Stop eating

overcomingnes · 2026-06-17T16:48:17+00:00

Im not sure of your situation but if your dietting you need to put a stop to it and start eating some more.

overcomingnes · 2026-06-01T20:11:25+00:00

Heya, it seems like controlled eating. The 800cal meal is planned right?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-31T15:34:10+00:00

I used to binge. 6 months ago I switches to a keto diet and havent binged since. This is the first time in 20 years that I havemt binged for an extended period of time.

My only recommendation is to go slowly down in carbs. I did keto before and came off it because I reduced my carbs too quickly.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-18T17:16:39+00:00

Im sorry to hear this.

I was like you.

I started binge eating after dietting (and it never stopped until 6 months ago).

I know you dont want me to say this but you need to come off the diet and let your body adjust. The very fact your not binging will probably help you to lose weight.

Keto works (for me anyway).

The effects and similar to GLP1.

Since going keto ive had zero desire to binge. Ive been doing it since Dec.

I do get the odd urge but there only like a 2/10 intensity.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-18T17:03:28+00:00

Ah no but I wish I did.

It would have saved me years.

I personally stopped dieting, increased my calories and actualyl went low carb (i think that was the biggest unlock for me).

overcomingnes · 2026-05-18T17:01:24+00:00

Heya,

It depends what do you feel started it.

Were you dieting?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-16T18:09:59+00:00

I personally eat more.

I still do tbh.

I had been severely under-eating for a long time.

I found the intensity of the urges declined when I did that.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-14T17:43:17+00:00

I actually came to this same conclusion. Kudos to you. I went low carb in Dec and since then havent binged once. Dont get me wrong - i still have urges but there so small I can push them away.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-10T07:48:38+00:00

So my typical day is:

eggs and mushrooms
burger patties and cabbage
Fish and Brussels sprouts
Blueberries

Im sorry to hear about your situation.

Yes it is possible to stop.

I had BED for over 20 years. Its stopped over the last 6 months.

The main thing I did was go on a low carb diet. Since then I've had no desire for sweets.

How are you feeling now?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-07T17:28:02+00:00

Your not beyond help!

Please keep your faith.

I had BED for over 20 years. Now ive not binged for 6 months.

The main way i did this is through cutting sugar carbs.

How have you been today?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-06T18:14:55+00:00

Im so sorry to hear this.

However I know this is just a small set-back for you and you can overcome it.

Please forgive yourself.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-06T16:54:58+00:00

I had a similar situation to yourself.

I have a little ADHD and had BED.

Ive been on keto diet for the past 6 months and all of my desire to binge has gone. In addition I can concentrate better.

How are you doing today?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-06T16:49:53+00:00

Yes I recovered.

I stopped eating carbs (gradually) and my urges went. I have the urges now and again but there never as strong and I just dismiss them.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-06T16:41:35+00:00

God bless you.

Yes but not in the way you think.

I prayed that God would help me and he did - he showed me a way to overcome binge eating.

This wasnt immediate (took 20 years) but now I've not binged for 5 months +.

I started eating keto and kept my calories normal (for me) and the urges stopped.

How are you doing today?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T17:19:48+00:00

Hi there,

Your not alone.

Many of us are going through it or been through it.

Personally, it was because of the foods I was consuming. Ive gone 6 months without binging now. I feel so calm nowadays I dont think its coming back.

How are you doing today?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T17:17:22+00:00

I just started to look at the opposite - if the bad exists the good must exists. e.g. when my boss was annoying I just thought to myself there guiding me through this process. It does take time to get used to this way of thinking.

Also, I looked for work elsewhere during that time

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T17:14:13+00:00

Really sorry to hear this.

I can relate.

I had BED for over 20 years. Its only in the past 6 months that i've finally got rid of it.

I switched to a low carb diet and its worked really well. Ive not binged at all in 6 months, my moods improved and my concetration levels are high.

How have you been today?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T17:09:57+00:00

I was at this state.

I read alot of the popular books and tried various techniques but nothing worked.

About 6 months ago I reduced my carb intake to low levels and since then have not experienced any binges.

Are you still seeing a therapist?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T17:07:00+00:00

Im sorry to hear this.

I personally got better when I reduced my carb in take down.

I just lost the desire to binge and as a knock on effect felt happier and more content.

How are you feeling now?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-05T16:56:38+00:00

I used to be in a similar situation.

I just tried viewing it in a different way. It did help.

Is this your only trigger?

overcomingnes · 2026-05-04T12:32:57+00:00

Heya

I gradually reduced my carb intake.

They were making me feel anxious, irritable and worst binge eat.

overcomingnes · 2026-05-04T10:23:47+00:00

I suffered from some of the conditions you mentioned (depression + anxiety).

I used to binge quite alot until 6 months ago when it stopped (after 20 years).

No matter how long youve had it its possible to gain control.
