Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a prevalent and complex overeating condition characterized by excessive food consumption beyond one's control. This disorder has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown, affecting individuals of diverse ages and occupations. Shockingly, 97.5% of surveyed participants reported experiencing binge eating episodes, emphasizing its widespread impact. Emotional triggers, disordered eating patterns, and technology's influence were prominent factors contributing to BED. Lifestyle modifications are crucial for overcoming this disorder, including adopting a balanced diet, reducing processed foods, opting for healthy snacks, preserving nutrient content, staying hydrated, choosing healthy fats, regular exercise, avoiding meal skipping, regulating sleep, and establishing fixed meal times. Seeking professional support is also vital in the journey towards recovery. Understanding BED's prevalence, causes, and treatment options is essential for addressing this pressing issue.
