Binge-eating disorder is the most common eating disorder in the U.S.
A severe, life-threatening and treatable eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food (often very quickly and to the point of discomfort)
You’re much more likely to overeat if you have junk food, desserts, and unhealthy snacks in the house. Remove the temptation.
Learn to distinguish between physical and emotional hunger.
Instead of eating mindlessly, be a mindful eater. Slow down and savor the textures and flavors.
Don’t wait until you’re starving. This only leads to overeating! Stick to scheduled mealtimes, as skipping meals often leads to binge eating later in the day.
Dietary fat can actually help keep you from overeating and gaining weight. It keeps you feeling satisfied and full.
Instead of snacking when you're bored, distract yourself.
