Binge and Mindfulness The Relationship Between Eating Behavior and Psychological Distress among Overweight and Obese People

By Sara Williams

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased exponentially during the past 30 years worldwide, and now it is considered a global pandemic.

Obesity is a multifactorial condition caused by a complex interaction between biological, social, and psychological factors.

Most of the obesity treatments were ineffective, particularly those based on restrictive diets, which do not affect a long-term weight loss and can contribute to higher psychological distress.

However, interventions based on mindful eating and non-judgmental awareness of physical and emotional sensations related to the experience of eating seem to be effective in reducing dysfunctional eating behaviors and promoting physical and psychological well-being.
