I'm so proud of myself, I just ate dinner and then I kind of 'wanted' to binge eat and I already got chips and chocolate, but then I didn't eat the chocolate. That's like A HUGE step for me. I wish everyone the best and believe in yourself!!
I had been an emotional binge eater for over a decade. Here's what helped me overcome it: 1. Sufficient sleep every single day 2. Regular Pranayam practice 3. Long walks in the evenings 4. Fixed eating schedule (3 full meals a day, with sufficient quantities of macro and micro nutrients) 5. Not feeling shame when relishing a piece of cake or other dessert on special occasions 6. Supplementation (calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B complex) 7. Keeping my body hydrated with water and herbal teas
As a binge eater in recovery, the most important thing she said in the video is “MAKE SURE YOU’RE SATISFIED.” So many of my binges could’ve been prevented if I ate enough and allowed myself to eat things that I was craving (in moderation of course).
How I eat definitely ties in to my mood.. if I’m on a “clean eating streak”.. then Wow ..things get done - the whole house is clean, I’m exercising, dinner is on the table and excited to cook, energetic, I’m a more efficient worker at work, way more organized with everything , you name it.. but it never lasts and the binge days/weeks creep in and take over.. and then I’m just the opposite .. house not as clean, don’t feel like cooking because I binged all day and feel like crap) .. it really is insane how I change because of how I eat .. almost like the manic/depressive for eating
Katie, I've gained 40 lbs from binge eating while working from home during covid. Now I;m feeling really disgusting and looking for ways to avoid that habit. Perfect timing. Thank you.
I totally understand the feeling. The shame that comes after binge eating can be so intense. You will get through this! I found Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping and that's what helped me overcome binge eating and naturally lose weight.
I’ll crave a food and constantly think about it. The cravings can be all consuming . After I eat whatever the craving is It temporarily goes away, but then I feel really guilty like I committed a crime. Then the cycle starts all over again. Similar to drug addiction. Any1 else have this problem? any suggestions that help?
A weird one but replacing my morning meal with something very protein full like eggs or chicken or a mix of both, not sure why but i crave less when i stay away from as many carbs as possible.
It depends on what you crave. When I crave sugar I'm mostly low on magnesium. When I crave chips I'm often low in sodium. So eat vitamins, fruits instead of sweets. Salt the food. It helps a little. But for me, it comes in vawes and also PMS make it harder.
I haven’t binged since January 2nd. I’ve never had such a healthy relationship with food as I have right now. Never thought it would get getter and it finally has!
ADHD & binge eater here. I struggle with the self loathing & keep beating myself up for not being able to resist the urge. Perfectly logical adult who knows what I need to do, so why can't I do it?
For it seems to always come in waves. So eat good on the good days. And let go on the bad days, but Only count the good days. And slowly those will become more and more.
Same here. The adhd makes it so much harder! I get over emotional and then I can’t stop myself from eating sugar or bread in very big amounts 😩 I heard adhd meds can help with this but I get severe side effects so I can’t.. I try to just of accept the fact that I can’t enjoy dessert. It just starts a binge episode.. then I want more sugar every day.. For me it helps to not go to the store alone, or ideally have my partner do grocery shopping because I will just buy my trigger foods otherwise. If you have someone who can do that it helps a bit. But the stores are everywhere if you live in a big city like me so it’s hard. I have to try to avoid them.
For me it's feeling intimidated to cook. When my depression gets really bad, the last thing I want to do is cook a meal, go shopping, read a recipe, deal with the dishes, etc. I just want to consume and be done with it. So eating take out or frozen pizzas or something, lots of door dash, hits the spot.
Same that’s how it starts with me, if there’s nothing I can eat right away I’ll put it off because I just don’t have the energy to get up and cook so when I finally do I overeat because it’s the end of the day and I’ll be having my first meal 😬
@@MirmT95 yes same. It can be so hard not to go for the comfortable junk food when you just don't have the energy and all you want to do is sleep. I have found spending an evening prepping for the week by chopping veggies and meat and getting all that out of the way has helped me.
I enjoy the 'mating' rituals connected to any meal: The Appetizer, (food foreplay), a good table wine, (oral jones), main course (rough sex), dessert, (after glow cuddle), & then sleep out under the stars at night & dream of Hershey Bars.
This may not work for a lot of people but I deal with the same issue. I started ordering from hello fresh where all the ingredients are portioned out, cooking times aren’t that long, recipes are simple, and you don’t have to deal with grocery shopping. It’s about the same price as ordering take out!
I’ve struggled on and off with binge eating for most of my life. I was on a good streak for awhile but I’ve been really falling into the habit of binging again. All these are helpful tips. I’m hoping I can put it to use and get some kind of relief. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I totally understand!! I struggled with that exact same thing! You will get through this! I found Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping and that's what helped me overcome binge eating!
I’m going through this exact same thing right now, I was never able to get help so I did research and worked on trying to recover all by myself but I finally looked for outside help this time 🤞🤞 luck and love to anyone struggling with this ❤
Yes.. it definitely is. Diagnostically they call this OSFED (which stands for otherwise specified feeding or eating disorder) which just means that our ED shape shifts and doesn't meet the criteria for only one ED. xoxo
Late middle school/early highschool I started starving myself. I remember the school showed us this video we all had to watch in the auditorium about the dangers of bulimia and I thought to myself "wow, what an easy way to lose weight" instead of being scared away like the film intended. I then began this cycle of starving for about 3 days before I got so hungry I caved. I would then binge like crazy, eating everything in sight and trying to hide the evidence from my parents. Then I would feel so guilty I would purge. That began a cycle of eating and purging until my throat would get so raw that I would eat normal without purging after. Then after a few days/weeks of that I would feel so guilty about all the food I let sit in my stomach that I would start starving again and the cycle continued. At 17 I started dating my now fiance and i stopped starving and purging because i was finally happy. Unfortunately dating involved a lot of dinner dates and i think i started to associate the feeling of being happy because i was on a date with him, with the act of me eating food. Now i feel utterly addicted. It's been 8 years and i can't stop binging for more than a few weeks. I crave food constantly, even when i am so full it literally hurts. I can tell myself all day that I will control the urges and have a plan for healthier things to eat, but suddenly the doorbell rings and the delivery driver is standing in front of me with the 2 giant burritos i ordered ... it's like my rational brain shuts off and my fat brain takes over. I feel like I'm screaming from the bottom of a well when I'm trying to control my eating habits. Like I can hear myself but someone else is in control. I'm getting married in 58 days and I'm just hoping with all my might there is enough fabric to let out around my hips that I'll be able to sit down...
omg i need this!! i swear im addicted to food. candy is the first thing i reach for in the morning and if i wake up in the middle of the night i reach for candy then fall back asleep. next month i'll be 1 year clean from drugs, but since being clean i've really turned to eating. eating is soo comforting to me but i'm gaining soooo much wait, its bad 😔
I would really look into an Intuitive Eating Dietician and a therapist that is intuitive eating and possibly Health at Every Size informed!I hate that diet culture leads us to believe that we are addicted to food when it’s something that we REALLY need to live. Especially sugar which is so demonized! Also congrats on one year sober! That’s an amazing achievement
Not having triggering foods within arms reach works wonders. Just don't buy it and keep it in the house. Or don't bake something and expect to only have one piece. You can't eat it if it's not there!
