Ep. 198: Food Noise, Part 1: Bingeing is Not a Solution

About this episode

This episode discusses the relationship between food noise and binge eating, emphasizing that bingeing is not a solution.

Food noise is getting a lot of attention right now, and it can be easy to assume it’s the reason binge eating happens. But this episode focuses on one essential recovery truth: binge eating is never a solution to food noise. In Part 1 of this new series, Kathryn explains how food noise and urges to binge can be related without being the same thing, why bingeing often amplifies food noise, and why you can’t wait for a quiet mind to stop binge eating. You’ll also hear why staying binge-free is the first step toward finding real solutions for food noise.
