Why Can't I Stop Eating?

[Rothen]

I am very overweight and for the last three weeks have been on a strict diet. But today i crumbled and went on a binge eating chocolate and biscuits. I've probably now put on all the weight i lost. And i am risking my health as i have high blood pressure and high cholestrol. Why can't i stop eating?

You shouldn't stop eating. I never liked the word "diet". I am not a nutritionist but I do believe I have some general knowledge in this area. In my opinion, as I've tried to slowly do as well, I think it's best to make baby steps in your life, in the direction of your weight-loss goal, rather than to go on strict diets. Whatever you do though, never stop eating. You don't want to put your body into starvation mode. Eat often and smaller meals and try to incorporate healthy alternatives into your diet. A lot of people today, including myself, like to eat one or two huge meals a day, while sitting in front of the tube.

The healthiest way to lose weight is do it slowly, incorporating some weight lifting and cardio into your long-term plan. The main goal is to lose fat and maintain muscle mass, and even better, to gain muscle while doing so. That's the prize!

I really like scooby1961's youtube videos(Can't post a link because of my low post count. Type in his name and you'll get to him.). He's quite informative and has a good attitude. He has videos covering almost every weight-loss or muscle building topic. I highly recommend you check him out.

God bless.
