Summary
This controlled study will test the effectiveness of a stepped-care approach to a standard
behavioral weight loss treatment for obese patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). The
major question is whether the stepped-care approach, which begins with behavioral weight loss
and then follows a decision tree for additional interventions based on early treatment
response is superior to standard behavioral treatment.
