Predictors and significance of rapid response to behaviorally based treatment of binge eating disorder

Obesity (Silver Spring)Published Secondary analysis of a clinical trial

Authors' conclusion

These findings indicate that rapid response to BBWLT for binge eating disorder prospectively predicts superior clinical outcomes in both binge eating and weight loss. Treatment attitudes, rather than patient demographic or clinical severity variables, are prospectively associated with rapid response.
