5 tips to overcome binge-eating

By Rishabh Raj

1

Avoid restrictive diets

Extreme calorie-restricted diets can result in desires that make you overeat. When you restrict your food intake, you may become overly hungry, which can trigger a binge.

2

Increase fiber intake

Eating whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed foods which are high in dietary fiber can help you feel full and satisfied for a long time.

3

Create a meal plan

Plan what you will eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any snacks in between. Ensure you eat your meals and snacks at the same time each day, and try to stick to this schedule.

4

Manage your stress

Stress is a common trigger for binge eating. Healthy ways to manage stress, such as through exercise or meditation can help you avoid turning to food as a way to cope with stress.

5

Stay hydrated

Dehydration can increase cravings for sugar and other high-calorie foods, which can contribute to binge eating. Drinking enough water can help reduce these cravings.
