  • Title: Dieting, binge eating, and some of their correlates among secondary school girls.
    Author: Huon GF.
    Journal: Int J Eat Disord; 1994 Mar; 15(2):159-64. PubMed ID: 8173561.
    Abstract:
    A total of 440 girls from three private schools in Sydney completed a self-report questionnaire that asked about their body- and weight-related attitudes and practices, and assessed their reactions to the phenomenology of binge eating. The findings emphasize the integral relationship between dieting and disordered eating. Those who wanted to lose at least 7 kg, and were dieting most of the time, were more likely to be categorized as having a "severe" binge eating problem than were those who were happy with their weight and were "never" or "rarely" dieting.
