In this episode, I walk through the different forms unwanted eating behavior can take — and why understanding them starts with dropping the labels we tend to slap on ourselves.Watch Your Language — Especially After "I Am"Before naming any behavior, I want to be clear: this isn't about labeling yourself. Avoid saying "I am a binge eater." Instead, try "I may be engaging in the habits of binge eating." Every "I am" statement becomes an identity, and identity is everything — every thought creates chemistry in the body, which is why self-talk matters so much more than we realize.Binge Eating, RedefinedThe old image of binge eating — thousands of calories in one sitting, followed by purging — is only part of the picture. The real marker is that feeling of being full, uncomfortable, maybe nauseous, and still wanting more. It's the desire to stop with no amount of discipline, accountability, or willpower actually stopping it.Overeating (Compulsive Overeating)This looks like eating a full meal, then eating again because of a smell, a memory, or a "waste not" mindset — like finishing your kids' plates or a childhood rule that you must clear your plate no matter what. What we learn as children about food often carries directly into adult overeating patterns.Mindless EatingEating without presence — snacking while on the computer, nibbling while cooking, munching while scrolling. It's a total disconnection between eating and awareness, the kind where you suddenly notice your hand at the bottom of an empty bag with no memory of eating it all.Evening/Nighttime SnackingThis one is trickier because it's tied to our circadian rhythm and evolutionary history — as hunter-gatherers, most of our eating happened at the end of the day. The difference now is that we have access to ultra-processed, nutrient-empty foods our ancestors never had, so we end up seeking more food to compensate for what it lacks nutritionally.Emotional and Stress EatingTriggered by emotions rather than hunger — some people lose their appetite during sadness or a breakup, but overeat specifically during stress. The common thread across every one of these behaviors: awareness is the first step, because we can't heal what we haven't yet identified.It Was Never About the FoodThe more we try to control food, the more deeply we engrave the pattern in the subconscious mind. This is where the nervous system comes in — specifically the autonomic nervous system, which runs automatically in the background (heartbeat, digestion, etc.) without our conscious command.Protection Mode vs. Safety ModeProtection mode (sympathetic, fight-or-flight) — driven by the reptilian brain, overriding logic entirely. Everything becomes reactive.Safety mode (parasympathetic, rest-and-digest) — where we're calm, creative, centered, and at peace.All unwanted eating behaviors happen from protection mode.Share Your Takeaway!

Have you ever gone days, weeks or even MONTHS without bingeing…felt proud of yourself, better in your body & maybe even had fewer food thoughts…and then suddenly the urge comes back and you're thinking What the heck n Bob is happening?! I thought I was doing so well.Maybe you've had stretches where you weren't bingeing because you stayed busy.You kept sweets out of the house.You avoided baking.You went to bed early.You made sure you weren't home alone.And for a while…it "worked".But ... were your urges actually getting weaker…or were you just controlling the situation so you didn't have to feel them?In this episode, I'm breaking down why binge urges can seem like they disappeared and then suddenly come back and why avoidance is very different from actually rewiring your brain.You'll learn:Why going weeks or months without bingeing doesn't always mean your urges are actually goneWhy avoiding trigger foods, staying busy or never being home alone can give you temporary reliefWhy your urge may not actually be coming back, it may never have sustainably leftWhy learning to sit with discomfort is such an important part of weakening binge urgesWhy avoiding every situation that could trigger an urge can keep you on high alert around foodHow feeling an urge and choosing NOT to automatically give in creates a new responseWhy repetition is what makes your urges less intense and less frequentWhy you do NOT need to be perfect to start rewiring the binge habitWhat it can look like to finally feel powerful around food instead of scared of your next urgeThe goal isn't to build your whole life around avoiding binge urges. It's to get to a place where you can be home alone without feeling the need to binge.Bake your favourite cookies and save some for later.Have chocolate in the house without obsessing over it.Feel an urge…and know that you do NOT have to give in.That's when you start feeling genuinely proud of yourself, because you're not just avoiding the urge anymore.You're learning how to be with the discomfort and choose a different response.If you're ready to practice exactly this, join me inside my Stop Giving Into Your Binge Urges 30-Day Challenge.For 30 days, I'm helping you practice not automatically giving in so your urges can become less intense, happen less frequently and food can start feeling like a choice again.JOIN THE CHALLENGE HERECONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

You know that moment when a binge urge comes on and suddenly it feels like you need to do SOMETHING?Maybe you're standing in the kitchen opening cupboards even though you're not physically hungry.You're thinking about the chocolate.The chips.The cereal.The leftovers.And a part of you is saying:“Don't do it.”“Get out of the kitchen.”“Distract yourself.”“Just don't binge.”So you scroll your phone, put on a show, go upstairs, brush your teeth, try to stay busy.But the entire time…the urge is still freaking there.In this episode, I'm breaking down why trying to distract yourself or think your way out of a binge urge can leave you feeling even MORE mentally exhausted and why what you may actually need is a state change.You'll learn:Why distraction techniques can work short term but still leave the urge thereWhy white-knuckling your way through an urge is so exhaustingWhy telling yourself “DON'T binge” can sometimes make you think about bingeing even moreThe difference between trying to change your thoughts and actually changing your physical stateWhy being highly impulsive makes it harder to hear your True BrainOne specific state-change tool I used during my own binge eating recoveryWhy creating a state change can help you feel more grounded and less reactive around foodWhy the goal isn't to forbid yourself from eating, but to get out of that impulsive 10/10 state so YOU can decide what you actually wantHow practicing a new response can help weaken your urges over timeThe goal isn't to spend the rest of your life distracting yourself from food.It's to get to a place where you don't even feel the urge to binge anymore.Where you can be home alone, around your favourite sweets, on vacation, at a wedding or at a social event, and food doesn't feel like it's controlling you.If you want support learning how to stop giving into binge urges AND understand why those urges are showing up in the first place, join my Stop Giving Into Your Binge Urges 30-Day Challenge.Inside the challenge, I'll help you work on both:1. How to respond differently when an urge hits2. How to start preventing those urges from becoming so strong in the first place

