BINGE EATING DISORDER
DEFINITION |
|
|
|
Binge eating disorder (BED) is
characterized by a loss of control over eating behaviors. The binge
eater consumes unnaturally large amounts of food in a short time
period, but unlike a bulimic, does not regularly engage in any
inappropriate weight-reducing behaviors (for example, excessive
exercise, vomiting, taking laxatives) following the binge episodes. |
