have ever found, other than water fasting, which I am in no way ready for and which is not a for the rest of my life daily kind of thing. OMAD is a for the rest of my life kind of thing. I am grateful for the opportunity OMAD presents and have hope for the future.
Really do give omad a go, it will help massivly in discipline eating. Let your body adjust to the new eating habit. Maybe start with 16-8 then go to omad.
I needed this BIG TIME
Great video!
Soooo many good tips here!!! ❤️ thank you.
Brilliant insight and knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you so much, this is me! I am terrified of not eating most of the time, but I am going too! One day at a time or even one minute at a time in times of crisis..
well said, keep up the good work.
Your talking about Little Ceaser's pizza is making me hungry.
could almost be describing me in this video. thanks for the help and advice
My problem is I am a grazer. All day I have something to chew on. I have tried OMAD twice and end up falling off because I mess up and say screw it. I use to be fit. Somewhere along the way I lost my will power man. I think I stayed fit when I was looking for a gf, now that im married its like I dont care. Im back to grazing and when i try to diet i fail because im not motivated anymore.
Your wisdom is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your videos. Are you planning on writing a book? Let us know!
Thanks Joe!
Fantastic, thank you so much.
This is spot on
Thank you! This really helped being a binge eater to celebrate anything from cheering myself up after a bad day or even success! I have this thing I need to ask u about, why I always give up on my weight loss program?
It bugs me everytime and I wish I knew why because only by knowing the reason why, that I can switch this bad habit of starting a new workout/diet plan and not pulling it off till the end. I usually last for one month before I start binge eating like never before and feeling down and hating myself for giving up and then eating again and that's how I entered this vicious cycle that I wanna break so bad!
Contact me for a one-on-one.
okay, perfect!
Omg that's me at mo
hello sir! love your channel and your philosophy.
I've seen all your meal videos, but I'm wondering your thoughts on dairy consumption and if you try to minimize it?
Nowadays, dairy is a treat. Just like life dictates, it's for babies to grow. It's not for humans (in the case of milk, anyway). But I did have chocolate milk as a beverage as I was OMADing my weight away, so it can be used. But I only regularly use cheese and butter in my cooking now. Something like a milkshake is more of a treat for me than anything else.
Understood, I really appreciate your console and will probably stick to no dairy unless it's a very high quality pizza in rare cases.
man this video hit home for real!!!!
19:15 thank you for that piece of wisdom.
Hi there, just recently found your channel. How long did it take to lose the weight? I have been doing this for 2 weeks, down 8 LBS. I need to lose a total of 60 to be at a healthy weight. My goal is 6 months. Attainable? What do you think? Thank you!!
Would you recommend taking any supplements on the omad diet?
my friends and family would come in my house and say it feels like ANTARCTICA 😂😂 I'm like fineee whatever I'll turn it up then lol
that's my weakness, pop , candy bars and cookies. specialty when I had a long day and very tired. thank you
Some might even argue that emotional eating doesn't even exist. The reason so many of us eat junk is not to soothe deep emotional holes in our souls. If you put chocolate in a rat cage, what happens? The rats won't binge on the chocolate because they have emotion problems. The rats will binge on the chocolate because its physiologically addicting and has an unnaturally high caloric density. Pick an animal, any animal, and it will react the same way.
When you found yourself wanting to celebrate with food, why didn't you steam up pounds of broccoli instead? You chose addicting garbage from the gas station not because of emotional issues, but because candy and chips activate the pleasure pathways in our brains.....just like it will in rats. Although, based on how much broccoli I have in my fridge, one could certainly say that I was addicted to it. Point being, it's almost impossible to binge on whole foods.....what ends up happening is we become naturally satiated and simply stop eating.
Well, I do massively binge on fruits, rice, beans, nuts and even veggies
Addiction is the key here....the thought that makes something irresistible be it drugs, alcohol or food. Would you say to an alcoholic just have sensible alcohol such as a light beer and expect them to stop at one?
The Rice Industry A
It is them chemical reaction that we crave, however it is still emotional eating, in attempt to block out our reality and avoid our issues... We use food as a crutch and lack control over our lifestyle... This is it! Now I am learning to deal with my problems bit by bit...food is only for nourishment, but I still love it
You just described my life lbvs
I can’t stop. :(
Fuck... Thank you so much.
one questions! can i still eat carps when I'm doing OMAD for weight loss?
Nevine Girgis it depends on what you consider carbs lol. Ice cream, French fries, and burgers are all commonly thought of as carbs but they are primarily fats. Beans fruit potatoes are all wonderful sources of carbs that you can eat.

Yeh and other types of fish.
If I put fresh lemon in my water during my fast will that stop my fast?
physiologically yes (meaning literally it will) but its a great way to get into practice of fasting. take it easy and make the change slow
Toni Franklin a general guide I've seen is that if it's not more than say 35 calories it doesn't break the fast physiologically speaking. It's not enough for your body to really pay attention to.
How do you stop thinking about food all the time?
You lay down a new track record by putting in time not allowing food thoughts to alter your decisions. And it's damn hard. But you are building currency now by staying the course. Just remember that it will become equally as addictive to set patterns and eat on a daily basis and get a regulated "fix" that is functional and utilitarian in nature. You get out what you put in--law of productivity, but eventually, it won't seem so cold and irrelevant to you. It will just BE!
I get sleepy after my omad.
What do you eat?
mmmmmm....i love 5th avenue candy bars
