We first establish the association between binge eating and dieting and present sequence data indicating that dieting usually precedes binging, chronologically. We propose that dieting causes binging by promoting the adoption of a cognitively regulated eating style, which is necessary if the physiological defense of body weight is to be overcome. The defense of body weight entails various metabolic adjustments that assist energy conservation, but the behavioral reaction of binge eating is best understood in cognitive, not physiological, terms. By supplanting physiological regulatory controls with cognitive controls, dieting makes the dieter vulnerable to disinhibition and consequent overeating. Implications for therapy are discussed, as are the societal consequences of regarding dieting as a “solution” to the problem of binging.
