Precisely defining binge eating can be problematic, however binge eating episodes in BED are generally described as having the following potential features:

Eating much faster than normal, perhaps in a short space of time
Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
Eating a large amount when not hungry
Subjective loss of control over how much or what is eaten
Binges may be planned in advance, involving the purchase of special binge foods, and the allocation of specific time for binging, sometimes at night
Eating alone or secretly due to embarrassment over the amount of food consumed
There may be a dazed mental state during the binge
Not being able to remember what was eaten after the binge
Feelings of guilt, shame or disgust following a food binge
Body image disturbanceIn contrast to bulimia nervosa, binge eating episodes are not regularly followed by activities intended to compensate for the amount of food consumed, such as self-induced vomiting, laxative or enema misuse, or strenuous exercise. BED is characterized more by overeating than dietary restriction. Those with BED often have poor body image and frequently diet, but are unsuccessful due to the severity of their binge eating.Obesity is common in persons with BED, as is depression, low self-esteem, stress and boredom. Those with BED are also at risk of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, menstrual irregularities such as amenorrhea, and gastrointestinal problems such as acid reflux and heartburn. Causes
As with other eating disorders, binge eating is an "expressive disorder"—a disorder that is an expression of deeper psychological problems.
Sulconazole (trade name Exelderm) is an antifungal medication of the imidazole class. It is available as a cream or solution to treat skin infections such as athletes foot, ringworm, jock itch, and sun fungus. Although not used commercially for insect control, sulconazole nitrate exhibits a strong anti-feeding effect on the keratin-digesting Australian carpet beetle larvae Anthrenocerus australis. == References ==
