Abstract
Binge eating (BE; i.e., the consumption of a large amount of food in a discrete time period, accompanied by a sense of loss of control) is highly comorbid with overweight or obesity and is the primary symptom of binge eating disorder (BED). Current gold-standard treatment for BED (i.e., CBT) does not produce meaningful weight loss, thus failing to address a critical treatment target. This article describes the development of a novel acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABBT) for individuals with clinically significant BE desiring to reduce BE symptoms and achieve concurrent weight loss. We discuss the development and structure of the novel treatment approach, and describe the test of a proof of concept version of the treatment in a clinical case series of four individuals. In the context of each clinical case description, we present initial acceptability of the treatment and challenges faced in treatment development and delivery. Finally, we discuss future research directions for the treatment, which could improve BE symptoms and weight loss outcomes for individuals with BE pathology.
