Treatment for Binge Eating Disorder

by Amit M. SEO | YouTube Content Creator

Individuals with binge eating disorder (BED) experience recurrent episodes of eating too much, eating too quickly, and eating until they’re painfully full. They also regularly feel ashamed, disgusted, distressed, and depressed about their bingeing.

BED is the most common eating disorder in women. It can start in late adolescence, though it does affect younger ages, as well.

Thankfully, you can overcome this disorder through binge eating therapy.

There are plenty of strategies you can try - both at home and with the help of a professional - to reduce episodes of binge eating.

  • Studies show that fasting or eliminating certain foods from your diet may be associated with increased cravings and overeating. Focus on eating healthy foods instead of dieting or cutting out certain foods completely.
  • Adhering to a regular eating pattern can reduce the risk of overeating and may be associated with lower levels of ghrelin and fasting blood sugar.
  • Practicing mindfulness can help you recognize when you’re no longer hungry, which can improve your eating behaviors and reduce the incidence of binge eating.
  • Drinking more water can keep you feeling full to decrease calorie intake and prevent binge eating.
  • Yoga can help prevent binge eating and may reduce common triggers like stress, depression, and anxiety.
  • Fiber can help keep you feeling full to reduce calorie intake and feelings of hunger.
  • Removing unhealthy foods from your kitchen and stocking up on healthy alternatives can improve diet quality and make it harder to binge eat.
  • Studies show that exercising can reduce the risk of binge eating and decrease stress levels.
  • A good social support system may be linked to decreased binge eating and stress.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered an effective treatment method for binge eating.

BED is a recognized psychological condition that affects millions of people around the world. However, it’s possible to overcome it with the right treatment plan and healthy lifestyle modifications.
