Objective Binge Eating

The amount of objective binge eating episodes greatly reduced when controlling for baseline depression scores amongst pre- and post-treatment over time, however, there was no significant difference found over time for the number of days on which objective binge episodes happened (Courbasson, 2011). However, between pre- and post-treatment, significant changes were reported on the EDE-Q Eating concern scores, EDE-Q Shape concern scores, EDE-Global scores, and EDE-Q Restraint scores. Participants in the group decreased their concerns regarding their shape, weight, eating habits, and worries pertaining to restraint over eating. Treatment outcomes over the sixteen-week period indicated that functioning was significant as it related to the binge
eating episodes but proved no difference for the number of days in which the episodes occurred. As hypothesized, MACBT would have substantial benefits on numerous abnormal cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions related to binge-eating disorder.
