Binge Eating Binge eating is a kind of eating disorder in which a person feels compelled to overeat on a regular basis through regular binges.People who binge eats consume very large quantities of food over a short period of time, even when they are not hungry.In some of the rare cases, people describe themselves as being in a "dazed state" during a binge – particularly binges during the night – and they are not able to recall what they ate.People who binge eats feel they have no control over their eating. Sometimes they binge in private as they feel embarrassed, guilty or disgusted with their behavior after they have finished eating.

Who is affected from Binge eating? Anyone can be affected by binge eating. While the condition is slightly more common in women than men, the numbers of men and women affected are more equal than in other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa.The disease tends to develop first in young adults, however many people do not seek help until they are in their 30s or 40s.Generally it is estimated that around 1 in 30 to 1 in 50 people have chances of developing binge eating disorder at some point during their life.
