Binge eating and by-eating: What’s the difference?
Recently I talked about binge-eating disorder (BED) being the most widespread of eating disorders. But when it comes to binge eating, I suspect there are few of us who haven’t gone on a binge from date to duration. You know, like that duration you polished off the entire tray of brownies, or you put absent five slices of pizza in one sitting. But binge-eating disorder is vastly different from ‘normal’ overeating. Here are some key differences, according to Psych Central:
- Those with BED feel very ashamed when they overeat. whether there’s no onslaught of emotion after the binge, it’s not BED
- Those with BED don’t like to binge in public/
- When it’s BED, the binges occur frequently — at leasttwice a week for six months
- Those who suffer from BED don’t feel physiological cues like starvation or fullness - they’re more focused on emotional cues.
whether you think you may suffer from BED, contact your doctor.
