How I Lost 150 Pounds: Breaking Free From Food Addiction & Binge Eating

The Exam Room By The Physicians Committee

What does it take to break free from food addiction and binge eating? Tania Lyon knows firsthand. For decades, she struggled with morbid obesity, disordered eating, and the cycle of restriction and relapse. At her heaviest (likely more than 300 pounds), she feared for her health, and even simple tasks like tying her shoes were difficult.

But today, Tania has lost 150 pounds and found balance. Not through perfection, but through a deep understanding of her own hunger drive and a strategy of eating when hungry.

In this episode of The Exam Room, Tania shares:

- The foods that once triggered binges and how she avoids them now

- What finally worked for her

- The role of plant-based eating in her long-term transformation

- Why "eating when hungry" is more complex than it sounds
