[@colleenmcentee6944]

Unfortunately my binge lasted 6 months. Once I start really tough to get back. Started back a week ago and already feel so much better, physically and mentally. Glad to put the crazy behind me. Love your calm and gentle way to explain and teach❤

[@frikfourie3095]

Same thing happened to me It is much more difficult the 2nd time but not impossible thank God!

I'm so crying right now. My binge lasted 3 months and I gained 50 pounds. Ur comment gave me hope.

[@jodymcgraw8732]

Same here. All the best!

[@mimisano5916]

Dr. Becky, I just love your soothing voice. It makes me feel like everything will be okay.

[@Joy80JJ]

Consistency over Perfection!! I messed up plenty of times in my low carb journey...however I promised myself to get right back on the horse...staying consistent without perfection helped me lose & maintain 80lbs.

[@beckygillaspy]

Congratulations, Joy80!

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

The TAKE ACTION message is so important...THANKS

[@MadamAngelique]

I binge once each month…a few days before my period. It’s overpowering. The rest of the month, my macros are on point.

[@carolyntargaryen1766]

Dr. Becky, in my humble little opinion, your video's about achieving healthy weight loss are the absolute best because it isn't just about what we eat and how much of it we eat.......there is so much more to it, and I am so grateful for you that you address every aspect of it!

[@mariannejane1448]

She sure does x

[@beckygillaspy]

Thank you, Carolyn!

[@richardkersey8993]

My wife thought I was crazy when I began my new low carb lifestyle on Nov.1. I did allow myself to eat some of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes with more carbohydrates but next day was back to the new normal. Gave myself 2 days at Christmas. Actually felt horrible after having some Christmas cookies. Seems the sugar was a shock to my system. They made it even easier to go back to my new normal the next day! Down 34 pounds in 3 months. And below 200 for first time in many years. I wrestled in high school at 181lbs and hope to be back at that weight this summer. Regardless I am determined that this lifestyle is permanent.😎

[@deb9806]

Me too I felt a little sick with so much this past holiday. I did enjoy some pasta but the cookies, 2 were enough. No weight gain so I was happy.

[@beckygillaspy]

Congrats, Richard!

[@richardkersey8993]

@@beckygillaspy thank you! And happy to add that I had my physical today and received my doctor’s blessings on not taking Atorvastatin. (Had stopped on my own and cholesterol is ok without it.) And weaning off of blood pressure medication!

[@chrissyellem7397]

I had 2 slices of cake and was so sick. My son now says when I want to cheat-"Remember the cake Mom!" lol

[@margrose5]

Good for you. Hope you are still doing well with healthy eating.

[@suzylegal]

Just when I needed it, Dr. Becky!! Being a caregiver for my husband recently as he tries to recover from a serious illness, I have been comforting myself with every possible sugary treat I can get my hands on. I can tell I feel worse because of it.....achy joints, lack of energy, mood swings....I continue to do it. I so needed your "permission" to be imperfect today and to just "get on the boat and push away from the dock"!! And the reminder to "add as I subtract" was something I needed to hear, too! Thank you! Love to Dr. Keith!!

[@singit3630]

Calm, soothing, most motivating 10 minutes EVER! Thanks DocB!

[@dpm5519]

Perfect timing Dr Becky. I’m just coming off a binge. I’ve unfortunately been here before. Usually takes 2-3 days of eating properly to start feeling better and before adding in exercise. The hardest part for me is sticking with nutrition and exercise. Hard to explain because it makes me feel great and binge eating does exactly the opposite. Thanks for the video.

[@fitfoodieliana8950]

I’ve watched and listened to thousands of videos on B.E.D. And this was by far my favorite because it gave good tips and not the ones that everyone already knows. Thank you.

[@cathygarner8234]

All I can say is THANK YOU! I am one who has read books and watched videos, but I have failed to apply the knowledge obtained. It is time for me to take action, not just sit and watch videos on how to eat low carb. I have faltered many times but I am ready to stop the binge. You did an awesome job explaining how we binge, and how to stop the binge. THANK YOU!!!

[@cindyfoley1675]

Thanks Dr. Becky, liked the story of the 3 students

[@debbielandes2626]

Wish I could give it 100 👍! As a science geek I love the explanations behind the hunger after refined carbs. After 50 years of yo-yo dieting I have found low carb eating. This is something I thought I could never do since I was severely carb addicted. I’m still learning my way. Thanks for your help through the hands on learning!

