00:00Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about binge eating explained, symptoms, risks, and how to
00:15recover. Binge eating disorder isn't just occasional overeating, like stuffing yourself
00:20on holidays. It's when you regularly lose control around food, at least once a week for three months
00:25or more. 1. You feel out of control. You may eat when you're not hungry, eat alone, or keep going
00:31until you feel sick. Afterward, guilt, shame, or disgust often hit hard. Many people hide their
00:36behavior from others because they're embarrassed. 2. It's not the same as bulimia. Both involve
00:41binging and feeling bad after, but bulimia includes purging, vomiting, using laxatives, or over-exercising.
00:47Binge eating doesn't. 3. Anyone can have it. It affects all genders, ages, sizes, and races.
00:53About 6 million Americans have had it. Women are slightly more affected, but men, especially in
00:58middle age, get it too. Around 1.6% of teens also struggle with it. 4. It often leads to weight gain.
01:06Around two-thirds of people with binge eating disorder are obese. It's common in people seeking
01:10weight loss help. The disorder raises your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2
01:15diabetes. 5. Mental health is tied in. Many also deal with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder,
01:21addiction, poor sleep, low self-esteem, or body image issues. 6. What causes it? There's no single
01:28cause. It's usually a mix of genetics, mental health, past trauma, or even dieting. Stressful
01:34events or sensitivity to food cues like smells or images can also play a role. 7. You can recover.
01:40Recovery starts with getting a proper diagnosis. A doctor or therapist will ask about your eating
01:45habits, emotions, and thoughts about food and your body. 8. Treatment works. Therapy helps.
01:51CBT cognitive behavioral therapy targets harmful thoughts. IPT interpersonal therapy focuses on
01:57relationship issues. A nutritionist can teach you better eating habits and help you track
02:01progress. 9. Medication can help. Some antidepressants and anti-seizure meds
02:06reduce cravings. 5. An ADHD drug is FDA approved for this disorder and may cut down binge episodes.
02:1310. Weight loss is tricky. Binge eating makes weight loss harder. Standard diets may not work.
02:18Some people do better with programs tailored for eating disorders. Ask your doctor what's best for
02:23you. 11. You can prevent it. If you're at risk because of family history, guilt around food,
02:29low self-esteem, or impulsive eating, talk to a professional early. Getting support early can
02:34make a big difference.
