Whenever you head to the fridge and with an unavoidable urge to eat everything in sight, you probably don’t think about why you’re binging.  But the truth is, there are 3 main causes of binge eating:

1. Deprivation

When you don’t get enough to eat, eventually your body can’t take it anymore – and you start eating everything in sight.

2. Addiction

In many cases, your brain chemistry has evolved – and it actually depends on and craves certain foods.

3. Unresolved Emotions

When you’re trying to mask feelings, you turn to binge eating to make you feel better.  This is the classic “emotional eating”.

Now that you know what causes it, how do you stop binge eating?

To stop, you need a solution that addresses your particular reason for binging.  At Totell Wellness, our coaches can work with you to figure out exactly why you’re binging – and create a plan to stop it.

One of the most powerful Totell tools in the fight against binge eating is the Emotional Ammo deck. 

When you are not under stress, go through the deck and come up with an activity for each emotion.  For example, you may decide to read a book every time you’re anxious, or to play with your dog every time you’re afraid.  Then, when those emotions creep up, turn to your activities – instead of your refrigerator.
