Why do you eat out of control when you're not hungry?

This is an automatically translated article.


Eating disorder is a condition that often appears in some people with the expression of eating out of control and even eating when not feeling hungry. The following article will introduce readers to some of the causes leading to these conditions.

1. Causes of uncontrolled eating


1.1. Stress Prolonged stress causes the body to increase levels of the hormone cortisol. To refuel the body after a stressful meeting, cortisol increases, making you feel like you eat more. If stress is a near-constant state, it will prompt the body to seek out snacks.
1.2. Fatigue When the body does not get enough rest, the hormone ghrelin will increase and create cravings. Meanwhile, leptin levels decrease, which reduces hunger. And the result of this combination is that you will eat despite not feeling hungry.
1.3. Anxiety Anxiety is closely linked with eating disorders. Binge eating can be a way to help you manage anxiety and stress.

1.4. Effects from those around you It's not always that binge eating happens when you're feeling stressed or anxious, but sometimes a state of euphoria makes you do it. It's easy for many people to get caught up in the fun of an event and ignore the signs that you're not hungry right now and don't need to follow everyone else's meals.
1.5. Alcohol Alcohol reduces inhibitions and reduces the ability to calculate when and how much food should be eaten. On the other hand, drinking alcohol also makes you eat less healthy foods, such as foods high in fat and sugar. Studies show that drinking affects an area of ​​the brain that monitors self-control, making it hard to resist tasty snacks.
1.6. Pictures of food Studies show that advertising images of food on social networks and around will contribute to stimulating the ability to eat in you.

2. Should I eat breakfast when I'm not hungry?


There are some studies that have shown that the body does not have much change, especially about skipping breakfast. Breakfast doesn't boost metabolism, and not eating breakfast will cause you to overeat and gain weight. Eating or skipping breakfast is your choice, if you feel hungry or you are a breakfast person, it is best to have a scientific breakfast rich in protein. But if you don't feel hungry and don't need breakfast, you may not need it.
However, you should also consider the negative effects on the body about the harmful effects of skipping breakfast. This will make your body lose energy because after waking up, the body's sugar supply is at a low level and breakfast is the time to replenish energy for a long day.
