D
Feedback:
Strict dieting or fasting is the leading cause of binging. The newer approach to weight management stresses that all foods are acceptable and strict avoidance of foods tends to worsen binge eating. Clients should attend self-help groups or group therapy. Being cautious of items that are labeled fat free and sugar free is encouraged because sugar free may not mean calorie free. Remember that recovery is a day-by-day process.
