Do you have clients that:

  • step on the scale, feel dissatisfied and restrict their food intake
  • believe that eating normally throughout the day will cause extreme eating all the time
  • struggle with overwhelming urges to eat and cravings
  • experience guilt, shame and fear associated with overeating
  • feel preoccupied with food and apply all-or-nothing thinking to food behaviours
  • feel deprived (mentally, emotionally and physically)
  • live in a low-level chronic state of stress about food, weight and exercise
  • starve themselves all day in anticipation of a large meal

Your clients are likely stuck in the binge-restrict cycle, also known as the self-deprivation set up!!!

This non-branded handout helps your clients to see how the cycle of restriction can lead to overeating. It provides a great visual accompaniment of the concepts and can support in-session conversations. Whether you are pulling together a holiday themed workshop, supporting individual clients or fielding questions from friends and family, this resource teaches without overwhelm.

Build on this concept with the Understanding Bingeing & Emotional Eating Handout which reviews triggers for bingeing (including restriction) in more detail!
