How do I stop binging?

You're depressed and/or you don't cope with stress well.

Stop being so focused on food and get entertaining hobbies (that doesn't include video games or watching netflix)

That's basically it.


t. ex-binger, haven't binged in years.

There's a book called Brain Over Binge that should help. Make sure you deal with the emotional issues causing you to binge or you'll just replace one vice with another.

its ur brain, fix ur problems in life

You need to shave back your calories but probably not as much as you are doing. Really give it a go counting calories, don't drop them too low.

Also you are your last hope, not a bunch of people on a website that could careless.

Do it for yourself, imagine looking back on medical school not being in shape?

It feels like you all addressed my main problems pretty accurately. Gonna check this stuff out, thanks.

I am not bulimic or anything to be clear, I just cant stop eating from time to time.

I used to binge eat due to school stress. What helped me was drinking more water, or tea when I wanted to eat something when I shouldnt. Also pounding coke zeros are way better than eatting desserts.

Finally, for the love of god do not start smoking or turn to alcohol to manage stress.

PsyD here.

You are allowing certain buttons that trigger that response.

You need to rewire the response to something better/healthier.

Go for a walk, do pushups, crunches, go sprint, go pound glasses of water make that the response you take to stop.

Get some L-glutanine, that is a cravings curber, it's pretty effective you'll find, just take as many as you need.

It comes in capsules or powder/mix, and you can find it for sure at GNC, not very pricey at all either.

So I take it you didn't actually read that book because it preaches the exact opposite of "people overeat due to emotional issues"

When you diet, your body thinks food is scarce. When you eat, the brain tells you to eat as much as you can because it doesn't know when it will get to eat again.

Next time you go to binge, just remember you will get to satisfy your hunger at your next meal and that food isn't a scarcity for you
