Q. what is binge eating exactly? What qualifies? Whats the difference between binging and just eating a lot one night?
A. Basically, a binge is when you don't feel as if you have control over it. You will keep eating and eating, feeling as if someone has taken over your body and you literally CANNOT stop. You're not hungry, yet you keep eating because it gives you a tiny sense of pleasure.
Eating a lot of food doesn't count as a binge if you're actually hungry, you feel completely sane while eating it, and you stop when you feel full. Everyone overeats every once in a while. You only have to worry about it if it gets to the point where it turns into BED (binge eating disorder) or CED (compulsive eating disorder.)

How does binge eating hurt my body?
Q. Aside from weight gain, what other physiological disadvantages are there to binge eating? Perhaps knowledge of these will deter me from binge eating.
I can imagine that it's not so good for the heart, metabolism, etc.
Thanks very much

A. Binge eating can throw your entire metabolism out of whack with as few as one or two episodes.
Human metabolism isn't based on the quality of the food we digest, but the quantity; how MUCH we eat. Binge eating any kind of food will send a rush of comestibles for your body to process and break down into nutrition. Your metabolism will change AFTER changing your eating habits.
If you, for example, were eating a normal diet and then consumed a large amount of food, your metabolism would attempt to compensate by speeding up, expecting that your next meal will be as large. If it isn't, the new metabolic potential you've taught yourself is basically wasted and you feel hungry the next day, and it will all slow back down if you don't binge again within a few days.
The best answer to counteracting that sort of thing is to watch what you eat if you can't control the binging. Large amounts of nuts, fruit, or other healthy foods will speed up your metabolism as quickly as any other food. Foods rich in capsaicin, like jalapeños or hot sauce (capsaicin is what makes things spicy) are currently being researched as possible substances to quickening metabolism by themselves.
Heart problems, again, are dependent on what you eat. If you're binging McDonalds, your heart is going to suffer, but if you binge with healthy foods as I mentioned above, your heart may actually benefit from an increase in present nutrition if your diet isn't normally comprised of so many healthy foods.
Exercise too, of course, increases metabolic rate significantly; exercise expands the actin and myosin fibers in your muscles, which means that your caloric burn for the day will increase, even if you don't participate in strenuous activity.
I hope this helped. Good luck!
