A preliminary study of momentary, naturalistic indicators of binge ‐eating episodes in adults with obesity
We examined preliminary associations between the five indicators and binge versus nonbinge episodes among 50 adults with obesity via ecological momentary assessment. ResultsGeneralized linear models revealed that, relative to nonbinge episodes, self‐reported binge episodes were associated with lower pre‐episode hunger (p = .004), higher postepisode fullness (p < .001), a greater likelihood of reporting moderate to extreme shame prior to eating in conjunction with eating alone (p < .001), and a greater likelihood of reporting moderate to extreme disgust, depression, and/or guilt after eating (p < .001), but...
