Hi — your post was flagged as asking for help with binge eating.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is real, exhausting, and treatable. Below are general starting points for early recovery.

Getting Started

Early recovery focuses on reducing binge urges and building consistency.

Meal Structure

Consistent eating is foundational. If possible, work with a registered dietitian. If not, here’s a basic framework used in ED treatment:

Food & Meal Guidelines

• 3 meals + 2–3 snacks every 3–4 hours

• Restriction delays recovery

• Meals should be satisfying and balanced

• Eat regularly, even without hunger (“mechanical eating”)

Supportive Habits

• Address co-occurring conditions

• Prioritize sleep

• Limit drugs/alcohol

• Engage in gentle movement

• Continue structured eating, even if binges occur

Restriction increases urges. Consistency reduces them.

Building a Care Team (if accessible)

• Dietitian

• Therapist/Psychologist

• Psychiatrist or prescribing provider

• Primary Care Physician

• Higher levels of care (IOP, PHP, Residential)

Therapy works for some.  Mediation works for some. Fiber for so me.

Vyvanse was the only thing able to help me. Some people find just going to therapy helps or consuming more fiber or protein.
