Re: [fast5] Binge Eating HELP!

I think the Warrior Diet method works really well:
break your fast with a big salad. Lettuce, vinegar or vinegrette,
plus olives and anything else you can think of. Pig out on it!

The fiber in the salad, and the vinegar, do magic on your
"I gotta eat" cravings. Lots of munching too. If you can't
do a salad, eating a raw carrot and a Tbls. of vinegar
in water can work also.

Followed by a good soup. (you can use a soup instead
of salad, optionally).

Then I would do cooked vegies (tho for me this is sometimes
mixed with my meat: AKA stir fry).

THEN your meat/protein.

Followed by starches, if you can still eat any. Potatoes,
rice.

Last, some dessert if you still have room.

The main thing is to eat soup or salad first. Restaurants
discovered this long ago: if you eat those two first, you
don't care so much how big the main meal is. Both have
been shown to change your hunger levels a lot, though
for different reasons.

There are also other ideas, such as konjac, which works
by filling up your stomach and making you full faster.
Salad and soup are probably the easiest though.
