Summary

Break free from the binge and restrict cycle with this powerful 5-step system.

In this episode, I share my personal journey with binge eating and how I finally overcame it.

I'll reveal why binge eating isn't a failure of willpower, but rather a normal response to food restriction and highly processed foods. You'll learn why traditional approaches focusing on "more willpower" don't work, and how to address this as the brain chemistry and habits issue it really is.

Discover practical strategies including👇

How to identify and address your specific eating triggers
Understanding and managing food cravings
Creating effective response strategies
Building sustainable habits that last

Whether you're struggling with binge eating or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with food, this episode provides actionable steps to break free from the cycle and create lasting change. Remember: you're not a failure - you're experiencing a normal response to an abnormal situation.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. My name is Chelsea and if you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet, then this podcast is for you. While there are thousands of books, podcasts and resources about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the reality is that being vegan does not
0:21.9	guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,
0:28.6	or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough
0:34.1	willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the
0:38.7	truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of
0:44.1	behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying
0:49.9	lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. If you've ever found yourself face deep in a sleeve of Oreos or a bag of chips and then
1:14.5	struggled with so much regret and guilt and wondered how the heck you even got there when you've
1:19.8	ruined all of the progress that you've made on your diet, then I want you to keep listening to

1:46.1	like such a failure. I was very ashamed of embarrassed because I had this problem. And when I was in a
1:53.1	kind of like more of like a dieting lifestyle, I want to call it lifestyle because I just went from
1:58.5	diet to diet and I would be constantly gaining
2:01.3	weight back. I used to look at people online and influences and I would think that I was the only one
2:08.3	dealing with this. What I've since known and understood after losing 40 pounds and now keeping
2:14.4	them off for six coming up seven years is that this is actually an
2:17.7	extremely common problem and i would say most people struggle with some form of what we will
2:23.6	call binging and i'm going to define that term in a moment but most people struggle with this most
2:28.3	women feel a ton of shame and guilt around this but it's actually extremely common and we to talk about, first of all, a little bit of my story that's hopefully
