Women in Their 50s Binge, Purge, and Diet Nearly as Often as Adolescents

In recent years I have had several Slender For Life™ hypnosis for weight loss clients who are women over the age of 50 share with me that they frequently binge, purge and are always on a diet. So this new study did not surprise me. I’ve also worked with some men that I have suspected of similar behavior so I hope that researchers are studying eating disorders in men as well. Each of these women were able to learn weight loss hypnosis and create a new relationship with themselves and with food. The binging, purging and dieting stopped. With Slender For Life™ they were able to safely and healthfully achieve their ideal weight.

Survey Shows Women in Their 50s Binge, Purge, and Diet Nearly as Often as Adolescents

WebMD Health News, June 21, 2012: Eating disorders don’t just strike teens. A new survey shows that middle-aged women binge, purge, and engage in extreme exercise and dieting about as often as adolescents do.

“Strikingly, things are as bad in this age group as they are in the younger age groups. I was sort of gobsmacked that 8% reported purging in the last five years,” says researcher Cynthia M. Bulik, PhD, director of the University of North Carolina Eating Disorders Program, in Chapel Hill.

Additionally, Bulik says, 3.5% of women older than 50 reported binge eating within the last month, a percentage that is “spot on for the younger population.”

62% of the nearly 1,900 women who participated in the Internet-based survey said their weight or shape negatively impacted their life. “That’s really sad,” Bulik says. The study is published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders.
