    Log it while you do it. Stops me in my tracks.

    Greatly lower your carbs and increase your "healthy" fats--watch the portions but get into "fat".

    All above and I remind myself to HALT-B when feeling a binge. Think to yourself -

    Am I Hungry
    Angry
    Lonely
    Tired
    Bored?

    And try to spend the time analyzing these thoughts and let the binge urges subside instead of giving into them.

    Eat 300 calories below maintenance don't go any lower than that that should do the trick

    I started to binge eat when I was prepping for a contest. Badly. So I stopped.

    I was basically starved.

    Better to eat more calories and not feel deprives/starved than binge!

    However - as mentioned above, many times there are undelying issues that need to be dealt with and restrict trigger foods in the house (I ate everything so now there's nothing left and I won't buy anymore LOL)

    Agree with the brocolli binge too. Still a binge even though it's brocolli.

    Single serve deserts - awesome.

    Protein treat - get a single serve pot of plain yoghurt (150g ish) and scoop in a scoop of chocolate (or caramel or whatever you like) protein powder. It's a nice sweet desert that fills you up - chop up some strawberries on top and even more bliss.

    When I have been in a normal mindset and I feel like a sweet treat I will have one. ONE. single serve is the key. I don't buy a packet of biscuits because I know I will eat the whole entire thing in one sitting. So I buy ONE slice of cake (or whatever) and eat that. And don't keep it in the house for when I 'might' want it. I buy it on the day at the time that I want it.
