Emotional Eating and Binge Eating: Why your diet might not be working

Emotional eating, binge eating and compulsive eating can sabotage any attempts at weight loss!

Read more at my blog: www.thingenious.com


The data shows that diets have a 99.5% failure rate....but most of us don't need studies to tell us that!

We tend to think there is something wrong with US when we don't get to our goal weight. This video explores the scientifically proven 7 Reasons why Diets Don't Work. Emotional eating and binge eating cannot be remedied by being handed a list of foods to eat and avoid. It just doesn't work unfortunately.

The goal is in NO way to bash diets..if they work for you great..the goal IS for the other 99.5% of us to give evidence that it is NOT YOUR FAULT...if you are binge eating or emotional eating and more stressed out and out of control with food..those are the natural documented results of restricting.

In future videos we are going to look at step by step ways to make peace with food.

There is hope! Emotional eating and binge eating are habits we learned that can be un-learned just as ...well...easily!

Enjoy!

ive had issues with it for years but when the guilt sets in, i do anything i can to get rid of what i've done. ive seen councellors etc but none have helped at all.. i guess they just think coz im not overweight or underweight that it doesnt matter. wish i knew how to stop.

@Kystargenious That makes a lot of sense and must feel really frustrating to not feel like you are being taking seriously or that your pain matters less because you are not overweight or underweight. In an upcoming series I will be talking about how to "bounce back fast" after you slip up with food. Your pain is real and very important and that guilt that makes you do anything you can to get rid of it surely feels terrible. There are ways to stop that guilt in its tracks.

Intuitive eating only helps with gasping for food - do you at any point in your other videos address ways of dealing with the other types of non-hunger eating in the same depth and clarity you discuss intuitive eating? I've been working on intuitive eating with great success but I need some guidelines to help me battle the other types of non hunger eating that are holding me back! Thanks!

@randioactive You are absolutely right! Yes, intuitive eating only helps the gasping for food. In future videos as well as in my audio series I address the underlying issues and solutions to the other types . I recognize that those do nothing to help you today!! So in the meantime..I give an introduction in the Non-Diet Solution Overview video and I also provide individual coaching over the phone/skype here: intuitiveeatingcoach.blogspot(­dot)com Hope this helps!

Your videos make me instantly feel better! Im only 20 but have battled with food for about ten years! I re-watch your vids all the time lol

So glad your back! xxx

@miriamou I was 9 when I started the nuttiness with food...so about the same age as you. Well I love that you are only 20 and can make peace with food MUCH younger than I did!! Thanks for your super kind note and sorry for my egregiously late response!!!

Great!! Good job in finding yourself! You are right, Numbers are a part of the diet game. Its hard to break that thinking!!!

@win2477 Hey there..geez sorry for the long delay in responding! Thanks so much for being glad that I'm back. Yes it is my plan to work my way through the five types of non hunger eating and the solutions I found.

@cecehong Hahaha this really made me laugh! I know we all sound insane when we talk about some of the dieting stuff we've done!!! Thanks for your kind and funny note!

[josielenore]

@sabrenanomani Hey there!! Thanks so much I am glad that you are enjoying this new world! I don't weigh myself (an old dieting behavior that would trip up my old nutty diet-thinking!!) ....but I went from like a size 12 to a size 0 skirt. Hope this helps and thanks again for your kind note!

[sabrenanomani]

Hey!!

Your videos are really helping me and I appreciate you opening up to the world. Its nice to see someone like me. If you don't mind me asking, how much have you lost doing intuitive eating vs. Dieting/binging?

Thanks,

Sabrena
