What Is Binge Eating Disorder?

An Overview of Symptoms, Triggers, and How It Affects Daily Life

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the U.S. It involves eating large amounts of food in a short period often in secret and often followed by guilt, discomfort, or emotional distress. Unlike bulimia, there is no regular purging involved, but the emotional impact can be just as severe.

You Deserve Nourishment, Not Shame

At TruPaths, we reject shame-based approaches to binge eating recovery. We believe in body-neutral, emotionally safe support that helps people reclaim their relationship with food and themselves.

  • To connect you with providers who treat you with dignity and care
  • To offer a path to healing that honors your story and your body
  • To remind you: you are worthy of nourishment in every sense of the word
"You are not broken. You are a human being doing the best you can and you deserve support that sees that."
