Are You Unable To Control How Much Food You Eat?

No matter what the marketers may claim, fat loss is dependent on being in a negative caloric state. There is no way around this simple truth.

The main problem here is that many fitness hopefuls can't control their drive to eat.

So here are some reasons why you may not be able to stop eating food:

1. You have become addicted to the dopamine rush: Dopamine, a pleasure chemical in your brain, gets released when you eat. If you become dependent on this rush, you may seek out food in abnormally high amounts.

2. Negative emotions have overtaken you: Because the ingestion of food can cause an almost immediate surge in feel good hormones, it can become very easy to use food as a tool for appeasing negative emotional states.

3. Your diet lacks bulk: If your diet doesn't have a critical mass of bulk, you will be perpetually hungry. The issue here is that your digestive system doesn't sense the caloric content of a meal, but it does sense how much volume is in a meal.

4. You are relying on extreme food restriction: Paradoxically, restricting food too much will backfire and you set you up for bingeing. And once you start bingeing the weight will come on very quickly. So make sure exercise is your main tool for achieving a negative caloric balance.

5. You may be insulin resistant: Now this isn't the norm, but insulin resistance can be inherited. Unfortunately, when you are insulin resistant, you can't process food that well which can leave you excessively hungry.

6. Sleep could be the culprit: Disrupted sleep can really alter normal eating patterns. You see, sleep helps your body's hormones enter a stable rhythm. Once this rhythm is interrupted, your levels of hunger can begin oscillating.

Not being able to control your food intake will keep you from getting the body you want. So take action here sooner rather than later.
