Sometimes you end up overeating because it was your favourite meal.

But binge eating is different; it is about consuming large quantities of food very quickly, even when you're not hungry; it just becomes a knack.

When it happens once in a while, then it is normal, but if it turns into a disorder, then it becomes problematic.

Binge eating disorder is a serious condition, although it can be treated.

The embarrassment exists, but the urge to eat surpasses that, and the person can't stop from binge eating.

The problem is not just about overeating. Instead, the results can cause additional health problems like high cholesterol levels or even diabetes.

"Up to 50% of people with BED have obesity. However, the disorder is also an independent risk factor for gaining weight and developing obesity. This is due to the increased calorie intake during binging episodes. On its own, obesity increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. However, some studies have found that people with BED have an even greater risk of developing these health problems, compared with people with obesity of the same weight who don’t have BED."
