How Do You Stop Binge Eating & Start Losing Weight?
According to the National Library of Medicine, over 60 percent of U.S. adults are overweight and binge eating affects approximately 3 percent of the population. Controlling binge eating and losing weight often involves behavioral or emotional changes in addition to correcting eating and exercise habits. Overweight people often find that when they successfully control binge eating and maintain healthy eating and exercise habits, the weight will come off naturally. Evaluate your eating habits. Keep a journal to write down what, how much and when you eat, and how you felt at the time. Look for binge triggers such as stress, sadness or fatigue that may have contributed to a binging episode. Avoid binge triggers. Relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or just talking with a friend may help relieve stress and help you avoid binge eating. If binge eating is out of hand and you’re having a hard time identifying or avoiding triggers, consider a support group geared towards binge eating
