Cures for over eating?

Drink water, it'll flush your system out ASAP

Drink water, it'll flush your system out ASAP

^^ This^^ Chinese food is very high in sodium and the water will help you rid your body of the extra sodium (and bloated feeling from the sodium) Going for a walk might help you feel better too

This happened to me yesterday. However instead of a Chinese buffet, it was "Doughnut with Daddy" day at my daughter's pre-school. I had one doughnut, and then a few doughnut holes, then a croissant with ham and cheese, and then another doughnut. It was mindless eating and I was super bummed out by it when I got into my car to leave. I felt like crap all day from all of the sugar (I was over my calorie allotment for the day from all that dang food as well). However, the good thing to come out of all that was this: I KNEW that I went over, so I didn't continue to eat like that for the rest of the day. I pounded water, and only had one more med-size meal and then called it quits: no snacks, no food. I decided that today I would really focus on eating healthy and here I am; today is a new day. But I feel you about the cheat days and going crazy with them, maybe I should do away with them altogether as well...

Make sure you eat something high in fiber to flush your system out. You could also chug some detox drinks to help.

Water always makes me feel sicker if I've overeaten.

A hot drink might help you out, but the only real "cure" is some physical activity. Walking will aid (as in speed up) the digestive process. It won't feel nice, but it won't last as long as just sitting there and waiting for it to pass.

Here I thought you were asking for tips on how to curb the overeating in the first place

Oh my goodness, I completely over did it today. I usually allow myself a cheat day once a week and it hasnt really been a problem. Today it was. I went to a chinese buffet and boy did i pig out. I feel so sick and bloated. I sometimes end up binging on cheat days so I have decided to stop having them. Instead I will just find ways to fit my favorite foods into my diet once in a while. Anyways like I said I feel super sick....my new smaller body is not used to all this food. Is there anything I could do to feel better?

OP. I like that you're now fitting foods in daily. That's what I did, I am on a 100 day streak and haven't binged since.

So far the overeating day has been helped with water and healthier choices. I guess the next time I want Jelly Bellies I will get the two ounce size instead of the two pound economy bag.

Pepto, works for me and Tums

I have felt the same way after eating things that are no longer on my eating plan (e.g. fast food), that I used to enjoy, haven't had for a while, or overindulged in. I've been meaning to write down exactly how I felt physically (too full, stomach ache, didn't taste good, etc.), and posting it on the refrigerator as a reminder why it's better to just leave it alone.

Thanks for the tips. I chugged a bunch of water...felt like crap at first but then felt better after flushing everything out. I am still pretty bloated though and just taking it easy. Any suggestions on what I could eat later (for dinner) so I don't feel like crap. I would try to make it the rest of the day without food, but thatd be pretty hard for me

Well for one, the buffet you had should be able to hold off any further cravings throughout the day, especially since your bloated... For me in the past, if I over ate in a buffet the hunger would hold off a full 12 hours before I had any appetite again

Rest.

Meanwhile, you might want to reconsider if 1200 calories is an appropriate daily limit for you. Perhaps bumping that up a little will make these binges less likely/less severe.
