Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a serious eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often accompanied by a sense of loss of control. Unlike other eating disorders, individuals with BED do not regularly engage in compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise. This disorder can lead to emotional distress, physical health issues, and difficulties in daily life. Seeking professional help, such as nutritional therapy in Calgary, can be an essential step in overcoming binge eating disorder and regaining a balanced relationship with food.
Binge eating disorder can manifest in different ways, including:
Frequent episodes of excessive food consumption, often triggered by emotions rather than hunger.
Using food as a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional struggles.
Binge eating that primarily occurs during nighttime, leading to disrupted sleep and eating patterns.
Persistent and long-term binge eating episodes that significantly impact mental and physical health.
Amy Bondar’s comprehensive Binge Eating Disorder Coaching in Calgary will help you address underlying nutrition, emotional and psychological factors.
There is no single cause of binge eating disorder; rather, it develops from a combination of genetic, psychological, nutritional, and environmental factors. Some common causes include:
● Emotional Distress – Stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression can contribute to disordered eating habits.
● Biological Factors – Imbalances in brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine may affect eating behaviors.
● Dieting and Food Restrictions – Repeated cycles of restrictive dieting can increase the likelihood of binge eating episodes.
● Low Self-Esteem – Negative body image and feelings of self-worth can fuel unhealthy eating patterns.
● Family and Social Influences – Childhood experiences, family history of eating disorders, or societal pressure to maintain a certain body image.
Recognizing these underlying causes is crucial in developing a personalized holistic roadmap.
