Symptoms:

Binge eating directly impacts your physiology and psychology, it comes with a plethora of symptoms. They include

Consequences:

Not all people who are clinically obese have BED, but two-thirds of people with BED are clinically obese.

More severe cases of BED lead to Bulimia Nervosa: a life-threatening eating disorder involving cycles of binge eating and behaviors like self-induced vomiting.
