The other day I discussed the definition of binge eating according to DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria. Staticics show that 25% to 50% obese people binge. According to the Institute for Natural Resources a continuing education program for health professionals suggested that people can recover by utilizing two special tools:1. Get professional help. They suggest specific counseling utilizing edreferral.com to find someone qualified.
2. Read and utilize the book : Overcoming Binge Eating
by Christopher Fairburn. It is an older publication but there have been quite favorable results using it. It is a workbook so it does mean you will be exploring your feelings and emotions.It was interesting to note too that the success rate using these two things together that the success rate was 63%. Pretty high odds considering most diets fail in the long haul by about 95%.
