Behavioral weight loss outcomes in individuals with binge‐eating disorder: A meta‐analysis
Pooled result · Weight lossResult — go to the resultDifference ≈1.4 kgAuthors' conclusion
BWLIs produced robust weight loss in those with BED, but those with BED lost less weight and had higher risk of dropout compared with those without. Future research should aim to close the gap in weight loss outcomes and retention between those with and without BED.
