Why does binge eating occur?
.
RESTRICTION.
.
When you restrict your food, you’re telling your body that there is a famine. Your body becomes deprived of the essential nutrients and calories it needs to function.
.
So In order to protect you from starvation, when food becomes available you binge.
.
This is not a lack of willpower.
This is a physiological, natural response.
.
This doesn’t just occur during physical deprivation, but emotional deprivation as well. Our minds are extremely powerful. Have you ever noticed that when you tell yourself, “I’m never eating chocolate again!” All you can think about is chocolate? Emotional deprivation.
.
At the beginning of a binge you may feel happy, it may be pleasurable and you may feel free because you can enjoy the freedom of eating whatever you want. Then this is followed by a loss of control, you begin to feel guilt or shame. You want to “feel thinner,” so the restriction begins again.
.
Thus the cycle continues.
.
You must give yourself unconditional permission to eat. Remove physical and emotional deprivation.
If anyone’s doubting themselves today, I just want to give you hope that food can just be food again. Even when it feels SO HARD, you will make it through. Pancakes can be just pancakes and you can eat them with maple syrup and butter and banana slices and almond butter and you don’t have to count calories forever and live by strict food rules. I mean this plate is all yellow!! That would have even caused me anxiety a few years ago. What got me through the hard days and keeps me motivated even when I’m feeling ”meh” in a body I don’t love 100% (but I’m working on it who isn’t?!) is knowing that I’m free to live my life for ME. I’m free to live free from my diet. I’m free from the guilt and shame I felt around food and my body nearly every second of every day. I may not love everything about this body and this relationship with food, but it’s MINE. It’s perfectly imperfect just like ME It may not be perfect, but Food Freedom gave me a way out from the binge-restrict cycle and I’ll never be more grateful for that ❤️ I laugh, smile, experience pure joy and all the emotions - instead of feeling numb and helpless like I did before. I hope you have the best day, babe. Have hope. Know that things WILL get better. And they don’t have to be perfect to be better I’ll be finished with my newest blog post and podcast episode for you later today. This topic, just wow... IT’S A GOOD ONE xoxox, Bree

Mindless eating is the fastest path to being in a calorie surplus. When you're not totally aware of what you're eating and the quantities, it soon all adds up.
.
♀Getting into the habit of being mindful of food will be one of your greatest tools in life! Honestly, that's a bold claim but it is one we stand by. Nail these five simple mindful eating swaps and you'll notice a difference in how you feel and your relationship with food.
.
Don't be scared to go against the grain. Who says lunch has to be midday if you're not actually hungry? Why do you have to eat every last thing on your plate? Because there are "starving kids in Africa" as your mum used to say, right?
.
Why not take the time to actually eat. Eating while working or watching or doing other stuff means your mind isn't on your eating at all.
.
Food can be such a pleasure and not just a necessity. Give it the respect it deserves and takes your time eating, at a table, the amount you feel like eating at a time that your body feels hungry.

I feel drained and overwhelmed with emotion - or at least I did. These last two months have been confronting. ⛈
.
Like most men, I’ve always struggled to share my feelings and emotions until it’s eaten me up inside. I’ve been on the pursuit of vulnerability for years, and although I’ve made huge steps in counselling, these last two months were the most vulnerable of my life. And it was terrifying. ♂️
.
I took a big break from Instagram, my main social platform for work because the newfound vulnerability and transparency I wanted for my new website took the wind out of my sails more than I could have ever expected. I’ve known for a long time that I’d struggled with my self-worth from a young age. I speak with my psychologist about it regularly, as well as my partner. When it came to reflecting on how these experiences drive the passion for my work and sharing that on my website, the fear of vulnerability hit me like a tonne of bricks.
.
I’m sharing it with everyone. People I’m close with, people from school, followers, people I don’t even know. What are they going to think? How are they going to react? Am I okay with that? How do I explain to my family that I’m sharing the most intimate details of our life together? Will they even let me?
.
These thoughts were crippling. Having to take the thoughts I’d always known and put them on to paper. Having to call my Mum, Dad and brothers and say “hey, I need to talk to you about this”. Having to show this and talk to my closest friends about the struggles I’ve always had behind closed doors.
.
But as difficult as these two months have been, it’s also been a turning point. I’ve always known that despite male norms, vulnerability isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. Vulnerability is courage. There is no more hiding behind closed doors. To be the best partner, friend, coach, son, brother, person and maybe even one day father that I can be, I need to be more vulnerable. I want to be more vulnerable. I don’t want to live my life hiding how I feel and “getting by” being passively grumpy and snappy.