@@shiiii6755 It's about discipline and self-respect. Be the person who cares enough for the only body you will ever have to realize that piece of cake or ice cream cone or whatever is only instant gratification. Here and gone in an instant. Your future health and avoidance of "age-related" diseases are so much more important. Cut down or eliminate carbs and sweets and you will have an immensely easier time at binge avoidance. Your hormones balance, the cravings disappear, you don't get hangry anymore, more energy, clearer thinking. And do something else for self-care- lift, yoga, meditation, walking outside. Once your body starts responding positively, you won't want to ruin the progress by binging and then starting back at square one.
I don't know why this just came up! I am depressed and have gained 12 pounds recently as a result of binge eating (punishing myself0 Just last night I had a innout at midnight. I am not motivated to watch (sorry) but this is the only conversation of my day.
Sometimes we have to lose control to gain control. Just because you break one glass in the cupboard doesn't mean you throw the rest out. Eat good on days you can.
I found this so helpful!!! Not just for me but for a lot of people I know who are stuck on the dieting - restrict then binge cycle. Thank you Katie!! ❤️
This video came at the perfect time. My eating behaviors went downhill back when Covid began, and ever since I’ve been struggling to get it under control again. One of my goals for the summer is to get back into a healthy eating routine and nourish my body properly again. Thanks for all the tips!
I hopefully will be able study psychology in 2022/2023, and you know you are such a big rolemodel to me! You are just so kind and understanding♡, I really hope I will be that way!
Thank you so much for highlighting the struggle with binge eating at night. I have a lot of shame around that. It was also really helpful to talk about the binge/restrict cycle. I find that so hard to get out of.
I totally understand!! I struggled with binge eating at night for SO LONG! You will get through it! I found Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping and that's what helped me overcome binge eating. And really using that to heal the binge and restrict cycle
I’ve gained 9 lbs from binge eating in the span of 3 weeks. I was at such a healthy place in terms of sleep, nutrition, cooking and going to the gym. I let my social life eat into my study time, eat into my sleep time. No sleep is disastrous for me. I get *so* hungry and unable to feel full after no sleep. How I’m going to stop binge-eating: 1. not going to where there’s food after my dinner. I don’t care if dishes aren’t done. I’d rather have dirty dishes in the morning than binge at night from the stress of doing all my dishes when I’m already depleted from school. 2. Homework on time so I sleep on time. 3. Cook & meal prep & continue to lots of fruits, vegetables and protein. It doesn’t matter if I binge; I still need to eat. 4. I want to stop watching RUclips videos when I’m binging. I love comedy. Next time, I’ll watch it in my room, outside of the kitchen and the basement, where the food is kept. 5. I’ll make sure to slow down when I eat my 3 main meals and not do other tasks. Lectures + eating, driving + eating, eating in a rush in the car before the gym, eating while watching videos or texting or scrolling on Instagram makes my body not recognize that I’m eating. So, mono-task eating. Pray for me, y’all. By end of day tomorrow, success will be defined as day 1 of celebrating no binging.
I have never really thought of getting a dietician for my eating disorder. I started with a therapist and never thought about seeing the two hand in hand
This is my biggest emotional crutch, to deal with my BPD. But now that I'm pregnant after 7years if trying I really want to learn to control the urges and "need" to binge! So this video came at the perfect time 😊
Being pregnant really helped me not to binge eat. If I didn't have a small meals throughout the day I was extremely nauseous. Having small healthy snacks or unhealthy snacks throughout the day really helped me to not binge.
@@chelseygarrett4221 thank you I've had my baby now he came early and I gained absolutely nothing during my pregnancy ☺ he was kept in hospital though for 2 weeks and then this last for night he has been back in hospital so I've been binging a lot since his birth 11weeks ago and I've gained about a stone/14lbs 😢
@@nikkimcd26channel65 Awww, it's so hard - probably the sleep deprivation. Now that he's a year old, hopefully you can focus on getting that 7.5 hours a night that you need :)
Dunno why, but i burst into tears halway in the video. I’ve been trying to stop binge eating for a long time, and in my diet, i started binge eating. Because of my insecurity, i’m trying to stop myself to binging, but it always ends up bad. Im really glad i found this video.
I usually love your content, but as a therapist that has binge eating disorder… this is too simplistic. There are foods someone with an eating disorder should not eat. Each person should work closely with a sponsor from OA or their dietitian to determine “red light” foods that are taken out of rotation.
It's so hard to follow these or know how to because I have PCOS and am told I need to diet and stay away from "bad" food and to fast,ect.. then I get frustrated and end up binge eating:(
I spoke with a dietician with my dad for his diabetes and all she talked about was dieting and cutting out fatty foods and sugary foods, and carbs and limiting caloric intake. This all sounded contrary to eating disorder information and sounded unhealthy to me in the way she was telling him to restrict himself so extremely. He tried to eat how she said for a few weeks and then bam he started eating nothing but the foods she had told him to restrict, and refusing to eat the foods she had told him to eat. So to me it was just like when I have gotten into ED mindset and restrict then completely binge. Even though the appointment was for my dad I ended up internalizing the message she was giving. My brain began telling me again that I couldn't eat some things because they were "Bad" and that I must fill up on vegetables so I wouldn't eat any carbs, sugars or fats... needless to say my binging got worse. So are some dieticians just unaware of the correct information to help prevent or worsening ED? If the advice they give for a diabetic only ends up causing them to swing into disordered eating how is that helpful? This experience has caused me to not ever want to se a dietician for myself because I am so easily influenced into diet culture thinking and disordered thinking about food.
Binge eating is a tough addiction to shift. Changing addictive behaviors is hard! If you're dealing with this, please be patient with yourself and reach out for help.
