If you struggle with binge eating or BED, you are not alone. BED is by far the most prevalent eating disorder. Three and a half percent of women and two percent of men suffer from Binge Eating Disorder during their lifetime. In comparison, anorexia and bulimia each affect 0.6 percent of the population. Despite its prevalence, BED remains cloaked in secrecy and shame. Less than half of its sufferers seek therapy for their eating disorder. However, 30 percent of those seeking weight loss treatments have BED.

Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies, and fatness is not a death sentence. Body Respect debunks common myths about weight, including the misconceptions that BMI can accurately measure health, that fatness necessarily leads to disease, and that dieting will improve health. The authors also help make sense of how poverty and oppression - such as racism, homophobia, and classism - affect life opportunity, self-worth, and even influence metabolism.

That magic diet, detox, flush, or pill that promises a 10-pound weight loss in a week is tempting, isn't it? We know it won't last—and wonder if it works—and yet when you find yourself staring longingly into the refrigerator for comfort or stress relief, start a diet with good intentions but lose focus, reach your goal and then yo-yo back up or gain even more weight, it's not hunger driving you.

Healthy living strategist and personal coach Lisa Lewtan has the answer.

Grace McCready was a thin, beautiful girl; but when she looked in the mirror, all she saw was fat and ugly. What started out as Grace trying to lose a little weight by slowly changing her diet led to telling lies, starving herself, and exercising herself nearly to death.

When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, it's not really about the food. It's about everything else in your subconscious mind that triggers you to reach for food when you are not hungry or binge when already full. Hence, you can tip the scale in your favor by becoming more aware of underlying fears, concerns about interpersonal relationships, and various ways you protect your heart.
