How could someone develop a binge eating disorder?

Q. If one were wanting to develop a binge eating disorder, how would they do it. What would they have to do to develop it?

A. A binge eating disorder does not appear all of a sudden. Instead, it build up over time. Firstly, you might have experienced some traumatic event or just feeling really stressed out lately. When you are stressed out, you eat more. Eating releases "feel good" hormones into your brain and provides a distraction against the outside world because you're too busy concentrating on how good the food tastes to be able to think about anything else. You eat far beyond the point of actual physical hunger. Your stomach may feel completely bloated, yet it's like your body is on automatic and you just can't stop eating. Some people have even passed out from it. Then, when you finally stop, you start feeling horribly guilty. You try to purge the excess calories by overexercising, laxatives or vomiting. Problem solved! Only... it isn't. Eating may have temporarily distracted you, but it does nothing to solve the actual problem. The root of the problem is still there and so you binge again. And you purge. And you binge. And you purge. It's a vicious cycle.. It does not matter what the food you are eating (I used to binge on carrot sticks), only the desire to escape and the guilt that follows afterwards. Not all people purge. Some just compulsively overeat. It's like a drug, a habit, an addiction and one which is extremely hard to break. Do not do it. Please. It may seem like a good escape route at the time, but at the end of the day, it will destroy you.


What is a good diet plan for a person with Binge Eating Disorder?
Q. I have Binge Eating Disorder. I need to lose about 30-40 pounds to be healthy. I am looking for a healthy diet that I can be successful on.

A. im not sure what binge eating disorder is, but im assuming it means you binge eat. if thats the case id recommend intermittent fasting. itd probably be perfect for you. it means youd eat all your food for the day in a window of 4-8 hours everday, with the window being the same everyday. it helps most people with hunger issues, and since you eat all your food so close together binging a bit would be fine. especially if you binge on healthy food. youd have to pick a diet style to go along with that, but theres no way to recommend a best one because different ones are best for different people, and itd take a lot more details about you to begin to find a good one for you. any diet with adequate protein will be fine though, 1g of protein for every pound of your ideal body weight is fine. so if you want to weigh 130 youd eat 130g of protein every day. that helps stop muscle loss to make sure almost all the weight you lose is fat.
