The Secret to Prevent You From Binging - Made Fit TV - Ep 73

The Holidays are not the only time people can struggle with a binge meal - we struggle with it all year ’round! Birthdays and events every-other-weekend make for repetitive speed bumps in the quest for our optimum physiques. But the problem does not only lie in the food we eat at those events - it lies in our attitude toward food itself.

Below is a video from last year that I thought you may enjoy as well. It was my Holiday Pre-Binge workout that I shot exactly one year ago…wow, has time flown by.

Food is for nourishment, for growth, repair, and sustainability.  When we purposely avoid food the day of (or days leading up to) a “bad” meal, we train our metabolism to temporarily slow down.  This is a natural reaction our body makes to save energy: Low calories in equals low calories out. The when we “save up” for that bad meal, our bodies respond to the calorie-deprivation by storing the bad stuff.  The more frequently this happens, the more likely it will add up as excess fat.  It’s all very simple.

I know.  You’re thinking that it’s not easy to think like that when you’re faced with that giant piece of cake you haven’t had in months!  That’s why in this week’s Made Fit TV episode, I explain why it’s good to eat when you want to be a little naughty with your nutrition.  I show you certain foods that work for your body (and not against it), allowing you to have your cake and eat it, too!