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's having the mental capacity to do one more damn thing.This week, I'm talking off the cuff about the invisible mental weight I've been carrying with back-to-school, parenting, diabetes care, work, routines, and all the little things that somehow end up taking up so much space in your brain.And yes, this still connects to emotional eating, body image, and weight loss because none of that happens in a bubble. Sometimes you don't need more discipline. You need fewer tabs open, a lower barrier to entry, and a little more awareness of what you're actually carrying.Irresistible Links:

Is there really a connection between ADHD and binge eating? Research shows ADHD and binge eating show up together far more than chance would explain, and once you see what's actually driving that overlap, some of your own patterns might finally make sense.In this episode, I'm looking at what the research actually tells us about ADHD and binge eating and, more importantly, how this information might help you better understand your own eating patterns.What You'll Discover:The real research connection between ADHD and binge eatingWhat ADHD explains and what it doesn'tHow attention and hunger and fullness cues might be connectedThe question worth asking instead of "is ADHD why I binge?"If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or simply recognize yourself in some of these patterns, this episode is for you.If you would like to explore getting support with your eating challenges, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.If you want to go deeper into the four pillars I mention in this episode, you can find my book, The Binge Eating Breakthrough.Define Your Food Freedom WorkshopIf you've ever said, “I just want food freedom,” this workshop will help you take a closer look at what that actually means for you.

Your friend who binges probably isn't binging where you can see her - and she most likely looks 'healthy' on the outside. Why? Because this stuff is driven by shame, guilt and self-judgement that causes us to hide. I'm calling out the sneaky, secretive stuff nobody talks about, because shame lives in the dark, and it's time we drag it into the light.What You'll Learn:Why you (or your friend) make special trips to separate grocery stores or fast food spots for binge foods, and what that secrecy is really protectingWhy obsessively logging every bite in an app can actually be driving your binging, not preventing itWhy your camera roll is full of "before" photos and zero "afters," and what that says about perfectionismHow joking about your eating habits works as a shield, and why it's the same defense mechanism people use after being bulliedWhat a "binge buddy" friendship looks like, and why misery loving company keeps you both stuckThe exact challenge I want you to try this week to strip the shame out of eating "bad" foodsWhat can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!Tips to help you stop binging & overeatingA friendly face, hint of sarcasm & touch of tough love to help you be normal around food.Links to help you further: Register for the FREE training: Stop Binge Eating + Overeating (Without Cutting Out Your Favorite Foods)MORE FROM ME: 

Today's episode is an MVP you don't want to miss!  What if I told you your people-pleasing habit was really just a desire to control others? Typically, this desire for ‘control' stems from a place of survival.  You learned you needed to show up a certain way in order to keep other people happy and avoid conflict, so that they would keep meeting your emotional needs.  But this coping mechanism is only holding you hostage.  Keep listening as I break down the nuanced dark side of this trait, and learn the first steps to breaking free.

Is perfectionism quietly affecting your relationship with food? In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Ellen Hendriksen to explore how perfectionism fuels anxiety, food obsession, and self-criticism—and how self-compassion can help you create lasting freedom. If you're tired of chasing impossible standards and want a healthier mindset around food and life, this conversation is for you.When Healthy Eating Becomes an ObsessionI share how my own wellness journey slowly shifted from wanting to nourish my body to becoming consumed by food rules, labels, and the pressure to eat perfectly.The intention started from a good place—but over time, "healthy" became stressful instead of freeing.Perfectionism Is About Worth, Not StandardsDr. Hendriksen explains that perfectionists aren't simply people with high standards.They're people who believe they have to earn love, acceptance, or belonging by achieving, performing, or getting everything right.That distinction changes everything.The Hidden Habits That Keep Anxiety AliveTogether, we explore the patterns that perfectionists often fall into:-All-or-nothing thinking-Fixating on mistakes instead of progress-Constant self-criticism-Moving the goalposts every time success is achievedThese habits don't motivate growth—they fuel anxiety and keep us disconnected from ourselves.Excellence Doesn't Require PerfectionOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that letting go of perfection doesn't mean lowering your standards.It means pursuing excellence with self-compassion instead of self-judgment.Growth becomes sustainable when your identity isn't tied to your performance.Perfection promises certainty, but often delivers anxiety.Healing begins when you stop chasing flawless and start embracing authentic.You don't have to earn your worth.You already have it.Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityDiscover the skill that will set the next generation of coaches apart.Grab your FREE copy of ‘Irreplaceable Coach Playbook': www.mpwfpractitioner.comListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Have you ever looked at somebody else who stopped bingeing and thought “That's great for her…but I'm different.”Maybe you have health and fitness goals and you're terrified to stop tracking your food.Maybe you have food sensitivities and feel like strict food rules are your only option.Maybe you've struggled with binge eating since you were young.Or maybe life feels SO stressful right now that becoming binge-free feels completely unrealistic.You are not the exception.I'm sharing real examples of women who once believed they HAD to track their food, overexercise or tightly control what they ate and who now eat normally, consistently take care of their body and feel so much more peaceful around food.You'll learn:Why feeling different doesn't mean you're incapable of changingWhy you don't need to fully believe you can conquer binge eating yetHow Rewire Reps start creating evidence that change is possibleWhy fewer binge urges lead to less impulsivity around foodHow health and fitness goals can exist alongside a healthy relationship with foodWhy food sensitivities don't have to turn into rigid restrictionHow your own progress eventually becomes the proof you needYou don't need to wake up tomorrow completely convinced “I KNOW I'll never binge again.”Start smaller. Use the tools, practice stop giving into your urges & BUILD the evidence.Eventually you start realizing:“Wait…I'm having fewer urges.”“I'm thinking about food less.”“I'm not as impulsive anymore.”“Maybe I really CAN do this.”If you're ready to stop treating yourself like the exception and start sustainably rewiring your relationship with food, JOIN CONQUER 2.0CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

