In Episode 187, we dive headfirst into the popular yet contentious world of diet psychology with our review of “Never Binge Again” by Glenn Livingstone, PhD. This episode is for anyone interested in behavioral psychology, eating disorder recovery, or just looking for a candid conversation that challenges traditional expert opinion.

Join Sarah and Stef as they dissect Livingstone’s approach to defeating binge eating, which promotes calling our cravings “pig squeals” and embracing extreme black-and-white thinking. 

Expect a lively discussion infused with personal anecdotes about coping with binge eating, heated debates about oversimplification in addiction recovery, and reflections on food abstinence. We also tackle the psychological effects of daily weighing and the challenges of regulating our complex relationship with food.

If you’re curious about alternative methods to mainstream diet culture or looking for expert opinions with a dash of humor, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and get ready for a thoughtful, relatable, and eye-opening exploration of food psychology.