So I get we need to stop dieting but what if I still just don’t like the way I look and still need to lose weight? I am over weight but the fact that I need to stop dieting really really stresses me out
Quick comment because I have problems sleeping so I decided to listen and watch the new kati video about binge eating honestly don't think I have or suffer from binge eating but I definitely have sleeping problems and I do sometimes still feel hungry even after haveing a meal sometimes I have breakfast and lunch then later in the day have dinner and some days I only eat 1 thing all day or I have days I just end up craving and wanting snacks and of food I can completely understand and relate to this video partly I eat more than usual on days my depression is very bad I know other people here will and can understand and relate to my comment thank you for the video s you share with us kati
I can't eat much I don't even eat a lot I am in flight or fight mode where it cptsd with anxiety I don't have any medication with what is going on I am dealing with it I walk and my medication was taken away
I'm trying to cope with my disorder. I have never not been obsessed with food. My whole life, I have eaten and then gone to sneak more food. Binges are very difficult for me when I'm alone. For the first time in my life, I opened up to my husband about it. It's embarrassing and tough to talk about. Even now I feel ashamed but I'm finally trying to face my disorder. Thank you for the help.
I feel you l am in my mid forties and it seem food is in the back of my mind ALLthe time. I had a lot of trauma surrounding food growing up with my parents especially my father. I have tod my doctor some of the things l went through and they were just in complete shock l was seriously denied food growing up. I was a very large when l was born. And all through my life. I never understood the interest of drugs smoking or alcohol growing up. Butvyou put dessert in front of me then l am totally out of control. Never in my life could l possibly understood how people chose drugs ,drinking or smoking ove a delicious cake or icecream. If l can't get the food l want and it stresses me do l often self harm or to stop myself thinking about the food. It's ABSOLUTELY horrendous
It's hard to stop. When I control for too long i rebounded bad. I can eat from 1pm to 6/7pm in one of those days. Doesn't help that I've developed diabetes due to inactivity (dysthymia, hikikomori)
However, I think replacing refined sugars with fruits is better idea. And healthy-wise binge eating on fruits less detrimental, than binging on sweets or chocolate. Especially with those sugary snacks that are filled with additional fat and salt.
Does it matter if someone binges on fruit and almond butter or on ice cream and cookies? A binge is a binge and they all revolve around carbs. It's about discipline and self-respect. And avoiding carbs in the first place. Your body will thank you...
I binge eat on the way home after work and feel the need to hide it from my wife. I hate myself and am so embarrassed immediately after. I hate myself for being so weak.
I have quiet BPD and had neglectful parents. I was very overweight as a child and didn't know how to lose weight so I just stopped eating. I had a binge/restrict relationship with food for years. Since having kids I've stopped the restricting and just been constantly binging, I comfort eat and I need comfort ALOT. I am more emotionally hungry than physically. My quiet BPD is so bad and I have chronic pain everyday and 2 young kids and my husband works all the time and I have no friends, all I have is food :(
Where do you live? If you have no friends, that's so hard on you. You will meet moms if you go to the park or library story time and chat up every mom you see, with no expectations, just think about making their life more pleasant with a nice conversation, and you'd be surprised how many friends you'll meet when you have no expectations from anyone! I used to be pretty introverted before kids, but when my oldest was 8 months old, after my friends insisted I get out of the house, thank God I did, it changed everything. I just happened to be listening to podcasts where it clicked, how to get out of my own way and just focus on loving people without needing anything back from them. I constantly asked people for playdates, meeting at a park, usually I'd text everyone I knew (all moms with kids the same age, that is), and now I have amazing friends from that and really must say am much happier being extroverted. I hope that helps! It's very comforting just being able to get those adult conversations especially with other moms in the same boat!
thank you. after seven years of suffering from binge ed, I'm finally diagnosed with Adhd, depression and anxiety. and “helping myself” never felt better. i carefully follow tips. im done with diet culture aftet seven years of my life, thinking about it every single day. and ive never felt more healthier, happier and in shape. i eat my healthy meals, i have my favorite snacks and haven’t binge on them since i’ve followed these methods. im finally relieved.
I was just about to go and buy myself a packet of cupcakes. While watching this video I realized that I actually haven't eaten since 10 o clock this morning (it's currently 8pm where I live). I've made myself a sandwich instead. I really need to start meal prepping because as much as I love to eat, I either overdo it to the extreme or completely forget to eat altogether. I had no idea it was this bad until now. Thank you for the video:)
I’m always binge eating and I feel horrible about myself after. I start to think and count all the bad things I ate and then hate myself at the end. I start looking at myself in the mirror and see that my belly has grown all in one day
I am autistic and have always had big struggles with binge eating. The only way I can keep myself from binging is shopping daily for my food. I also find it overwhelming to have food in my cupboards is another reason. I have found a way that works for me at last.
I feel binge eating it should be defined as "Eating more then you would eat in a normal "happy" day". The individual matter. We all have different eating patterns, schedules, diets. Eating more then hunger or a simple desire asks for. Binge eating is, after all, triggered by negative emotions and/or experiences.
1:26 that makes so much sense!!! I don't know about anyone else but after a good cry and you have a sip of something, a drink of water or tea for example it's kind of like a breath of air in how it somehow calms you down - my mind 🤯 blown because the logic seems common sense!
You help me so much to diagnose what I'm going through ... That is so helpful... I'm struggling with depression or anxiety about a year... I wish i discuss my life with you so i can get a good therapy. Love u ❤️
I was in a cycle of binge eating until I felt numb and then eating nothing for the next few days because I felt ashemed of myself. It is really hard for me to look in the mirror without cyring. I will try my best to stop and get to my ideal weight. I hope all of you will do it too!
Excellent. I'm 55 and have been dieting since the 4th grade. I've lost over 100lbs twice. I'm over all of it. All the exercising all the restricting all the safe food bad food. I'm done with all of it. If I'm craving something. There's a reason. I can eat anything reasonably
I woke out on a consistent basis but can’t lose weight because of this. My problem is not eating when I’m busy during the day then I binge eat right before I go to bed which is the worst. It’s been a habit for years.
Kati, this was the most helpful video you’ve ever made for me :’) thank you for talking about “healthy” foods and weight gain the way you do because it really makes me feel like someone understands
I used to binge and thought it was because I had some deep dark psychological problem. Turned out I was binging because I was starving myself for years with orthorexia. Once I added back carbs and started eating a balanced diet the binges stopped. That was back in 2011 and I have since found out that the evidence based treatment for BED according to science is to stop restricting. Love to everyone.
Thx! With 15 years passed now in therapy, OA 12 step, journaling I have felt the need pf a binge stronger and stronger. This educational video taught a few things I've never been aware of. Like restricting with a bland, low cal meals will accumulate having the body crave that flavorful, aromatic meal leading to a binge. Plus talking, talking, listening to others about it hasn't helped but rather has fortified the want of binge eating in me; I think my shame cycle has escalated in OA meetings listening to victimized women, when this man faces life hurts but apparently a man has no comparative right to healing as women in this particular day and age - as this one group of 4 women screamed at me several years ago. I buried my head in isolation in 2017. Just coming out and breathing free and light again. Anywho I appreciate this balanced, honest insightful talk about binge eating.
