How I FINALLY Stopped Binge Eating - Guide To Healthy Relationship With Food 

I went from 230lbs in April of 2022 to now 153lbs as of this morning. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m able to finally start being kinder to myself. I didn’t find your channel until recently (a couple months ago I think) but I gotta say I really appreciate your perspective. Take care, thanks for your insights.

My parents were very poor when I was a child. We couldn't afford my favorite foods, like cheese, and seafood ect, which I only ate three or four times a year for the holidays. When I grew up and started making good money, compulsive overeating began, I could afford everything I wanted, but every time I ate, there was a feeling that “I can’t afford this, I need to fill up on my favorite dishes for the future ", "I have to feed this child what he wants, "delicious food will soon be over". It took a long time to understand and realize this, and I am still working with my feelings about food. Thanks for the video, for many people this is incredibly valuable information! Greetings from Ukraine, Kyiv!

The legend is back

I can totally relate. A brooding sense of angst triggers craving in the midst of a fast, sparking irritability. And i probably wasn't even that hungry. It's always something deeper than just food, and we need to be present enough to perceive what that is.

Wanhee, I just recently had a similar thought about hunger that you expressed in this video. I decided to just feel it for awhile. I realized then that there was a ton of fear around my hunger. I was a afraid somehow that I would “run out”, like when your car’s yellow light comes on that you only have 25 mi left to go before you run out of gas. I found myself having an internal conversation where I felt like I was telling my body, “Hey, it’s okay - you aren’t going to run out. I’ll get you food. But let’s wait awhile longer because then what I will eat will taste so good.” I know it sounds crazy, but it worked. The food did taste so good, and some how that waiting and calming myself down helped me not eat more than I should. I stuck to my desired calorie deficit level. All that happened last week, and then I watched this episode! Crazy how you then mentioned similar, reinforcing ideas so close in time to when I had the same kind of experience. This isn’t the first time this has happened either. Maybe that’s why I love watching your videos, because so often you articulate ideas and concepts that make such total sense to me right away. I wish I could shake your hand in person and say thanks!

I've lost over 100 lbs on my weightloss journey but my binge eating is keeping me from hitting further goals, thanks for the video lad 😁👊

I like this man, He's consistent, his content is easy to understand and no bullshit

You nailed the subject and actually shared valuable insights. Very clear and thoughtful. Thank you!

Its not easy to find information at this depth about this topic, im really glad I landed on your videos!

I've been doing those stretches everyday! Really works!

I needed this now more than ever. Thank you so much. It means a lot knowing that someone as disciplined as you went through the same thing I’m going through.

Mate, really love your content. Just discovered your channel recently and what you shared resonated a lot with me. I think you made it really relatable, and being of asian backgrounds as well, I can really relate with most (if not all) of the examples you put out. I’ve also been on weight loss journey, dropped from 86 to 72kg in about 8 months. It’s the first time I’ve ever had this much confidence in my health. Before I was always looking for shortcuts. But now I find the sustainable and healthy way to do it. So I can definitely relate 100% to what you’re saying! Keep it up mate

Great insights here and reflections as always, switching to mostly whole foods and protein definitely has been a game changer for me to get and stay in shape and doing a body recomposition the past four years 💪🔥 Summer 2023 let's go! ⛱️

Wow Amazing yet simple presentation 👏👏 you went deeper with this topic like a therapist.

Perfect explanation 👍 Thanks for the input 🙏🏼

Gotta tell you this was great to watch. When I started training I had very black and white thinking around diet and exercise. It got to the point where I couldn't enjoy Christmas dinner and pudding that year and I would feel so guilty about eating food that I had almost completely cut out that I ended up losing too much weight, and I would try and feel the void of my craving with stuff like strawberries for example. I've gotten better at fixing my relationship with food and drink, it still lingers from time to time but Im glad videos like this exist especially for guys who struggle to talk about stuff like this.

Whoaaa! That was deep and I love it. TYSM

Exactly what I was looking for

Love your videos, your content! Not enough health influencers talk about why a person's diet is the way it is and seldom mention how to examine their relationship with food and grow and develop from there. I am a "foody" and most of my best social experiences have revolved around great tasting food so I personally can relate to your videos! Everything ties together and achieving the right balance so you can stay on a healthy diet, exercise routine, and how to stay in mentality where one could do it forever and have it be their new norm so to speak is very inspiring for me. Hope to see more from you soon!

Dear Wanhee, I just wanted to say that I really admire your channel. As I'm girl not all of your videos might be directed to this audience but I enjoy watching all of them a lot. Firstly, your content is aesthetically pleasing. The minimalistic vibe is enjoyable and coincides with your personality. Secondly, I guess you are one of a few bloggers who touch upon such deep issues about sport and fitness mentality on youtube. I enjoy a lot listening to your thoughts and ideas about sport, the psychology of sport and your personal attitude to this. I absolutely agree with you that our body and soul connected and sport helps us to adjust this connection. Such view really helps me to stay consistant. Now, sport for me is not only the way to be physically attractive but also a meditative activity which helps me to cope with stress and take care of my body. Thank you for your work!

