I am currently trying to lose weight and clear up my skin at the same time. In search for acne triggers, I have been cutting out sugar, gluten, and dairy and I already tend to eat low amounts of red meat. Everything else is pretty much fair game, but it all ends up being healthy food anyways (tons of veggies and fruits, eggs, grains, beans, rice, etc). I am mostly sticking to a calorie deficit, but I still do have some binge days where I am starving (probably due to my time of the month tbh) and need to eat a ton. But even when I eat more than I hope to, this diet still kind of keeps me on track. Normally, when I have a binge day or two, it sparks a whole series of binge weeks that end up torpedoing any progress I made. I lost 9 pounds in September only to gain them back in October + 1st half of Nov. The trigger was one day of eating whatever I wanted. I have started up again in mid-November and I am down 10 pounds again and don't feel like I am going to stop. I had two days of eating about 2500-3000 calories early this week (I am a 5'5 female, early 20's, so this is at least 700+ above maintenance for me) and now I feel back on track
Does it just have to do with chemicals in the food? Because if you let me loose on a baguette and some cheese or if I start eating junk food (chips, brownies, cookie, etc.), I will eat a huge portion with ease.
