[QUOTE="annie07, post: 2288846, member: 494832"] Hi Miss Toria! I too struggle with binge eating disorder and was diagnosed type 2 two years ago. I have had the same issues as you - restricting eating isn’t helpful for binge eating disorder and I have found it incredibly difficult. I still sometimes slip into the thought pattern of “it’s my fault because I binge so much” but as time goes on and I learn more about it all, that it slowly and surely going away. A keto diet has really helped me, because I haven’t had to restrict on calories or meals and I can still eat well without many carbs. I have a few low carb snacks just to curb the cravings - Ryvita crackerbread is 3.8g per slice and satisfies my need for crunchy carbs. Oppo ice cream, Lindt 90%, sugar free Werthers and Proper Corn individual bags of salted popcorn also all help trick my brain into thinking we’re getting something carby and less likely to binge. For slightly higher carb value items, multipack bags of Cheetos are between 7 and 8g or carbs and hit the spot when I want crisps. I still slip up from time to time because eating disorders can be relentless but I try to count every day that I eat well as a victory. It’s a long journey but small steps are key to making it work long term. Wishing you all the best and know you are never alone when the forum is here x [/QUOTE]