Binge eating doesn't just affect what happens in the kitchen.It can impact your mood, confidence, sex life, self-worth, mental health, relationships and your ability to actually feel present in your own life.In this episode, I'm talking about the hidden cost of binge eating especially when everyone around you thinks you're healthy, fit and disciplined, but behind closed doors you're carrying shame around food and terrified anyone will find out.We're also talking about the exhausting cycle of doing well, slipping back into old habits, promising yourself “this is the last time,” and waiting until Monday to start again.At some point, you have to get radically honest with yourself about what this cycle is costing you.Because you were not meant to spend your life obsessing over food and calories.You were meant to enjoy date night.Be present with your family.Feel joy.Feel confident.Feel at home in your body.And have a life so full that food is no longer taking up all of your brain space.This episode is your reminder that you can draw a line in the sand, commit to the process and sustainably conquer binge eating instead of continuing the same start-and-stop cycle for another year.Message me CONQUER on Instagram and I'll send you the details for CONQUER 2.0.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

You already messed up.”In this special Binge-Free Day Blueprint training, I'm showing you why trying to have the PERFECT day can actually create more food thoughts, stronger binge urges and more impulsivity around food and what to focus on instead.You'll learn:Why perfection can make a binge-free day feel harderHow food rules and restriction create built-up pressureHow to start your day without the “I have to be good today” mentalityHow to eat in a way that actually supports and respects your bodyWhy waiting until you're ravenous can make eating feel much more impulsiveWhy satisfying meals matter when you want to stop constantly thinking about foodWhy you need an actual plan for your binge urges instead of relying on willpowerHow to stop bouncing between white-knuckling an urge and automatically saying “eff it”How to start creating binge-free days that feel sustainable instead of constantly starting overYou do NOT need another perfect Monday.And you don't need to spend all day fighting yourself around food.You can learn a completely different way of responding to food, your body and your binge urges.If you're ready to go deeper and turn binge-free days into sustainable binge-free months, message me CONQUER on Instagram and I'll send you the details for CONQUER 2.0.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

Can you have anorexia and struggle with binge eating, too? If you find yourself moving between food restriction and binge eating, you may wonder whether your eating disorder has changed or whether you're somehow failing at recovery. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne talks about the binge-restrict cycle, why eating disorder symptoms can shift over time, and what it means when binge eating shows up during anorexia recovery. Binge eating after restriction does not automatically mean you have binge eating disorder (BED). Extreme hunger, reactive eating, subjective binges, and eating that feels out of control can all occur in the context of restriction and long-term eating disorder recovery. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Dr. Marianne discusses why restriction can make food feel increasingly urgent, why returning to restriction after a binge can keep the cycle going, and why subtle forms of restriction are easy to miss. She also explains why restriction may feel safer or more familiar than binge eating, especially for people who have lived with anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders for years or decades. For neurodivergent people with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, food restriction can also become intertwined with routine, sensory needs, predictability, executive functioning, autonomy, and nervous system regulation. You'll learn why binge eating doesn't erase a history of anorexia, why eating more isn't automatically evidence of BED, and why the goal isn't necessarily to determine which eating disorder you "really" have. BREAKING THE BINGE-RESTRICT CYCLE What happens after a binge or an episode of eating more than you intended matters. Skipping meals, delaying breakfast, cutting portions, avoiding certain foods, or exercising to compensate can restart the restriction-binge cycle. Instead, Dr. Marianne discusses returning to consistent nourishment, identifying hidden restriction, getting curious about what preceded the binge, and resisting the pull to romanticize anorexia when binge eating feels frightening. For people with chronic or long-term eating disorders, progress may mean recognizing the cycle sooner, reducing its intensity, and responding to difficult eating experiences without punishment or compensation.

Have you ever gone weeks or even MONTHS without bingeing…only to have one stressful day, vacation, night home alone or “eff it” moment send you right back into old habits?You might think “But I was doing SO well. Why can't I sustain this?”In this episode, I'm breaking down why willpower is NOT a sustainable strategy for binge urges, even if you're incredibly disciplined, motivated and successful in every other area of your life.Because sure…you might be able to white-knuckle your way through an urge sometimes.But it's exhausting.And more importantly?It doesn't actually stop the urges from continuing to pop up.You'll learn:Why you can go months without bingeing and still fall back into old habitsThe two ways I see women responding when a strong binge urge hitsWhy distracting yourself, avoiding trigger foods and staying busy isn't a sustainable urge strategyWhy automatically saying “eff it” strengthens the same old patternWhy you need to change your RESPONSE to binge urges instead of simply hoping they disappearWhy rewiring your brain requires an actual plan for what you'll do when an urge hitsYou don't need MORE willpower.You need to know how you want to respond when the urge shows up so you're not white-knuckling through it OR automatically giving in.If you want help creating that plan, join my FREE training:

Have you ever wondered why your binge urges feel SO strong, even when you genuinely want to stop?For years, I thought I needed to find the perfect diet. I tried tracking macros, intermittent fasting and being “good” with food…but all of it made me think about food even more and made my urges feel stronger.Eventually, I realized something that completely changed how I looked at binge eating...Binge eating had become a habit inside my brain.When I first started bingeing, it happened once every few months. Then monthly. Then weekly. Eventually, daily.The more times I felt an urge and gave in, the more automatic that response became.In this episode, I'm breaking down why your binge urges can become stronger over time, why restriction doesn't solve the problem, and the ONE skill you need to practice if you want to start weakening the urge → binge cycle.You'll learn why wanting to stop isn't always enough, how repetition rewires your brain, and why learning to feel an urge without automatically giving into it is such an important part of becoming binge-free.If you're ready to sustainably conquer binge eating and learn exactly how to practice this in real life, message me CONQUER on Instagram and I'll send you the details for CONQUER 2.0.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

Do you want to heal your relationship with food without feeling like you have to give up caring about your health or how you feel in your body?Maybe you're scared that if you stop tracking, controlling or following food rules, you'll swing to the opposite extreme... eating whatever you want, gaining weight and feeling even MORE uncomfortable in your own skin.But eating normally isn't about restriction or having a free-for-all.In this episode, I'm sharing 9 habits of women who eat normally, trust themselves around food AND feel good in their body.You'll learn:Why normal eaters focus on what sounds good, not what they should eatHow to listen to your True Brain instead of your Restrict Brain or Binge BrainWhy normal eaters honour cravings without turning them into bingesHow to stop eating past fullness without feeling deprivedWhat it looks like when binge urges are no longer running the showHow normal eaters move on after overeating instead of saying “eff it”How to keep trigger foods in your house without obsessing over themThe difference between loving boundaries and rigid food rulesHow movement can come from self-respect instead of punishmentYou don't have to choose between trusting yourself around food and feeling good in your body.The goal is Freedom of Choice, where YOU decide how you eat instead of rules, restriction, guilt, cravings or binge urges deciding for you.If you're ready to stop bingeing and get back to eating like a normal person, message me CONQUER and I'll send you the details for CONQUER 2.0.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

In this episode, I'm exploring the binge eating cycle, why restriction and shame can keep it going, and how self-compassion, emotional acceptance, and rebuilding trust with food and your body can support recovery.  

