Do you have a list of foods that you fear, cause anxiety, that are forbidden?

Do you feel like 1 particular food is going to make you fat, stop you making progress, reverse your progress?

Having strict food rules rather than general guidelines, dieting with too much restriction, living without flexibility are risk factors for Binge Eating Disorder.

Try to remember that no food in isolation will cause you to gain weight, the same way that no food in isolation will cause you to lose weight.

Step back and look at the whole puzzle, not just 1 piece.

This page is a blog - 5 Proven Steps to that will help you stop binge eating - by Dr Jake Linardon, who specialises in eating disorders.

The blog includes comments, questions and his answers at the bottom, as well as a free ebook download.

Even if you don't consider yourself at risk, I would encourage you to read the blog and the ebook as there are also sections on journaling, identifying stress and planning non-food actions and planning joyful activities.

Both the blog and ebook are short reads and will probably take less than 30 minutes out of your week.

We would love it if you are open to adding comments about things that have helped you, might help others and foods which you have successfully shifted off your forbidden list.