Near the beginning when you mentioned that both eating and drinking activate the same thing explains why I sometimes tell myself, "aye man don't stress eat, your just thirsty" i drink water and most of the time I'm good to go and feel hydrated Edit: I made this comment before I seen 4 😂😂
I've struggled with binge eating for many years, to the point of gluttony. Is there anything that can help with food noise & OCD intrusive thoughts? I struggle with thinking about food 24/7 and fear that I'm eating myself to death. I just started therapy and hoping to see some positive change. In my area, central Illinois, there is not much help or resources for people with eating disorders.
I've got a fear of choking (I choked when i was little and my aunt saved me) and now puree everything, what sort of therapy would you recommend to overcome my phobia? Thanks
You eat nothing solid? How is your gut? I'd would start with one simple thing, you think you can eat and not puree it. And eat like that for maybe a month. Then next month you start with 2 things you don't puree. And so on.
I really like watching your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Could you do a video on celibacy? What is the psychological community's view on celibacy? Do they consider it to be a form of deprivation? I am trying to be celibate for religious reasons and am finding it challenging.
I have hs food issues as back as I can remember, even before I start school at 6,I even knew back then I was not really hungry, but wanted food,I have no.idea what I was feeling,I would eat till.i made myself sick,my mother at 1 point placed a lockman cupboard and the fridge,to keep me put of it,sweets were alway a bad thing for me I never could just have a couple of anything had to eat till.i was gone. I found much later in life I do have ADD.now hear there is a connection between, back in the 50,60,70,no one even heard off ADD. Where I live there are no counciler that specialize in food adfiction,i have called everyplace in my area.reg theripest have no.idea when I try talking about it with them,they offer reg ideas that do not work.they have no idea what I am telling them.they just dont get it.been a yoyo for years take it off gain it back. I will eat things that I dont even really like.idk just defeated. Older now,still.trying to get control.thanks for listening
If you were over eating food it probably means that you are restricting certain food groups or ingredients. You may feel deprived and so when you get the opportunity you end up over eating to overcompensate for all of the under eating and restriction. The body does not like to be deprived of food and will rebel if you try to starve yourself
I believe traditionally trained dietitians are not always helpful. For instance for years they have recommended too many carbs for many diabetics. They still promote low fat diets using the falsified data from the 1960’s, low fat diets promote hunger and thus overeating on bad carbs. They have a one diet fits all approach. If one BP med or one antidepressant or one chemo drug doesn’t work on everyone, why would the scientists believe that one diet works for everyone, when there is so much obvious genetic variability amongst people’s metabolisms and how they put on or lose weight? So please don’t require every patient see a dietitian. That being said, I like your therapist take on how to approach BED.
I wish we wouldn’t leave out the fact that highly processed foods hijack and mess up your hunger cues. I’m not saying cut them out-then you just feel left out and binging happens. But you also can’t totally trust hunger around them if you didn’t sufficiently mitigate them with protein and fiber (which you do mention, but not specifically enough) and even then if the amount is too high even the extra protein and fiber doesn’t catch the imbalance. It’s ok to be aware of how this stuff affects you without demonizing it-but we pretend it’s the same as other food for how it makes you feel and it’s just not. Even devoid of the fiber and protein it isn’t just normal food. It’s engineered to be addictive. It is seriously unfair and the reason binging is so common. Most people just cannot binge Whole Foods. We just need to be aware.
Kati, I'm not sure if I'm a binge eater. When I was young, and again now after leaving my abusive husband, I live way below the poverty line. When I was still living with my parents, my mother wouldn't let me eat as part of her "punishments", and right now, even though I have food stamps, my anxiety disorder makes it almost impossible to leave my apartment, never mind go to the grocery store (I know so many people were distressed about the lockdown orders for Covid, I personally was thrilled that I couldn't leave my house). So I find when I do have food I feel like I eat a lot. So is this binge eating or something else like my body trying to restore proper vitamin and mineral levels after being without? Please respond 🙏
I'm so proud of myself, I just ate dinner and then I kind of 'wanted' to binge eat and I already got chips and chocolate, but then I didn't eat the chocolate. That's like A HUGE step for me. I wish everyone the best and believe in yourself!!
Yeah exactly! Its about the small steps!
So proud of you!!! Small steps in the right direction for the win!!! xoxo

2. Regular Pranayam practice
3. Long walks in the evenings
4. Fixed eating schedule (3 full meals a day, with sufficient quantities of macro and micro nutrients)

Next Video: How to stop binge watching
👍🏼😂💀
As a binge eater in recovery, the most important thing she said in the video is “MAKE SURE YOU’RE SATISFIED.” So many of my binges could’ve been prevented if I ate enough and allowed myself to eat things that I was craving (in moderation of course).
Yes this! The only reason I binged is I was not satisfied or content in what I was eating.
How I eat definitely ties in to my mood.. if I’m on a “clean eating streak”.. then Wow ..things get done - the whole house is clean, I’m exercising, dinner is on the table and excited to cook, energetic, I’m a more efficient worker at work, way more organized with everything , you name it.. but it never lasts and the binge days/weeks creep in and take over.. and then I’m just the opposite .. house not as clean, don’t feel like cooking because I binged all day and feel like crap) .. it really is insane how I change because of how I eat .. almost like the manic/depressive for eating
I'm so glad you made this video, I've been trying to stop binging for so long💖
I hope it’s helpful ❤️❤️

A weird one but replacing my morning meal with something very protein full like eggs or chicken or a mix of both, not sure why but i crave less when i stay away from as many carbs as possible.
It depends on what you crave. When I crave sugar I'm mostly low on magnesium.
When I crave chips I'm often low in sodium.
So eat vitamins, fruits instead of sweets. Salt the food.
It helps a little. But for me, it comes in vawes and also PMS make it harder.
sometimes intense cravings can be linked to hormonal imbalance like pcos
@@lutmildatulpenzwiebel8769 wow that’s interesting, I have severe PCOS. I see an endocrinologist. I never made the connection.
@@pr8872 I’m low on magnesium and Vit D, my Doc just stated me on supplements. Thank u for the tips.
I haven’t binged since January 2nd. I’ve never had such a healthy relationship with food as I have right now. Never thought it would get getter and it finally has!
What did you do to stop
I am so proud of you! This is wonderful! Great job.
