You need to correct your diet first to avoid any food cravings. Junk food or refined carbs causes sudden spike and dip in sugar levels. You should eat fibre and protein rich diet. You can also consult us for proper dietary guidelines and advice

Keep yourself busy, when the craving starts, have a glass of water, engage yourself in some work, after some days. The craving will finish. If you find difficult to do it, consult a psychologist.

If it has started affecting your weight and it's happening even when you are not hungry. It needs proper assessment. Binge eating disorder is often seen comorbidly with depression. If you have any kind of mood disturbances (sadness/ irritability) or you have lost interest in previously pleasurable activities or you don't feel like doing anything or talking to anybody and the cycle of thoughts just doesn't stop. Maybe it's time to give your mental health proper attention. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me directly on nine eight two six five four five six six zero for a detailed evaluation and management plan. You can also eme directly on practo. Binge eating is completely treatable do not delay the treatment.

Emotional/binge eating is commonly linked to stress, anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal changes, or habit-based cravings rather than true hunger. Over time it can lead to significant weight gain and metabolic issues.
Next Steps
-Consider screening for:
-TSH/thyroid profile
-HbA1c, fasting sugar
-Vitamin D/B12 if fatigue present
Health Tips
-Do not skip meals; include more protein/fiber to reduce cravings
-Avoid stocking junk foods at home
-Drink water first when cravings start and delay eating by 10–15 mins
-Regular exercise and proper sleep help control emotional eating
-Contact me anytime on Practo for further consultation.

Discuss with your psychiatrist the possibility of adding weight neutral or weight loss promoting adjuncts, plus CBT for binge eating disorder, low impact activity like swimming or hydrotherapy can be tried along with physiotherapy. Add low calorie high volume foods like green leafy veg and cucumber plus high satiety proteins and fibers. Get thyroid profile, HBA1c and Sleep study for OSA done as well.

Consult with treating psychiatrist
