Summary

The objectives of this proposed study are: 1) to evaluate feasibility and acceptability of a novel intervention, Regulation of Cues (ROC), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and 2) to evaluate the efficacy of both treatments on reduction of binge eating and weight loss among 120 Veterans with subclinical or clinical Binge Eating Disorder (BED) with comorbid overweight/obesity (OW/OB).

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Regulation of Cues (ROC)

Participants are provided information about basic learning theory and how physiological responses to food cues develop and can be managed. Lack of sensitivity to appetite and satiety cues and increased sensitivity to food cues will be discussed. Coping skills are presented to assist in mastery and toleration of food cue sensitivity. Participants will complete experiential learning exercises with food, and taught to monitor their hunger, satiety, and cravings. The physical activity program will focus on increasing both lifestyle activity and structured exercise programs.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

Participants are taught to identify problems in eating, thinking, and mood patterns that served to trigger binge episodes through self-monitoring and to gradually develop alternative patterns aimed at facilitating healthy, binge-free eating patterns. Participants are taught to eat a healthy variety of foods and reducing the avoidance of "forbidden" foods that are typically consumed during a binge.