It's 9pm. You told yourself today would be different. And here you are, standing in the kitchen, eating something you swore off, already planning how you'll "start over" tomorrow. Again.   This doesn't happen because you lack willpower. It's what happens when your diet is so extreme your brain eventually rebels. Feeling deprived from your dieting rules is what's driving the binge, not the other way around.   Coach Steph Miramontes and I break down Outsmart Overeating, our six-week program that helps women stop binge and emotional eating for good, plus exactly what's inside it.   In this episode:   The 3 types of women who struggle most with food (you'll probably clock yourself in one) Why restriction, not lack of discipline, is what's actually driving the bingeing A week-by-week look at the program: from the MindShift Method in week one, to breaking the binge/emotional eating cycle in week three, to tackling self-sabotage in week five What you get each week: live group coaching, 1:1 attention, and a 100% money-back guarantee The fear hiding underneath "what if I gain weight if I stop dieting"   Plus, the doors open for our next Outsmart Overeating group August 31 - September 3rd.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to do more, add more, and become more. Every New Year brings another list of goals, habits, and resolutions—all focused on adding something else to an already full plate.But what if lasting transformation isn't about doing more?In this episode, I share a refreshing perspective on why doing less, simplifying, and focusing on consistency is often the missing piece to creating real, sustainable change. Whether you're working on your relationship with food, your health, your finances, or your mindset, this conversation will help you shift from overwhelm to intentional action.You Already Know What to DoOne of the biggest myths in personal growth is believing you need more information.The truth?Most of us already know the basics:Eat more whole foods.Drink more water.Move your body.Prioritize sleep.Build strength.The challenge isn't a lack of knowledge—it's finding the permission to simplify and consistently follow through without overwhelming yourself.Consistency Beats IntensityTransformation doesn't happen because of one perfect week.It happens because of the small things you repeat over and over again.When we believe we have to change everything at once, our nervous system interprets that as stress. We feel behind, overwhelmed, and eventually give up.Instead, I encourage you to start with one small action that feels manageable today.Small wins create lasting momentum.Add Before You SubtractRather than focusing on what you need to eliminate, begin by asking:"What can I add that supports my health?"Instead of restricting foods or creating more rules, try:Adding more colorful vegetables.Drinking an extra glass of water.Taking a short walk.Creating one nourishing meal each day.This gentle approach builds confidence instead of triggering feelings of deprivation.Stop Tracking Calories—Start Tracking Your BodyInstead of measuring success by calories, macros, or the number on the scale, I invite you to pay attention to your body's own feedback.Three powerful indicators tell you whether your habits are supporting you:Your Mood – Are you feeling calmer, happier, and more emotionally regulated?Your Sleep – Are you sleeping more deeply and waking up feeling restored?Your Gut – How is your digestion? Are bloating and elimination improving?Your body gives you better data than any tracking app ever could.Focus on the Behavior, Not the FoodFood is rarely the real issue.The real work begins by identifying the behavior underneath the eating.Ask yourself:Is it nighttime snacking?Emotional eating?Stress eating?Binge eating?Every behavior is driven by a different internal experience—and often by different hormonal and nervous system responses.When you stop trying to control food and instead become curious about the behavior, you begin creating lasting change.Awareness Creates FreedomThe goal isn't perfection.The goal is awareness.The more connected you become to your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your nervous system, the easier it becomes to make choices that genuinely support you.Download Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

What if binge eating isn't a willpower problem at all? Dr. Marianne welcomes back nutritionist and eating disorder specialist Marcelle Rose @marcellerosenutrition, author of The Binge Freedom Method, for a conversation about binge eating recovery without dieting. Marcelle works with people experiencing binge eating, bulimia, restrictive eating, and emotional eating, and her approach looks beyond food to understand what may actually be driving these patterns. What You'll Learn Dr. Marianne and Marcelle discuss why dieting and restriction can fuel binge eating, how sleep and physiology can affect hunger and cravings, and why reducing shame matters in binge eating recovery. They also talk about body image, weight stigma, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust with food and your body. Marcelle shares the four pillars of The Binge Freedom Method: Nourish, Balance, Think, and Feel. Her framework incorporates nutrition, physiology, thoughts and beliefs, emotions, and body image rather than treating binge eating as simply a problem of self-control. Check out a free chapter of the book HERE! ADHD and Binge Eating A major focus of the conversation is the connection between ADHD and binge eating. ADHD can make eating consistently difficult, especially when executive functioning challenges, distraction, overwhelm, or hyperfocus interfere with recognizing hunger and stopping to eat. Marcelle and Dr. Marianne discuss practical ADHD-friendly strategies such as simplifying meals, eating familiar foods, using reminders, creating flexible routines, and reducing the cognitive load around breakfast and meal planning. They also discuss why support and accommodations can matter more than rigid expectations when neurodivergent people struggle to eat regularly. Binge Eating, Body Image, and Food Freedom Recovery involves more than stopping binge eating. Marcelle shares how clients can gradually move away from self-blame, chronic dieting, and the belief that they simply need more willpower. You'll also hear about body image healing, weight stigma, diet culture, regular eating, self-compassion, and what it can look like when food finally takes up less space in your mind. If you struggle with binge eating disorder, emotional eating, ADHD and binge eating, the binge-restrict cycle, chronic dieting, or body image, this conversation offers a compassionate alternative to another diet.

