Summary
There's a lot of talk out there saying that if you want to stop binge eating then you have to stop eating sugar and flour. There's definitely some good reasons why doing this is beneficial, but also some reasons why it's not, and this is episode I'm talking about all of them.
Whether you eliminate sugar and flour from your life is a personal choice and if it's something you want to do, it's a decision that should be made after knowing why it's recommended and why it may not be the best idea depending on where you are in your own personal mental work. I want to share with you the basic science behind how sugar and flour affect our brains and bodies and also how eliminating them can affect someone in the early stages of doing the work to stop binge eating. So listen in as I help you make your decision about what you want to do about these foods in your life.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Stop Binge Eating Podcast with Kirsten Sarty, episode number 28. |
| 0:05.2 | Welcome to the Stop Binge Eating podcast. |
| 0:07.8 | It's time for you to end your food obsession and begin feeling confident and in control around food. |
| 0:13.6 | You are absolutely capable of eliminating binge eating from your life. |
| 0:17.9 | And I'm going to show you how by giving you simple tools and insights that you can |
| 0:21.7 | apply in your own life. I'm your host, Kirst and Sarty. Now let's get to it. |
| 0:29.0 | Hi, how are you today? I am so good. So good. Are you ready to talk about sugar and flour? |
| 0:39.3 | Did you even know this was a relevant topic? Back when I was binging, I had never seen any talk about these two, but now I see it |
| 0:46.1 | all over the place. Many people are saying that if you want to stop binging, then eliminating |
| 0:51.4 | sugar and flour is a must. But I honestly believe otherwise that it is not a requirement. |
| 0:58.0 | I personally do sometimes eat sugar and flour without binging, and I've also had many clients |
| 1:03.5 | who still eat sugar and flour and don't binge and stop binging without ever totally giving |
| 1:08.3 | it up. |
| 1:09.2 | But that being said, can giving up sugar and flour |
| 1:12.0 | make stopping binge eating easier? Well, yes and no. And I want to explore why in this episode |
| 1:19.4 | today. I've learned a lot about sugar and flowers effects on our brains and our bodies. And I want to |
| 1:25.3 | share with you what I've learned so you can make an informed decision |
| 1:28.3 | about whether you think cutting these foods out is the right path for you. But before I even go |
| 1:33.6 | into it, I want to say two things. One is that if you have never even considered giving them up or |
| 1:38.9 | have no desire to give them up, then you don't have to. Like I said, I don't believe it's a requirement, but you may |
| 1:46.0 | want to continue listening anyway because you might learn a little something that may help you |
| 1:49.4 | anyway. You never know. And the other is that giving up sugar and flour is not a magic cure for all, |
