My years in the fitness racket have taught me many things about people, and one of them is that binge eating is far more common than I previously realized.

In many cases, it\u2019s prompted by extreme forms calorie restriction like water fasting, detox diets, and the like, and in others, it\u2019s the result of bad eating habits developed on the way to becoming overweight.

Binge eating isn\u2019t just a problem for overweight people, though. There are many fit people out there, usually ones trying to maintain very low levels of body fat for one reason or another (social media, usually), who binge and purge rather regularly.

Regardless of how fit or fat someone is, however, bingeing is a problem, and even when it\u2019s done more \u201cstrategically\u201d by drastically undereating for a period before or after a binge to keep body fat levels generally in an acceptable range.

That approach can work for maintaining a nice looking body composition, of course, but it\u2019s unsustainable and unhealthy, both physically and psychologically. It takes its toll, which often includes eating and body disorders.

That\u2019s why I invited Carter Good to come on the show. Carter lost 140 pounds\u2014partly with the help of my Bigger Leaner Stronger program\u2014and now has a large following built mostly through sharing simple, effective, science-based weight loss strategies and runs a successful fat loss coaching service.

One of the biggest obstacles Carter ran into in his journey from 305 to 165 pounds was binge eating, and as you\u2019d expect, many of his clients come to him struggling with it as well. In this interview, he\u2019s going to share his most helpful observations, recommendations, and insights on how to beat binge eating once and for all.
