Are you a recent grad, it is common to develop this in college.
No I’m in my early 30s
I developed it in college, basically you want to eat less calorie dense foods, like soup, salad and smoothies. It will make you feel full faster and even though you will eat more, there will be less calories. Idk much, this is what a dietician told me. I am trying it and failing at it often.
Have suffered greatly from this and still struggle. Best thing I can say is make sure your children practice moderation when it comes to eating.
I don’t have children ...
I mean if/when you do have children.
Eat less? Order smaller portions and buy less food?
This is flawed thinking, you can’t just suddenly eat less, your body will resist. You need to eat food with lesser calories although the amount maybe more. This will give your body a false sense of being full. Starving never works from what I have tried.
I didn't say starve just said eat less. Most people overeat becasue they assume the massive palate a cheap restaurant serves is one meal. Split it into two and your are done.
True, but not quite that easy...binge eating works like a proper addiction for many people, so it is not as simple as just telling them to eat less.
Agreed, I know I should eat less but my will power only works sometimes and never lasts. It’s like telling a coke addict to just stop sniffing coke. If only it was that easy!
Exactly people on this app are Fucking demented
There are a couple things you can try. #0 don't use food for entertainment. Buy video games or travel for fun. Not food. #1 keep some of the food to enjoy later. One of the primary reasons for binge eating is to eat all of the good stuff in front of you. Like a full bucket from KFC. This worked for me to get started on trying moderation. I used to go back at it and finish 3 hours later, but I would walk or do some other shit in between. # 2 Try using chopsticks or a fork to eat slower. The combination of 1 and 2 will get you started on moderation at one sitting.
How long did it take to eat in moderation all the time and adopt regularly eating in less portions.
I would say about a year and half or so. But this was more mental change than I imagined. I picked up travel as my primary hobby, reading about it and watching travel vlogs took some time away from wholly focusing on finding the next white Castle and ordering a dozen burgers 😁.
Skip breakfast everyday, have your last meal of the day no later than 8pm. Doing this everyday has really regulated my eating and hunger.
Another thing I do recommend is to find stuff that's more premium that you really can't binge on. Something like a coffee at a premium coffee shop with a pastry mentally satiates you more than a 3 Lb California burrito from the hole in the wall Mexican joint for breakfast.
I or anyone here cannot give you any info which you already don’t know. the real answer which is frustrating to hear is “ just stop binge eating” but you have already tried that a million times with no luck! the trick here is “ darkness cannot kill darkness, light does” so stop trying to fight your binge eating. instead add to it, no not adding more food :). add physical activity( preferably in the morning) not much just an hour of yoga( NOT IN YIUUR APARTMENT, go to yoga classes)/ swimming. again the goal here is not to get ripped, the goal is to do it consistently WITHOUT GETTING INJURED, so be gentle with your workout. And don’t think of trying to stop binge eating. adding this 1 hr morning routine will eventually( May be after 1-2-6 months) in increments of hours/days will make your binge eating obsolete!
Is very simple. Buy natural. Anything that has high fructose corn syrup don't eat. Anything you can't at all understand the ingredients don't drink/eat. As the other person said try to seek something really quality and enjoy that. Its gonna cost more but that 1. Also will stop you from wanting to buy more 2. Will taste really good so you will feel good for longer 3. Won't have any additives that will make you want to binge 4. Will actually contain nutrients so your body will naturally say "k enough, go do something else"
