Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!  

In this special Q&A episode, I answer two important questions related to binge & period recovery.

But before we dive into this episode, I encourage you to go back and listen to these past episodes to learn more about weight gain (episode 41), how weight stabilizes throughout binge eating recovery and what hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) is (episode 14).

1. How long does it take for “overshoot” weight to naturally come off after recovery?

• • And how the timeframe is very individualized.
  • What you should focus on during this time period.
  • Risks and benefits of intentional fat loss.
  • When to work with a dietitian or well-informed nutrition/fitness professional.

2. What is the balance between prioritizing whole nutritious foods and dieting…between eating intuitively and just eating whatever you want all the time?

• • And the principles of Gentle Nutrition.
  • What you should focus on first if you are just starting your recovery.
  • My approach to incorporate health & nutrition goals.
