Techniques to stop binge eating.
-
Hello, I am 18 years old female. I have been binge eating since the lockdown has started. I gained more than 10kgs since lockdown. I am worried now as I have the craving and want to eat even when I am not hungry. I tried to control myself but I was unable. Earlier I thought I might have thyroid but my blood report was normal. Please suggest some techniques that will help me to overcome/stop binge eating.

Hello@linsa Binge eating disorder (BED) is considered the most common feeding and eating disorder. Regular binge episodes can lead to weight gain, which can contribute to health conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Here are a few things that you can do like
- You can try fasting- Fasting or eliminating certain foods from your diet may be associated with increased cravings and overeating. Focus on eating healthy foods instead of dieting or cutting out certain foods completely.
- Practice mindfulness
- Stay hydrated
- Exercise or you can try yoga
- Try to eat more fiber
- Get enough sleep
- Talk to close ones
- Increase your protein intake
- Take Cognitive behavioral therapy- It is very helpful in treating binge eating disorders.
