when you feel a craving coming on:
drink a glass or two of water, slowly
have a piece of fruit, like an apple
make some warm herbal tea with natural sweetener
go for a long walk or hike, put your earphones in and clear your head - walk with a friend if you’d prefer
if you’re still craving the food, have the tiniest bit of it, no more than a bite, and have another glass of water
distractions:
watch a long movie or start a new show
study! complete homework or begin revising for exams
write down your own thinspo imagines
do some online window shopping and look at all the outfits you want to wear at a smaller size
make your own thinspo playlist
do some yoga or meditation
things to keep in mind:
you already know what your favourite foods taste like - you don’t need to eat them again in bulk
imagine the amount of progress you’ll make tomorrow if you exercise self control right now
the shame and guilt that follows a binge is not worth it
the physical pain and exhaustion is not worth it
you’re not just affecting your weight, you’re affecting your overall health, your mental well-being, your skin
binging means you’re wasting your time when you could be doing something much more productive
Pumpkin Pudding (revisted)
Ingredients:
½ cup splenda
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup of pumpkin puree
1 & ¾ cup light soy milk (either plain or vanilla)
pinch salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice (or pumpkin pie spices)
whipping cream (optional, use soy whipping cream for vegan)
Handful walnuts chopped and 1 tablespoon maple syrup as optional garnish
Directions:
This is a very easy recipe to make. I used ½ of a small uchi kuri pumpkin (also known as Hokkaido) for the puree. As it was organic, I merely cut it in small pieces and steamed it. Within 5-6 minutes it was soft enough to puree. But canned pumpkin puree is also fine for the recipe.
Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl.
In a medium saucepan, heat the soy milk carefully, stirring constantly to make sure it does not scald.
Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture and stir well to mix.
Add the pumpkin puree and stir well.
Add the seasonings, salt and vanilla as well as spices.
As the mixture becomes thick and bubbly, stir well, and remove from the heat.
Pour into 4 parfait glasses.
Place in the refrigerator to chill for half an hour to 2 hours.
Garnish the pudding with a dollop of Soyatoo soy whipping cream and a few chopped walnuts with maple syrup.
145 Calories for entire recipe, but makes four servings, 36 Calories each (not including optional toppings). 7 net carbs.
Servings 4 - 293 kcal/36g protein each serving
1 tablespoon olive oil
600 g/1.25 lb chicken breasts
4 shallots diced
1 courgette (zucchini) diced
10 asparagus spears, cut in to chunks
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400 g/2.5 cups chopped tomatoes, canned
4 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 pinch sea salt and black pepper
20 olives, mixed
1. Heat the oil in a large pan and then add the chicken. Cook for 6-7 minutes, turning every couple of minutes. Take the chicken out and put to one side. 2. Add to the pan the shallots, courgette, asparagus and cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. 3. Add the tomatoes, herbs, balsamic and seasoning. Mix well. 4. Put the chicken and vegetables into an oven dish. 5. Mix well so that the chicken is covered. 6. Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C/390°F/Gas 6 for 30-35 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked through. 7. Sprinkle with basil and parmesan before serving.
NOTES:
Pound the chicken breasts first, as this makes them a little thinner and they cook a bit quicker and more evenly.
Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge. Try to only use quick cooking vegetables.
Add some extra greens by stirring in some spinach about 5 minutes before it is ready.
Add a little sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top at the end to make this an extra special chicken dish.
Serve with homemade potato wedges, on top or spaghetti, mashed potato or rice or just with some crusty bread
This dish will stay fresh in the fridge for 2 days, or in the freezer for 2 months.
