Yes and No. If you do have binge eating disorder and want to lose weight, you should try to eat a stable diet without binging for a couple of weeks before exercising. If you cant do this talk to a doctor.

Binge weight gain?

I think a lot of Binge eating disorders come from emotional eating this can be controled with self discipline but that does not work out for everyone. If you feel you have a Bingn eating order that you cannot control you should seek the help of a Dr or nutrionalist. They can help you with diet control and also get you something to help control the cravings. Binge eating disorder is probably the most common eating disorder. Most people with this problem are either overweight or obese,* but normal-weight people also can have the disorder. About 2 percent of all adults in the United States (as many as 4 million Americans) have binge eating disorder. About 10 to 15 percent of people who are mildly obese and who try to lose weight on their own or through commercial weight-loss programs have binge eating disorder. The disorder is even more common in people who are severely obese. Binge eating disorder is a little more common in women than in men; three women for every two men have it. The disorder affects blacks as often as whites. No one knows how often it affects people in other ethnic groups. People who are obese and have binge eating disorder often became overweight at a younger age than those without the disorder. They might also lose and gain back weight (yo-yo diet) more often. # eat much more quickly than usual during binge episodes # eat until they are uncomfortably full # eat large amounts of food even when they are not really hungry # eat alone because they are embarrassed about the amount of food they eat # feel disgusted, depressed, or guilty after overeating.
