Hey people, I keep seeing ‘give tips for not bInging’ kind of posts so I wanted to make a master post of my tips while I have too much free time. 

-Weirdly (and I know most of us won’t be happy by hearing this) what helps with preventing the bInges the most is eating, but controlled eating. 

-Learn your own habits. Why do you bInge? For example; I mostly bInge while watching tv, during evening hours. Set up a plan according to your habits. You bInge during evenings? Adjust your f4sting hours to break your f4st during the evening, and plan ahead what you will be breaking your f4st with. 

-You bInge because you crave sweets? Have some fruit, protein bars or whatever sweet thing is (even if it’s only kind of) safe for you in your kitchen for emergencies. You bInge because you crave chips? Have some chickpeas or sliced cucumbers ready in your kitchen in case. Try to satisfy the craving with a better option before it turns into a bInge. 

-Try to condition your mind: if your mind says ‘I want to bInge on sweet things-’, you add up to that by saying ‘Okay, but only after I eat this peach. If I still want to bInge afterwards, then we will see’. 80 percent of the time, giving yourself time to think and getting some sugar in your bloodstream works. 

-If you are in a worse situation, where having a safe food won’t stop you, then the only thing that can help is not having high-kcal foods in the house. If you are in a family living situation where food is always present, then welp, there is nothing to do about this. You can just promise yourself to do better next time, then do better next time. 

-To do better next time: Pinpoint what got you to that point. Maybe you did a very long f4st before that bInge, or you did shorter f4sts back to back. Then shorten your f4sting times, or add more hours between f4sting. Not everyone can or has to do 4 day or a week long f4st, maybe that long isn’t for your body. There is no shame in it. 

-Perhaps you were triggered by emotional turmoil or an existing food in the house? This doesn’t come from a habit, but a situation, which is better(?) in a sense. If you are easily triggered by emotions, allow yourself a bit more calories than usual during emotional events or bad times. I am not talking about e4ting a bag of chips, but maybe having a handful of chips before the craving turns into a bInge. 

If you were triggered by existing food: Throw it away or give it away if you can. (I used to take food in my room to both look like I am e4ting, and to get rid of triggering food. Put them in a secret trash bag and cover them in either cigarette ashes or cat litter so I can’t stomach to eat them) 

-Another reason to bInge is losing motivation. Not easy, but try to remember where you started and why you are doing this. Put up thIInspo pics on the fridge or pantry if you can(I know it’s hard to do unless you are living alone). Make a ‘before bInge’ list in your diary/phone notes, and make a habit of reading it whenever you feel like bInging, write all the reasons you are doing this in there. 

-A quick fix tip for any of the above reasons: Get your hands dirty. Open a package of clay and dip your wet hands in it, start making something. Pour some cleaning product over the bathtub and get your hands in there. Wash the insides of your trashcan. Put vaseline on your hands (self-care?). Start a fingerpainting or oil painting. Anything that can cover or stain your hands that will make you unable to touch f00d, and will take time to wash it off works. This can help you; as you wash hands, you might be able to snap yourself out of it. 

-BInge attacking the fridge/pantry because of low blood sugar? Lie down, suck on a sugar cube. I am not talking about those 0 kcal gum or candy without real sugar. I am talking about an actual 19 kcal sugar cube people put in their tea and coffee. Let it melt under your tongue, then take small sips from a glass of water until it is done. Chances are you will feel too nauseous to bInge afterwards. 

Warning: These should be all taken with a grain of salt, because they are things that worked for me, but it might not be the same for everyone. Thank you for reading!

WL tips as someone who lost 30 kg in a year, then another 12 kg in the next year:

(Long post bc I am bored inside a bus)

-Plan a 0 kcal intake daily: my 0 kcal plan was/is having 1 cup of coffee, 2 cups of water, 2 cups of green tea and 1 cup of herbal tea of any kind. I am not allowed to have anything else until I drink all of these. It motivates me to drink more water and tea, on top of that I lose appetite while drinking so much stuff, it also takes me 6+ hours to drink this much. (more f4sting hours, yay!) 

-You might not be able to go for a walk or jog everyday, but you can walk inside your home everyday. Add small steps to your life; you have clothes to take to the laundry room? Take them one by one instead of taking them as a pile. Going down the stairs and no one is around? Go back up and then down again. Waiting for water to boil in the kitchen? Pace around. 

