1 answer

A common result of extreme dieting by people with a binge eating disorder is hunger leading to further binges and more dieting. Extreme dieting can create a cycle of restriction and subsequent overeating, which often exacerbates the binge eating behavior. This cycle can make it difficult for individuals to achieve a healthy relationship with food and may lead to more severe psychological and physical consequences.
