The common behaviors of a person with binge eating disorder (BED) include:
1. Feelings of guilt or shame after eating large quantities of food
2. Eating very rapidly beyond feelings of fullness
3. Eating alone to hide binge-eating behavior
4. Eating when not hungry
The use of laxatives or enemas to purge excess calories is more characteristic of bulimia nervosa rather than binge eating disorder. Additionally, while individuals with BED may consume fewer calories on some days, the disorder is primarily defined by the binge eating episodes, rather than a consistent pattern of low caloric intake.
