Notas do Editor
“ Binge eating disorder is characterized by eating a large quantity of food in a short period of time, two or more times per week.” “ Binge eaters differ from bulimics in that they do not purge, fast or over-exercise to compensate for the calories they consume.” -Seem to diet because they binge instead of binge because they diet as in bulimia nervosa.
