Binge Eating EffectsThe effects of binge eating are a very serious problem in the United States, with millions of Americans suffering from bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Binge eating effects can vary depending on the severity and frequency of binge episodes. The longer one suffers from this condition and treatment is not provided, the more damaging the effects will be. The Effects of Binge Eating DisorderBinge eating is a behavior in which a person eats an exceptionally large quantity of food during a short period of time. Binge eating effects often include feelings of guilt, shame and lack of control. If an individual binges on food and then begins to purge through self-induced vomiting, or uses laxatives, diuretics or excessive exercise, they could be diagnosed with the eating disorder bulimia nervosa.

Effects of Binge Eating in ChildrenIt is no secret that children express concerns over weight and image, and binge eating effects can touch the lives of children as well. The National Eating Disorders Association reports that more than one half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys display unhealthy behaviors such as vomiting or taking laxatives in an effort to control their weight. The same 2005 study revealed that dieting can result in increased risks of binge eating. The study reported that girls who were "dieting" were 12 times more likely to binge than non-dieting girls. Children mirror similar eating disorder symptoms and behaviors as adults. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology showed that binge eating effects for adolescents were similar to the symptoms and requirements of an adult diagnosis of BED. The greatest concern for adolescents with binge eating disorder is the prevalence of obesity. The Weight Control Information Network reports that 17.5 percent of adolescents aged 6 to 11 and 17 percent aged 12 to 19 were overweight between the years 2001 to 2004.
