• Binge eating is a kind of eating disorder in
  which a person feels compelled to overeat on a
  regular basis through regular binges.People who
  binge eats consume very large quantities of food
  over a short period of time, even when they are
  not hungry.In some of the rare cases, people
  describe themselves as being in a "dazed state"
  during a binge particularly binges during the
  night and they are not able to recall what they
  ate.People who binge eats feel they have no
  control over their eating. Sometimes they binge
  in private as they feel embarrassed, guilty or
  disgusted with their behavior after they have
  finished eating.

• Phases of binge eating sometimes alternate with
  periods where the person cuts down on the amount
  of food they eat.This can further lead to a
  vicious cycle that is difficult to break in which
  blood sugar levels rise, fall rapidly and false
  messages are sent to the brain, which result in
  cravings for food when your body doesn't need it.