ADHD & binge eater here. I struggle with the self loathing & keep beating myself up for not being able to resist the urge. Perfectly logical adult who knows what I need to do, so why can't I do it?
For it seems to always come in waves. So eat good on the good days. And let go on the bad days, but Only count the good days. And slowly those will become more and more.
Because ADHD is a b***. Hello, fellow brain here!
Same here. The adhd makes it so much harder! I get over emotional and then I can’t stop myself from eating sugar or bread in very big amounts 😩 I heard adhd meds can help with this but I get severe side effects so I can’t.. I try to just of accept the fact that I can’t enjoy dessert. It just starts a binge episode.. then I want more sugar every day.. For me it helps to not go to the store alone, or ideally have my partner do grocery shopping because I will just buy my trigger foods otherwise. If you have someone who can do that it helps a bit. But the stores are everywhere if you live in a big city like me so it’s hard. I have to try to avoid them.
Cravings are like stray cats. Keep feeding them and they keep coming back. Get rid of carbs and the cravings go away. Guaranteed.
@cinnamongirl3070 Oh, I like this analogy. Many thanks ♡
Feeling full doesnt help me stop bingeing
I never feel full.
Wow the fact that I’m dealing with this rn I been starving myself for a while now and 3 days is the longest I’ve gone and I’m binging today 😔
Oh no Fatima:( pls eat! You deserve it!
I am so sorry you're going through this.. I hope this video was helpful!! xoxo
OMG KATI, YOU UPLOADED AT THE PERFECT TIME!!!
I was *_literally_* binge eating when you uploaded this😂
Me too.. i make healthy desserts and binge and binge and binge. I gain weight and feel shame .
For me it's feeling intimidated to cook. When my depression gets really bad, the last thing I want to do is cook a meal, go shopping, read a recipe, deal with the dishes, etc. I just want to consume and be done with it. So eating take out or frozen pizzas or something, lots of door dash, hits the spot.
Same that’s how it starts with me, if there’s nothing I can eat right away I’ll put it off because I just don’t have the energy to get up and cook so when I finally do I overeat because it’s the end of the day and I’ll be having my first meal 😬
@@MirmT95 yes same. It can be so hard not to go for the comfortable junk food when you just don't have the energy and all you want to do is sleep. I have found spending an evening prepping for the week by chopping veggies and meat and getting all that out of the way has helped me.
I enjoy the 'mating' rituals connected to any meal: The Appetizer, (food foreplay), a good table wine, (oral jones), main course (rough sex), dessert, (after glow cuddle), & then sleep out under the stars at night & dream of Hershey Bars.
@@XFry333X Thanks for the tip.
This may not work for a lot of people but I deal with the same issue. I started ordering from hello fresh where all the ingredients are portioned out, cooking times aren’t that long, recipes are simple, and you don’t have to deal with grocery shopping. It’s about the same price as ordering take out!
I’ve struggled on and off with binge eating for most of my life. I was on a good streak for awhile but I’ve been really falling into the habit of binging again. All these are helpful tips. I’m hoping I can put it to use and get some kind of relief. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I totally understand!! I struggled with that exact same thing! You will get through this! I found Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping and that's what helped me overcome binge eating!
I’m going through this exact same thing right now, I was never able to get help so I did research and worked on trying to recover all by myself but I finally looked for outside help this time 🤞🤞 luck and love to anyone struggling with this ❤
Me too I wish I could stop it's either I binge eat or starve and over work out it's such a bad habit to break
Is it possible having anorexia, bulimia and binge episodes at the same time? Because it's me.
Absolutely. I hope you can find some support 💖
Yes.. it definitely is. Diagnostically they call this OSFED (which stands for otherwise specified feeding or eating disorder) which just means that our ED shape shifts and doesn't meet the criteria for only one ED. xoxo
@@Katimorton Thank you.
@@thestatusquoy Thank you.
Late middle school/early highschool I started starving myself. I remember the school showed us this video we all had to watch in the auditorium about the dangers of bulimia and I thought to myself "wow, what an easy way to lose weight" instead of being scared away like the film intended. I then began this cycle of starving for about 3 days before I got so hungry I caved. I would then binge like crazy, eating everything in sight and trying to hide the evidence from my parents. Then I would feel so guilty I would purge. That began a cycle of eating and purging until my throat would get so raw that I would eat normal without purging after. Then after a few days/weeks of that I would feel so guilty about all the food I let sit in my stomach that I would start starving again and the cycle continued.
At 17 I started dating my now fiance and i stopped starving and purging because i was finally happy. Unfortunately dating involved a lot of dinner dates and i think i started to associate the feeling of being happy because i was on a date with him, with the act of me eating food. Now i feel utterly addicted. It's been 8 years and i can't stop binging for more than a few weeks. I crave food constantly, even when i am so full it literally hurts. I can tell myself all day that I will control the urges and have a plan for healthier things to eat, but suddenly the doorbell rings and the delivery driver is standing in front of me with the 2 giant burritos i ordered ... it's like my rational brain shuts off and my fat brain takes over. I feel like I'm screaming from the bottom of a well when I'm trying to control my eating habits. Like I can hear myself but someone else is in control. I'm getting married in 58 days and I'm just hoping with all my might there is enough fabric to let out around my hips that I'll be able to sit down...
omg i need this!! i swear im addicted to food. candy is the first thing i reach for in the morning and if i wake up in the middle of the night i reach for candy then fall back asleep. next month i'll be 1 year clean from drugs, but since being clean i've really turned to eating. eating is soo comforting to me but i'm gaining soooo much wait, its bad 😔
I hope some of the tips and info I offered are helpful ❤️❤️
You're doing so well, though! Being clean is hard. One year is amazing! I hope things will get better with food, too.
I would really look into an Intuitive Eating Dietician and a therapist that is intuitive eating and possibly Health at Every Size informed!I hate that diet culture leads us to believe that we are addicted to food when it’s something that we REALLY need to live. Especially sugar which is so demonized! Also congrats on one year sober! That’s an amazing achievement
So proud of you!♡ you are beautiful! Apperciate all victories!
danndann: Omg! A co-worker can take a micro-bite of a Reeses & 'save the rest for later'. I hate him bad, girl I really do.
Not having triggering foods within arms reach works wonders. Just don't buy it and keep it in the house. Or don't bake something and expect to only have one piece. You can't eat it if it's not there!
what if i binge everytime i get invited to eat somewhere else? :((
@@shiiii6755 It's about discipline and self-respect. Be the person who cares enough for the only body you will ever have to realize that piece of cake or ice cream cone or whatever is only instant gratification. Here and gone in an instant. Your future health and avoidance of "age-related" diseases are so much more important. Cut down or eliminate carbs and sweets and you will have an immensely easier time at binge avoidance. Your hormones balance, the cravings disappear, you don't get hangry anymore, more energy, clearer thinking. And do something else for self-care- lift, yoga, meditation, walking outside. Once your body starts responding positively, you won't want to ruin the progress by binging and then starting back at square one.
