12-Week Program Curbs Binge Eating

by Bill Hendrick

Binge eaters can help themselves eat less for up to a year by participating in a 12-week therapy program, new research indicates.

The research, which produced two studies, shows that a majority of people participating in talk therapy sessions had stopped bingeing at the end of the program.

Those participants not only lost weight but saved money because they spent less on dietary supplements and weight loss programs, according to the second study.

In the Philippines where I live, I have not heard of therapy programs dealing with weight loss.  Or maybe I haven't been looking for something like it.  If it's not being done yet, it sure would be a welcome option for health conscious Filipinas who are struggling to maintain good health or a healthy lifestyle.  This is especially true for those who are not even aware that they are already binge eating.  Perhaps this type of therapy program should be included in health insurance packages as a value added service.
