What do you pig-out on that is healthy? Like - those days when you're so hungry and just want VOLUME (lots of food). What do you eat?

    Big plate full of raw spinach mixed with a cup of chopped broccoli and a cup of chopped carrots, topped with a cup or so of "rainbow slaw" (shredded broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and carrots), sometimes with a serving of dried fruit mixed in (raisins or craisins, usually) and half a serving of lite salad dressing drizzled over it.

    Sub in whatever raw veggies float your boat. :)

    Have you ever heard of the term "everything in moderation"? That even applies with healthy stuff. In my opinion there is really no healthy way to pig out, too much of any one thing healthy or bad is not good. Believe me I have binged. My suggestion is to try and overcome it, chew some gum drink a cup of coffee, do something to keep you from thinking about it. I know it doesnt always work cause it doesnt always for me. Sometimes we just have to give in a little in order not to crash and burn hard!! Try a little bit of something and wait a few minutes and see how it goes!!! Goodluck!

    I ate a ton of sugar snap peas that last few days when I found myself foraging for a snack. Bell pepper strips and celery, too. Oh, and cucumber slices!

    Grilled boneless skinless chicken breast with whatever my dry seasoning rub of the day is, and either collard greens, turnip greens or spinach. If I'm hungry and have few calories left, my go to is raw spinach leaves, maybe with a good red wine vinegar, or sometimes just plain. I like greens, though.

    It is totally ok to pig out on healthy food. 4 oz of chicken is a few hundred calories. Vegetables are nothing. Go to town. You can eat a TON of steamed broccoli and it will have only postiive affects.

    What I wouldn't suggest is chewing gum with artificial sweetners to curb your appetite.

    Popcorn is good, because it's so "airy" you can get the healthier ones and pig out on an entire bag, it will have you feeling full!
