Why am I suddenly binge eating? How can I stop?
Hi Jenni, sometimes don't you feel like there is an on-off switch on your body regarding the binge habit? And I think that your behavior has turned into a habit, somewhat like an alcoholic...only with food. Yes, psychiatry would probably help, but I think you should try to get this under control on your own if you cannot afford to see a psychiatrist at the moment. Start by breaking the behavior. Find something else to do late at night and replace the bad behavior with this. Try reading or puzzles or taking a warm bath or doing something nice for yourself...make a conscious effort to do this when the urge tries to overtake you to eat. I think that perhaps the food is your reward for doing the exercise. Reward yourself in a different way other than food.
How do I lose 5 kgs in a month?
Remember, when uncle Ben said ?With faster weight loss, you might have muscle loss as well, Peter :)So, you have a goal in your mind, 5 KG in a month. That is good you are willing to get into a shape. I am trying to do the same.There are few things you can follow, I will not say to stay away from junk food and all. When it comes to weight loss there is only one thumb rule.Stay in caloric deficit (Calorie restriction) to loose weightDo following things to loose weightCalculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) online. Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimal caloric requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. This is the amount of energy your body would burn if you slept all day (24 hours).So this will be you basic requirement to maintain your current weight. All you need to do is consume less amount of calories that your BMR.That is all you need to do in order to loose weight. But you add some physical activities to burn more calories likeExerciseRunningWalking e.t.cSo the key point is everything is based on your diet. There are certain way by which you can do that.You can divide you overall meals in 4 or 6 parts (according to your caloric consumption) and have it in day.Ketogenic diet : The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet . The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.Intermittent fasting : IF is not a diet, it is pattern of eating. In which you will be fasting for 16 to 18 hours of day and eating for 8 to 6 hours of day. This seems difficult in a start but as time will go you will find it more easy and efficient.I am not giving any explanation because you will find tons of things on google about them explaining in scientific details.So, this was about loosing weight/ fat. Now moving to your question. Suppose you loose 5 KG in a month by starving yourself (which is not good), what after that ? what after a month? Will you go back to your regular routine and gain weight ?My point is don’t keep it for a specific month or time period, it is always better to incorporate in your life. Once you get in descent shape then you can think about putting on some muscle mass as well.If you don’t know where to start there are tons of article on Internet and thousands of videos on YouTube. You can always learn.Thanks for reading. I hope this will help. let me know your points, I am learning as well.Image source Google
