I don't think most men would be happy if their girlfriend tells them "I wanna gain 35 pounds of weight". It depends on the circumstances. In her case I think it was definitely necessary for her to gain weight, because she was unhealthily lean. I think she looks happier and healthier now. But: If your partner is already overweight that's a totally different situation. In that case a weight gain would be unhealthy for her and to be completely honest, I would try to talk to her and try to convince her not to do it. You can be understanding and sensitive towards your partner even though you have a different opinion.

Hi! I know you posted this two months ago but I'd like to share my experience with you in case it might still be of some help. I started binging this summer almost every night due to dieting and I think it's been two or three months since my last binge. What I did was stop denying myself certain categories of food because the more I restricted the more I wanted. That's how our brains works: what do you think of if I tell you not to think of a red ball? I used to binge on milk and cookies, so I incorporated these foods into my meals again and ate them with no guilt. That's the key: you have to remove any moral judgement from food.... There's no such thing as good or bad food... It's all just food and you can't allow it to define the kind of person you are. You can be bad for stealing etc, not for eating a donut! After I ate a portion of the foods I used to consider as "bad" everyday, I stopped wanting them. They were not special anymore because I knew I could have them whenever I wanted. I had a mindset of abundance, whereas before my subconscious thought that whenever I had the chance to eat milk and cookies I should eat as much as I could, fearing it was the last time I would have the chance. There's nothing wrong with that: it used to be a survival technique for our ancestors who starved everyday until they caught a prey and ate as much as they could because they did not know when their next meal would be. This kind of mentality comes back when we start to restrict our food... It's our brain fearing starvation and protecting us. Just believe that you live in abundance and that all the foods you want are always available, which is the thruth about nowadays society.... food is everywhere. So just wait till you're hungry, sit at a table, plate those foods and eat them just like any normal food. No shame, no guilt. It's a conscious choice you've made. Do this everyday and you'll stop craving and binging. I binged a lot when I started this but making some mistakes is part of every process. I don't even like milk and cookies anymore, they're just like any other food for me now. Sorry for the very long message, but, in case you're still struggling with binge eating, I just wanted you to know you're not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Jeff's glow up is something else

Gunner that is a pretty shallow and fucked up thing to assume. Just because he is a body builder doesn’t mean that he doesn’t enjoy having his woman happy (or enjoying that junk in the trunk). He is a MAN, not a child/boy. A man loves his woman in every single stage that she does through in life and supports her and her changes physically aren’t going to do anything but bring them closer and make them fall even more in love. That’s is what going through a journey in a relationship does..bring two people closer, not to mention, she is somebody that actually follows through, just like a bodybuilder does with bulking and leaning. She isn’t doing this with zero goals in mind. She’s a fucking PhD..she is a dedicated, strong woman that know hat she wants and has goals she is working towards, and right now those the goals are health oriented and also includes gaining that control back over her health and body. Just because that is the way you think means that her man thinks that way. He is in no way a shallow man. I mean..he called her a freaking PIONEER for women...pretty sure he is more in love with her than ever before.

I'm sharing this with ED clients of mine. I like how Jeff described his disordered eating and that you call out how taboo it is to discuss it. I see more people in therapy who come in for feelings of anxiety or depression and we uncover that they restrict, over exercise and don't sleep well. Altering all three of those things will reduce strain on the body, mind, nervous system and allow the body time to heal. I think people are being mis-diagnosed and subsequently medicated when the key to a lot of change is in the basics. Thank you for making this video!

At the same time the brain needs to learn and understand healthy hunger and fullness cues and that can take a while as well.

I'm not necessarily going "all in," but I've recently stopped dieting, after a couple of years of dieting/binging, and it's been life-changing for me, as has you sharing your all in experience. It's so hard to be accepting of your body and to resist the temptation of going back, but at this time in my life, I think listening to my body is the best thing I can do. Thanks for sharing, Steph!