[@rodneybooth4069]

Ditto!

[@beckygillaspy]

Thank you, Debbie!

[@ThePrimal.Podcast]

Thanks Dr Becky for sharing this message about binging. Binging is more than just the physical act of eating, it's a soothing mechanism to heal emotional trauma. My sister went through this at a young age, binging then throwing up sugar and junk food. Inner healing is what's required to resolve the binging🤓

[@dougalvis]

After 5 months of LCHF diet + IF, Yesterday I hit exactly 50 lbs lost & want to say Thanks to you & Dr Keith for all the wonderful info & inspiration! Totally relate to this video because last Sunday I took my wife out to eat & we binged by ordering whatever we wanted + chocolate cake for dessert. The next day I had no energy & felt too bad to do any exercise whatsoever. The FitBit app showed that the cake alone was 700 calories. Lesson learned - never again! 🤞

[@kittkatdavis1437]

Always such good information and talking to us with compassion and grace!

[@betaren21]

I’m a sailor. Love your analogy!!

[@barneyrubble4827]

Boy, she is describing my eating life for last 40 yrs. Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting has been a godsend but eventually struggling returned, difficulty controlling portions and dipping into contraband. The big salad with nuts, cheese, olives, mushrooms, etc is the anchor for my body and my mind. Most importantly, watching health videos on KZbin is serving as my emotional anchor, sort of like support meetings. I watch mostly before bed when my cravings are worst. It helps me remember what I really want rather than what I crave.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

So good Becky, thank you! After 10 yrs of success and even as an educator myself, I’ve been badly off track. I don’t want to be a hypocrite and teach what I’m not practising. I get it completely about the information….. bless you and your ministry

[@marcijlo]

Dr Becky love the stories and you are the voice in my head! Take care to you and Dr Keith!

[@markkoons7488]

You're right up there with Dr. Sten Eckberg only more personable. Thank you.

[@silverfox5732]

Wow this story was truly inspiring I was just sharing with my daughter that I had so many people I was learning from that it becoming overwhelming so I deleted a few and started applying what I already knew and of course I still listen to your channel 😊

[@michellefinley5993]

Great timing. I worked really hard all Jan and then weighed myself to a 4 pound weight loss total! Made me so mad I’ve now binged for 1 solid week. Totally stupid.

[@acprive]

I’ve been doing intermittent fasting and cutting carbs for a year. I eat at noon and 5:00pm. Healthy, mostly keto recipes and foods. I am totally addicted to potato chips. I could live off them I’m sure. I eat one bag every Friday night. I refuse to give up the one food I love. I am down almost 40 pounds and still dropping steadily. I look at it this way, if I can have my bag of chips guilt free and still lose the weight it’s ok. I love your videos btw 😊

[@deb9806]

For me it's popcorn. ; ) I lost 30 but don't indulge as often. I also have cheat days every month or so.

[@whaaat3632]

Mine is bread. Just started back on Keto and planning my first cheat in 5 weeks. Every lifestyle needs a break now and then.

[@deniseb2571]

Perfect timing for me! I decided yesterday to get back on track. Recent major chocolate bing! 🤷 Thanks Dr Becky for the encouragement 😊

[@DashingPartyCrasher]

Dark chocolate is good for you, if it's at least 80 or 85 percent pure cocoa, and you don't eat more than a recommended serving, or a little less if you're counting calories. If you aren't used to that kind of less sweet chocolate, you'll get to like it after a while. Everything else will start to taste too sweet.

[@vevi457]

I'm currently slipping into old habit and thank heavens I saw this video. Thank you Dr. Becky!

[@sandrasatterfield4432]

"Fasting should never be seen as a punishment for messing up"...... Really great advice!!!!! Thank you

[@darcypalmer7783]

Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much about how my brain and body react to different kinds of food. In January I did the 21 day challenge. Now I am following your 0, 1,2,3 strategy. I feel much better, am not falling asleep in the afternoons, have less fibromyalgia pain, and more clarity of mind. It helps tremendously that I can watch one or two of your videos every day to keep me on track. Once I've watched them all I'll start over. Thanks again for providing resources and good reasons for eating healthy.

Great to hear, Darcy!

So glad I found your channel! I’m an emotional eater, several weeks after a home invasion I ate a whole bag of Doritos and was shocked when I realized the bag was empty. I don’t think I even tasted them! Now that I recognize the signs I’ll be more aware.

