Binge Eating Disorder
and Men
Binge eating disorder in men is underdiagnosed and rarely talked about. Most of the resources out there were not built with men in mind.
Life in Person has sessions specifically for men.
Understanding the Link
Binge eating in men is often overlooked or misunderstood. Many men experience these patterns but do not recognise them as binge eating, or do not feel comfortable talking about it.
Eating patterns linked to stress or pressure
Periods of restriction followed by loss of control
Increased evening or late night eating
Eating connected to fatigue or sleep disruption
Difficulty discussing eating behaviour or seeking support
Support for Men
Peer Support Groups
Sessions where you can talk about what is happening with your eating, without having to explain why it is hard to talk about or justify why it matters.
Workshops
Practical workshops focused on the specific patterns that show up for men, including stress eating, evening eating, and what to do when restriction leads to loss of control.
Masterclass
Deeper sessions on topics relevant to men in recovery, including how stress, sleep, and routine affect eating and what actually helps.
Drop In Sessions
A free informal time to ask questions and find out what is available, with no pressure to commit to anything.
