STOP RESTRICTING YOURSELF<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cause of a binge is restricting yourself and the foods you eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t starve yourself or restrict yourself. Starving is not a healthy way to lose weight anyway, but especially since it can trigger you to binge.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you know that you definitely can\u2019t live without something, then don\u2019t! Just make sure it\u2019s all in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best principles to stick to when eating is the 80-20 principle. This means eating healthy food 80% of the time and letting yourself indulge the rest of the time (in moderation of course!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is restricted and you don&#8217;t consider any food bad or forbidden! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/why-i-follow-the-80-20-rule-healthy-eating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED POST: Why I Follow the 80-20 Rule<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. DISTRACT YOURSELF<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel like you are about to binge, do something to distract yourself. Simple things such as going for a shower and brushing your teeth, or going for a walk can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also try to distract yourself with some of your hobbies, read a book, watch a show, be creative or do sports. Focus on the positives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself-1024x759.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself-1024x759.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself-228x169.png 228w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/distract-yourself.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. TALK TO SOMEONE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to someone about your problems. It is always beneficial to have someone or several people around you to provide support and distract you in those times when you need it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good support system will take you a long way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. RECOGNISE THE CAUSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Binge eating is usually a response to something emotional or a situation that you have found yourself in, rather than hunger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify what this is and do everything possible to prevent yourself from being in this situation again. For example, if it happens when you are home alone (most likely), then if you know you are going to be home alone, try to plan to go out or even have a friend over!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. ORGANIZE YOUR KITCHEN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know a certain food can trigger you into a binge, then make sure to throw it out of your kitchen and house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have it ready at hand, it will already be more difficult to binge eat. Try to clear out processed foods (snacks like chips, sweets, etc.) and instead stock healthy options (fruits, nuts, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/how-to-have-a-healthy-relationship-with-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED POST: How to Have a Healthy Relationship with Food<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please please please seek professional advice if you cannot overcome this on your own. It is nothing to be ashamed about and is more common than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many forms of treatment that can help you, all you need to do is reach out to a professional!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope that this advice is helpful and you can overcome binge eating! But if it happens to you, don\u2019t beat yourself up about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously, it happens to EVERYONE. The best thing you can do is accept it happened, recover and learn from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s some tips we have that can help you recover from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HOW TO RECOVER FROM A BINGE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. DRINK LOTS OF WATER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the few hours after your binge: drink plenty of water! When you think you\u2019ve had enough, drink some more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatthis.com\/how-to-overcome-a-binge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Water<\/a> will help you feel sated and it also can help you with digestion and bloating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. GET ENOUGH SLEEP <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a good night&#8217;s sleep in is a great way to avoid cravings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not getting enough sleep causes an increase of ghrelin, the peptide that tells you you are hungry. This can lead to increased hunger and cravings, especially towards sugary carbs and high-fat foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of sleep also affects your mental health, which can then lead to binge eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep-1024x759.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep-1024x759.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep-228x169.png 228w, https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/get-enough-sleep.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. GO FOR A WALK<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercising first thing in the morning will make you feel fantastic, but it will also help you make better food choices during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/9973590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walking<\/a> will help you feel better both physically and mentally. It can burn the extra calories you ingested during the binge and it has also been shown to improve your mood and reduce stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. EAT BREAKFAST<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve had a great workout, now it\u2019s time to have a delicious and healthy breakfast. You can start your day off with healthy foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is absolutely no need to starve yourself, even if you feel that you need to, to make up for the supposed damage. Eat normally and healthily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to stick to 3 meals and 2 snacks, and make them healthy options. Pick foods that are high in protein and fiber since they increase the feeling of fullness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelattard.com\/clean-eating-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED POST: Clean Eating Guidelines for Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
