More detail
This is the second time round for me.
First time I lost the weight 60lbs but carried on using artificial sweeteners and sweet diet drinks and having desserts.
On reaching my goal weight I found that the binging started up again and I rapidly put 40lb back on despite all my efforts at getting control back.
On doing more research I realized that the endless cups of coffee and tea with milk and drinks with artificial sweeteners were messing with my insulin release and causing the cravings, overeating and binging I experienced every afternoon and evening.
Since 'going clean' only eating real foods and not fake foods, taking my tea and coffee black and giving up the diet drinks I have found my afternoon control immeasurably improved and I can now go 5 hours between lunch and supper without eating anything. I have my supper around 6pm and then do not eat again before 6.30am the following morning.
I also drink plenty of plain water.
I have lost 20lbs in 10 weeks and look forward to losing the other 20 over the next 4 months.
Advice
- Give up anything sweet if you have an eating disorder
- Only eat clean food and not fake food
- concentrate on eggs, meat and vegetables
- Eat tomato and onion if you like them and are not having dessert. They are better for you in the long run.
- Take it slow concentrate on correcting your eating disorder and the weight loss becomes a side effect.
- Look up details on Leptin. Rosedale Diet as it explains yoyo dieting.
- If binging is really bad look at taking irvingia to help leptin resistance.
- Eat 3 good meals a day. Do not snack, do not have seconds.
- Enjoy your food
