Today, our guest Chase Smith, online personal trainer, nutrition and mindset coach! By addressing the root causes and developing sustainable fat loss plans, he helps others transform their lives just as he transformed his own.

In today’s episode, we dive into the significant differences between overeating, binge eating, and binge eating disorder, shedding light on the confusion and misconceptions that commonly surround these terms. We discuss how the identities of being a “binge eater” or an “overeater” often do more harm than good and reinforce unhealthy patterns and thoughts. We discuss the big 4 reasons binge eating happens, and chat about daily food habits, snacking, conscious eating, some common dietary pitfalls and how they relate to satisfaction and fullness.

We explore the usefulness of canned goods, high volume foods, and their role in a balanced diet, and how ignoring hunger cues can lead to unhelpful eating habits like binge eating. We discuss the connection between food insecurity and emotional eating, debunk one commonly held misconception for those grappling with food insecurity, and talk emotional restriction and it’s effects on our overall wellbeing.

“We need to start connecting those dots. We can’t go back and change what just happened, but we can learn from it. So when it happens again – because a lot of those old behaviors are ingrained, they’re gonna happen a couple times before we get used to it – what can we do next time to prepare for it?”

- Chase Smith

“Stop snacking yourself away all day long and expecting to feel satisfied and full.”

“Her aha moment was: just because you have a mindset shift and realize something about yourself doesn’t mean you have super powers and you’re never going to experience it again.”

- Brooke Madigan
