You are Binge Eating (Even on Healthy foods)
Binge eating (consumption of large quantities of food) is the most common side effect of dieting. It involves rapidly eating large amounts of food, often much more than your body actually needs. Many dieters binge on junk foods, while others on relatively healthy foods (nuts, cheese, etc).
Even if something is a healthy food, its calories still count. Depending on the quantity, a single binge can often ruin an entire week’s worth of effort to lose weight.
