Daily stress, coping, and dietary restraint in binge eating

Abstract

Vulnerability to binge eating in women who differ in terms of dietary restraint level may vary as a function of their coping responses to stress. Results highlight the complexities of stress and coping in binge eating.

Emotion regulation and binge eating in children

“…It was also associated with external eating which has previously been shown to be more prevalent than emotional and restrained eating in children 61,62 and also with emotional eating. Against our expectation and in contrast to studies involving adolescents 26 and adults [39][40][41][42][43] no significant correlations of maladaptive emotion regulation and eating disorder psychopathology were found. We assume that in our case this is a methodological problem due to the fact that the subscales of the ChEDE are highly specific, cognitive constructs while emotion regulation is a global construct including cognitive and behavioral components.…”

“…60 A measurement of the pubertal stage should be included in future research to control developmental effects. As hypothesized and in line with former studies on adolescents 22,26 and adults, 42 use of maladaptive regulation strategies was strongly correlated with depressive symptoms. It was also associated with external eating which has previously been shown to be more prevalent than emotional and restrained eating in children 61,62 and also with emotional eating.…”

“…Early studies showed that eating psychopathology was associated with an increased use of maladaptive coping and a decreased use of adaptive coping in a nonclinical population 36 and in adults with eating disorders. 37,38 Furthermore, emotion-focused and avoidance distraction coping strategies were positively related to binge eating, disordered eating attitudes, and dieting in adults, 39 mostly young women [40][41][42][43] and women with eating disorders. 44 Although deficits in emotion regulation seem to be present in samples with LOC eating, 45 it remains unclear which aspects of emotion regulation are problematic and associated with disordered eating.…”

Role of Orexin-1 Receptor Mechanisms on Compulsive Food Consumption in a Model of Binge Eating in Female Rats

“…A large body of evidence suggests that dieting, stress, and negative affective states represent possible triggers of BE in patients suffering from BED or bulimia nervosa (Wardle et al, 2000;Freeman and Gil, 2004). Indeed, dieting periods are common in the histories of binge eaters, although hunger itself does not appear to be enough to induce BE in the absence of stress and negative affective state (Polivy et al, 1994;Waters et al, 2001).…”

Psychosocial preventive interventions for obesity and eating disorders in youths

“…IPT was originally developed in the late 1960s by Gerald Klerman and colleagues for the treatment of depression (Klerman et al, 1984). IPT is a brief, timelimited therapy that focuses upon improving interpersonal functioning and, in turn, psychiatric symptoms, by relating symptoms to interpersonal problem areas and developing strategies for dealing with these problems (Freeman & Gil, 2004;Klerman et al, 1984). Since such time, IPT was successfully modifi ed for adolescent depression (Mufson et al, 2004b) and for individuals with binge eating disorder (Wilfl ey et al, 2000).…”