If you've spent years chasing the next diet, counting calories, weighing yourself, or believing that your worth is tied to the number on the scale, this episode is for you.In this episode, I share why so many women feel trapped in an endless cycle of dieting and frustration—and why the answer isn't another meal plan or more willpower. Instead, true healing begins when you stop looking outside yourself for validation and start rebuilding trust with your own body.Lasting Change Requires the Right SupportBreaking free from diet culture isn't something you have to do alone.I talk about how your environment plays a powerful role in your relationship with food. From what's in your pantry to the people you spend time with, your surroundings either reinforce old habits or support new ones.Support can come from:Your home environmentA coach who understands your journeyA community of people walking the same pathHealing happens faster when you're surrounded by people who remind you what's possible.The Courage to Let Go of What Isn't WorkingOne of the hardest parts of healing isn't learning something new—it's releasing what you've relied on for years.If you've spent decades:DietingRestricting foodObsessing over your bodyLetting vacations, events, and social gatherings revolve around food…the first step is simply acknowledging:What I've been doing isn't working anymore.Real transformation begins with the willingness to let go of old strategies that no longer serve you.Rebuilding Trust With Your BodyInstead of relying on calorie trackers, macro calculators, or the scale to tell you whether you're "doing well," I invite you to begin listening inward.Ask yourself:What does my body need right now?Am I physically hungry?If I stop eating now, will this food still be available later?Freedom comes from knowing food isn't scarce and that your body already has incredible wisdom—you simply need to reconnect with it.Stop Looking for Validation Outside YourselfDiet culture teaches us to seek approval from numbers:CaloriesMacrosWeightAppsThe scaleBut none of these teach you how to trust yourself.Your body doesn't need another set of rules—it needs your attention, compassion, and curiosity.The Three Root Causes of Unwanted EatingOne of the core teachings inside the Make Peace With Food Method is that unwanted eating isn't about food itself.I've found that cravings and eating behaviors typically come from three primary sources:BiologicalWhen your body is under stress, cravings naturally increase.Examples include:Elevated cortisolPoor sleepBlood sugar spikes and crashesInsulin dysregulationPsychologicalFood often becomes a coping strategy for:Unprocessed emotionsStressChildhood conditioningPast traumaSocialOur environment continually shapes our habits:Family dynamicsHousehold routinesDiet cultureSocial expectationsUnderstanding why you're eating is far more powerful than focusing only on what you're eating.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Could GLP-1 medications play a role in treating bulimia or binge eating disorder? In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Paige Gordon and psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lutter about Paige's personal experience using a GLP-1 medication for treatment-resistant bulimia, and why researchers are beginning to explore the neurobiology of binge eating.Paige shares how years of therapy and medication never quieted the overwhelming binge urges that drove her bulimia. After hearing someone describe their experience on a podcast, she began exploring GLP-1 medication and saw a profound change in her urges and eating patterns. Dr. Lutter adds the scientific context, including genetic findings that may help explain why some people with binge eating or bulimia respond strongly to GLP-1 medications.They cover:How Paige's bulimia began and why standard treatments didn't fully helpWhat “food noise” felt like in her lived experienceWhy GLP-1 medications may affect appetite, reward pathways, and binge urgesHow genetics may help identify who responds to GLP-1sWhy eating disorder treatment needs more precision-focused researchThe risks of using GLP-1 medications in people with restrictive eating disordersWhy stigma keeps many people from discussing this treatment openlyThis conversation explores an emerging area of eating disorder research with hope, caution, and a clear need for larger clinical trials.

Tina has done so much healing, and her question becomes: when is recovery “enough”?In this conversation, listener Tina shares a recovery story that will feel deeply familiar to many listeners: years of restriction, calorie counting, binge eating, fear foods, food obsession—and then a long, thoughtful climb toward something much steadier.She's no longer trapped in the binge-restrict cycle. Food doesn't dominate her life the way it once did. She can eat fear foods. Enjoy social meals. Loosen the rules. And yet…She still has some food noise. She still loosely knows the numbers. She'd still happily snap her fingers and lose a few pounds. So does that mean she's not really recovered? Or is this what recovery actually looks like for many people, not perfection, but a sustainable middle ground?In this episode, we talk about the so-called “messy middle” of recovery, the pressure to achieve perfect food freedom, and why all-or-nothing thinking can sneak into healing just as easily as it sneaks into dieting.In this episode, you'll hear: Whether “fully recovered” is even a meaningful or realistic standard  Why the internet's version of recovery can sometimes create unnecessary pressure  The difference between disordered eating and normal human imperfection  When calorie awareness is useful, and when it becomes a problem  Why some structure can support recovery instead of sabotaging it  The difference between occasional overeating and binge eating  How perfectionism can distort your expectations of healing  Why recovery may be less about arriving somewhere and more about ongoing flexibility  How to decide whether your current relationship with food is actually costing you anything This is such an important conversation for anyone who has ever wondered:If I still stress about food sometimes… am I doing recovery wrong?Because maybe healing isn't about becoming a perfectly intuitive, salad-in-a-meadow person.Maybe it's about building a relationship with food that gives you your life back.New to the show?

