Q. I'm on a diet and it was going really well but then I got the munchies and consumed waaaay to many calories and carbs. How can I resist the urge to binge eat?
A. Some Advice...
#Don't Calorie Count.
#Like the other reply PLENTY OF WATER
#Space out your food through the day fairly, so you're not starving for the next feed.
#Make your meals enjoyable, don't have to be bland
#Put in a cheat meal every 5th day
#If you do binge/ plan the binge...then dont eat anything else for the day to add more damage
#If you gave in to a bad feed, have an extra workout so at least you done something to counter it
#If you binge, do it EARLY in the day, NEVER late before BED.
Hopefully this will help you a bit. Cheers

A. I just came back from the psych and discussed this very thing haha...
going to the movies, taking a bath, walking, listening to music, shopping, reading, going to the gym, doing some sport, cleaning, seeing a friend, calling a friend, going to the beach, drawing, painting, knitting, sleeping, driving, going to a club, playing music, cooking, gardening, watch TV, make your own list, go for a bike ride, take photos, go fishing, writing in a diary, meditating, hiking, playing cards (yahoo games!), look at old photos, crosswords, puzzles, surf the net, light some candles, have a coffee or tea instead, play a computer game, horseriding, rock climbing, jigsaws, play with your pets, go for a walk wirth your pets, rearrange some furniture...
this is all from a list he gave me... good luck!

How hard is binge eating on your body?
Q. I know "binging" is bad for you. I claim that I'm a health freak, which in turn causes me to occasionally come to a point of nutritional insanity in which I compleatly binge late at night, mainly on ridiculous amounts of fruit loops and peanut butter sandwhiches. So here's my request...could someone please lay out for me, the negative effects on binge eating, and what it does to your body(in terms of sugar levels, blood pressure, anything like that). Please please be as graphic as possible. I find I keep myself healthy by seeing things like icing as diabetes, and french fries as a heart attack. Please help scare me away frm binge eating with some graphic explaination of what eating a lot, quickly does to the body. Thanks a heap!
A. Remember Linda Carpenter, she died in her early twenties from binge eating, she caused herself to throw up so much, she had an electrolyte imbalance and died of a heart arrhythmia. Sweetheart, I don't think grossness in the manner of death will help you. Your obviously intelligent, and from your question it's obvious your no stranger to what binge eating does to ones body. I strongly suggest you seek medical/mental intervention, an eating disorder cannot be cured via yahoo answers, oh I wish it could. But lets get serious, we can offer advice, tell you the consequences, which again you already know. It's going to take professional help, intervention, dedication, therapy, guts, and determination. But YOU CAN DO IT. NOW GETTY UP AND GO AND GET HELP. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.
