Welcome to Diabetes Unplugged! The podcast that shines light on life BEYOND the diagnosis...

This week, we’re diving deep into a common struggle faced by many living with diabetes: binge eating and the cycle of self-sabotage. If you’ve ever found yourself overeating and feeling like you’ve completely derailed your progress, you’re not alone. This episode is for anyone who’s ever struggled with the mental battle between wanting to achieve health goals and feeling stuck in harmful habits.

We explore the three ways people often respond to overeating or binge eating, and why only one of these responses truly works to break the cycle. Whether you’re dealing with emotional eating, trying to manage diabetes, or feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to maintain a healthy routine, this episode will give you tools and strategies to take back control.

Top Insights from this Episode:

• Understanding overeating as a common human experience, not just a weight issue.
• Discovering why your response after overeating matters more than the overeating itself.
• Recognizing how ‘effort mode’ leads to a cycle of guilt and regret.
• How leptin resistance impacts your hunger signals and why it matters for your health.
• The dangers of restricting food intake after overeating and how it can harm your metabolism.
• Embracing compassionate responses to support long-term health and well-being.
• Building healthy habits: why hydration, protein, and fiber are key to balance.
• The importance of resetting without guilt after overeating for lasting success.
• Understanding that the journey to health is not about perfection, but consistency.
• Realizing that you deserve to feel good and take care of yourself, no matter what.
