Those persons who regularly make vegetables part of their diet are putting themselves at risk for eating disorders.
This strange but real information was based on a study conducted by researchers who discovered that aside from the benefit of decreased risk for overweight and obesity, vegetarians are at risk to suffer from binged eating.
Binge eating is a pattern of disordered eating which consists of episodes of uncontrollable overeating.
It is sometimes as a symptom of binge eating disorder. During such binges, a person rapidly consumes an excessive amount of food.

According to a latest study, vegetarians are at risk for eating disorders over diet.

Most people who have eating binges try to hide this behaviour from others, and often feel ashamed or depressed about their overeating.
Eating binges can be followed by so-called compensatory behaviour, acts by which the person tries to compensate for the effects of overeating.
Examples of such acts are purging (induced vomiting or laxative abuse), fasting, and heavy exercising.
Vegetarians all over the globe should take this report as a stern warning for them to be more careful on their vegetable.
As means of precaution, vegetarians just always need to remember, "Too much of everything is bad".
