Binge Eating Breakthrough

Why Ignoring Hunger Backfires (and What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

In this fifth episode of our deep-dive series on hunger, we explore why fighting your body's hunger signals never works long-term. Think ignoring hunger will help you control your eating? This episode reveals why that approach always backfires and what to do instead.

What You'll Discover:

  • How your brain responds when you don't give it enough fuel
  • The common patterns that keep you stuck in restrict-binge cycles
  • Why occasional hunger vs. chronic hunger dismissal are completely different
  • How to work with your hunger instead of against it

If you've ever tried to push through hunger or convince yourself you shouldn't be hungry, this episode will show you why that approach keeps you trapped and what actually works instead.

  • Episode 1: What Is Your Relationship With Hunger?
  • Episode 2: Your Relationship With Hunger Begins in Childhood (with Lisa Smith)