The way you speak to yourself today becomes the person you believe you are tomorrow.In this episode, I want to talk about something that quietly shapes every decision you make, every relationship you have with food, and every way you experience your body: your thoughts. Most of us don't realize that the conversations we have with ourselves become the foundation for how we show up in the world. They influence our confidence, our habits, our nervous system, and ultimately, the life we create.If you've ever found yourself stuck in the loop of "I'm not enough," "I need to fix myself," or "I'll never change," this episode is for you. The Record That's Always PlayingWe all have an internal soundtrack.Sometimes it's encouraging.But for many of us, it's the same old record playing on repeat:"I'm not enough.""I don't look right.""I'll never feel confident.""I hate my body."These thoughts become so familiar that we stop questioning whether they're true.But every thought you think creates chemistry inside your body. When you repeatedly speak to yourself with criticism, your nervous system begins responding as though those words are facts.You Can't Love Yourself Through PunishmentOne of the biggest mindset shifts I share in this episode is this:If you're choosing healthier food or movement because you're punishing yourself for how you look, your brain isn't learning self-care.It's learning shame.Every workout...Every salad...Every healthy decision...Becomes another reminder that you believe something is wrong with you.Healing begins when your healthy habits become acts of love instead of acts of punishment.Sometimes Your Inner Critic Was Trying to Protect YouNegative self-talk doesn't always begin with body image.Sometimes it begins with trauma.Painful experiences.Words spoken over you.Moments that taught you you weren't enough.For some women, especially those who have experienced sexual trauma, becoming less visible or less attractive can become an unconscious form of protection.Your brain is always trying to keep you safe.What once served as protection may now be keeping you from fully living.Your Words Become Your IdentityOne of my favorite examples is Muhammad Ali.Before the world believed he was the greatest...He believed it first.He repeatedly declared:"I am the greatest."Imagine if instead he had said,"I'm probably not good enough.""I'll just try my best.""Someone else is better than me."He never would have embodied the confidence that made him legendary.The same principle applies to every one of us.Whatever you repeatedly say about yourself eventually becomes the truth your brain believes.Choose your words carefully.They are shaping your future.Borrow Confidence From the Parts of Your Life That Already Feel StrongThink about the areas where you already feel successful.Your work.Your family.Your friendships.Your business.Notice how differently you speak to yourself there.You already know how to believe in yourself.Now it's time to bring that same compassion and confidence into your relationship with food, your body, and your health.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

SummaryTracking your food might seem like a pain, but could it be the thing that finally helps you understand why you are not losing weight?In this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen break down how fat loss really works and why tracking calories and macros can be such a helpful tool.They explain why diets like keto and fasting can work, but not for the reasons many people think. At the end of the day, fat loss requires a calorie deficit. Tracking gives you real data so you can stop guessing whether you are actually in one.Chase and Chris also talk about why tracking does not need to mean hitting every macro perfectly or giving up your favorite foods. In fact, learning to track can give you more food freedom because you start to understand how different foods fit into your goals.They also cover the other side of tracking. For some people, tracking can become too strict or obsessive. They explain when it may not be the right tool, why taking breaks can be helpful, and why the goal should not be to track every bite of food for the rest of your life.You will also learn why accurate tracking matters, how small bites and snacks can quickly add up, why restaurant meals may contain far more calories than you think, and how a food scale can help you get better results.If you feel like you are eating healthy but still cannot figure out why the scale is not moving, this episode may help you find the missing piece.Chapters(00:32) Why Tracking Macros Can Be So Powerful(01:19) How a Calorie Deficit Actually Causes Fat Loss(02:34) Did Keto Really Work If You Gained the Weight Back?(03:17) Stop Guessing Whether You're in a Calorie Deficit(04:01) The Learning Curve of Tracking Macros(06:28) Is Tracking Really Too Much Work?(07:24) Why Are You Resistant to Tracking?(08:22) Tracking Is a Tool, Not a Forever Diet(09:44) How to Avoid Tracking Burnout(12:26) “I Eat Healthy” Does Not Guarantee Fat Loss(14:36) The Numbers Behind Fat Loss(15:05) When Tracking Can Become Unhealthy(16:20) Binge Eating, Emotional Eating, and Tracking(18:18) Should Everyone Start With Macros?(19:51) Tracking vs. Accurately Tracking(22:17) Should You Use a Food Scale From Day One?(23:48) How Tracking Exposes Your Current Habits(25:18) The Hidden Calories in Eating Out(27:55) Why Eyeballing Your Portions Can Backfire(29:21) How Tracking Can Create More Food Freedom(31:01) Saving Calories for Birthdays, Weekends, and Events(31:55) Why You Shouldn't Eat Back Exercise Calories(32:43) Don't Starve Yourself to “Save” Calories(33:58) The 7-Day Tracking Challenge(35:07) Can You Actually Sustain Your Diet?SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

What if you stopped trying to get your relationship with food “right” and started getting curious instead?In this episode, I explore something I believe can completely shift the way we approach food, health, and change: curiosity.Think back to when you were a child. You naturally asked:What would happen if I tried this?What would happen if I did that?Curiosity led you.But somewhere along the way, many of us stopped exploring and started demanding certainty. We created rules, deadlines, expectations, and pressure.“I'm going to stop eating carbs.”“I have to lose 10 pounds.”“I have to get this right.”“This better work.”And suddenly, our relationship with food became driven by urgency instead of curiosity.Where Did Our Curiosity Go?As children, curiosity was a natural part of how we experienced the world.We experimented.We explored.We tried things.But as adults, we often feel like we need to know the answer before we begin.Instead of asking: “What would happen if I tried this?”We tell ourselves:“This has to work.”That pressure changes everything.Curiosity Creates SpaceCuriosity isn't absolute.It's not urgent.It's not fear-driven.It's creativity. Exploration. Expansion.Curiosity allows you to become comfortable with the unknown.You don't have to know exactly what will happen.You can simply become willing to discover.What If You Started Experimenting?What would happen if you started eating more of something that supports you every single day?What would happen if you started your morning with a 20-minute walk?What if you tried it for 20 days or 30 days and simply observed what happened?You don't have to turn every new habit into another rigid rule.You can experiment.You can notice.You can learn.And you can allow the experience to teach you something about yourself.Maybe You're Not the ProblemIf you've been struggling with food for years, you may feel like you're too far gone.But I want you to consider something different:You may actually be exactly where you need to be to begin.You know what isn't working.You've tried the things you've been told to try.And if those approaches haven't created the change you want, maybe it's time to stop assuming that you are the problem.Maybe it's the system.Maybe it's the approach.Maybe it's time to ask a different question.You Don't Have to Live in ShameWhen something doesn't work, we often turn the blame inward.Why can't I do this?What's wrong with me?Why can't I just stick with it?That cycle can leave us feeling powerless, confused, guilty, and ashamed.But what if you replaced self-blame with curiosity?Instead of asking: “Why can't I do this?”Try asking: “What can I learn from this?”That one shift creates a completely different conversation with yourself.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

What happens when things are actually going well—and your brain immediately starts waiting for something to go wrong?In this episode, we talk about emotional confidence: the ability to trust yourself with change, uncertainty, disappointment, and even happiness. You'll hear why bracing for future pain doesn't protect you from it, how recovery involves learning to tolerate normal variation rather than trying to keep life perfectly steady, and why confidence is often built by remembering what you've already survived.We also explore the difference between recognizing a helpful “tailwind” and slipping into a restrictive famine mindset, how to treat body weight as information rather than a verdict, and why there is no making up for yesterday—there is only taking care of yourself right now.This week's experiment: choose one emotion you're still learning to handle without eating, restricting, numbing, or escaping, and practice telling yourself, “This is a feeling I'm building confidence with.”New to the show?

