Binge Eating Is Not A Form Of Dieting

By: Jeff Foster..

All of this time we have talked about what to eat and what not to eat. Though, that is only part of the solution to a good diet. There is something that we also need to talk about. What we haven't talked about is eating habits.



Keep in mind that when eat and when (or for how long you don't)you don't eat are a very important component in your diet. In other words, your eating habit. Why is this so important? Primarily because when you are dieting you are changing the way you eat and you don't want to get into an unhealthy eating habit of starving yourself then binge eating.



Does this sound like you? You skip breakfast because you are running late for work. You have a bunch of work that has been piling up, so you skip lunch. Instead you have a cup of coffee and some snack crackers. You go home and you eat enough for three meals. You are so hungry you could eat a live pig. You eat so much that you don't think you will be able to walk for a week. You go watch some television and you fall asleep while watching it.



Is effectively eating your three meals a day crammed into one the same thing? Not hardly. It's simple. Your body cannot handle eating all of that food at one time. It is trying to tell you that by making you sleepy. By consuming all of your meals in just one sitting, your body has to call upon all the energy it can from your body just to do the digestion.



In this type of eating scenario, all you are accomplishing is overloading your body's digestive system. In a sense, you have just binge ate. This is a eating habit that you must avoid when you are trying to lose or get your weight under control.



This is because you are so hungry, you have to eat something now. This tends to be whatever you can get your hands on. Generally, it will be something that isn't good for you. This is why it is important that you eat all three of your meals.



You can snack in between those meals too. You want to make sure though that your snacks are healthy ones. Did you know that most doctors say that snacking is good for you? It gives you some energy when you are feeling like you are running on empty.



Eat snacks that are going to energize you not those that are loaded with fat. Foods that are high in fat actually make you feel even more lethargic and trigger your appetite to eat more.



If you are having problems eating three meals a day, you really need to work on your diet. This is because you don't want to binge eat. Binge eating will only hurt you in the long run.



Remember that if your eatings habits involve starving yourself all day long to the point of getting the shakes then eating whatever you can to make them stop; you need to change your eating habits.
