Honestly, I do not mean to try to “top” any of the reports above, but this is what was true for me.
Although I had “favorite” foods, of course, I did not have any control pre-keto over my eating. The bingeing would start as soon as I was alone (home, car) and put something in my mouth. I didn’t normally eat breakfast, but when I came home from work at lunch, I’d eat 3-4 big pieces of pizza, chips and dip, sandwiches. - whatever I wanted - until it was time to go back to work. When I got home late afternoon, as soon as I took my coat off, I’d eat something out of stress (peanut butter out of the jar, ice cream, more pizza, leftover take-out, etc.), and I’d have a full out binge until I was stuffed and in a food coma. Then I’d lay down for a 2 hour “nap,” (checking out), get up, have “dinner,” (again, whatever and as much as I wanted), stop, and repeat a couple hours later before I went to bed. This went on since 2007, my last white knuckle conventional diet of any consequence.
“Food” was my trigger. Once I started, I could never manage what I ate or how much. That is why after this went on for years and years and took me to my highest weight and even worse health, I felt gutted and prayed for some “sign” to deliver me from the hell of food addiction. That is when I found keto, my miracle.
