Overcome your challenges with binge eating
If you feel stuck and ashamed over your binge eating habits and don’t know how to get out of the cycle, you’re not alone. With proper nutrition care, you can overcome the compulsion to binge, reach a healthy weight, and restore a balanced relationship with food.
Break free from binge eating with personalized support
Registered dietitians are uniquely qualified to help with both the mental and nutritional aspects of binge eating disorder (BED). They can create a custom meal plan that helps with weight management and any other co-occurring health issues you may have while also helping you repair your relationship with food to prevent further bingeing episodes.
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
What to look for in a BED nutritionist
Certified registered dietitian nutritionist
When searching for a binge eating nutritionist, check that a provider has RD or RDN by their name. This means they are a registered dietitian nutritionist, a protected title that only those who meet the requirements can use. RDNs are the most qualified nutrition providers out there and can help anyone struggling with an eating disorder.
Expertise in eating disorders
Dietitians are nutrition experts, but some are also eating disorder specialists. This means they focus on the mechanisms that fuel EDs and have the tools to help improve both your eating habits and your mindset around food. Taking a multi-faceted approach is the most effective way to heal from binge eating disorder, as it is just as much about food mentality as it is about the way you eat.
Covered by insurance
Finding a good provider can be expensive. Nutrition services, however, can be covered by insurance, making them much more affordable. All Fay dietitians accept insurance, and Fay bills directly on your behalf so you don’t need to worry. With Fay, you could pay as little as $0 per session while receiving top-tier nutrition care.
Compassionate care
Being compassionate is just as important as being qualified when it comes to treating eating disorders. One way to check for a provider’s bedside manner is to read through their reviews and see what other clients have to say. All Fay providers have transparent reviews available on their profiles where you can see how they’ve helped others recover from binge eating disorder. And if you feel like your first provider isn’t a match, you can try another provider, no problem.
How a Fay nutritionist can help resolve BED
Relearn healthy eating habits
Your Fay dietitian will give you much more than just an eating plan. They will help you retrain your mindset around food to cultivate a healthier perspective that enables you to eat nourishing foods while remaining in control.
Release your shame
Eating disorder dietitians use cognitive behavioral psychology tools to help get to the root of the emotional drivers behind ED and release your shame so you can feel confident around food again.
Find joy in food again
With a refreshed mindset and a more positive relationship with food, you can once again find joy in cooking, sharing food, and eating.
Get your life back
You will emerge empowered to live life at its fullest, no longer avoiding social gatherings or events and eating foods that are both nourishing and delicious.
The difficulties of binge eating disorder
Lack of control
A lack of control is what fuels BED. Binges feel like they control you and your eating habits –maybe your entire life. You might feel beholden to binges and unsure how to live without them if you’ve been struggling for a long time. This sense of being stuck is what keeps many people from recovery, but have faith that it is always possible.
Fear of food
When you feel uncontrollable around certain foods, you can begin to fear those foods. This can create a harmful dynamic where some foods trigger you either to binge or avoid them altogether. This fear of food can lead to cycles of avoidance and bingeing, which are exhausting and frustrating. It can feel like you’ll never eat “normally” again – but again, recovery is possible.
Sense of isolation
These harmful habits can cause you to withdraw from social life. You might fear an event setting off a binge if you don’t trust yourself to eat mindfully. This isolation can exacerbate symptoms, creating a painful cycle. Your dietitian can help you navigate these mental blocks to enable you to socialize and connect with others once again.
Uncertainty around recovery
It might feel like recovery isn’t possible for you. It might feel unfathomable that you can break free from this cycle. But everyone with BED can recover and everyone is worthy of recovery. Believing recovery is possible is just as important as putting in the work to improve your eating habits.
