Thank you. Yeah, it seems I have binge eating disorder. Hopefully it's not all the time that happens but sometimes I seem a demon possessed with the thought of food. I know this is not physical hunger but more like a escape for boredom or stress. I did some search and discovered that fasting and restricting calories actually makes binge eating more likely to occur. I don't feel deprived even if I eat less than others, I never ate a lot anyway(with the expecting of binge eating sometimes), but i feel that I eat to answer my emotional needs. I really want to break that habit but at the same time I don't want to abandon time restricted feeding or the CR diet for their health benefits.

Hello, I am new here and this is my first post. I am 19 years old and I've been in a CR diet not a long time ago since I discovered that this diet can promote longevity. I first weighted 48/49 kg in a healthy diet and without restricting. Now I weight 45 kg and want to maintain my weight since i am in a bmi of 18 and maybe lose more weight could be dangerous because it goes more in depth towards an unhealthy bmi. Today I decided to fast and didn't eat breakfast but because I live with my parents at 1 pm i ate lunch with my dad and mom although I was not hungry and could fast for more hours. I ate a small portion for lunch as always and ditched the pork for nuts. The problem was that after lunch I snacked in fruits nuts and crackers maybe until 3/3:30pm. I ate until I couldn't eat more. Afterwards, I felt less energetic and disconfortable. Someone has struggled with emotional and binge eating in the past too? This will wreck with my metabolism right? I've been wanting to slow my metabolism to rip the benefits of longevity but sometimes this happens when I can't stop thinking about food although I am not physical hungry and when I snack until I am totally stuffed. Please any advice or recommendations of books, websites etc that you can give me to deal with my problem whould be appreciated. I really want to change this habit and be more mindful about my food intake to rip the benefits of CR.
