How to stop Binging

My favorite and cute PT Jennifer DiDonato shares her secrets to stop binging.

I guess the key to life is your outlook on life which is either you “eat to live” or “live to eat”.

Binge eating is a pattern of disordered eating which consists of episodes of uncontrollable eating.

It is sometimes as a symptom of binge eating disorder.

During such binges, a person rapidly consumes an excessive amount of food.

Most people who have eating binges try to hide this behaviour from others, and often feel ashamed about being fat or depressed about their overeating.

Eating binges can be followed by so-called compensatory behaviour, acts by which the person tries to compensate for the effects of overeating.

Examples of such acts are purging (induced vomiting or laxative abuse), fasting, and heavy exercising.

Although people who do not have any eating disorder may occasionally experience episodes of overeating, frequent binge eating is often a symptom of an eating disorder.

Binge eating is a central feature of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. It is also practiced by some people with an eating disorder not otherwise specified or anorexia nervosa.

Jennifer DiDonato says:

When we purposely avoid food the day of (or days leading up to) a “bad” meal, we train our metabolism to temporarily slow down. The more frequently this happens, the more likely it will add up as excess fat.

That’s why in this week’s Made Fit TV episode, I explain why it’s good to eat when you want to be a little naughty with your nutrition. I show you certain foods that work for your body (and not against it), allowing you to have your cake and eat it, too!
