  • Title: Restraint, hunger, and disinhibition following treatment for binge-eating disorder.
    Author: Downe KA, Goldfein JA, Devlin MJ.
    Journal: Int J Eat Disord; 2009 Sep; 42(6):498-504. PubMed ID: 19130489.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in total, flexible and rigid restraint, hunger, and disinhibition in obese individuals with Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), and assess whether these variables are associated with binge abstinence at post-treatment and during two-year follow-up. METHOD: A total of 116 obese individuals with BED were randomized to a 20-week treatment trial plus two-year follow-up. Using the Eating Inventory (EI), we assessed these factors at pretreatment, post-treatment, and follow-up time-points and examined their relationship to binge abstinence at post-treatment, 12- and 24-month follow-up. RESULTS: Low disinhibition and high-total restraint are associated with post-treatment binge abstinence. There are no significant relationships between post-treatment EI variables and binge abstinence at 12- and 24-month follow-up. DISCUSSION: Reducing disinhibition as well as increasing EI dietary restraint during BED treatment may be important for short-term success.