In this deeply personal episode, I share my full story — not just how I entered the health and fitness world…but how I discovered the missing piece that changed everything.The Injury That Changed EverythingI take you back to being a teenage athlete — strong, competitive, and deeply connected to my body — until a life-altering moment shifted everything.At just 16 years old, I was in a severe accident that led to emergency back surgery and one devastating message:“You'll never play sports again.”My world became smaller.My body became something to manage… instead of something to trust.The Wake-Up CallIn my early 20s, after a night that left me feeling completely disconnected, I had a moment of truth:“Who have I become?”That question became my turning point.Instead of accepting the story I had been given, I made one simple decision:I signed up for a gym.No plan.No knowledge.No certainty.Just a willingness to begin.Rebuilding Through RepetitionWhat followed wasn't perfection — it was consistency.Copying workoutsShowing up week after weekLearning through doingReconnecting with my body slowlyAnd then something incredible happened:My pain started to disappear.I got off medication.I began running — first 5 minutes… then an hour.A moment that once felt impossible became reality.And in that moment, a new purpose was born:“If I can do this… I need to help others do this too.”The Search for the “Right Way” to EatAs I built my career — studying exercise science, becoming an athletic therapist and osteopath, opening gyms — I became obsessed with one question:What is the right way to eat?What followed was a journey through nearly every diet:Calorie countingLow-fatAtkinsPaleoKetoZonePlant-basedEach backed by science.Each promising results.Each adding another layer of confusion.When Knowledge Turns Into FearWhat started as education slowly became obsession.Food became:Something to controlSomething to label as “good” or “bad”Something tied to my identity and worthAnd behind the scenes, something deeper was happening:Fear.Despite being the “expert”…Despite coaching others…Despite knowing everything about nutrition…My relationship with food was unraveling.From Discipline to BingeingWhat began as a controlled “cheat meal” evolved into something far more intense:Weekend-long binge cyclesEating in secretHiding from clientsFeeling completely out of controlAnd then came the realization that changed everything:“I can't stop.”Not because I didn't know what to do —but because something deeper was driving the behavior.The Missing Piece: The Nervous SystemThis is where everything shifted.I realized:If someone like me — with this much knowledge, discipline, and experience — is struggling…This isn't about food.It's about the nervous system.It's about safety.It's about patterns happening beneath awareness.I also saw the same pattern in the people I was working with:They could follow a plan.They could get results.But the moment the structure disappeared…They went right back to old habits.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

What if your “diet” had nothing to do with food… and everything to do with what you're surrounded by?In this episode, I expand the definition of diet beyond what's on your plate — and into your environment, your conversations, and even your social media feed.Because every single thing you consume is sending a signal to your body: safety or stress.Your Environment Is Part of Your DietDiet isn't just what I eat.It's what I watch.What I listen to.Who I spend time with.What I scroll.Every input my body receives is interpreted by my nervous system — and it responds accordingly.-Safety → regulation, healing, balance-Fear → cortisol, stress, protection modeI can be doing everything right with food…and still feel stuck…because my environment is keeping my body in a state of fear.Social Media & The Fear LoopI might be nourishing my body with whole foods, tuning into my hunger cues, and doing the work…But then I open my phone —and suddenly I'm being told:-“Don't eat this”-“That food is dangerous”-“This will spike your insulin”-“That will ruin your hormones”And just like that, my body shifts.Not because of the food…but because of the fear.This constant exposure creates confusion, overwhelm, and disconnection from my own body.The First Step Back to SafetyBefore anything else — before food rules, before strategies —my body needs to feel safe.And that begins with:-Stopping restriction-Letting go of control-Tuning back into my body-Choosing addition over subtractionBecause restriction signals scarcity.And scarcity signals danger.Cortisol: The Master HormoneAt the center of everything is cortisol — the hormone that responds to stress.It influences:-Insulin-Ghrelin (hunger)-Leptin (fullness)-Thyroid-And my entire internal environmentSo when my world feels unsafe — whether from food fear, social pressure, or internal dialogue — my body reacts accordingly.This is why healing isn't just about what I eat.It's about what my body believes is happening.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

I thought I understood why family stress could be so overwhelming—until one recent experience completely shifted my perspective. What I discovered changed not only the way I see my family, but also the way I understand emotional eating. If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for food after a difficult conversation or family gathering, this episode may help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface.

One unplanned food choice can quickly turn into “I already blew it, so I might as well keep going.” In this episode, Georgie explains why eating-because-I-ate urges are a form of pain-relief eating: food is used to escape the guilt, fear, or disappointment caused by the previous eating.You'll learn how to interrupt the loop with a simple response, and why dietary imperfection is a skill worth practising. Georgie also shares practical steps for stopping the escalation without restricting, compensating, or turning one imperfect moment into an entire day of eating.In this episode:Why one off-plan choice can trigger more eatingHow guilt and shame fuel the urgeWhat “damage control” actually meansWhy compensation makes the cycle worseHow to practise dietary imperfectionWhat to do in the moment when “might as well” appearsFor coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood drivers of cravings — insulin — and why what you've been told about sugar, discipline, and willpower is only part of the story.This is where science meets self-awareness.Because once you understand what's actually happening in your body…you stop blaming yourself.Insulin — The Hormone That Keeps You AliveBefore we talk about cravings, we need to understand insulin.Insulin is not the enemy.It's a survival hormone.It's released by the pancreas when your blood sugar rises, and its job is to:→ Store energy so your body can use it laterThat storage happens in two ways:First as glycogen (stored sugar)Then as fat if there's excessWithout insulin, I wouldn't survive.None of us would.What Actually Drives a CravingHere's the truth most people haven't been taught:Cravings are not caused by sugar aloneThey're driven by a rapid DROP in insulinWhen insulin spikes and then crashes, my body reads that as:“We need energy — now.”That's when cravings hit.Not because I lack discipline.But because my body is responding exactly how it's designed to.Why I Might Be Craving Without Eating SugarI could be:Avoiding sweetsChoosing sugar-free optionsDrinking diet sodasUsing stevia or monk fruit…and still experiencing cravings.Why?Because my body responds not just to sugar…but to the taste of sweetness itself.The Anticipation EffectWhen I taste something sweet, my brain signals:“Sugar is coming.”So my body prepares.→ Insulin is released in anticipationEven if there are:Zero caloriesNo actual sugarMy body still reacts.And when insulin drops…