Very “charitable “ 😂😂 I’m definitely a fan of Jeff being more vulnerable and open

He’s really sweet and he clearly adores you just by the way he looks at you. Hope you guys will be happy forever and ever and ever ❤️

I really appreciate Jeff sharing his experience so openly - I relate to him so much and it’s nice to know I’m not alone. Love you guys, love your message - keep up this positive energy you’re exuding because I’m living for it xx

You two are very cute, it’s obvious that he just adores you! Woman to woman, congratulations on feeling happy and healthy. Food issues are tough so when you find what works for you and makes you genuinely content it’s a truly powerful place! 💜

For some reason I always thought Jeff never really cared to eat. But now I see he just has a really good relationship with food. I hope you get there in the end Steph!

You have a relationship with your food?

@@zeon_trl1326 Of course. Relationship is the interaction of two objects and their outcome. An outcome can be positive, negative or neutral. Thus, a relationship with food is achieved when a human eats or does not eat said food. When you have body issues, you tend to create a negative relationship with food. But, Jeff has gotten to a point in life where he can eat whats hee wants without feeling guilty. Healthy relationship!

For someone who has went through this process herself and struggled with binge eating for years this video is so related and you both have such a great relationship.

This was one of the most insightful, honest and encouraging health/fitness videos I’ve ever seen on KZread. Thank you so much for doing what you do, Stephanie 🥰. Sharing your guys’ internal struggle with intense hunger, body image and critics made me truly realize that my relationship with food and my body is forever a work in progress. There is no ultimate goal. And ironically enough, that brings me peace. Knowing that perfection isn’t attainable allows me to accept my mistakes and enjoy the process. I’m confident all the work you put into yourself and your journey will always pay off in some way though!

We are so blessed to have you both in the community. Stephanie definitely took a super courageous and encouraging step to do All In. I mean you are being such a real example! Like you do something different and actually take care of health instead of just looking fit, which is so important to have fitness figure like you for women of all age today! But also for Jeff, to share such things are so incredible of him! I mean male don't really talk much about it, especially body builder and so on, for being real and sharing your stories... SO MUCH RESPECT FOR BOTH OF YOU

This whole “all in” series has been amazing !!! I binged so bad after my shows and gained but my hunger stopped just like yours - my battle now with me is not feeling like i look good without being “stage lean” - struggle is real! Love you steph!!

Stephanie, you’re such a ray of sunshine and I love you and Jeff together!! You’re such and inspiration and my life goals truly!! I wish there was somehow we could meet you, been watching you since the beginning!! 😍😍

I am soooooo happy someone is speaking about about this, I have my own journey with being all in and I know it is super hard to do it, it takes work, you keep doing what is best for you, much love

I cannot tell you how much this video opened my eyes. I have binge eating disorder with some purging and it makes me hopeful that I can overcome. Thank you Stephanie and Jeff!

i would say Jeff is lucky to have a woman like Stephanie, but Stephanie is so lucky to have a boyfriend like Jeff, too. They're just so perfect together and have such an inspiring, loving, communicative, and comforting, and supportive relationship it makes me wanna cry

@@zeon_trl1326 I'd say Jeff and Stephanie are lucky to have each other.

I would LOVE to see Jeff do a science based video/videos on his binge eating to intuitive eating journey. I've struggled with BED for most of my life (since I was 6) so obviously our journeys are drastically different, but getting to a point of being able to eat intuitively seems like such a fairy tale to me. I'd love to see some of his research and tips on it as it is such a taboo subject that no one wants to talk about and people just suffer in silence as a result.

Watching the quality of this relationship is so heartwarming

I appreciate that you guys are using such terms as "extreme hunger" and not labelling this lifestyle as an eating disorder. I think it's important to talk about this kind of stuff with out immediately labeling it as a mental illness. It's something that a lot of people go through, especially those who are involved in sports or fitness. Many don't even realize what's happening while they are going through it. It's also super important to explain the reasons behind why the body will binge or what actually goes on "behind the scenes" when people are going through this.

