binge
« on: August 07, 2014, 02:17:02 AM »
just got home from a fairly normal day of eating -- a bit more than i would have liked, but very good considering i was out with family all day visiting restaurants and such -- and a late night workout.  and then...

in the past hour, i've had a whole tin of mixed nuts, a pint of ice cream, and 4 quest bars: roughly 3500 calories

seems like the more on-point my diet gets, the more this happens...  i used to feel really guilty and disgusting during the whole binge, but now i just grit my teeth and double down.  i know there's no turning back, so i go all out and try to make myself sick as fast as possible.

thinking of galeniko's advices:  no eating tomorrow, monster workout of many sets at gym.

what is the official getbig way of dealing with binges (preventing, recovering from, etc.)?

as a side note, sickening post-binge veins like all over my arms, abs, etc. -- what causes this?

That's all you binged?  ;) I've posted before what my binges would look like; roughly somewhere between 5.000 and 10.000 kcal easy. But I was having an eating disorder. If I felt really guilty, I would vomit to 'undo' the binge. And fasting, and extra cardio, and an even stricter diet... Making me more hungry and more susceptible for another binge.

The stricter the diet, the more urge I feel to binge on bad food (chocolate, icecream, cookies, deep fried food, pizza). So, for me it helps to incorporate some of the bad foods in my diet. If they're not forbidden, they're not so tempting. Also, I stopped to see food like icecream as treat or reward; that makes it more tempting, too.

Is this your scheduled cheat day? then it is ok

are you dieting? if so, you just need to NOT eat anything but what is in your diet.. it is you against yourself

When I can't handle myself and I eat many too much, I do this trick:

The next day is completely out of carbs. Just protein and veggies.

But I do cardio first thing in the morning, at least for 40 minutes, then later I do my regular weight workout, and then again I do another cardio session at least for 30 minutes.

no, it's the insulin release that relaxes blood vessels and the sodium pulls more water into blood so you get a double effect.

I think Gal's best advice was to skip breakfast the next day and train with an empty stomach.

If they're not forbidden, they're not so tempting. Also, I stopped to see food like icecream as treat or reward; that makes it more tempting, too.

i used to go way crazier... i recall a time when i got two fully loaded chipotle burritos, then came home to eat two huge slices of naan piled THICK with peanut butter.  must have been well over 3k right there.  the thing is though, i practically considered that a normal meal, at the time ;D

maybe i'll try start eating small amounts of ice cream etc. on a regular basis.  i have a feeling the root of these binges is simply lack of variety.  one reason is: I gorged myself on one type of food til im sick of it (e.g. nuts), at which point i feel full and gross.  then I started with the ice cream, and it was like i was starting back at square one: I couldn't get enough.  once i got sick of ice cream, i switched to quest bars, and again, it was almost like i arrived at a completely fresh slate.  i'm sure if there were donuts or something like that in the house, i would have crammed a few of those down.

the "hunger" (if you can even call it that) is only satisfied once there's no new type of delicious food to cram into my face.

i decided i'm going to try to eat 0 calories for 24 hours this time.  i don't think i've ever done this in my life, so it should be a fun challenge, even if it doesn't exactly make me feel better.

are you dieting? if so, you just need to NOT eat anything but what is in your diet.. it is you against yourself

I never dieted for a competition or to see how low I could possibly get my BF, but I've always been interested in achieving the lowest bf % I possibly could, year round.

I used to schedule cheat days and all that, but lately I've been trying to eat uniformly throughout the week (in terms of total calorie intake, not variety of foods).

I think your competition diets consist mostly of beef and broccoli, or something like that, from what I remember.  If you were trying to achieve my goal (lowest % bf year round), would you recommend something like that, or more variety?

no, it's the insulin release that relaxes blood vessels and the sodium pulls more water into blood so you get a double effect.

interesting -- i do most often notice this after eating a shitload.

I think you will find you have to pay for that information.

as a side note, now that you follow the gal/no-one approach, do you schedule cheat days and all that?

for some reason i was under the impression you didn't... but i can't recall if i've ever read about your diet after you extended the olive branch to no one.  care to share?

It's too late, just give up any aspirations of a good physique, stop training and let such binges become your daily protocol.

But as you know, it doesn't last very long. The human body is over 60% water and when eating a lot of carbs and sodium you get thirsty and drink more water and most of the sodium after hitting the bloodstreem is transfered to the lymphatic system and then the fluid will remain in the tissues, causing swelling or bloat.

At the moment Im still having carbs, not a lot mind but I have some oats in the AM and some egg noodles later.
Im not trying to get shredded, just to shift a few pounds.
If I was looking to get to 6% or so I would drop all carbs for 4 days then add some in via 1 meal , then go again.

Still have the kidney stone to worry about at the moment and have to keep hydrated, zero carbs tends to make you drop water.

You can eat clean with around 200-250g of carbs daily and be fairly lean year round which is something maintainable. Going below 6% is a different story as in dieting for a show.

Get off the stupid no carb diet and eat organic whole foods eliminate processed food and processed sugar from your diet and you will look and feel better plus lose weight, no carb diets are unhealthy.

I would add that after OP follows this diet he can tell us when he hits 250 @ 8% and we will accept it without photographic proof.

I wonder what's worse, binge or suicide? I don't think I could ever binge any more. I think binge is a substitute used to stave off suicide of sorts.
