So Why Do Many Overeat?

There are so many of you that over eat? When you over eat, it may be for several different reasons. There have been studies that say that for many food becomes as addictive to some the same way someone becomes addicted to alcohol or cigarettes. Research has shown that when we respond to pleasure, it raises the dopamine levels in our brain. Dr. Bob Greene has written a book Total Body Makeover

Some doctors believe that when we over eat we receive pleasure which has a automatic response of raising the dopamine levels in our brain. Once they become addicted they never reach the point of satisfaction. Since that point is never reached, they keep eating. It is important to realize that food can also be a addiction.

If you are over eating because you are trying to fulfil feelings of pleasure, then try to replace over eating with other forms of pleasure such as hanging out with friends, or whatever else brings you pleasure.

If you have started and stopped exercise, then it is up to you to start again. Come to a understanding of why you failed so that you will not repeat them and stay positive and keep going.
