Summary
When you binge, do you experience pleasure from the food from start to finish? Most likely you don't. There usually comes a point where the pleasure ends and this is what I call The Pleasure Cap.
In this episode, I'm exploring the concept of The Pleasure Cap and how it may cause you to eat more and even binge. Pleasure is something we all want and if you stop experiencing it, you might go on a mission to find more. Listen in to find out how you can experience maximum pleasure when you're eating.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 112. |
| 0:06.5 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast. It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin |
| 0:12.0 | feeling confident and in control around food. You are absolutely capable of eliminating |
| 0:17.6 | binge eating from your life, and I'm going to show you how by giving you simple |
| 0:21.3 | tools and insights that you can apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get |
| 0:27.7 | to it. Hi. I hope that you are having a wonderful day. Mine has been great and I'm going to do my |
| 0:37.4 | best to make it continue to be great. |
| 0:40.8 | So today's episode is all about a concept that I like to call the food pleasure cap. |
| 0:47.1 | For years, I've been working with people to help them stop binge eating and every now and that I'd |
| 0:51.9 | share with my clients, my theory on how much pleasure |
| 0:55.0 | we can experience in one sitting. And I'd been meaning to look into this as it was just something |
| 1:00.0 | I'd noticed in myself and when I'd share it with my clients, they'd always agree. So as I was |
| 1:05.1 | preparing for this episode, I finally did my research. And come to find out, I found two fancy sounding terms that related to this topic. |
| 1:14.9 | And they are the law of diminishing marginal utility and sensory specific satiety. |
| 1:23.7 | Sounds complicated. I know. But I'm going to break them down for you, as I had to do for myself. |
| 1:29.2 | And they may give you not only some understanding into why you binge in the way that you do, |
| 1:33.6 | but also to help you shift your mindset around eating a lot of food. So let's start with the first one, |
| 1:40.0 | the law of diminishing marginal utility. Now, this is actually a law of economics, and it states that |
| 1:45.8 | the more you consume something, the less satisfied you will be with each successive use. Now, |
| 1:52.6 | although it is an economics concept, many places I saw it explained actually used food as an example |
| 1:59.3 | to explain it. |
| 2:05.4 | What they're talking about in their subject is how people get less satisfied by something when they purchase a lot of it. |
