The binge eating cycle
Hosted by - Bronte Lister (Accredited Practising Dietitian)
In this episode of the All Bodies Sports Nutrition Podcast, we dive into the binge eating cycle, examining the reasons it happens, the physical and emotional impacts it can have, and practical strategies for breaking free. Whether you’re personally affected or simply want to understand more about how to support a loved one, this conversation sheds light on the complex interplay of emotions, hunger, and habit that often drives the cycle.
In this episode, we unpack binge eating and the binge-restrict cycle, looking at:
- Common Triggers: Emotional, psychological, situational, and physical triggers, such as stress, body image concerns, social situations, and restrictive dieting.
- The Cycle: How post-binge emotions like guilt, shame, and fear lead to compensatory behaviours, which often reinforce the binge cycle.

We all know that exercise is important for our physical and mental health. There’s so much evidence to back this up and we’ve been told since we were kids.
However, in reality, I don’t always feel better after training and thinking about exercise can often spark feelings of anxiety or even guilt. Now, as a dietitian who is talking to clients every day about what its like living in our bodies, I know that I am not alone. I know that movement can be especially tricky for people in larger bodies or those living with a chronic condition or impairment.
So we wanted chat with an expert about this topic and hear their insights.
Today we are joined by exercise physiologist Michael Bates sharing his insights and experience on the links between mental health & movement.
