Lost weight after a binge???

I ate a whole slice of very tasty Russian cake last night (and totally beat myself up about it), and now in the morning I am a good 2 pounds lighter. What happened? Of it helps, I exercised on the treadmill yesterday for 30 minutes, and I did a couple stretches. I'm just curious as to why I LOST weight even though I binged.

I do the same maybe once a week or every 2 wks but i need to stop! its ok every once in a while but not like i have been, If you workout quite a bit you really won't see it on the scale but in the mirror0

So....why did I lose weight??0

Because you just put your metabolism into overdrive by shocking it with all those fats and sugars.0

thanks. That's really weird, but ok.0

Also it wasn't a binge,.. bingeing is a period of uncontrollable consumption of food.. during a binge a person can eat well over 2000 calories.
You simply had an indulgence. That is perfectly fine every once in a while, in most cases it is actually good for you.0 -
since when is A SLICE of cake considered as a binge?
please tell me you're joking0 -
If you just ate a single slice it's not actually a binge. I don't know how many calories it had, but yes it might happen that you weight less after a binge. In my opinion it might be because your body isn't used to eat that much anymore, so your metabolism gets active after changing your eating habits. As if it burned more calories because it's been refueled. But it's not a medical explanation, just my idea. Sometimes when I'm plateaued I have a dinner out or a pizza and french fries with friends and then when I start again I weight less.0

I wouldn't consider eating A slice of cake a binge. Binge eating is if you go a long time without a certain food item and then break down and eat ALL or most of the item until feeling sick. For example; baking a dozen cookies and eating them all at once... (I'm guilty of being able to do that). Or ordering a pizza and eating the majority of it in one sitting.
You'll be fine allowing yourself a dessert every once in a while. You're fine and you didn't binge. It's healthy to allow indulgence (within) reason.0 -

Everything she said i agree with.... Thats what i was getting at! lol (shocking the body)0 -
Yea eating 1 piece of cake in a sitting was the kind of binge that torpedoed me into weighing 272 pounds.0

A binge is either a large amount of food in a short space of time, or a normal amount of food but in a daze when eating it. If that makes sense.
I used to starve myself for so long, that then when I had a meal, it was a binge because my head was all over the place and I wouldn't be sure exactly what I ate during that time.
I don't binge anymore, I just get greedy!0 -
nevermind
