Summary

This study tests whether a single-session consultation can reduce binge eating in women who struggle with it. About 56 women will be split into three groups: one gets a full talk session, one gets only an assessment, and one gets minimal contact. The goal is to see if even a brief chat can help ease symptoms and improve body image.