Servings: 3 - 180 kcal/12g protein/5g carbs per serving
2 7-ounce packages shirataki fettuccini noodles
18 medium-size, wild-caught shrimp
2 pastured eggs, beaten
1 ½ tablespoons MCT or coconut oil, divided
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 lime, juiced and divided
1 teaspoon cashew butter
1 clove garlic, pressed or finely minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup cilantro
2 green onions, chopped
sea salt
4 cashews, crushed (optional garnish)
1. Prepare shirataki noodles according to package directions (rinse for 15 seconds, then boil for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water, then drain the noodles and place them in a dry skillet (no oil) over medium heat and “dry roast” them for 1 minute). Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix ¾ tablespoon MCT/coconut oil, coconut aminos, ½ of the lime juice, cashew butter, garlic and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add remaining ¾ tablespoon MCT/coconut oil, shrimp and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for approximately 1 ½ to 2 minutes each side.
4. Move the shrimp to the side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the open area of the skillet. Quickly cook the eggs to a soft scramble, about 1 minute.
5. Add shirataki noodles, sauce mixture, cilantro and green onions to skillet with shrimp and eggs. Toss everything together and mix well. Heat until warmed through.
6. To finish, drizzle the rest of the fresh lime juice over entire skillet, taste for seasoning and add sea salt and/or more crushed red pepper if desired. Garnish with optional crushed cashews and serve.

1 package (8 oz) Pillsbury Original Crescent Roll Sheet*
1 batch Vegan Pistachio Pesto (or 1 cup of any pesto)
8 sun-dried tomatoes (chopped/cut)
1. Sprinkle some flour on your working surface and roll out the Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet, being careful to not pull it apart. Pinch together any of the perforations, making sure it is one continuous sheet of dough.
2. Spread the pesto over the whole sheet and sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes.
3. Take the shorter side and roll up the sheet of dough being sure that the end is pinched together so nothing falls out.
4. Cut off the sad-looking ends that might not be exactly perfect, then cut the roll into 8 pieces. Note, you can still cook the ends but they won't look as cute as the other parts of the rolls.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-16 minutes or until the edges get a golden brown.
6. Enjoy your festivities!
HELLO Y'ALL, since my low cal pizza recipe was a success i decided to post another one of my go-to recipes!
Disclaimer: i do not encourage eating disorders, i am not a nutritionist whatsoever, but i have studied nutrition for five years so i’ll give you some tips to curb cravings without guilt
Another disclaimer: i did not steal this recipe, i was fucking around in the kitchen one day and found this gem and after a while i decided to post it here :)
ok so first of all you’ll need
1 tbsp of sweetener (0 cal)
2 tbsp of flour (52 cal)
2 tbsp of oats (76 cal)
1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (5 cal)
0.3 tsp of cinnamon (3 cal)
0.3 tsp of ginger (3 cal)
5 tbsp water (0 cal)
After mixing all dry ingredients add the wet ones (i usually eyeball this part but by measuring it should be around 5/6 tbsp of water and depending on how strong is the apple taste of your vinegar you may want to change the measurements a bit)
it should have this consistency
then cook them like normal pancakes, by flipping them when u see bubbles on the surface
if you don’t use oil don’t forget to use a non-stick pan or else you’ll just have a giant delicious mess
and voila! as you can see, they’re super easy to make and totally guilt-free!
the whole batch is just 137 cal, so one pancake is just 34 calories!
now, for the useful tips:
oats have a little bit more calories but since they have a lot of fiber they’ll make you feel full for longer
when you restrict a lot your insulin levels are all fucked up, so please, if you have 50 spare calories, swap the sweetener for real sugar, it will give you a bit of energy and curb the sugar craving while still being rly low cal overall
binges happen bc you lose control over ur cravings, so to take the power away from food try incorporating everyday some foods that you usually crave (e.g. since i often crave sweet stuff and pizza i eat these pancakes and my low cal pizza basically everyday), since i started doing this i haven’t basically binged!! (and i’m bulimic so… yeah that says a lot)
hi loves! this is for all of my disordered eating friends and recovering babies. if there is anything i missed let me know and i'll try to add it to the list. wishing you all love and health <333
