#41 Q&A: Weight gain in binge and period recovery


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!  

Today, I am answering questions around weight gain in recovery from binge eating, from missing periods, or from any form of disordered eating, food anxiety, restrictive eating.

Whenever I am working with clients, I receive a lot of questions around weight gain and so I am answering some common questions about period recovery and disordered eating recovery.

I answer the following questions in this Q&A episode:

  1. Do I have to gain weight to get my period back? 
    • If I gain weight up to where I was when I last had a healthy period is that enough? 
    • I’m back at a “healthy weight” where I used to have a period but my period is not back yet, why is that?
      • Resource about the refeeding process in recovery Minnesota Starvation Study
    • Resource: Nicola Rinaldi Blog (research on HA): No period. Now what?
  2. When does weight redistribution happen after getting back to my set point, getting back my period and stopping bingeing?

I talk specifically about the fear of weight gain in episode 17 of the Q&A podcast. You can listen to it here: Overcoming The Fear of Weight Gain.

If any questions arise during this episode, feel free to DM me on Instagram.

If you are struggling to stop binge eating, get your period back without the pill and want to reach health and fitness goals without obsession… I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone.
