How to Control Binge Eating

BINGE EATING DISORDER is a newly recognized condition that affects millions of Americans on a variety of levels. People who struggle with binge eating frequently eat large amounts of food while feeling a loss of control.

The HealthMedia^® Overcoming^TM Binge Eating program uses evidence based techniques to help individuals stop binge eating and compulsive eating, battle obesity, and improve their overall quality of life. Through a series of interactive exercises, participants establish a pattern of regular meals and snacks, while learning strategies to curb urges to overeat.

Program features include:

Overcoming misconceptions about eating and dieting
Overcoming misconceptions about weight and weight loss
Identifying and managing triggers for binge eating
Changing thinking patterns that lead to eating problems
Developing strategies to prevent overeating
Preventing relapse

Overcoming^TM Binge Eating has been used successfully by thousands of people throughout the world. Initial research shows that those who participated were able to achieve significant reductions in binge frequency at 90 and 180 days, as well as a significant reduction in depression and anxiety.
