NOOO MORE SMOOTHIE OR JUICE DIETS LOL

Chantal returns for a sit-down update about her ongoing struggles with food addiction and obesity. She recounts attempting a smoothie diet and a three-day juice detox, describing intense cravings, late-night drives to buy pizza-style grocery buns and an orange-cream drink, and severe withdrawal symptoms on the juice cleanse. After those flops she describes discovering and endorsing the book The Binge Code, which recommends frequent balanced meals (roughly 50% complex carbs, 25% protein, 25% fat), a 'Zen 10' breathing technique to ride out binge urges, and a non-restrictive approach designed for people with disordered eating. She plans to stop short-term weigh-ins, prioritize hormone regulation and gentle walking with a Fitbit, eliminate pork and beef for now, and follow a practical eating plan focused on satiety and healing rather than dieting. She also mentions returning to a variety of video types (cooking, mukbangs, Mystery Monday).
