How to stop binging and be able to lose weight? According to neuroscientist  Susan Peirce Thompson , who has been studying a cognitive approach to weight loss for years, for some people there is a method that allows you to stop binging especially when faced with foods you don’t know how to say no to: for example biscuits, nutella, chips, cheese.
The method works with many , but it is not within everyone’s reach. Personally I advise you to give it a chance, and wait a week to see the results and see if it works in our case. It could be really liberating, explains the scientist. 

The reasons for eating too much are in fact many: if there is an eating disorder known as binge eating, this method may not work, simply because a more serious dietary and psychotherapeutic approach is required to resolve a disorder. need of the person. If you don’t have a disorder, but tend to compulsively overeat every now and then, and most of all you are addicted to certain foods in particular, then it makes sense to try.

But let’s see how to stop binging and be able to lose weight according to Dr. Thompson.
Basically, the doctor explains how for many people “eating a little bit of everything in moderation” does not lead to results. If at home we always have biscuits at hand , or sweets, or snacks, we need a lot of willpower to limit ourselves in the consumption of these products.

There are two reasons why it is difficult to limit oneself:
– because if they are close at hand, in the fridge or in the pantry, it is easier to think about them and use them whenever we want . In fact, a study conducted by American researchers established a correlation between the tendency to overeat and that of having greedy foods always in front of the eyes. For example , I do n’t like Nutella. But if I buy a jar of Nutella (maybe to please my husband), I’ll end up eating it too. – because they are highly palatable
foods : do you know what that means? It means that for their combination of carbohydrates and fats or for the presence of some substances that stimulate the pleasure centers (salt, glutamate, sugar),with these foods it is very difficult to limit oneself.

For these reasons, to open a packet of cookies and eat only two or three of them, you need to exercise strong self-control. And this self-control is stressful, and most of the time bankruptcy. At the fourth cookie we feel guilty. On the fifth we tell ourselves that we have a problem (us). At the end of the package we feel like monsters.

So, how to stop binging? First of all, by overcoming the rule of eating a little bit of everything and replacing it with a new habit: these foods must disappear from the pantry. From the fridge. From our home.
But which foods? Only those we tend to overdo it with. Everyone has his own and knows them well.
Returning to Nutella, there are people who are addicted to it. They are not limited to a teaspoon. So by bye nutella.
This doesn’t mean giving up on food forever.In the case of Nutella, this can be remedied by buying a mini 30-gram tub, and indulging in only that one day a week. Those who love peanut butter can try making it at home, starting with peanuts and making a portion of 50 grams. Those who love cheese can opt for only one type of cheese per week, portion it and set the rest aside. Those who love cookies can try making them at home without buying packaged products.
Homemade biscuits will not have the same palatability as packaged ones, and we are not tempted to eat too many.
Stopping buying certain foods is just the best way for some to avoid bingeing and obsessing over food.
