Are You Addicted to Food?

Why do we eat the type and amount of food we do? What determines our food choices and when we choose to stop eating? There are a number of factors that play a role and now research is looking into the concept of food addiction.

Rats can become addicted to cookies...can we?

There is a growing body of research that indicates people could be addicted to food in the classical definition of addiction.

Researchers are showing that rats can become addicted to food and display all the symptoms of irritability, withdrawal and the ability to massively overeat when food is present. This research is giving us the framework to study if some people are also addicted to food.

Being addicted to food presents a unique problem as we must continue to eat. You can’t just go off of food cold turkey and never eat again.

So how do you overcome an addiction to a something that you need to consume on a daily basis to survive?

The first step is to find out if you truly have a food addiction or just tend to overeating at social occasions or when you’re bored. The reason some people overeat is never clear and the potential for true addiction is another factor in a long list of potential problem we need to tackle.

A Reexamination of “What is Healthy?”

The lines between weight loss, muscle building, fitness and health can get blurry. Having a clear understanding of each aspect and how it relates to your life is the first step to getting what you want out of your body.

Will You be "Healthy" if you eat these foods?

Weight loss and muscle building are a bit more straight forward than the others.

Fitness becomes trickier to define because its dependent on the kind of fitness and the level you want to achieve. Is the goal to be an olympic level endurance athlete, or a recreational level strength athlete?

Defining health is the most difficult of all, and this is the topic of todays uncensored podcast.

When you think of the word ‘health’ you probably have both a body image and a lifestyle idea that includes exercise and diet that matches your minds image of what ‘health’ means.

Health however is not a universal definition that can be applied to all people. In fact, it is a personal definition that can only ever be applied by one person to themselves.

In todays podcast we discuss what the variables are that can go into your definition of health and how each person has to decide for themselves what they want from their body and their life.
