CONT

L'hyperphagie boulimique est caractérisée par une perte de contrôle de son alimentation, qui se traduit par des crises, plus ou moins fréquentes, de consommation abusive de nourriture. Mais contrairement à la boulimie, les personnes atteintes n'adopteront pas de comportement pour compenser l'absorption massive de calories.