What an awesome summary of the reality of weight loss: The only true teacher you can count on is action. Your action. Not some secret hidden somewhere waiting to be discovered. I am a fan of yours and videos like this is the reason why. Thank You

[@beckygillaspy]

Thank you, Ralph!

[@Tallinyc]

I feel like i just won the lottery of diet channels! That story with the students and your end remarks hit a chord in me. I must say, i think ive watched all of youtubes Dr's , nutritionists, experts, and influencer journeys and tried piecing all the information they gave together to make sense to me , and still came out confused. i couldn't figure out what Macro's were for the life of me, everyone talked about them but simply never explained what they are and how important they are with a calorie deficit. I always thought that only calories mattered, maybe some fat. but that was it. You are outstanding Dr. Becky!! Your words are simple , to the point and encouraging. you hit all the right doubts, questions, concerns , and information. Thank you and i cant wait to start my own journey and feel super hopeful for the first time in years, looking forward to more videos!!!

[@pambuck7043]

Such a GREAT Video! Thank you for the Lesson

[@rutimizrachi]

I got temporarily sidetracked by the chocolate question... but this is a really wonderful, helpful and encouraging video, with clear parameters. One of the best that I've seen!

[@dermotmcglinchey282]

Doctor Becky as always you are what decency and being a caring human being are about, moderation and above all logical thinking..I know I’m sounding a bit deep with some of the lunacy that has overcome some people, refusing to believe what their eyes and ears are telling them..However I digress , in recovery mode from a bulging L5 disc for the last 5 weeks, painful is a moderate description of what I went through but I’m getting there..I had become a little obsessed with exercise and keeping a tight reign on my weight, lost 25 kilos or about 55 lbs last year and had totally supercharged my health..Sounds a bit over the top but living on one of the best Canary Islands good fresh food was an easy option, but when I slipped the disc I had to curtail my exercise regime because the pain was ferocious at times..Surprisingly I didn’t gain a pound or kilo🥴, this in fact kept me optimistic and now I’m pushing myself a bit more everyday to do more..I credit wonderful people like you for the inspiration you modestly give us 👏👏, thank you so much and I hope your family are in good spirit.

[@magsrj340]

Thanks Dr. Becky.

[@michaelfortney7510]

Very true. We are all so different while also being the same. You have to find what works best for you. There will be mistakes, just learn from them and don’t repeat them.

[@lucysammut262]

Reading all the comments and listening to your video I’m feeling that me too I need to get back on track ….. last summer I lost 15 kilos , and last November my mum had a stroke and ended up in hospital so what happened was that with all the running about to the hospital I lost control on my self and finding excuses to get on track again ….. but I’m going to try again because I have gain 8 kilos back in 3 months , I was so happy with the weight loss and now all I want to do is bake cakes and cheesecake’s and I’m in joying eating and in the same time feeling guilty… but I’m going to do my best and start again getting on track … thanks for your videos it gives me the strength and confidence to start again ..

[@gregjackson6612]

Binging vs hunger. I'm a senior on limited income and occasionally find a need to visit a food bank. Unfortunately the foods they provide are mostly what I try to avoid. Rather than go hungry, I'm forced into a semi-binge scenario for a short time. This video should help to recover. I do fast 18 hrs/eating 6 hrs and it suits my needs very well. I'll put your information to use on the next binge. Thanks.

Hi Dr. Becky, thank you for another great video! Last year, somewhere in one of your videos I saw a recipe for Chicken pecan chicken salad recipe. It involved using a food processor. I can't find the recipe anywhere now and I'd really like to try it. I bought your cookbook in the hopes that it would be there but it was not. Can you tell me where I can find it, please? Thanks and keep up the great work!!!

[@kham7571]

Dr Becky, this was fantastic! Great advice and loving direction. Stop researching and just do it! I will definitely re watch this after my “human” slip ups! I am going to think of salads differently now. Fascinating information on how our bodies operate as far as fullness and obtaining correct nutrition. The fasting advice can be incorporated in any healthy eating program. The sailboat story was so true. I was a straight A student of radiology imaging, but struggled at first in my internship. I had to just get over my fears, and do it! All was well. Take care. From OC,CA.

[@jspyrogram]

My binge started five months ago, gained almost 20 lbs back! It’s so depressing I get sick while eating a piece of cake.
