Binge Eating Disorder

Your Journey to Freedom

Overcoming Binge Eating Disorder

Are you or a loved one living with the challenges of Binge Eating Disorder (BED)? Do you experience guilt after indulging in foods you think you shouldn’t? Are you tired of feeling out of control with your eating habits? You’re not alone. At Nutrition Braved, we understand the struggle of breaking free from these patterns. We want to support you in gaining control, learning to neutralize all foods, and embracing the idea that every food can fit into a balanced diet.

Understanding BED:

Binge-eating disorder is characterized by the regular consumption of significantly large quantities of food, often accompanied by a sense of losing control over eating behavior. Skipping meals or engaging in restrictive diets can intensify these episodes. This can result in feelings of embarrassment, frustration, and distorted body image. Also, it creates an unhealthy relationship with food that affects both physical and mental well-being.

Signs You or a Loved One May Be Struggling with BED:

Frequent Episodes of Overeating: Repeated occurrences of consuming an unusually large quantity of food within a discrete period.
Loss of Control: Feeling unable to stop eating during a binge episode, even when full.
Emotional Eating: Binge episodes often occur in response to negative emotions, stress, or other emotional triggers.
Eating Alone: A tendency to eat in secret or alone during binge episodes due to shame or embarrassment.
Feelings of Guilt and Shame: Experiencing intense guilt and self-criticism after binge eating episodes.
Impact on Physical and Emotional Health: Binge eating can result in physical health consequences, such as weight gain and related health issues, as well as emotional distress.
