Are you compulsive (with food)? Great!

In this episode, I explore the idea of turning vices into virtues. I discuss how certain traits or tendencies associated with binge eating (like compulsivity, laziness, and lack of consistency) can be channeled into more positive behaviors.
We don't need to change our personality traits, we can use them to our advantage.

How I stopped eating junk food for 2,5 years

In this episode, I dive into my personal journey of giving up ultra-processed foods for over two and a half years. I address the misconceptions about labeling food as 'junk' and why it's essential to avoid assigning morality to what we eat.
 
I share how my journey began in 2013 when I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle for health, ethical, and environmental reasons. I eliminated processed foods from my diet. I discuss the factors that helped me succeed, including moving away from discomfort, aligning with my values, and witnessing positive changes like clear skin and weight loss.
 
I also opened up about how I was influenced and, at times, 'brainwashed' by online health influencers who advocated for a specific lifestyle. This led me to follow their advice without questioning, which eventually impacted my life negatively.
 
I touch upon how I ultimately stopped my strict dietary regimen due to health concerns, financial factors, and personal circumstances. I provide insights into what helped me stay on track and the importance of paying attention to your body's feedback.
 
Tune in to learn more about my journey, the lessons I've learned, and why critical thinking is essential in making informed choices about your health and lifestyle.

Why am I so stupid to binge on sugar?

Did you know that when you pose a question, your brain, for a brief moment, will focus its resources solely on answering that question? This is a mental reflex called 'instinctive elaboration'.
If you find yourself asking low-quality questions such as:
“Why do I have no self-control when it comes to food?”,
“Why is intuitive eating working for everyone, but not me?”,
“Why am I still struggling with binge eating despite my best efforts to stop?”;
your brain will seek answers to these questions.
These answers don’t help you, don’t serve you, and don’t put you in the right mindset.
The higher quality the question, the higher quality the answer will be, so instead of asking yourself low-quality questions, ask high-quality, empowering questions that support you in a positive way. Let your brain come up with creative and motivating replies, that will create an emotion that inspires you to take action.
This week, I will explain how to start asking the right questions that will guide your eating disorder recovery in the direction of real food freedom.

Do you have to control your Inner Pig?

“Never Binge Again” by Dr. Glenn Livingston is a book that asks you to label all thoughts demanding excess food as "the pig" (or whatever deprecating term you prefer). It's a straightforward approach that gives you no excuses. This book appeals to people who are fans of a little tough love. But isn’t there already enough self-loathing and blaming that comes with binge eating, so we don’t need extra?
In today’s podcast episode, I’m going to discuss why I personally dislike the Never Binge Again(TM) Method to stop binge eating.

Cravings are a normal part of the menstrual cycle and it is okay to give into them, but for people who struggle with an eating disorder, engaging in binge eating behavior, or consistently overeating, can have negative effects on physical and mental health.
If you turn to food for comfort or to cope with the emotional symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings or irritability, listen to today’s show.
In this episode, I’m going to share with you 3 main reasons for an increase in appetite in the luteal phase of your cycle and how to tame your desire to eat more.
