Fruits in moderation for sugar cravings.
I know fruits and vegetables get a bad rap but they're WAY .
uh???
Why do fruits and vegetables have a bad rap???
I would recommend that is the way to be healthy, IS a LOT of fruits and vegetables...60% carbs for a good runner, and most of that should be vegetables and fruit...only 10% needs to be protein and 30% fat.
Its clearly a psychological reason for binging. The OP knows what is healthy, but has cravings for unhealthy food and binges when she does eat them...
I think it boils down to convincing yourself that a healthier version of your junk food is indulgent...and that might help satisfy you...but avoid loosing control. Something like yogurt and strawberries is your indulgence for the day, and have something like that everyday, in moderation, thus you don't feel like you are living a life of deprivation of sweets or yummy food, and when you let go you can't stop...
Also you can log your food, and thus there is accountability for everything you eat, and when you over eat force yourself to log that too.. I really like the App my Fitness Pal for logging diet and exercise.