Your binge on sweets may have started before you even ate the chocolate.You craved chocolate, but chose fruit, almonds and a protein bar instead. Now you're full, still unsatisfied and thinking about chocolate even more.In this episode, I explain why avoiding the food you actually want can lead to overeating later and how honouring a craving can help you feel satisfied and move on.You'll learn:Why fullness and satisfaction are differentHow “healthier” substitutes can make food noise louderWhy being overly full can trigger a bingeHow guilt turns eating sweets into an all-or-nothing spiralHow to honour a craving without eating on autopilot

Text us a comment or question!This episode originally aired in February 2022. Diets have gotten a bad rap recently. And it's easy to see why. Research shows that the vast majority of dieters who lose weight gain it all back within 12 months, and sometimes with a little extra as an added bonus. More people than ever before are overweight, and more people than ever before are going on diets. What's going on here? That fact that Americans collectively lose millions of pounds every year would suggest that diets do in fact work. So why are we continually struggling with long term sustainable weight loss? What if diets aren't addressing the real problem? Us humans are complex emotional creatures, and we eat for a wide variety of reasons. We eat when were hungry of course, but we also eat to celebrate holidays and special occasions, when we're out with family and friends. But there's a darker side to why we eat. Many of us unconsciously eat to numb painful emotions and feelings – we eat when we're anxious, sad, depressed, and overwhelmed. Sand eating in this way ultimately brings on more pain, more feelings of shame, humiliation, and guilt – which feeds into a vicious downward spiral. And the best diet in the world isn't going to address the root of this problem. My guest today is Tricia Nelson. Tricia is the internationally acclaimed author of the book “Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now” and is an emotional eating expert who has helped thousands of people heal their relationships with food. Join us this week as Tricia shares her personal journey of recognizing and overcoming her own emotional eating disorder, why dieting won't help you overcome emotional eating, how to know if you are an emotional eater, and if so, what steps you can take to gain control of your life and your health.   You can connect with Tricia in the following ways:Website: https://www.healyourhunger.com/Heal You Hunger Podcast: https://www.healyourhunger.com/heal-your-hunger-2/Book - Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1521101108/TedX Talk – Heal Your Hunger – What If Weight Loss Isn't About Food? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVSe2vaxXXMInstagram - @tricianelson_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HealYourHungerFB Group Secret Sauce to End Emotional Eating - https://www.facebook.com/groups/secretsaucetoendemotionaleatingAre you and emotional eater quiz - https://www.healyourhunger.com/are-you-an-emotional-eater-or-food-addict/

In this episode, we're talking about pain relief urges: the urge to eat because something hurts and food feels like the fastest way out. That pain might be physical, emotional, or both stacked together — and food may genuinely offer comfort for a little while. But comfort is not the problem. Cost is the question.We'll look at how to tell when food comfort stays low-cost versus when it turns into a high-cost binge, and how to build a wider comfort plan that includes physical care, sensory soothing, connection, movement, expression, and support from other people. Because pain is a normal part of life, but you don't have to meet it with only one tool.This week's experiment: look back over the last seven days and notice what kinds of pain or discomfort showed up most often. If you used food for comfort, ask how much it cost you — then build a lower-cost comfort plan with at least two options, one of which can be food if you feel confident keeping it reasonable.For coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.

I binged for over 10 years. Fine all day, out of control at night, promising myself Monday would be different — the exact cycle so many of you are living right now.In this episode of Dieting From The Inside Out, I'm breaking down what actually ended it. It wasn't more willpower and it wasn't a stricter plan — it was fixing what was running underneath the binges. I'll walk you through the subconscious patterns that kept me stuck, how I reprogrammed them, and what that means for you if eating feels impossible some nights.‣ Apply to Join Dieting From The Inside Out Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com?utm_source=podcast‣ Grab the Food Noise Solution Guide Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com/food-noise?utm_source=podcast

Autopilot urges happen when your brain recognizes a familiar scene and says, “This is when we eat,” or “This goes with food.” These urges can show up as snacking, grazing, emotional eating, or a full binge before you feel like you've really chosen anything.In this episode, we'll look at why certain places, activities, times of day, and transitions can trigger automatic eating patterns. We'll talk about why these urges often appear when we're stressed and want to check out, or when we finally relax and want to stop putting effort into anything.We'll also explore why separating food from entertainment can help you enjoy both more. When eating happens on autopilot, you may consume the food without actually receiving much pleasure or satisfaction from it.This week's experiment: choose one automatic eating script, such as TV and snacks, road trips and candy, or after-dinner sweets. Name the script, ask whether the activity would still be good without the usual snacks in tow, and audition one guardrail — a new choreography, substitute, or environmental change — to help your brain practice a different route.For help with binge eating recovery, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

In this episode, I'm answering a handful of questions that come up again and again around GLP-1 medications and binge eating. Maybe you're on one right now and still working out what it means for you. Or maybe you're considering starting one and aren't sure what to expect. Either way, I get into what these medications can actually do, what they can't touch, and what it really takes to feel at peace with food, whether you use one or not.What you'll discover:Why a GLP-1 is a tool, but never the only oneWhat these medications can quiet, and what stays underneathWhat determines whether old patterns return when you stopWhat no medication can touch, no matter how much weight changesIf you've ever wondered whether using a GLP-1 means you didn't really do the work, or you're on one and still don't feel at peace with food, this episode is for you.If you would like to explore getting support with your eating challenges, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?
