  • Title: Binge eating and weight loss in a self-help behavior modification program.
    Author: Delinsky SS, Latner JD, Wilson GT.
    Journal: Obesity (Silver Spring); 2006 Jul; 14(7):1244-9. PubMed ID: 16899805.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To examine the occurrence of binge eating and its impact on weight loss outcomes among obese participants in the Trevose Behavior Modification Program, a lay-administered, lay-directed self-help weight loss program offering continuing care. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Participants completed questionnaires, and weight loss data were recorded prospectively. RESULTS: Although objective bulimic episodes were reported by 41% of the sample, objective bulimic episodes were not associated with worse weight loss outcomes. Mean weight loss after 12 months was 18.2 kg (18.8% of initial body weight) for the treatment completers and 10.3 kg (10.5% of initial body weight) for the full sample (using intent-to-treat analyses, with baseline scores carried forward). DISCUSSION: Substantial long-term weight loss, resulting from a continuing care treatment program, occurred in individuals both with and without frequent binge eating.
