A light salad. Maybe skip lunch. It sounds smart. It sounds like the responsible thing to do. But that little plan to make up for it? It sets up your next overeating episode. In this episode I break down the binge-restrict cycle — the hidden loop that keeps almost everyone stuck. I'll show you why trying to stop yourself right before you eat almost never works, why beating yourself up after only makes it worse, and the easiest place to step out of the cycle (it's probably not where you think). If you've been working so hard and still feel out of control around food, this one's for you. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/thriving-as-a-physician-how-to-lose-weight-love-your-life-78081/episodes/the-binge-restrict-cycle/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/thriving-as-a-physician-how-to-lose-weight-love-your-life-78081/the-binge-restrict-cycle.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
