Regardless of whether you call it a diet or a lifestyle, rigid food rules can have unintended consequences.
I didn’t become a binge and eating psychology coach because my relationship to food has always been smooth sailing.
Since puberty, I was on a constant mission to lose weight. In middle school I saw a nutritionist; in highschool, I tried Weight Watchers; when I was 17, I bought Adderall off a classmate to suppress my appetite during the day, only to binge on “Cookie Cereal” at night; and when I worked in restaurants, an average shift would include snacks all night and end with a 2 a.m. burger, salad, and skillet cookie.. It drew me in with the rigidity. The hard and fast rules.
Fifteen days into the program, I felt like a new person. I was lighter and more energized, I slept soundly, and I was much more mindful of what I was eating each day. But when the 30 days were up, I binged like it was Christmas morning . I did Whole30 five or six times. Each time, within a day or two of finishing, I felt like a total failure.
A year later, when I started my eating psychology coaching practice, I realized I wasn’t alone. A common unspoken side effect of the “miraculous” Whole30 is that it often ends—either by day 31 or way sooner—with bingeing. Eight out of nine of my clients who identified as having weight and health issues told me they’d experienced heavy binges after the 30 days were up.
