Overeating

A couple things going on here: first, tobacco is an appetite suppressant. It's entirely normal for people to eat more and gain weight after they quit smoking. You definitely have to get that under control, but at least you can understand why it's happening

Second, everybody needs a "vice," some kind of reward or treat you can give yourself. You've given up one, and replaced it with another. You can't destroy this part of your personality, but you can try to find a "reward" that won't destroy your health

do the ketogenic diet, it suppresses the appetite.
do it for a few months, it will also stop your addiction to sugar as well. Meaning the cravings for it go away.

Try eating foods that have more fiber in them, you'll feel more full. I'd also eat less carbs and more fat & protein. Myfitnesspal is a great app for this, log your food intake and you'll receive a chart detailing your nutrition.

i just looked that up

seems like a tough thing to do, especially since i eat mostly carbs..


I was thinking of becoming vegan as well, do you reckon i can do both?

Thats totally fine. have you transitioned into other diet before?

What food are you eating currently?

Simple carbs turn into sugar and sugar addiction is pretty real. This has an effect on switching to another diet. Ive been doing keto for 5 months now. Ive learned to cook veggies well and now there my favorite.

If your going to do any diet start with a low sugar diet. And start cooking or trying more veggies. By reducing your sugar, your sweetness level goes down making broccoli taste sweet and fruit even sweeter.

its pretty crazy when it happens, i would know.

vegan keto is pretty limiting. You would mostly eat avocado, olive oil and cocunt oil and your main fats. Your main veggies are any leafy greens, cauliflower, squash, broccoli, asparagus and Brussels sprouts.

Do you want me to give you a run down on how keto works? and its affects?

work out to burn the calories and also produce endorphins to help keep you from feeling the urge to smoke as well.

eventually you'll go back to a more normal appetite and can then tune your diet and workout regimen to give you actual results instead of being largely a break even proposition.

A big part of your binge eating behavior likely lies in how you think of food overall. There could be something funky going on with your metabolism, but it would be wise to approach the problem by restructuring your thoughts about eating, which would be best handled by seeing a psychological therapist who specializes in eating disorders. Simply changing your dietary choices will not change the way you conceive of food in a meaningful way, and it is very likely that your distress and dysfunction surrounding eating will continue if you don't seek a therapist.
