Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 475901" data-source="post: 2288808">I used to binge eat and still do occasionally but on low carb foods.The way I managed to get low carb was to think about foods I'd miss or that I crave and find substitutes. So mainly toast, cake, rice and chocolate!But I also focused on foods I can now have without feeling guilty - extra cheese, butter on my veg, cream, oil based dressings. I hope you can also focus on all the things you can eat that felt like guilt foods before.At first I'd buy those small packs of cheeses and keep them at eye height in the fridge so if I wanted to snack they were the first thing to hand. 20g of cheddar sometimes got rid of the cravings for sweet food. If it didn't I have small portions of low carb treats in the freezer, ice cream or low carb/keto cake. I'd also make sure I had hard boiled eggs, chicken or ham ready to snack on.I am fine with cauliflower rice with low carb curries, now eat the meat and pasta sauce alone or just with cheese, and I buy a small loaf of low carb bread that lasts me two weeks or longer by eating lettuce or ham wrap sandwiches in between. I also make 90 second keto bread with a mix of ground almonds and milled flaxseed - which is great toasted with cheese or a little sugar free marmalade.I still eat some chocolate but only no added sugar or good quality 85% dark (eg Lindt or Hotel Chocolat) - I've never managed to eat a whole bar of dark the way I could with cheaper milk chocolate.And part of the goods news is that even eating more fat then I'd had for years my cholesterol still improved, particularly my triglycerides which had been too high.</blockquote>
