Absolutely. My maternal grandmother developed it in her early 40's and apparently she was slightly curvy but certainly not overweight. But I can only surmise that the huge amount of rubbish I was eating was my cause.
Or your need/desire for the huge amount of rubbish was a symptom of glucose tolerance issues, leading to carb cravings and binge eating.
Been there, done that.
And in my case, the cravings and binge eating was definitely a consequence, not the cause.
I know this because as soon as I reduced my carb intake below an almost magical number, the cravings all disappear.
As soon as I get above that above that magic number, the cravings all reappear.
It is just unfortunate for me that my personal magic number is low enough that a 'normal' uk diet trips my switch.
