Binge Eating and Food Addiction

I have done a short presentation at a medical conference "Addiction and the Liver" in London. My topic was to discuss the link between food addiction and binge eating; a big subject for a short presentation. The weblink for the presentations is: www.mahealthcareevents.co.uk/addliver/0611/presentations. No login is required. Scroll down to find my name and the presentation is there. I prefer the view that binge eating is more complex than an addiction and a great deal of what we believe to be emotional eating is in fact driven by thoughts and the feelings that arise from those thoughts. But people think that its only about feelings. I feel a mega blog coming on, so perhaps another time.You can read all about binge eating on the information page of our website http://eating-disorders.org.uk/