I don't know why this just came up! I am depressed and have gained 12 pounds recently as a result of binge eating (punishing myself0 Just last night I had a innout at midnight. I am not motivated to watch (sorry) but this is the only conversation of my day.
Sometimes we have to lose control to gain control.
Just because you break one glass in the cupboard doesn't mean you throw the rest out.
Eat good on days you can.
I found this so helpful!!! Not just for me but for a lot of people I know who are stuck on the dieting - restrict then binge cycle. Thank you Katie!! ❤️
Not sucking and swallowing. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
This video came at the perfect time. My eating behaviors went downhill back when Covid began, and ever since I’ve been struggling to get it under control again. One of my goals for the summer is to get back into a healthy eating routine and nourish my body properly again. Thanks for all the tips!
I hopefully will be able study psychology in 2022/2023, and you know you are such a big rolemodel to me! You are just so kind and understanding♡, I really hope I will be that way!
Hope you’re studying psychology 📚 is going well!! 🙂
BPD, i hate you, leave me alone 😞
Literally want a divorce.
Thank you so much for highlighting the struggle with binge eating at night. I have a lot of shame around that. It was also really helpful to talk about the binge/restrict cycle. I find that so hard to get out of.
I totally understand!! I struggled with binge eating at night for SO LONG! You will get through it! I found Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Tapping and that's what helped me overcome binge eating. And really using that to heal the binge and restrict cycle
I’ve gained 9 lbs from binge eating in the span of 3 weeks. I was at such a healthy place in terms of sleep, nutrition, cooking and going to the gym. I let my social life eat into my study time, eat into my sleep time. No sleep is disastrous for me. I get *so* hungry and unable to feel full after no sleep.
How I’m going to stop binge-eating:
1. not going to where there’s food after my dinner. I don’t care if dishes aren’t done. I’d rather have dirty dishes in the morning than binge at night from the stress of doing all my dishes when I’m already depleted from school.
2. Homework on time so I sleep on time.
3. Cook & meal prep & continue to lots of fruits, vegetables and protein. It doesn’t matter if I binge; I still need to eat.
4. I want to stop watching RUclips videos when I’m binging. I love comedy. Next time, I’ll watch it in my room, outside of the kitchen and the basement, where the food is kept.
5. I’ll make sure to slow down when I eat my 3 main meals and not do other tasks. Lectures + eating, driving + eating, eating in a rush in the car before the gym, eating while watching videos or texting or scrolling on Instagram makes my body not recognize that I’m eating. So, mono-task eating.
Pray for me, y’all. By end of day tomorrow, success will be defined as day 1 of celebrating no binging.
Prayers sent!
“Get enough sleep” 👁👄👁 me with 3 young kids 🤣
My trouble are with food and binge eating but first time I've opened up my worst time to binge eat is in the night x
I am a therapist and Kati is always on point ✨
I have never really thought of getting a dietician for my eating disorder. I started with a therapist and never thought about seeing the two hand in hand
the curtains 💙
Yay!! They are our temp background until our furniture arrives 😬🤗😘
oh i thought u was saying dont match the drapes 😜
This is my biggest emotional crutch, to deal with my BPD. But now that I'm pregnant after 7years if trying I really want to learn to control the urges and "need" to binge! So this video came at the perfect time 😊
Yay!! Congratulations on the pregnancy!! And I hope some of my tips and ideas are helpful :) xoxo
Being pregnant really helped me not to binge eat. If I didn't have a small meals throughout the day I was extremely nauseous. Having small healthy snacks or unhealthy snacks throughout the day really helped me to not binge.
@@chelseygarrett4221 thank you I've had my baby now he came early and I gained absolutely nothing during my pregnancy ☺ he was kept in hospital though for 2 weeks and then this last for night he has been back in hospital so I've been binging a lot since his birth 11weeks ago and I've gained about a stone/14lbs 😢
@@nikkimcd26channel65 Awww, it's so hard - probably the sleep deprivation. Now that he's a year old, hopefully you can focus on getting that 7.5 hours a night that you need :)
Hiii Kati..u r literally the sweetest person I've seen! :)
Awe you’re the sweetest for taking the time to post such a kind comment 🥰🥰
@@Katimorton 🥰😊
Dunno why, but i burst into tears halway in the video. I’ve been trying to stop binge eating for a long time, and in my diet, i started binge eating. Because of my insecurity, i’m trying to stop myself to binging, but it always ends up bad. Im really glad i found this video.
I SO need to hear this right now. Thank you Katie!
I usually love your content, but as a therapist that has binge eating disorder… this is too simplistic. There are foods someone with an eating disorder should not eat. Each person should work closely with a sponsor from OA or their dietitian to determine “red light” foods that are taken out of rotation.
i mean.... i have to lose weight. so "stop dieting" is not rlly good advice :/
It's so hard to follow these or know how to because I have PCOS and am told I need to diet and stay away from "bad" food and to fast,ect.. then I get frustrated and end up binge eating:(
Discipline and self-respect. And avoiding carbs in the first place. Your body will thank you...
I spoke with a dietician with my dad for his diabetes and all she talked about was dieting and cutting out fatty foods and sugary foods, and carbs and limiting caloric intake. This all sounded contrary to eating disorder information and sounded unhealthy to me in the way she was telling him to restrict himself so extremely. He tried to eat how she said for a few weeks and then bam he started eating nothing but the foods she had told him to restrict, and refusing to eat the foods she had told him to eat. So to me it was just like when I have gotten into ED mindset and restrict then completely binge. Even though the appointment was for my dad I ended up internalizing the message she was giving. My brain began telling me again that I couldn't eat some things because they were "Bad" and that I must fill up on vegetables so I wouldn't eat any carbs, sugars or fats... needless to say my binging got worse. So are some dieticians just unaware of the correct information to help prevent or worsening ED? If the advice they give for a diabetic only ends up causing them to swing into disordered eating how is that helpful? This experience has caused me to not ever want to se a dietician for myself because I am so easily influenced into diet culture thinking and disordered thinking about food.
This was a great video with lots of good points. I find Binge Eating stems from things in our life that are negative.
Binge eating is a tough addiction to shift. Changing addictive behaviors is hard! If you're dealing with this, please be patient with yourself and reach out for help.
