Safe foods are the foods that do not trigger binge eating. That don't start that horrible craving off that takes over our minds and bodies.

They vary in different people.

My safe foods are meats, poultry, eggs, fish, cheese, milk, all veg, all fruit, wholemeal bread, potatoes. Water, tea, coffee. At present, they do change from time to time.

What sets my compulsive overeating off is sugar, processed foods, overly large meals (even of safe foods).

I find if I stick to my safe foods, I can comfortable not binge eat. Once I have some sugar, all bets are off, my body goes into binge mode.

Hope that helps. I expect other people will add to this post.
Thank you so much Peaceful,
I definitely fall here, more so after a night on the wine ….. nothing can help the next day - not even 5000 cals worth of food.
I will be taking more note of what I eat and what is a trigger.....

What an amazing thread and amazing people you all are, I'm so grateful to be part of this.
