“How do you treat overeating?”

It needs to first be determined that this issue of overeating does not have an underlying medical or metabolic cause. Once a person's medical condition is known and there are no readily identified metabolic and/or hormonal causations, overeating can be addressed from a cognitive, affective, and behavioral perspective. Some individuals also work with a nutritionist or dietician to teach more about foods which promote balanced eating, then some individuals might also combine these practices with the adjunct administration of natural or pharmaceutical-grade appetite suppressants under the supervision of a trained dietitian or physician familiar with behavioral medicine.

I treat overeating from a holistic approach. I typically integrate components of CBT-E and ACT therapy to treat underlying mechanisms responsible for ongoing behavioral issues related to eating.

This is a great question and something we are seeing more of lately.
To begin, a person should always check with their primary doctor first, especially if they have other illnesses or dietary restrictions or take medication that specify the need for food. CBT is an approach that focuses on the interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Key components include self monitoring, cognitive restructuring, and establishing regular eating patterns.

Psychotherapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is used often in patients who suffer from episodes of overeating. In these sessions, un-healthy habits are shared, and new healthy habits are discussed in hopes to reduce overeating. Weight-loss programs are often recommended once the overeating has been treated.
