"Am I developing Binge Eating Disorder?"

This is something many people wonder when they start their recovery from a restrictive eating disorder and begin to experience extreme hunger.

Why binge eating disorder and extreme hunger seem to have the exact same symptoms?

But actually, they DON'T have the exact same symptoms!

There is one KEY factor that is MISSING from binge eating disorder symptoms but IS present in extreme hunger. And this alone explains why you are NOT developing BED but are just experiencing extreme hunger.

What key symptom differentiates extreme hunger vs binge eating disorder:

In DSM-IV and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for binge-eating disorder says that one requirement to diagnose someone with BED is: “The binge eating is not associated with the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behavior (e.g., purging, fasting, excessive exercise) and does not occur exclusively during the course of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.”

Yes, you read that right “BED is NOT associated with the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behavior”. So if you are recovering from a restrictive eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia, overexercising or dieting you cannot have BED because you HAVE restricted and compensated calories.

When you come from restrictive past you ARE simply experiencing extreme hunger that is normal in recovery and will pass.

This is why it's critical to understand about extreme hunger and the affect restriction, starvation, dieting, and compensation has on your body and how it affects your hunger cues.

To diagnose someone with BED they should have no restriction, dieting or compensation in present or before the binges happened!
