Most likely not. meal plan has its place, however, it's usually used for short term.

Meal plan may recreate the rigidity and external control that often fuel binge eating.

We will mostly focus on internal guidance - helping you recognise and respond to your body's hunger, fullness and preferences.

If you're currently very disconnected from these signals, we will use strategies, which may include structured meal time, to recover your internal cues.

Absolutely not. Many of my clients choose not to weigh themselves at all, and I fully support that. If weight is monitored for medical reasons, we can discuss strategies to handle it such as blind-weighing. Your worth isn't determined by a number, and recovery doesn't require tracking it.

No. All foods fit. Seriously. Part of recovery is learning that no food is off-limits, because restriction (even mental restriction—just thinking you "shouldn't" eat something) often triggers bingeing. We'll work on legalising all foods, which paradoxically reduces their power over you.

That's completely valid, and we can still work together. Ambivalence is normal. We can explore what bingeing is doing for you (it's often serving a purpose, like coping with stress or numbing emotions), and work on building other skills while you're figuring things out. You don't have to have it all sorted to start.

Yes. I work with people of all body sizes, and my HAES-aligned approach means I don't pathologise or focus on changing your body size. BED affects people across the weight spectrum, and everyone deserves compassionate, weight-neutral care.

Honestly? It varies. Some people see significant improvement in a few months; for others, it takes a year or more. Recovery isn't just about stopping binge episodes—it's about fundamentally shifting your relationship with food, which takes time. I'd rather be realistic with you than overpromise. What I can say is that most people notice meaningful changes within the first few months, even if full recovery takes longer.

Therapy is invaluable, but sometimes the practical, food-specific piece is missing—that's where dietetic support comes in. Or perhaps the therapy wasn't ED-specialised or took a weight-focused approach, which doesn't work for BED. It's also possible you weren't ready at that time, and that's okay. Where you are now might be different.

This fear is so understandable, especially given diet culture messaging are everywhere around us.

Here's what I know: restriction and the binge-restrict cycle often lead to weight cycling and preoccupation with food. When you stop restricting and start eating regularly and adequately, your body often stabilises. But I won't lie and promise a specific outcome—bodies are diverse, and weight isn't within our direct control. What is within our control is building a peaceful relationship with food, and that's worth pursuing regardless of what your body does.
