Whatever WOE you use, vegan, vegetarian, low carb, the fact that you eliminate processed foods will make you feel better immediately and give you that "This diet is wonderful" sensation. However, once you get past eliminating processed foods, you have to take a look at what else you are eating or not eating and asking yourself "is this healthy" or "am I getting everything I need?"

That's when the researching should become intense to ensure your body is getting what it needs and is not deteriorating.

Binge eating, in my opinion, is your body telling you it is not getting what it needs and signalling it's hungry. If the food you are eating isn't helping, then it's the wrong food. If you have stuffed yourself to the gills and you're still hungry, it's not emotions, it's the type of food you are eating or not eating. Throw in hormones that are out of control and it's a double whammy.

Just my 2 cents worth.
