Stop resticting: In our experience, binge eating can be fueled by many things, but two common ones would be: 1. Restricting food intake when not bingeing, especially fat 2. Metabolic disorders such as leptin resistance and Insulin resistance.

Psychotherapy: Get a complete physical to make sure BED is not compromising your health. Seek therapy with a qualified professional. BED is a way of coping with conflicts and emotions. When you identify what you are using food to deal with (ie, anxiety,fear, relationships) then you can find new ways of coping. You also must learn to respond to yourself in words instead of behavior. There is hope.