What a great communication line between you two and hearing Jeff's honest option of what he sees is breathtaking. Great woman. Great man. Loved this video so much!

I used to binge and “purge” all the time and still do occasionally and that section of this video is honestly so helpful

You have no idea how much I needed to see this. I recently had my second child and I am back to my pre pregnancy weight but due to some complications I havent been able to workout. I feel so insecure. My husband however tells me how much he love my body now and how he prefers me this way. I was very thin and lean before. I however am having a very difficult time. It hard to adjust to this new body and let myself heal.

I just want to let both of you know that my entire life changed for the better thanks to you! My approach to food changed completely since I have been struggling with this disorder (and I say "struggling" because I've gone through all this feeling guilty and ashamed along the way - and yeah the phrase "eating in the bathroom so no-one could see" triggered me some bad memories - wish it wasn't a taboo back then and people talked more openly about it like Stephanie does now. I'm sure a lot of people will find this helpful). Also, the Guide to Body Recomposition by Jeff and Chris is something I would definitely recommend! Really helpful book so far!

I can’t believe how much I related to what Jeff said... I just competed in my first figure bodybuilding show in June of this year and I’ve battled with some binge eating, feeling guilty about it and try to compensate with cutting my food the next day. I was severely overweight at one point (200lbs @ 5’2”) in end of 2017/early 2018 so its scary! Thankfully I have a coach who doesn’t believe in a strict reverse diet so I avoided that. I loved this video, thank you for letting me feel not alone!!

Your couple dynamic is absolutely beautiful and raw. Thank you for sharing this with us🧡

Love that you’re doing these videos. Such a positive influence for women. Just wanted to say that while the “all in approach” will help with your hunger cues and help with a healthier mindset around food, it’s important to get help around the psychological component of why there were challenges around eating. Just changing ones eating cannot change why a person was restricting in the first place if that makes sense. Keep it up 💕

Hi Stephanie, thanks for sharing :) I just wanted to say I love how devoted you look to listening to hear him instead of looking at the camera the whole time. I don't really like saying "relationship goals" but communication and deep listening is something i'm definitely working towards ! Love you guys.

Today's my birthday and I've already eaten so much and you've helped me a lot along the way. I also have trouble getting full as I also have extreme hunger after a year of restricting, but being able to eat today without fear has been lovely and i've noticed my weight gain has finally plateau'd and i get full after eating a normal amount of food vs binging. Love you lots Steph. I love seeing you and your All In journey more than I can explain 💕💕💕

Loved this so much! It was so cool to hear his perspective and i think alot of men could learn from Jeff in showing grace and love to their significant others when weight gain is happening or needs to happen. Glad you two have eachother :)

You guys have such a healthy relationship and way of communicating with each other! Jeff is a keeper.

Literal couple goals. I love you both so much ❤️ I have struggled with weight and body image my entire life and the way you talk about fitness and the way you’re both so vulnerable about this new journey keeps me going! ❤️

You’re incredible and have helped with my body image so incredibly much.

Loved this talk! And as a man I can say: first I did experience the same thing you went through with extrem hunger and second I got to the same conclusion as Jeff - it balances out when I take sugar out (but sugar problem is just my thing, I know people who can eat a cookie and be fine). I can balance weight only when I block sugar completely. Then eating to satiety and stay within caloric deficit is fairly easy. So full support to you from yet another man! And thanks for sharing - it helps me to keep on my way with food as well! And happy birthday Jeff!!! Your videos are awesome and really helpful, keep the great work going!

Seriously Jeff is such an angel. Very thankful for men like him.

My all time favourite fitness couple! Supporting each other is really sweet! Happy birthday to Jeef! Have a great year ahead!

