Beating the Binge 2 vs CampCritter

Binge eating is a common and severe phenomenon with many negative consequences. Binge eating is defined as consuming unusually large amounts of food in a discrete period of time, accompanied by a sense of loss of control. In order to improve existing treatments for binge eating, our research group at Maastricht University in the Netherlands (Clinical Psychology department) will examine factors that predict binge eating, using systematic assessments in daily life. This information will help us find out how and when to intervene to prevent binge eating episodes. In the ‘Beating the Binge’ project we ask people with recurrent binge eating episodes to monitor their eating behavior using this smartphone app. Before and after each eating moment, and at random moments during the day, they will answer questions about eating, thoughts, emotions, and the context in which these take place. Participants will also wear a smartwatch that will continuously gather information about e.g. their activity level, heart rate, and sleeping pattern. This way, the key predictors of binge eating can be identified. The ‘Beating the Binge’ app can only be used by those participating in the study.

If your binge eating episodes are causing you significant distress and/or impairment in your daily functioning, we advise you to seek a doctor’s advice.