Sound familiar?
::
Hate to break it to you, but restrictive diets including huge calorie deficits or carb restriction, are a recipe for hormonal disaster.
::
Diets that restrict macronutrients or energy (aka calories) are BIOLOGICALLY INACCURATE.
::
Meaning that, it forces your body into a very compromising position to break itself down for food.
::
“Oh wait Jess...you mean when I stop putting fuel in my mouth, my body has to MAKE it?”
::
What do you think you’re living off of...air?
::
The minute you get off your 1200 cal diet, or tie carbs back in or have a binge because your body is deprived, the stress from that period of restriction is lifted.
::
Your body is getting the fuel it needs for the first time in days, weeks or months and it does what anyone would do after a period of deprivation, HOARD LIKE HELL.
::
Fat is fuel stored for later. That’s it. And if you’re body thinks another famine is coming, it will def store fuel for later.
::
Because, girl, your body is S M A R T. And it takes the information we offer it and decides what it needs to do to survive.
::
You might be asking, What about if I’m overweight?
::
A stupid way to lose weight is by convincing your body it’s starving and make it open up fat cells rapidly under duress. Stress hormones are playing a role in this and metabolic healing does not take place.
::
The smart way is to make the metabolism work more efficiently by optimizing hormones and increasing the body’s need for fuel, so the body naturally opens up fat cells because it needs to burn what’s inside of them.
::
The only way to do this is to HONOR YOUR BODY. Stop manipulating it, stop fighting it and lean it to its wisdom.
::
Listen and love. That’s it. It needs SAFETY.
::
Want to lose the weight and keep it off? Eat the nutrients you need from the places you need them from. Move. Get outside. Sleep well. Live in abundance. Enjoy yourself. Have fun.
::
Are you sick of the binge restrict cycle? I was too!
And the burgers with no buns and the guac with no chips and the tacos with no tortillas and the sushi with no rice
We’re all in a rush to diet and get our dream bodies and then once we get into a restrictive dieting mess we’re in a rush to have “balance”. I had to learn that I could nourish my body with unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods without being restrictive. BUT THAT TOOK TIME.
Balance is so hard guys!!! It’s so hard when you’ve been stuck in extremes your whole life with food. But I’ve discovered that while it’s hard to find, the BALANCE DOES EXIST!
It just takes way more time to get there than I thought it would ♀️ examples:
1️⃣I had to learn that sugar was not evil. And in the process of allowing myself to eat sugar again, I had to go to the other extreme of eating ALL the sugar for a long time it’s not like I wanted it to be like that, but it’s what happened!
2️⃣I had to do the same thing with carbs, and fasting, and snacking and giving myself unconditional permission to eat all foods so I could BREAK the binge-restrict cycle.
But that all took so much practice and patience and not giving up on my part.
I had to pay attention to what:
✔️I was still restricting
✔️triggered a binge
✔️gave me anxiety around food
✔️made me not feel so good
✔️I actually enjoyed eating
I had to LEARN all of these things and that took time! More time than I wanted it too.
But there’s a space where it’s a no-brainer to eat veggies AND when it’s a no-brainer to eat ice cream after going out for sushi for dinner (last night )
IT EXISTS.
Every day we’re working towards THAT.
You deserve that.
It’s real.
That, to me, is Food Freedom.
