WHY You’re BINGE EATING and How to STOP for Good using Evidence Based Psychology Hacks with Dr. Supatra Tovar
Bite Back with Abbey Sharp
Intro
This chapter explores the detrimental effects of diet culture on personal relationships with food and body image. It delves into the cycle of restrictive eating and introduces therapeutic strategies to encourage a healthier mindset and address disordered eating patterns.
In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we will be chatting with Dr. Supatra Tovar, a registered dietitian, a clinical psychologist, and the author of the new book, Deprogram Diet Culture: Rethink your Relationship with Food, Heal your Mind and Live a Diet-free Life. We discuss why people tend to binge after dieting, and all of the compensatory mechanisms that prevent weight loss and encourage binge eating. We discuss some of the biggest cognitive distortions that cause binge eating and disordered eating. We also talk about how the principles of CBT can help you reprogram your disordered relationship with food by using mantras, anchoring behaviors, and habit stacking. We close off with how to prevent disordered eating or binging relapse and I give some actionable examples of how to incorporate these CBT principles into your life.