I recently discovered you and I just wanted to say that I love your content, the way you express to your viewers and the amount of work that goes in your videos is impressive! Love, love, love them!!!! 💛😍 Keep it up on your all in progress you’re doing doing great. I hope it keeps working on you and most importantly that you’re happy 😃

This is one of the most relatable video I've seen so far related to my recovery from anorexia! I'm fully recovered now and I've noticed how I was also kind of going 'all in' without realizing and have now found my middle point(while gaining weight to bulk) love your videos Stephanie! ♥️♥️

You and Jeff are beautiful people. It was a pleasure to hear his thoughts, and I can see why you say it's noticeably harder when he's not around. I love how much you listen, and have so much gratitude. Your relationship is so lovely.

I adore your guys relationship! So much strength and pure love!!

My gosh, he is adorable. You two make a beautiful couple.

Jeff has the most amazing smile I've ever seen. I love your relationship, you're both lucky to have each other ❤️

You really are a pioneer! I heard about extreme hunger for the first time from you- it nearly had me crying because I'm experiencing it in anorexia recovery. It's probably different from your recovery, because the mental battle of eating is so extreme for me and others with eating disorders, but hearing that my body isnt broken, it's doing what it needs to to function properly, is always a big help. Thank you so much 💕

I really love the way he is looking at u,supporting and loving u! ❤️ you are both so inspiring!

I can't believe I teared up when she gave him a hug and said "You're a good boyfriend" after he said he liked her more now and that he doesn't care if she gain more weight, and the way he looked so humble after she said it @22:02 .....that was the best part of the video for me!

I love how open and honest you guys are!!! It is greatly appreciated!! ❤️❤️

Really appreciate Jeff talking about the post show binge/struggle some experience in bodybuilding. I’m currently 2 months post show and can relate to everything he said. The weight gain, feeling guilty or ashamed, I catch myself nervous to see people I haven’t seen since prep just out of fear of “oh can they tell I’m 30lbs heavier”. Finally getting to my “normal” self with eating habits and actually feeling satiated with food and appetite. Thanks so much to both of you for the vulnerability and openness!

I thoroughly enjoy watching and sensing the dynamic of your relationship. There's such a good and sincere energy between you. If you're thinking about making more videos like this, doubt no more. Please go ahead and do it!

You guys are so cute! When you asked Jeff the last question I was wondering how he'd handle being put on the spot like that (that's a tough one for any guy!) and his response and the interchange between the two of you was just so heartwarming. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️

This was fascinating! Thanks Stephanie for making this vid and coming up with the questions, and thanks Jeff for sharing your experiences with hunger, food, restriction, and binge-eating. You are both very thoughtful people and I'm glad I got to "sit in" on this discussion. :)

You guys are the best!! You honestly look so much happier these days and more confident. You’re just glowing!! I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you. You’re such an inspiration to me!

I had bulimia for 10 years and the binge/purge cycle was SO addictive.

@Amanda R All in will be able to put an e brake on the bulimia as long as you're keeping your mental health in check and are prepared for letting go of your weight. You will peak with weight and hunger and then it starts to regulate, which can take a year give or take. Its a journey but will open your world up to having better relationships, more mental space, heart, energy and positive experience! Best of luck :)

@@CassandraMac thank you for sharing this experience! I'm early into real recovery - finally giving in to the extreme hunger after years of treatment and folks attempting to supervise a reverse-diet. (Fascinating to me that this reverse dieting didn't work for myself or many with EDs and that many body building folks struggle with this approach as well). Accepting the weight-gain and over-shoot is turning out to be the hardest part. Congrats on your recovery, it's always inspiring to hear people make it.

I compete in fitness competitions from time to time, and I'm SO GLAD that there was a discussion about the binges that can follow a competition. Like Jeff said, it's often the "dark side of fitness."

Love this video, Steph! As someone who's struggled with binge eating, I'm so glad to see Jeff being open and honest about his own experiences. I really admire how supportive you both are of each other ❤
