Cure Binge Eating Disorder by Making a Small Change to Your Diet

Is it their even a cure? What would be the treatment? What should I eat?

I am going to answer all of these questions with focus on the proper way to eat.

Is it possible? Yes! in fact everyday I read,hear, or am emailed from one of my clients that tell me about major progress and or them defeating "Binge Eating Disorder".

The Treatment-From a diet stand point the first thing to recognize is that we overeat "junk"! In fact the truth is we waste our calories on poorly nutrient dense foods like ice cream, cookies,cakes, and chips. These foods raise sugar level which cause the addictions and low energy levels!

The Cure- So if you have to consume these large meals to feel satisfied try more nutrient dense, natural foods like green veggies, pizza, and other balanced meals.

The Perfect Diet-

As a nutritionist I teach balance meals. Think of food as a source of energy first and a treat second.

Take a look at one of my student's food log who's been suffering "binge eating disorder":

Breakfast: 3 Pancakes,8oz OJ, (Syrup and butter)

snacks: 2 Yogurt cups (one per snack period)

Lunch: Chicken Whopper

Dinner: 6oz. steak, 1/2 cup rice, and corn

Clearly she's not holding back. But... With this balance, and even these portions she's losing weight. She's has more energy. But more importantly she doesn't use food to cover up some mental let down. "Now we all have emotional set backs but it's important to not use food to combat them!"