So I get we need to stop dieting but what if I still just don’t like the way I look and still need to lose weight? I am over weight but the fact that I need to stop dieting really really stresses me out
It's like she knows 🤔
Quick comment because I have problems sleeping so I decided to listen and watch the new kati video about binge eating honestly don't think I have or suffer from binge eating but I definitely have sleeping problems and I do sometimes still feel hungry even after haveing a meal sometimes I have breakfast and lunch then later in the day have dinner and some days I only eat 1 thing all day or I have days I just end up craving and wanting snacks and of food I can completely understand and relate to this video partly I eat more than usual on days my depression is very bad I know other people here will and can understand and relate to my comment thank you for the video s you share with us kati
I can't eat much I don't even eat a lot I am in flight or fight mode where it cptsd with anxiety I don't have any medication with what is going on I am dealing with it I walk and my medication was taken away
I don't have a problem with binge eating, but rather binge drinking (water). I just get so thirsty!
Check ur blood glucose levels . Hyper thirty can be sign .
Go see a doctor or can be diabetes or maybe even the thyroid.
Can you make a video about emotional eating? I compensate exhaustion and depressed feelings with food
I'm trying to cope with my disorder. I have never not been obsessed with food. My whole life, I have eaten and then gone to sneak more food. Binges are very difficult for me when I'm alone. For the first time in my life, I opened up to my husband about it. It's embarrassing and tough to talk about. Even now I feel ashamed but I'm finally trying to face my disorder. Thank you for the help.
I feel you l am in my mid forties and it seem food is in the back of my mind ALLthe time. I had a lot of trauma surrounding food growing up with my parents especially my father. I have tod my doctor some of the things l went through and they were just in complete shock l was seriously denied food growing up. I was a very large when l was born. And all through my life. I never understood the interest of drugs smoking or alcohol growing up. Butvyou put dessert in front of me then l am totally out of control. Never in my life could l possibly understood how people chose drugs ,drinking or smoking ove a delicious cake or icecream. If l can't get the food l want and it stresses me do l often self harm or to stop myself thinking about the food. It's ABSOLUTELY horrendous
It's hard to stop. When I control for too long i rebounded bad. I can eat from 1pm to 6/7pm in one of those days. Doesn't help that I've developed diabetes due to inactivity (dysthymia, hikikomori)
my anti-depressant medicine that helps sleep, increases my appetite 😔 but I try to eat fruit when the cravings come!
However, I think replacing refined sugars with fruits is better idea. And healthy-wise binge eating on fruits less detrimental, than binging on sweets or chocolate. Especially with those sugary snacks that are filled with additional fat and salt.
Does it matter if someone binges on fruit and almond butter or on ice cream and cookies? A binge is a binge and they all revolve around carbs. It's about discipline and self-respect. And avoiding carbs in the first place. Your body will thank you...
Wouldn’t that raise up our insulin after eating every 4 hours?
I binge eat on the way home after work and feel the need to hide it from my wife. I hate myself and am so embarrassed immediately after. I hate myself for being so weak.
Anyone wish there wasn’t an advert for Subway at the start of this video?
I have quiet BPD and had neglectful parents. I was very overweight as a child and didn't know how to lose weight so I just stopped eating. I had a binge/restrict relationship with food for years. Since having kids I've stopped the restricting and just been constantly binging, I comfort eat and I need comfort ALOT. I am more emotionally hungry than physically. My quiet BPD is so bad and I have chronic pain everyday and 2 young kids and my husband works all the time and I have no friends, all I have is food :(
Where do you live? If you have no friends, that's so hard on you. You will meet moms if you go to the park or library story time and chat up every mom you see, with no expectations, just think about making their life more pleasant with a nice conversation, and you'd be surprised how many friends you'll meet when you have no expectations from anyone! I used to be pretty introverted before kids, but when my oldest was 8 months old, after my friends insisted I get out of the house, thank God I did, it changed everything. I just happened to be listening to podcasts where it clicked, how to get out of my own way and just focus on loving people without needing anything back from them. I constantly asked people for playdates, meeting at a park, usually I'd text everyone I knew (all moms with kids the same age, that is), and now I have amazing friends from that and really must say am much happier being extroverted. I hope that helps! It's very comforting just being able to get those adult conversations especially with other moms in the same boat!
An evening alone can be long. Sometimes it feels like I would go crazy if I don't get something to chew on. Biscuits, peanuts, candy or whatever.

watching this while eating 1/2 bag of m&m's. :/
thank you. after seven years of suffering from binge ed, I'm finally diagnosed with Adhd, depression and anxiety. and “helping myself” never felt better. i carefully follow tips. im done with diet culture aftet seven years of my life, thinking about it every single day. and ive never felt more healthier, happier and in shape. i eat my healthy meals, i have my favorite snacks and haven’t binge on them since i’ve followed these methods. im finally relieved.
I was just about to go and buy myself a packet of cupcakes. While watching this video I realized that I actually haven't eaten since 10 o clock this morning (it's currently 8pm where I live). I've made myself a sandwich instead. I really need to start meal prepping because as much as I love to eat, I either overdo it to the extreme or completely forget to eat altogether. I had no idea it was this bad until now. Thank you for the video:)
I was about to binge and this video came up and stopped me in my tracks. Thank you!
I’m always binge eating and I feel horrible about myself after. I start to think and count all the bad things I ate and then hate myself at the end. I start looking at myself in the mirror and see that my belly has grown all in one day
I am autistic and have always had big struggles with binge eating. The only way I can keep myself from binging is shopping daily for my food. I also find it overwhelming to have food in my cupboards is another reason. I have found a way that works for me at last.
I feel binge eating it should be defined as "Eating more then you would eat in a normal "happy" day". The individual matter. We all have different eating patterns, schedules, diets. Eating more then hunger or a simple desire asks for. Binge eating is, after all, triggered by negative emotions and/or experiences.
Me eating while watching to stop binge eating lol 🌝😂
How did you know I've been trying to stop binging for this past year? 😅
1:26 that makes so much sense!!! I don't know about anyone else but after a good cry and you have a sip of something, a drink of water or tea for example it's kind of like a breath of air in how it somehow calms you down - my mind 🤯 blown because the logic seems common sense!
Would you consider WW a diet? No foods are restricted, necessarily. But I struggle with binge eating at times.
You help me so much to diagnose what I'm going through ... That is so helpful... I'm struggling with depression or anxiety about a year... I wish i discuss my life with you so i can get a good therapy. Love u ❤️
Hi Katie, is there any connection between ADHD (particularly untreated) and binge eating?
I'm so tired of having binge eating disorder. I want to get off this roller coaster.

For the next video can you do how stop eating less?
