A disease like bulimia is nothing more than a psychological addiction. If you do not get rid of it, then it can lead to obesity. But it is not so easy to recover from this disease. What can be done to get rid of this addiction without the help of a specialist? What is the reason for overeating?
This usually happens during times of stress, when a person starts to eat everything in order not to think about problems. Sweets, chocolates, cookies and many other things begin to come into play and constantly chewing something is already becoming a habit.
To get rid of this habit, you first need to unlearn how to combine food with any other activity. No need to chew and read, watch TV, or sit at a computer. You definitely need to set aside time for food and eat quietly, without being distracted by anything else.
Be sure to take 3-4 hour breaks between meals. Gradually you get used to it and there will be no more need to eat every twenty minutes. This is done so that the stomach has time to digest food and is not constantly overloaded.
In no case should you go on rigid diets, which are now a lot on the Internet. The promise that in a short time you can lose a lot of extra pounds that will not return is not worth believing. Women who resort to such diets starve themselves, suffer, and when the diet ends, they break down and begin to overeat, which again leads to excess weight.
You can defeat addiction if you give up junk food, sweets. If there are no health problems, then it is better to eat spicy foods that improve metabolism. You need to develop willpower. But you shouldn't torture yourself at all. Sometimes you can pamper yourself with your favorite food, but in moderation.
In more advanced cases of bulimia, the person is hungry all the time and becomes addicted to food like a drug addict. He constantly needs a "dose".
In such cases, it is dangerous to become a slave to food and it is better to consult a specialist who will help you defeat addiction.
