Starving Yourself Makes Bulimia Recovery HARD - Here's Why

Описание: If you’re trying to recover from bulimia or binge eating by eating less, restricting food, or skipping meals — this video explains why that approach often makes things worse, not better.

Many people believe that restriction gives them control around food. In reality, eating less can intensify binge urges, food obsession, and the binge–purge cycle.

In this video, psychologist Dr Lara Zibarras explains the science behind why restriction backfires and how eating more consistently can be a powerful first step toward bulimia recovery and binge eating recovery.

✨ You’ll learn how to:
👉 Understand why restriction increases binge urges
👉 Break the restrict–binge–purge cycle
👉 Use regular, mechanical eating to calm your nervous system
👉 Build balanced meals that reduce cravings
👉 Safely approach fear foods without triggering binges

💡 This video is especially helpful if you struggle with:
👉 Bulimia
👉 Binge eating
👉 Restricting food to feel in control
👉 Food guilt and shame
👉 Fear of eating more
