Binge Eating Disorder Treatment with a Long Island Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

A binge eating disorder (BED) is a complex and serious condition that involves more than simply overeating or a lack of willpower. It is a multifaceted disorder that affects both physical and emotional health. Medical nutrition counseling offers a therapeutic approach to addressing binge eating and compulsive overeating. Every individual’s journey to recovery is unique, which is why an adaptive and holistic treatment program is essential. Through online nutrition therapy, Nancy can help you identify your triggers, normalize your eating behaviors, and develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.

What are the signs and symptoms of BED?

The term generally refers to a discrete period of time during which an individual overeats to the point of being uncomfortably full, without hunger or a metabolic need driving this eating.  Accompanying the excessive caloric consumption that occurs during a binge are feelings of loss of control and psychological distress, such as guilt, disgust, embarrassment, or depression.

Some common signs and symptoms include:

  • Eating unusually large amounts of food in a short period
  • Hiding eating from others
  • Feeling out of control around food
  • Eating faster than usual
  • Continuing to eat despite feeling uncomfortably full
  • Eating without physical hunger
  • Feeling embarrassed, guilty, or disgusted after eating
  • Avoiding eating in public or with others due to shame about food quantities
  • Difficulty maintaining weight loss despite dieting, exercising, or using medications

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment and Nutrition Therapy

To effectively recover from BED, it is crucial to work with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Nancy’s treatment plan includes: 

  • A comprehensive evaluation of your diet and weight patterns, both past and present
  • Nutrition education to correct any misinformation or misunderstandings
  • Learning to recognize your body’s cues for hunger and fullness
  • Strategies to identify and manage triggers that lead to binge episodes

Each patient is unique, even if they share the same eating disorder diagnosis. Nancy provides individualized care, helping individuals organize and plan meals to reduce the risk of binge episodes. In addition to identifying triggers, she focuses on helping patients develop healthy coping mechanisms to replace emotional eating habits.

I was hesitant at first to start seeing a nutritionist. I was very comfortable with my poor eating habits despite being upset about my weight; however I knew I needed to make a change.Nancy was very understanding from the start. Before meeting with Nancy, I had been in a constant cycle of over-restricting myself to lose weight rapidly, followed by binge eating and gaining it all back plus some more.Over the past year and a half, Nancy has helped me discover normal eating. She helped me understand my hunger and my fullness in addition to helping me choose better food options.Nancy is very dedicated to working with you and helping you achieve your goals. She doesn’t just help you reach your goals — she helps you change your perspective of food and eating for the better. What you learn with Nancy is not temporary — you will carry it with you and practice it throughout your life.I have lost almost 70 pounds since first meeting with Nancy and continuing on my journey. I highly recommend working with her.Nancy, thank you for all of your help!

Although I was unlucky when I developed some health issues, I was very lucky to find Nancy Mazarin, a skilled, intelligent, caring nutritionist. I saw lots of doctors but she was the one who came up with the diagnosis that finally led to my improved health. She was always available when I had questions and was even willing to meet with me one weekend when I was struggling.
