3 Tips To Stop Binge Eating

By Dave Patrick

1. Try to remind yourself again and again that you will feel a hell of a lot worse after you’ve crammed your face with junk. Just like the compulsive spender who derives his buzz from the sheer anticipation of buying, only to feel completely empty once the goods have been acquired.
Reinforce again and again that it is merely a triggered set of responses, firing off in you body, culminating in compulsive eating. When the feelings arise, sit down, stop, breath slowly and think about it, you know deep down that you don’t really want the food nor do you need it.

2. Fill yourself up on foods that you can get away with. Plates piled high with fresh green veg or salad, large portions of meat (any kind) steak, grilled chicken, pork. Anything people, seriously, protein has a magic effect on your metabolism, although it speeds up your metabolism while the process of digestion takes place, it also bypasses the bodies need to release insulin to bring blood sugar levels back down.

Want to know why? Cause protein or green veg and salad has no sugar! And you want to know what a prime characteristic of insulin is?

It is an appetite promoter.

Carbs = rise in sugar levels which result in elevated insulin levels which then result in greater appetite once the sugar levels come back down, rinse and repeat rinse and repeat.

Why do you think a lot of people are constantly snacking on refined carbohydrate crap? You don’t see them snacking on legs of roast chicken.

If in doubt take a closer look at most peoples snacking habits and notice how often they take place as well, every couple of hours by my reckoning.

3. You want another tip? Ok re-read the other 2 a few times over. While tip 1. is a fairly standard positive reaffirmation, the second one is basically all you need to know about dieting in a nutshell. I just let a serious doozy out the bag with that one.

Now, SSSSH. Keep it quiet.

New year diet tips can be found anywhere on the web, they don’t have to cost a penny, you just have to look in the right place. If your looking for that diet for the new year check out the new blog in town.
