The Best Ways to Curve Cravings

Extreme overeating is more common than you think. Binge Eating Disorder, or BED, is America’s most common eating disorder and yet bingeing is extraordinarily underrecognized, both by health professionals and by the public at large. If BED is more common than anorexia and bulimia combined, it is a wonder how many women are struggling with lower-level bingeing—the kind that has you downing a box of cookies without thinking because you’re hungry from dieting or inhaling a bag of chips when you’re angry.

You eat a whole basket of chips with salsa while waiting for a friend at a restaurant. You nibble on a donut, only to find you’ve eaten three before even finishing the morning paper. Are these binges? Yes. While the clinical level of bingeing identified in the Harvard study is defined as uncontrolled eating at least twice a week for at least six months, most experts call any uncontrolled eating “bingeing.” The key words: “Loss of control.” The number of American women with the clinical bingeing disorder hovers around 5 million, while the number of women who mini-binge at a more moderate level may be about three times as high.

Whatever the food, the binge impetus is almost always emotional, experts say. Any negative thought, from insecurity to anger, emptiness to self-doubt, can kick-start overeating. But why is turning to food such a common coping mechanism? The answer: Food helps change our conscious experience. We go into a bubble. Everything feels all right, and nothing can get to us.

It’s easy to avoid a dieting-related binge, experts say: Make sure you have several small meals throughout the day so you don’t feel so deprived that you speed-eat the chips and salsa before dinner. And don’t restrict satiety-inducing carbs to the point where you never feel satisfied.

Dealing with the emotional issues that fuel bingeing, however, isn’t quite as simple as timing meals or managing carbs. For many, the feelings that trigger the cravings and overeating are almost unconscious. That’s why mindfulness has become the number-one way to gain control. How to start? You need to get in touch with the feeling that triggers the binge.

Instead of numbing whatever it is—loneliness, frustration, anxiety—with food, ask yourself, “What am I really feeling?” Then ask, “If I eat this food, or go on this binge, what will it cost me?” Most cravings pass within 15 minutes, so if you can fight the urge to eat while exploring the underlying trigger, you’ll be working on your issues while keeping the overeating at bay.

Eating mindfully, rather than trolling through the kitchen or zoning out in front of the tele-vision, actually helps you pay attention to what you really need. A study found that if a woman places her fork down between bites of pasta, then purposefully chews 15 to 20 times, she realizes that she’s fuller faster—and she ultimately consumes about 70 calories less per meal. Stress-reduction techniques such as yoga or walking also may help reduce the negative feelings that trigger emotional eating.

Strategies to Get More Steps In Your Day

Having trouble reaching the recommended 10,000 steps per day? It’s easy to rack’em up (especially with the help of a pedometer) if you add just 10 to 20 percent more steps each week. Try these simple tips:

1. Add short walks whenever you can. Park your car a block away, get off the subway or bus a stop early, walk to the next post office drop box, or take a lap around the park on the way home. 600 steps per 5 minutes

2. Buy a new or used treadmill and vow to only watch TV while you walk. (One episode of House, and your numbers will really soar.) 7,800 steps per hour

3. Join an active group. Meet with fellow dog owners to walk your mutts, or link up with a local running or hiking group. (Need help? Visit Health.com/girlsgottamove.) 7,800 steps per hour

4. Take an extra lap around the mall before you shop. (Bonus: You’ll get to scout all the best sales.) 1,200 steps per 10 minutes

5. Be an active volunteer. Become a guide at your local art museum or at the zoo, or start taking part in your neighborhood watch. 4,000 to 6,000 steps per hour

6. Convert downtime to walking time. During your daughter’s tennis lesson, walk to town hall to pay your taxes or do laps on the adjacent track. 3,900 steps per 30 minutes

7. Eliminate one trip—car, bus, or subway—per week; walk or bike instead. Work up to replacing one trip per day. 3,600 steps per 30 minutes; count 110 steps per minute of pedaling

8. Plan an active getaway. On a hiking trip in the mountains, for example, you can rack up a load of steps (and you won’t have to deal with any crowds). 8,000 steps per hour

9. Set up a walking school bus if you live close enough to a school. Shuttle neighborhood children there or back a few times a week. 2,400 steps per 20-minute trip
