The Solution to Binge Eating
The Solution to Binge Eating
Here are scientifically proven ways to stop binge eating forever!
What is Binge Eating?
Binge eating is the disorder characterized as eating large amounts of food in a short time. Although most of us do this from time to time, the disorder is a little more serious than just “stress eating”. Stress eating is when you reach for food to comfort emotional issues. I know we have all been there, but many of us “stay” there. We have to find the causes of the issues that are causing our binge.
Causes of Emotional Eating
Emotional eating is normally caused by your emotions, the bad ones. Typically emotional eating happens when you are stressed, depressed, or angry. You find comfort in the food that you are eating.
Overcoming Emotional Eating

-

- Can Protein Supplements Reduce Binge Eating? Joel Yager, MD reviewing : When participants were taking the high-protein mix — but not the high-carbohydrate mix — episodes of objective binge eating (i.e., consumption of “an unequivocally large amount of food”) were reduced significantly from 3.01 to 1.19 episodes per week. After each 2-week period, participants took a 420-kcal morning supplement (either protein or carbohydrate); caloric intake at a test meal 3 hours later was significantly lower after the high-protein supplement than after the high-carbohydrate supplement (intake of 673 kcal vs. 856 kcal). Participants reported similar levels of satiety.
