Since it is difficult to detect because binge-eater don't admit that they have the disorder, it is also difficult to prevent. Here are some of the preventive strategies that needs to be observed to avoid binge eating disorder:

Parent should not obsess about their weight, appearance, and diet in front of their children.
Do not tease people about their body shapes or compare them to others.
Make it clear that family members are loved and accepted as they are.
Try to eat meals together as a family whenever possible; avoid eating alone.
Avoid using food for comfort in times of stress.
Monitoring negative self-talk; practice positive self-talk.
Spend time doing something enjoyable every day
Stay busy, but not overly busy
Be alert to signs of low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and drug or alcohol abuse and seek help as soon as these signs appear.