-48+ plus hours of f4sting makes you bInge? Just do 24 hours. 24 hours still makes you binge afterwards? Do 18 or 16 hours, everything is better than losing control. 

-Don’t fight with natural cravings, try to appease them, otherwise you will bInge and all of this won’t be sustainable. For example; if you know you will crave something sweet just before your period, instead of saying ‘I won’t have any sweets’ and not doing anything just to devour something unhealthy afterwards, prepare yourself something sweet and healthy like a fruit platter or a protein bar. If you give in and eat that protein bar, you will still feel less guilty and less out of control. 

-Keeping the feeling that you are in control is very important, otherwise you might lose motivation as well. 

-Don’t lose motivation when you maintain for a few days or even a week, maintaining is much better than gaining. And if you keep going that stubborn w4ight will go down as well, there is no way it doesn’t, l00sing w4ight is maths after all. 

-PurgIng and laxatives are not long term fixes. BP will make your body hold onto water on top of fking up your teeth and stomach lining. Chew and spIt if you must, but dont bp. Laxatives will work for awhile, maybe even for one or two years, but they will fck up your bowels so bad that you will end up not being able to take a shIt without them. Gut health is very important for wl, your guts are where calories are consumed. (Go for natural laxatives and fiber instead: coffee with lemon juice, dried figs with water, boiled sweet potatoes.) 

-Consistency is the key: 400 kcals every day of the week is better than f4sting for three days and then having 1200 kcals the rest of the week. 

-That being said, accept hiccups here and there: people will expect you to have a slice of cake on your birthday, they will be watching you during a vacation, of course you will have a few pieces of chocolate during easter. Going out with friends? They might force you to share a dessert with them maybe. You are not your dis0rder, you are a living human being with a life and sometimes you need to let yourself enjoy f00d if it is inevitable. This doesn’t mean let go and e4t everything during outings or anything, but don’t let guilt kill your motivation. Instead take it in with a ‘I had to eat xxxx yesterday, so I will do better today’ mindset. Preparing beforehand also lessens the guilt, like f4sting during the day if you have a dinner planned with friends. 

-Boredom e4ting is real, find low kcal things and only have them during those episodes if you can. Cucumbers, pickles, lettuce, nori snacks are all very low kcal. 

-Learn the hours or things that trIgger your bInges, avoid those things if you can, or schedule things to do in those hours. You can’t e4t at the same time if you are shaving your legs in the shower. 

-There is no magic wand, don’t expect your body to create miracles for you and just lose 10 kg in a week. The human body is actually coded to not lose more than 1 kg a week. Anything more than that is already a miracle, you are doing fine. WL just takes time, as annoying as it is. 

-Slow progress is actually better than fast progress, because fast means you might be just losing water w4ight, also the slower you lose that w4ight the harder it is for you to gain back, because your body gets accustomed to that w4ight. 

-Find safe foods and drinks for yourself and keep them under your hand at all times. 

-Sometimes you will have to cheat to do better: Allowing yourself a small piece of candy or a drink with kcals during your f4st to keep going is better instead of passing out and then having to eat. If you break your f4st you will consume more kcals after all. 

-Get people around you used to the fact that you are a person with no appetite, instead of letting them know that you are di4ting. When someone offers you food or snacks, just say ‘I don’t have an appetite’ or ‘Oh, I don’t like that kind of food’, instead of saying something like ‘I am being careful of what I am eating’ or ‘I am doing intermittent fasting’. It will be sooo satisfactory when someone finally says ‘I am not offering you (snacks) because you don’t e4t/like them anyway’. 

-Similarly, if someone calls you out for losing w4ight; don’t say ‘Thank you’, say ‘Oh, did I?’, that’s the appropriate reaction of someone not ‘di4ting’. 

-The progress will get slower as you lose w4ight, this is why most people lose motivation at some point, return to old habits, and then end up back here at their SW. Don’t fall for that, the lower your BMI gets, the slower it gets. Think of it like this; a smaller engine will need less gas to keep going, since your body is getting smaller your metabolism also needs less to keep going. It doesn’t mean ‘your metabolism is getting slower’, it just needs less now because you w4ight less now. It is still working for you, don’t worry and keep going. 

These should be all taken with a grain of salt, because they are things that worked for me, but it might not be the same for everyone. Thank you for reading!
