Why Eating “Clean” All Week Makes You Binge on Weekends

About this episode

Matt Schifferle discusses the reasons behind binge eating after periods of clean eating and offers strategies to create sustainable nutrition habits.

Why do so many people eat clean for a few days, then binge on weekends, late at night, or after hard workouts? In this episode of the Red Delta Project Podcast, Matt Schifferle explains why this cycle is usually not caused by laziness, lack of discipline, or poor willpower. Instead, it is often the result of diet stress, overrestriction, underfeeding, and trying to follow an unsustainable clean eating plan. Matt shares a practical approach to breaking free from binge and restrict cycles by focusing on satisfaction, appetite support, portion control, and sustainable nutrition habits. He also covers food noise, calorie hacking, emotional eating, the cardio trap, and why a healthy diet should help you feel energized, supported, and in control. 🔺R.D.P Books- https://is.gd/TagFfP 🔺Equipment and gear- equipment https://is.gd/5O5LLr