Best video about relationships with food i’ve ever seen! Love your content bro❤

Thank you for this video 🙏🏻

Love your content ❤❤❤❤ want to see personal vlogs too!

Wow, your content is so good that I subscribed today and have been watching video after video. You have a unique style and I feel like I’m learning.

thanks man, i started dealing w binge eating in late 2021 and it didnt stop until this beginning of this year. i was somehow able to not binge at all, even over the summer, despite me having all the free time in the world and normally when i do have free time i tend to binge but again i somehow was able to stop but ever since school started i havent had time to eat so when i do i end up binging SO much. i just wanna get back on track but i cannot stop eating so much

This is really informative and interesting! One of the biggest things that have helped me build muscle aside from spending time in the gym has been a custom meal plan from Next Level Diet. I use it every week and I love it!

Great video brother keep it up very helpful👍✋

I love you, Wanhee. Your videos are really insightful and you absolutely do not come across as some dude who thinks of himself as enlightened. More like a buddy who cares and is going through stuff just as everyone else. Infinitely better 💕

Beautiful video, thank you for being so real

Gosh I love this man

Another classic vid 👏🏾

When you’re hungry good wholesome food tastes amazing!

Thanks for this video, Wanhee. You really struck some chords.

That last scene💯💯💯

Yo wanhee I love your videos this was amazing. Your videos give me peace of mind. I would love more in depth videos on foods and healthy relationships with it and becoming more flexible and less restrictive with it yet still staying healthy, keeping majority of foods nutritious and lean.

Hey wanhee, I've started following a lot of your tips and even though im very young (15) I'm still training while doing baseball. I'm also korean, so I feel like we share a lot with our diet and culture, so It's helpful to see someone that's similar to me. Keep up the great content and thanks, 완히 파이팅

Thanks for this. I think binge eating may not have a deeper understanding reason but could simply just be a bad habit that has formed. An addiction.

My weakness is sweats like chocolates and lollies. Once i start i can't stop, so i've cut them out for like 3 months now haha

it's not confusing, it make perfectly sense to me.

It’s amazing how hunger is tied to mindset. No bullshit, I got fucked off with my binge eating habit and just sort of turned it off. Obviously I still get the impulse to snaffle something when it’s in reach, but I’m not hungry at breakfast and it’s a lot easier to resist over eating at mealtimes.

You can reach the deepest level by journaling

Lacan speaks of Object Petite A -the void we're trying to fill that can't actually be filled, it's just an aspect of life to have it - and I'm sure I fill mine with crisps and sandwiches.

Definitely trigger binge eating , but gonna try the thought of feeling-hungry as burning fat , great topics

Hi mate I have been following your channel for a while & it is really really helpful but could you also guide about cheat day - does that concept exist or one should stay on diet - less sugar / carb diet everyday

i needed this damn video

Keep the deep content coming, please! You hit home for me with this video. In my journey from fat --> lean, I also quit smoking weed as part of my transformation (Body and identity) and I now see myself as an athlete instead of a weed-smoking-couch-potato. But... I used weed and food to escape from the stress of reality in my teenage years, which I believe is a period of your life where you develop a great part of your future identity. Where you find yourself so to speak. So even though I am very consistent and disciplined, I am still prone to "fall of the wagon" when life hits me with a curve ball and I feel bad about myself. Such as being sick, or being stressed about deadlines. Especially the latter is a problem. I stress. I smoke weed. I eat more than I should (These days it is composed of whole food plants though, but there are still high-calorie, lower satiety, food to be found. like nuts!) and then I stress more and thus start a vicious cycle of self-loathing in this positive feedback loop. Like you wouldn't believe! Last time I gained more than 10kg in less than a week. Right majority of water, but I still had to do months of dieting/cutting, to come back to where I was.

This all applies to me!

Incredible

Which movie did you take that last scene from? And thank you for another great content!

What’s the background music you used? It made your final thoughts more powerful then it already was

This is extremely useful..thanks!

Bro you're suggestion of intermittent fasting has really helped me lose weight..

yea

Imagine that craving part of yourself as a sub personality, like it’s it’s own person that you care about. You have to negotiate with this personality and build a relationship with it, you’ll never get rid of it because it is a part of you. Ask it what it wants and then begin a negotiation with it, try and get a deal that works for the both of you, give it what it wants so it can be satisfied and so can you, without feeling guilty. The more you repress it the stronger and more angry that personality grows until it takes over and then the cycle begins. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting change.

GREAT HUNGER ALL TIME little hunger at evening

cam we get your full body workout pls? 🙃

Stop having a relationship with food. And start having a relationship with your stomach.

It's so Hard I'm a chef and all day I'm surrounded by French fries pastry etc. Haven't been able to break 176# at 6'1 been trying to get to 170 since Nov.

i noticed that when i cut back black coffee my tongue triggers the craving for sugary food. at first i thought it was normal but then i noticed that it appeared like some sort of pattern. i’m still working on how to deal with it.

I am currently on vacation and I have been fasting till 10-11 everyday. The thing is as I was travelling today I had a thought. Do you know what that thought was? The double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds. I got angry and yelled in the car, NO...Fuck that. I then said I want some blueberries. The blueberries were good. Cravings my friend.

sheeeesh early gang
