Doctors have identified six characteristics that they are associated with food addiction

May 18, 2023

Many seemingly harmless habits may indicate that a person has developed an addiction to food. Doctors interviewed by 74.RU journalists reveal 6 such habits:

Reading labels, counting calories, and classifying foods as “good” or “bad” are habits that can indicate an eating disorder.

However, according to Veronika Cheraneva, this is a very wrong approach. In science, orthorexia has its own definition, and it is far from what most people think of when they talk about healthy eating.

Experts say that trying to cope with stress through food leads to guilt, depression and anxiety. In addition, this is a bad habit, because it does not lead to anything good – to overeating.

Quite often, piscivores deliberately come up with occasions – for example, the celebration of a holy day or a festival, in order to once again feast on the mountain.

Eating disorders can also include nighttime binge eating, as well as feeling the need to eat in order to feel better.

Often the brain requires more food, so a person simply cannot get up from the table until he has eaten everything. There is nothing else when a person starts hiding food away: he will eat it regardless of whether there are other people nearby or not.

Fish eaters have different attitudes towards their diet. Some like to grab a bite to eat on their way home, others hide food for a rainy day, and still others devour it before everyone else wakes up.
