How to Recover from a Binge

To err is human. So, if you stepped away from your weight loss goal, it doesn’t mean that you are a failure, It just shows that you’re human. As you may have heard me say before, perfection is the goal, but rarely the reality. However, living in a healthy and fit body is important. So when we take these side-steps, we need a way to get back on track. This video will share why binge eating happens and ways to recover from a binge.

Unfortunately my binge lasted 6 months. Once I start really tough to get back. Started back a week ago and already feel so much better, physically and mentally. Glad to put the crazy behind me. Love your calm and gentle way to explain and teach❤

Consistency over Perfection!! I messed up plenty of times in my low carb journey...however I promised myself to get right back on the horse...staying consistent without perfection helped me lose & maintain 80lbs.

My wife thought I was crazy when I began my new low carb lifestyle on Nov.1. I did allow myself to eat some of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes with more carbohydrates but next day was back to the new normal. Gave myself 2 days at Christmas. Actually felt horrible after having some Christmas cookies. Seems the sugar was a shock to my system. They made it even easier to go back to my new normal the next day! Down 34 pounds in 3 months. And below 200 for first time in many years. I wrestled in high school at 181lbs and hope to be back at that weight this summer. Regardless I am determined that this lifestyle is permanent.😎

Dr. Becky, in my humble little opinion, your video's about achieving healthy weight loss are the absolute best because it isn't just about what we eat and how much of it we is so much more to it, and I am so grateful for you that you address every aspect of it!

Dr. Becky, I just love your soothing voice. It makes me feel like everything will be okay.

I binge once each month…a few days before my period. It’s overpowering. The rest of the month, my macros are on point.

The TAKE ACTION message is so important...THANKS

[singit]

Calm, soothing, most motivating 10 minutes EVER! Thanks DocB!

Wish I could give it 100 👍! As a science geek I love the explanations behind the hunger after refined carbs. After 50 years of yo-yo dieting I have found low carb eating. This is something I thought I could never do since I was severely carb addicted. I’m still learning my way. Thanks for your help through the hands on learning!

Perfect timing Dr Becky. I’m just coming off a binge. I’ve unfortunately been here before. Usually takes 2-3 days of eating properly to start feeling better and before adding in exercise. The hardest part for me is sticking with nutrition and exercise. Hard to explain because it makes me feel great and binge eating does exactly the opposite. Thanks for the video.

Just when I needed it, Dr. Becky!! Being a caregiver for my husband recently as he tries to recover from a serious illness, I have been comforting myself with every possible sugary treat I can get my hands on. I can tell I feel worse because of joints, lack of energy, mood swings....I continue to do it. I so needed your "permission" to be imperfect today and to just "get on the boat and push away from the dock"!! And the reminder to "add as I subtract" was something I needed to hear, too! Thank you! Love to Dr. Keith!!

Perfect timing for me! I decided yesterday to get back on track. Recent major chocolate bing! 🤷 Thanks Dr Becky for the encouragement 😊

Thanks Dr Becky for sharing this message about binging. Binging is more than just the physical act of eating, it's a soothing mechanism to heal emotional trauma.
My sister went through this at a young age, binging then throwing up sugar and junk food. Inner healing is what's required to resolve the binging🤓

[michellefinley]

Great timing. I worked really hard all Jan and then weighed myself to a 4 pound weight loss total! Made me so mad I’ve now binged for 1 solid week. Totally stupid.

[cindyfoley]

Thanks Dr. Becky, liked the story of the 3 students

[cathygarner]

All I can say is THANK YOU! I am one who has read books and watched videos, but I have failed to apply the knowledge obtained. It is time for me to take action, not just sit and watch videos on how to eat low carb. I have faltered many times but I am ready to stop the binge. You did an awesome job explaining how we binge, and how to stop the binge. THANK YOU!!!

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting and cutting carbs for a year. I eat at noon and 5:00pm. Healthy, mostly keto recipes and foods. I am totally addicted to potato chips. I could live off them I’m sure. I eat one bag every Friday night. I refuse to give up the one food I love. I am down almost 40 pounds and still dropping steadily. I look at it this way, if I can have my bag of chips guilt free and still lose the weight it’s ok. I love your videos btw 😊

[silverfox]

Wow this story was truly inspiring I was just sharing with my daughter that I had so many people I was learning from that it becoming overwhelming so I deleted a few and started applying what I already knew and of course I still listen to your channel 😊

After 5 months of LCHF diet + IF, Yesterday I hit exactly 50 lbs lost & want to say Thanks to you & Dr Keith for all the wonderful info & inspiration! Totally relate to this video because last Sunday I took my wife out to eat & we binged by ordering whatever we wanted + chocolate cake for dessert. The next day I had no energy & felt too bad to do any exercise whatsoever. The FitBit app showed that the cake alone was 700 calories. Lesson learned - never again! 🤞

I’ve watched and listened to thousands of videos on B.E.D. And this was by far my favorite because it gave good tips and not the ones that everyone already knows. Thank you.
