Recently, binge（暴食）is becoming a major health problem in American.

“As soon as I came home I’d throw down my backpack and just start going though the refrigerator and start eating. Sandwiches, cookies, candy bars—I’d just continuously eat until I went to bed,” says Matt Wymer, 18. Matt was a binge eater.

    “You know we start at a very young age. You fall and hurt your knees. Your mother may say, ‘Oh, here, we’ll go to get some ice cream, that’ll make you feel better.’ Or when you go to the doctor, something bad happens: The doctor says, ‘Oh, here’s something that’s comforting’, and you get a candy,” says Marilyn Tanner, a doctor.

Matt looked for comfort because he was always laughed at because of his weight.

“There’d be days when I’d come and pick him up from school and he’d get in the car and start crying before I asked him anything,” says Cathy Wymer, Matt’s mother.

“I’d just feel better after I ate a lot,” says Matt.

Experts say the first step of treatment for binge eaters is to help them find other ways, besides food, to feel better. “There are about five basic ways: You write, you talk, you cry, you exercise or you laugh,” says Genie Burnett, a psychologist.

With the help of his doctor, Matt started a diet and a daily workout. He’s lost more than 150 pounds, he’s healthier and he says he’d be more confident.

　　Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. Some people of different ages, form 12 to 83, were asked to have the test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.

　　The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, breads and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.

　　The results is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(减肥). This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too muc for lunch. They will gain(增加) weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
