[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1650395, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! (and thank you [USER=265172]@Snapsy[/USER] Binge eating disorder could stem from a variety of things, but I doubt very much if you could have developed pcos as a result of binge eating. Far more likely to be the other way round. The hormonal 'stuff' that comes along with pcos has far reaching implications - insulin resistance, food cravings, mood swings, PMT, and so on. Also, those of us with pcos are MUCH more likely to develop Type 2 than most women. Something like 50% of us will be type 2 by the time we reach the age of 50 years. So please don't be blaming your pcos and T2 on having binged. It is a symptom of your hormonal and blood glucose issues, which have probably gone back years, if not decades. For my own part, I went through a few years when I felt out of control with food and cycled between famine and fast, severe dieting and eating far too much - although I did slowly learn that the more carbs I ate, the more mood and blood glucose swings and cravings I experienced. So I slowly moved further and further into low carb eating, which eventually allowed me to walk away from the bingeing. For which I am very, very grateful. I now eat very low carb. I think we each have to find our own path with this, because the emotional side of food is so powerful. But if you do some googling on pcos and low carb, you will find that there is growing evidence that low carbing can benefit people with pcos - in terms of both reducing pcos symptoms, and for controlling cravings, and weight loss. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
