Obese Women Who Diet Not at Risk for Binge Eating

Obese women shouldn't fear the rumors of a low-calorie diet leading to a binge-eating disorder. New study findings say that obese women who diet for 10 months are no more likely to develop a binge-eating disorder that those who don't diet at all. Doctors say that women of this stature shouldn't be deterred from trying to lose weight by following a well balanced diet and exercise. Dr. Thomas A. Wadden and a team of researchers examined the risk of binge eating in 123 obese women who were followed for 40 weeks on particular diets. Studies and observations showed that all the women (though put on different types of low-cal. diets), had similar results throughout the diet time period. In the end, all were happier with their bodies and none had developed a binge-eating disorder. Hopefully this article will clear up the misunderstandings of diets.
