PSA: Binge eating is NOT a result of poor control

PSA: Binge eating is NOT a result of poor control or lack of discipline‼️

In fact, the more we restrict and try to control our foods, the more susceptible we are to binging 🤯

Why is this? 💭

When we tell ourselves we can’t have a certain food, it only intensifies our desire and craving for this food. The more we continue to do this, the more these feelings intensify until the inevitable happens - we lose control and we binge.

After a binge, it’s likely that you will feel ashamed or guilty. It can be common for us to then try and tighten the reigns even further, and restrict even more 🚫

If you can relate this this, you may be caught in what’s called the “binge-restrict” cycle 🌪

This cycle can be very difficult to break, and unfortunately can result in a poor relationship with food and our bodies.

If you are caught up in the binge-restrict cycle, our experienced dietitians can help you on this journey. You can book a free 15-minute discovery call by following the link in our bio 📲

🎈3 Tips to minimise bloating 🎈 Bloating is

🎈3 Tips to minimise bloating 🎈

Bloating is one of the most common symptoms we see here in clinic!

While bloating may be caused by many different factors such as an underlying intolerance or food sensitivity, bloating symptoms can often be reduced by implementing a few simple first-line strategies! 👇🏻

1️⃣ Chew your food until apple sauce consistency, or about 20 times per mouthful.
Chewing kick starts the digestive process, which means that the gut doesn’t have to work quite as hard to break everything down!

2️⃣ Be mindful of your portion sizes.
Eating larger volumes of food can be a common cause of bloating. Instead, try to eat 6 smaller meals throughout the day!

3️⃣ Be cautious of swallowing excess air.
Chewing gum, drinking through straws, drinking carbonated drinks and talking while eating can all lead to swallowing excess air - which can lead to more bloating!

If you are experiencing constant bloating that doesn’t go away, you may need to chat with your GP about this.

If you’re wanting to improve uncomfortable gut symptoms, our experienced dietitians can help. You can book a free 15-minute discovery call by heading to the link in our bio! 📲
