On this episode of Mikkipedia, Mikki tackles binge eating behaviours and why the traditional “just eat less” approach often fails. She clarifies the difference between occasional overeating and true binge episodes, including the defining feature of loss of control, and outlines the DSM-5 criteria for binge eating disorder (for education, not self-diagnosis). Mikki then unpacks the physiology and psychology driving the restriction–binge cycle: dopamine and reward circuitry, cortisol and stress, shifts in ghrelin and leptin during calorie deficits, and the classic “what-the-hell effect” described in restraint theory. Most importantly, she offers practical strategies — predictable meals, adequate protein and energy, flexibility over rigidity, understanding whether you’re a moderator or abstainer, and building alternative coping tools — so you can decide whether fat loss is appropriate now or if foundational work comes first.
