Emotional Eating e Binge Eating: Stress e disturbi del comportamento alimentare

  • Chapter
Book cover Stress e disturbi da somatizzazione

Riassunto

Può capitare di mangiare non per fame, ma in risposta a sentimenti ed emozioni, in particolare rabbia o stress. In questi casi si è di fronte a episodi di Emotional Eating, consistenti in una perdita di controllo per cui non è più il corpo a dettare cosa e quanto mangiare, bensì le emozioni vissute in quel momento. Alcune persone tendono ad abbuffarsi quando sono tristi o particolarmente annoiate, per altri invece è un modo per evitare di pensare a questioni delicate della propria vita. L’Emotional Eating spesso porta a mangiare in eccesso e soprattutto cibi con un alto contenuto di calorie e di grassi, come i dolci.
