They were categorized randomly into the intervention, diet, and control groups (Groups of 15 people). The Gormally's Binge Eating severity Scale was used to assess binge eating. Data were analyzed by SPSS/24 software.
Results: The average scores of BES and BMI of the experimental group decreased significantly compared to the control and diet groups in the post-test stage and this decrease remained relatively constant in the follow-up stage. The results showed that lifestyle modification intervention using Choice Theory was effective in reducing the binge eating severity (p <0.001) and reducing body mass index (p <0.05) in women with binge eating disorder.
