Individuals with binge-eating disorder and obesity who attain modest weight loss following treatment exhibit improvements in various measures of cardiovascular disease risk compared to those who do not. While weight loss has been challenging for individuals with binge-eating disorder, clinicians should inform patients of the potential health benefits of modest weight loss. Future research should investigate whether weight loss itself and/or related behavioral lifestyle changes drive improved cardiovascular disease risk factors.
