Look out for episode 2 out of 3 to be released in your email box tomorrow to learn the binge triggers and why your hunger hormones are ‘broken’ and causing you to binge eat
Very insightful. I understand the aim should be gentle refeed after months of deprivation. But what to do if one can’t achieve gentle refeed as even when starting back to eat regular meals the urge is there to significantly overeat on all those foods that were previously restricted like chips, pizzas, ice creams and chocolate bars?
Hi Asal, great question! I understand it can be quite difficult to try to introduce foods without overeating on your binge foods so the first thing I would recommend is to ensure you are physically full by keeping yourself at a 7 or 8 out of 10 full – comfortably full. You can do this by having breakfast lunch dinner with snacks in between. Then once you have established practicing comfortable fullness, then you can include your binge foods into these meals or as desserts for satisfaction. The key is the be full AND satisfied in binge eating recovery. You’re much less likely to over eat on these binge foods if you are comfortably full. But I explain this much more in the further webinars 🙂
