“…In this same study, responses of the type “feeling totally out of control” and “a binge is not being able to stop eating or stop before it’s all gone” were typical across participants 21. However, at least one study that compared treatment-seeking obese females with BED to obese females without BED (but did not report a loss of control regarding their eating) did not report consistent differences in eating symptoms or general psychopathology between these groups 27. The authors suggested that the lack of differentiations in this study could partly be due to the fact that all participants in the study were treatment-seeking and may have been exhibiting higher-level eating disorders and psychopathology than non-treatment-seeking individuals who are obese.…”

The objective of this review was to examine the evidentiary basis for binge eating disorder (BED) with reference to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for BED. A PubMed search restricted to titles and abstracts of English-language reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, journal articles, and letters using human participants was conducted on August 7, 2015, using keywords that included “binge eating disorder,” DSM-5, DSM-IV, guilt, shame, embarrassment, quantity, psychological, behavior, and “shape and weight concerns.” Of the 257 retrieved publications, 60 publications were considered relevant to discussions related to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and were included in the current review, and 20 additional references were also included on the basis of the authors’ knowledge and/or on a review of the reference lists from relevant articles obtained through the literature search. Evidence supports the duration/frequency criterion for BED and the primary importance of loss of control and marked distress in identifying individuals with BED. Although overvaluation of shape/weight is not a diagnostic criterion, its relationship to the severity of BED psychopathology may identify a unique subset of individuals with BED. Additionally, individuals with BED often exhibit a clinical profile consisting of psychiatric (eg, mood, obsessive–compulsive, and impulsive disorders) and medical (eg, gastrointestinal symptoms, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes) comorbidities and behavioral profiles (eg, overconsumption of calories outside of a binge eating episode and emotional eating). Future revisions of the BED diagnostic criteria should consider the inclusion of BED subtypes, perhaps based on the overvaluation of shape/weight, and an evidence-based reassessment of severity criteria.

“…This possibility is tentative, given the mounting empirical support for BED being distinct from overeating (Striegel-Moore & Franko, 2008). However, there is some evidence that, for some, overeating may resemble binge eating in terms of subjective experience (Telch, Pratt, & Niego, 1998) and clinical covariates (Antoniou, Tasca, Wood, & Bissada, 2003) or be a stage in the syndrome (Eldredge & Agras, 1996).…”

Although college women are known to be at high risk for eating-related problems, relatively little is known about how various aspects of concerns related to eating, weight, and shape are patterned syndromally in this population. Moreover, the extent to which various patterns represent stable conditions or transitory states during this dynamic period of development is unclear. The current study used latent class and latent transition analysis (LCA/LTA) to derive syndromes of concerns related to eating, weight, and shape and movement across these syndromes in a sample of 1,498 women ascertained as first-time freshmen and studied over four years. LCA identified five classes characterized by: (1) no obvious pathological eating-related concerns (prevalence: 28 to 34%); (2) a high likelihood of limiting attempts (prevalence: 29 to 34%); (3) a high likelihood of overeating (prevalence: 14 to 18%); (4) a high likelihood of limiting attempts and overeating or binge eating (prevalence: 14 to 17%); and (5) pervasive bulimic-like concerns (prevalence: 6 to 7%). Membership in each latent class tended to be stable over time. When movement occurred, it tended to be to a less severe class. These findings indicate that there are distinct, prevalent, and relatively stable forms of eating-related concerns in college women.

“…Studies evaluating the characteristics of treatment‐seeking obese individuals with and without BED have failed to find significant differences between the groups in terms of eating behaviours or other psychopathology, suggesting that obese treatment‐seeking individuals may present similarly in clinical settings regardless of whether or not they have BED or engage in binge eating behaviours (Antoniou, Tasca, Wood, & Bissada, ; Decaluwe & Braet, ). However, obese individuals with BED may differ biologically from obese individuals without BED (Succurro et al, ), limiting their response to obesity treatments.…”
