Hi hello! Welcome back to Behind The Binge Podcast.
Last week I had a discovery call with someone who was interested in my coaching program. She was skeptical about my methods since another intuitive eating coach told her to just eat whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and she would eventually stop binge eating...
She was told that any sort of structure on her journey to healing her relationship with food is restrictive.
After releasing all rules and trying to just "listen to her body", she was left feeling overwhelmed, out-of-control with food, and bingeing more than ever...🥴
Well, I'm here to tell you that my jaw almost hit the floor 😱 when she told me this because this is absolutely not true, and this type of advice could lead someone who struggles with binge eating to get stuck in an even deeper binge spiral. Binge eating already in and of itself is highly chaotic, so adding in advice that is also pretty chaotic is a recipe for disaster, to say the least.
So in todays episode I want to share:
- When structure and planning can support binge eating recovery
- What a structured approach might look like
- When structure might not be so helpful
- How to eat intuitively while still having structure
