Hello everyone,
So a little backstory first:
I'm a 22 year old male who has had BED since the age of 19. In a year and a half I had gained 30 kilos(66 lbs). In January 2020, I decided to try to go all out to recover and return to my regular/healthy weight. I would use strict keto and walk 15-20k steps per day for the first couple of months. I had lost 10kilos (22lbs) and since then I have been yo-yo dieting and walking minimum 10k steps almost every day for the past year. I noticed that my binge-eating was always really exteme during the schoolyear, but I found it relatively easy to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time in August and during the winter break with keto and for a short time IF.
Last week I talked to a doctor over my binging episodes (which btw strictly occur between 9pm-12am, every night). He told me that even though I don't feel hungry when I binge, it seems that my body cannot stand the food restrictions + large caloric deficit that I put on it each day. He was right. I now eat normally without restrictions(but all healthy food) throughout the day and as of last week I haven't had any binge episodes at night.
So, my question is this:
If, when I diet, I can't lose weight due to the fact that I will start binge eating, and when I eat healthy foods regularly I can't lose weight due to the caloric deficit being too small(and eventually probably having a binge which would mess up the babysteps I've been putting in), how can i go about losing another 20 kilos to finally return to a healthy weight?
If anyone has been in the same position, please let me know in the comments. It would mean a lot, thanks.