1:55 interesting. My dad is emotionally neglectful. He was never abusive though.
I was in a cycle of binge eating until I felt numb and then eating nothing for the next few days because I felt ashemed of myself. It is really hard for me to look in the mirror without cyring. I will try my best to stop and get to my ideal weight. I hope all of you will do it too!
I think I need a video on' how to stop binge watching?'
Excellent. I'm 55 and have been dieting since the 4th grade. I've lost over 100lbs twice. I'm over all of it. All the exercising all the restricting all the safe food bad food. I'm done with all of it. If I'm craving something. There's a reason. I can eat anything reasonably
I woke out on a consistent basis but can’t lose weight because of this. My problem is not eating when I’m busy during the day then I binge eat right before I go to bed which is the worst. It’s been a habit for years.
Kati, this was the most helpful video you’ve ever made for me :’) thank you for talking about “healthy” foods and weight gain the way you do because it really makes me feel like someone understands
I binge eating broccoli, is that right?
I used to binge and thought it was because I had some deep dark psychological problem. Turned out I was binging because I was starving myself for years with orthorexia. Once I added back carbs and started eating a balanced diet the binges stopped. That was back in 2011 and I have since found out that the evidence based treatment for BED according to science is to stop restricting. Love to everyone.
solutions start at min 5:30
Thx! With 15 years passed now in therapy, OA 12 step, journaling I have felt the need pf a binge stronger and stronger. This educational video taught a few things I've never been aware of. Like restricting with a bland, low cal meals will accumulate having the body crave that flavorful, aromatic meal leading to a binge. Plus talking, talking, listening to others about it hasn't helped but rather has fortified the want of binge eating in me; I think my shame cycle has escalated in OA meetings listening to victimized women, when this man faces life hurts but apparently a man has no comparative right to healing as women in this particular day and age - as this one group of 4 women screamed at me several years ago. I buried my head in isolation in 2017. Just coming out and breathing free and light again. Anywho I appreciate this balanced, honest insightful talk about binge eating.
it’s 03.46AM here and suddenly i just ate 4 bowls of rice and desserts… thanks for the video❤️🩹
I had a binge today too :/

Thank you so much for your videos, Kati! ❤
Near the beginning when you mentioned that both eating and drinking activate the same thing explains why I sometimes tell myself, "aye man don't stress eat, your just thirsty" i drink water and most of the time I'm good to go and feel hydrated
Edit: I made this comment before I seen 4 😂😂
I've struggled with binge eating for many years, to the point of gluttony. Is there anything that can help with food noise & OCD intrusive thoughts? I struggle with thinking about food 24/7 and fear that I'm eating myself to death. I just started therapy and hoping to see some positive change. In my area, central Illinois, there is not much help or resources for people with eating disorders.
I've got a fear of choking (I choked when i was little and my aunt saved me) and now puree everything, what sort of therapy would you recommend to overcome my phobia? Thanks
Interesting topic
You eat nothing solid?
How is your gut?
I'd would start with one simple thing, you think you can eat and not puree it. And eat like that for maybe a month. Then next month you start with 2 things you don't puree. And so on.
That sounds like ARFID. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone who can help.
I really like watching your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Could you do a video on celibacy? What is the psychological community's view on celibacy? Do they consider it to be a form of deprivation? I am trying to be celibate for religious reasons and am finding it challenging.
How can nobody in this comment section have some self-disciplne? It only requires you to say NO. A simple word. The average ignore - DON'T BE AVERAGE!
I'm a emotional eater
I've always binged and a month ago I also started cutting my skin. I'm trying to stop both. I want to get better, I want to feel happy :)

Actually, beeing in 2024, I found pandemic lockdown so safe, that I lost weight… that came back when I started working out and meeting people again… 😢
I have hs food issues as back as I can remember, even before I start school at 6,I even knew back then I was not really hungry, but wanted food,I have no.idea what I was feeling,I would eat till.i made myself sick,my mother at 1 point placed a lockman cupboard and the fridge,to keep me put of it,sweets were alway a bad thing for me I never could just have a couple of anything had to eat till.i was gone.
I found much later in life I do have ADD.now hear there is a connection between, back in the 50,60,70,no one even heard off ADD.
Where I live there are no counciler that specialize in food adfiction,i have called everyplace in my area.reg theripest have no.idea when I try talking about it with them,they offer reg ideas that do not work.they have no idea what I am telling them.they just dont get it.been a yoyo for years take it off gain it back.
I will eat things that I dont even really like.idk just defeated. Older now,still.trying to get control.thanks for listening
I’m a new mom and my sleep is all messed up . I really think is my trigger, I just hope it gets better
If you were over eating food it probably means that you are restricting certain food groups or ingredients. You may feel deprived and so when you get the opportunity you end up over eating to overcompensate for all of the under eating and restriction. The body does not like to be deprived of food and will rebel if you try to starve yourself
I believe traditionally trained dietitians are not always helpful. For instance for years they have recommended too many carbs for many diabetics. They still promote low fat diets using the falsified data from the 1960’s, low fat diets promote hunger and thus overeating on bad carbs. They have a one diet fits all approach. If one BP med or one antidepressant or one chemo drug doesn’t work on everyone, why would the scientists believe that one diet works for everyone, when there is so much obvious genetic variability amongst people’s metabolisms and how they put on or lose weight? So please don’t require every patient see a dietitian.
That being said, I like your therapist take on how to approach BED.
I wish we wouldn’t leave out the fact that highly processed foods hijack and mess up your hunger cues. I’m not saying cut them out-then you just feel left out and binging happens. But you also can’t totally trust hunger around them if you didn’t sufficiently mitigate them with protein and fiber (which you do mention, but not specifically enough) and even then if the amount is too high even the extra protein and fiber doesn’t catch the imbalance. It’s ok to be aware of how this stuff affects you without demonizing it-but we pretend it’s the same as other food for how it makes you feel and it’s just not. Even devoid of the fiber and protein it isn’t just normal food. It’s engineered to be addictive. It is seriously unfair and the reason binging is so common. Most people just cannot binge Whole Foods. We just need to be aware.
Kati, I'm not sure if I'm a binge eater. When I was young, and again now after leaving my abusive husband, I live way below the poverty line. When I was still living with my parents, my mother wouldn't let me eat as part of her "punishments", and right now, even though I have food stamps, my anxiety disorder makes it almost impossible to leave my apartment, never mind go to the grocery store (I know so many people were distressed about the lockdown orders for Covid, I personally was thrilled that I couldn't leave my house). So I find when I do have food I feel like I eat a lot. So is this binge eating or something else like my body trying to restore proper vitamin and mineral levels after being without? Please respond 🙏
