Apple-shaped body makes you prone to binge-eating
Women with an apple-shaped body are at higher risk for binge-eating, according to a new study. The findings come from Drexel University, where they found apple-shaped women – with more fat stored around their trunk and abdomen – experience a “loss of control” and partake in binge-eating episodes. These women were also more likely to report being unsatisfied with their bodies, which may also encourage the binge-eating. This is the first study to associate fat distribution and eating habits.
Lead author, Laura Berner, Ph.D., said, “Eating disorders that are detected early are much more likely to be successfully treated. Although existing eating disorder risk models comprehensively address psychological factors, we know of very few biologically-based factors that help us predict who may be more likely to develop eating disorder behaviors.”
