B. intense fear of gaining weight, or becoming fat, even though underweight C. disturbance in the way in which body weight or shape is experienced with undue influence of body weight on self-evaluation, or denial of seriousness of current low body weight Restricting type - no bingeing or purging during last 3 months Binge - eating / purging type - regular bingeing or purging during last 3 months

Eating in a discrete period of time an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat in similar time and under similar circumstances 2. Sense of lack of control over eating B.
