Hi, I was wondering if you could give me a couple tips on how to eat less and not binge every day. Also, you could you tell me what is a good weight for me to try and achieve? I'm 5'5 and currently 160lbs. Thank you!

Hello! I’d recommend that you aim for 1500 calories a day and try to take stairs/walk whenever you have the option. If you have a dog, start taking them for a walk daily! They’ll appreciate it (: also try to do some form of strength training 2-3 times a week, it’ll help you retain muscle mass and look toned.

I think a good weight for you to reach would be 120 lbs. This is a healthy weight, but should look quite slim. 

To eat less, make sure you’re eating enough first. Aiming for low restriction won’t actually help you eat any less! It’ll make binging worse. 

Come up with a gameplan. Do you like to have big meals? Have 3, 500 calorie meals. Do you have a hard time going without snacking? Have 6, 250 calorie meals. You can also do something in between those two! Pick out what you’re going to eat the day before. I like to use myfitnesspal and pick out somethign that’s about 80% healthy and 20% fun. Completely banning treat food like chocolate, chips, candy, cheese, etc will just make you crave it and binge on it . Instead, plan on having treats in moderation. For example, I had chocolate nutella oatmeal this morning! Oats are healthy and I love them, and I bought a single serve packet of nutella so that I couldn’t binge on the whole tub. 

Fiber and protein can make you more full so you don’t feel as bingey. So can fats. Don’t totally restrict any macronutrient (these are fats, carbs, and protein) or you’ll end up very very sick. Try to eat veggies and fruits so that you get vitamins and minerals. A deficiency can make you binge!
