Raleigh, NC -- (SBWire) -- 02/04/2015 --According to the FDA, a drug typically used to treat ADHD, can now be used for those who suffer from food addictions and, specifically, binge eating. Vyvanse, a Schedule II controlled substance, is now thought to be effective in helping binge eaters overcome their eating disorder. Although Vyvanse is not approved for weight loss, doctors may prescribe this drug as they see fit for patients who are characterized by their binge eating habit. Because Vyvanse reportedly has a high potential for abuse and dependence, NBC's diet and nutrition editor, Madelyn Fernstrom, says, "the concern is that those desperate to lose weight will use the binge eating excuse for their weight gain simply to obtain a prescription for, yet another, controlled substance that can lead to more drug abuse in the country".

Binge eating is characterized by episodes of compulsive eating, even when not hungry, most times leaving the person feeling uncomfortably full. Aside from causing uncontrolled weight gain that can lead to weight-related medical conditions, binge eating patients reportedly feel shame and embarrassment which can then lead to emotional problems and social isolation causing them to reach for high calorie, high carbohydrate comfort foods during times of stress or loneliness.
The experts at Diet Doc took a long hard look at specific eating disorders in an effort to understand why certain foods, and specifically foods high in calories and carbohydrates, can become addicting. The answer may be that the brain's pleasure center reacts in the same manner to sugar and carbohydrates as it does to cocaine, heroin and nicotine by triggering the release of dopamine, the "feel good" chemical. Like drug addiction, food addiction is very real, is associated with very real changes in the brain and deserves a real solution.
Science understands drug addiction, but it is only recently that food addiction, and the need to end this addiction, has been recognized. For this reason, Diet Doc created their unique diet plans that combine natural prescription hormone treatments with professionally designed meal and snack plans that help their patients over the initial weight loss hurdles while teaching them how to overcome their food addiction. While these diet plans generate safe, natural and fast weight loss, the real goal is to educate patients about how the body and brain react to specific foods in order to change their unhealthy lifestyle and manage their weight long term.
New patients will complete a health questionnaire and consult online with a Diet Doc physician. Certified nutritionists will then work closely with patients to develop meal and snack plans that nourish the body while generating safe and fast weight loss and eliminate between meal hunger, loss of energy and carbohydrate cravings.
Diet Doc utilizes exclusive hormone diet treatments that contain natural, prescription strength hormones, complemented with exclusive diet pills and appetite suppressants that suppress and control cravings. These hormones naturally mobilize stored body fat for an ample supply of energy, even during times of fewer calorie intake. When used as a weight loss tool, stored fat is continuously targeted as the hormone flushes the excess fat out of the body.
Combining natural prescription hormone diet treatments with personalized diet plans has helped people throughout the country overcome their food addiction and lose weight rapidly and safely. In fact, a recent in-house survey of over 20,000 actual clients, reported an amazing weight loss of 20 pounds or more per month without negative side effects or harmful consequences like cravings, fatigue or weakness.
Those who have struggled unsuccessfully to overcome their food addiction are urged to call Diet Doc today, the nation's leader in safe, successful and rapid weight loss.
