Binge Eating Is Not A Form Of Dieting

For the most part, discussion dieting and one's diet is centered around what to and, of course, what not to eat. This type of discussing is worthy, but many times it only circles around the root point of diet and dieting. There needs to be discussion about eating habits along with any strategy concerning diet and dieting.

When you should and shouldn't eat. That is as important as what you eat. Why is it important? It is important because you don't want to binge eat. You don't want to eat a whole bunch of food at one time. This isn't good for you.


A typical scenario would be for you to skip any breakfast... and lunch is completely paltry (or vise versa). Maybe something to drink along the way. Maybe some crackers... maybe not. By the time you get home from work you are so hungry suddenly everything looks good. So everything it is. And as a result, you overeat. From there, all you can muster up is to watch a bit of TV and you even fall asleep doing that.

So, eating all three of your daily meals in one sitting isn't the same for you as eating three separate meals during the day? Nope... not hardly. Your body isn't prepared to handle that type of all at once digesting and it is not healthy.

All you are doing is over loading your body. The real risk of binging is this. You will end up eating things that you shouldn't be eating. You will end up eating a ton of fast food or other food that is high and fat and easy to obtain. Why is this?

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.

Smaller meals more often is by far a healthier habit and better strategy for you. In fact, it is even a good idea to have a small snack between your smaller meals (provided you take the time to make sure it is a healthy snack). The idea is that with your eating habits and your diet that you keep your body at a consistent level of nourishment and energy level while avoiding the sling shot effects of starving and then binge eating at the other end.

The key thing to remember is to eat healthy snacks. Eat things that make your feel good, not things that are loaded with fat. Things that are loaded with fat will only make you feel drained and make you want to snack more.

Changing your eating habits to having three smaller meals per day is the goal. Even if you seem to struggle to do this, be patient and persistent... do not allow the binge eating cycle to get started.

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.
