In this episode, discover four strategies to lower the glucose spike after eating your favourite binge foods and subsequently lower the dopamine release in the reward center in your brain associated with eating these foods.

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.

Why do you binge more before your period

It is not uncommon for women to experience an increase in appetite or to engage in binge eating behavior before their period.
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.

Binge eating recovery without therapy and coaching

It is challenging to recover from an eating disorder. But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible – so many people all around have been able to recover from their eating disorder. You may find it surprising, but the rates of “spontaneous recovery” (overcoming an eating disorder without professional treatment or formal help) are relatively high for people struggling with binge eating.
In case you feel hopeless and helpless, in today’s episode, I want to remind you that it’s possible for you to make a full recovery despite not having received professional treatment.

Why do you desire slim body? [Mimetic desire]

Many people will choose weight loss as a New Year's resolution.
Why do we so desperately desire weight loss?
Have you ever questioned whether the body aesthetics you pursue might be influenced by outside factors that have nothing to do with you?⁠
Ever considered that your goal to build an amazing butt isn’t authentically yours...but someone or something else's?
Ever considered that you aren't being fully responsible for choosing to diet?
Or that your “body goal” only mimics the desire of the culture around you?
 
French social scientist, René Gérard calls this "Mimetic Desire", the theory that you unconsciously mimic the desires of others. We often want things because others have them or want them. Usually, we don’t “desire” anything without outside influence.⁠
 
In today’s podcast episode I want to share with you how mimetic desire, in a sense, is responsible for the formation of our negative body image and disordered eating behaviours. I’m also going to mention a research study conducted in Fiji that shows how being exposed to Western shows influenced the incidence of eating disorders amongst Fijian females.
This episode encourages self-reflection by showing you that our desires don’t come from within; rather, we mimic what other people want. However, just because you are not the sole author of your desires, that doesn’t mean you can’t begin to take ownership of them.

Food intolerances and binge eating

What to do when you have food intolerances and Binge Eating Disorder?
Eliminating food groups from your diet should be the last thing you do if you want to recover from an eating disorder. But, what if it’s medically necessary? Well, this can be tricky, especially because it’s common for eating disorder patients to have self-reported or improperly diagnosed allergies or intolerances.
Want to hear my take on what to do when food allergies & eating disorders collide?
Tune in to today’s podcast episode, where I’ll discuss:
how eliminating certain foods from my diet helped with my acne
my suspicion that I have non-coeliac gluten/wheat sensitivity
how I navigate gluten-free diet
how to not feel deprived on an elimination diet
differences between food allergy, food intolerance, and food sensitivity
food intolerance testing quackery
the best way to detect food intolerance or food sensitivity
the biggest quack who spreads pseudoscience

How to avoid Last Supper Syndrome

Tell me if this is you:
You stuff yourself all weekend long in preparation for Monday because starting Monday you’re going to be “good”
You overeat every night because you keep telling yourself “I’ll be good tomorrow”
You finish all the chips, cookies, candies, and ice cream in your house to prepare yourself for Monday time to be “good”
Essentially, you’re thinking: “I am going to eat this now since I’m not going to be able to have this in the future."
This well-known phenomenon is often referred to as the Last Supper Effect or Syndrome. You've likely experienced this before starting a new diet, because who knows when you'll be able to enjoy all those off-limits foods again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Last Supper Effect is where you indulge and overeat when anticipating a period of dietary restriction.
In today’s podcast episode I want to share with you how even the anticipation of restriction can lead to an increased impulse to over-consume that food, often alongside feelings of lack of control. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
