In this video, I explain the often overlooked perils of moderation for those dealing with binge eating and food addiction. While moderation is frequently adopted as a universal solution for eating habits, it can be a hidden trap for those struggling with binge eating and food addictions.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
The addictive food moderation myth: Breaking down why the advice to “eat all foods in moderation” doesn’t hold up for everyone, especially those with food addiction.
Why moderation can fail: Insights into how moderate consumption can lead to increased cravings and binge cycles, making recovery even more challenging.
Biological backfire: How even small amounts of trigger foods can hijack the brain’s reward system, intensifying the urge to eat more.
The abstinence solution: Why a complete avoidance of trigger foods might be a more effective strategy for some, offering freedom from the cycle of binge eating.
My personal experience: Combining personal experiences with scientific research to illustrate why moderation might not be the golden rule for recovery.
If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated by the common advice of moderation, or if you feel trapped in a cycle of binge eating and compulsive eating despite your best efforts to control your portions, this video is for you.
Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and alternative approaches like abstinence might just be the key to a healthier relationship with food.
