Abstract
The binge eating behavior in addition to affecting physical health generates psychological discomfort. The aim of this research was to evaluate the objective clinical change of an intervention with cognitive-behavioral strategies to modify binge eating and its associated variables. In this case report, two women (19 and 20 years old, respectively) diagnosed with binge eating disorder took part who signed an informed consent form and answered a battery of validated questionnaires in the Mexican population, this in the Pretest and Posttest phases to assess binge eating, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, anxiety and depression symptoms, and quality of life. It was found that through the calculation of the objective clinical change, a favorable change between 50% and 80% of the assessed variables was found. It is concluded that the intervention using cognitive-behavioral strategies had a positive effect on binge eating and its associated variables. However, due to the nature of the study, it is not meant to generalize the findings, a case-control study would be necessary to strengthen these data to the medium and long term.
Highlights

As for the intervention and regarding OCC which is deemed a more specific and individualized analysis, the findings reflect positive results in 80% and 50% of the assessed variables of the two participants, respectively. This data is similar to the data reported by García-Marín, Antón-Menárguez and Martínez-Amorós (2016) in an intervention with cognitive behavioral techniques with a participant with similar characteristics to the participants of this study, such as gender, age (19 years old), occupation and excess weight condition which documented a reduction of binge eating episodes, anxiety and depression symptoms an increased self-esteem
These findings show that a reduction of this characteristic in patients with binge eating disorder (BED) is possible and contributes to their psychological health, considering that body dissatisfaction may work as a trigger or maintainer of a binge eating episode
