Glenn Livingston Ph.D is a veteran psychologist who become disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals and spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. 

Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more light-hearted relationship with food.

He is the author of the book Never Binge Again  which goes through How Thousands of People Have Stopped Overeating and Binge Eating - and Stuck to the Diet of Their Choice! (By Reprogramming Themselves to Think Differently About Food.)

This was an interesting conversation around binge eating. Glenn has a very different approach to the mindset around food and today’s episode will give you some new tools to potentially support overrating and binging. Like every podcast interview I do, take what’s relevant to you, experiment with it yourself and see if it helps. 

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s episode: 

• Glenn’s personal history with his weight and what lead him to studying binge eating disorders and disordered eating.  

• The reasons overeating, stress eating, and binge eating so prevalent in our culture today.
• The difference between binge eating for obese and overweight individuals vs the fitness population and ‘binge/restrict’ cycles 

• Dissecting your cravings - chocolate binges vs salty binges vs other cravings

• Successfully identifying the triggers and conditions that precede a binge

• Practical tips and techniques to hijack your reptilian brain when you get a craving binge. 
  
  
• Glenn’s 4 categories of rules when it comes to food: Always, Nevers, Conditionals, and Unrestricted.
• How it’s  possible to “Never Binge Again?” by applying the psychology of winners to eating.
