STRESS EATING DEFINED

Stress-Eating can best be defined as the consumption of carbohydrate-rich and/or high-fat foods in response to mental, physical, or emotional stress.

Stress-eating is marked by a compelling hunger or by recurring, undeniable cravings that, initially, may be triggered by any of the following:

overwhelming responsibilities
unrelenting demands
a sense of powerlessness
unexpressed anger or frustration
emotional abandonment
fear and/or worry
lack of sleep
boredom, loneliness, or disappointment
fatigue
anxiety
loss of a loved one
the need for a reward
many prescription and over-the-counter medications
an unpleasant, messy, or disorganized environment
excessive noise, heat, or cold

Over time, an imbalance of hormones can trap the stresseater in a Stress-Eating Cycle that is
self-perpetuating when the initial stress trigger is no longer present.

The medical term for stress-eating is stress-induced hyperphagia, a condition that often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

Weight-loss diets do not address the physical cause of a stress-eater’s cravings, hunger, and tendency to put weight on easily. It is little wonder that, in the long run, these diets are virtually bound to fail.
