Do you Overeat

A recent survey presented at the American Psychological Association meeting last month suggested that frequent dieters are more likely to overeat when stressed.

From other studies, we know that when people binge, they tend to eat high-calorie junk foods usually loaded with fat and carbs. Experts tended to link the results to the strictness of the diet, believing that frequent dieters use stress as an excuse to eat a "forbidden" food.

Strict diets, which usually have a long laundry list of so called "bad" foods, are difficult to maintain and have never been shown to be more effective in the long-run. Though I agree with that, I don't think strict diets are the whole story. Eating anything has a calming effect on the brain and nervous system. Eating certain foods, namely sugars and sweets, have a direct effect on the amount of "feel good" chemicals in the brain. Carbohydrates increase serotonin, and drugs which increase serotonin levels are used to treat people with depression and anxiety.
