Here's one area where binge eating may affect your fat loss results:
If you eat a lot of processed carbohydrates during (which a lot of people would do) your binge, your next workout (no matter how intense it is) would not be as effective. Why? Because you have those carbs/sugar in your bloodstream which prevents your body from getting its energy source from the your stored energy which is your body fat.
The best thing to combat this is to perform a moderate, steady state cardio for 40 minutes to deplete the sugar from your bloodstream (not on the day you strength train but before it). But (big BUT), don't make this an excuse to binge. Just see it as an alternative if ever you do mess up because we do have to find that balance. Hope this helps.
