00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Top 8 Signs You Might Have A Food Addiction.
00:14Food addiction isn't officially listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
00:18Disorders DSM-5, but it often involves binge eating, cravings, and a lack of control around
00:23food. While occasional cravings or overeating don't necessarily indicate food addiction,
00:27here are 8 common symptoms to watch for. 1. Cravings Despite feeling full,
00:32it's normal to crave something even after a big meal, like ice cream after dinner.
00:36Cravings aren't the same as hunger, they're about wanting something that makes you feel good,
00:40like foods that release dopamine in the brain. If you find these cravings hard to ignore or
00:45satisfy, it might be a sign of food addiction. 2. Eating More Than Intended
00:49If you can't stop at just one bite of chocolate or one piece of cake, and moderation doesn't work
00:54for you, this could be a sign of food addiction. For someone with food addiction, telling them to
00:58eat junk food in moderation is like telling an alcoholic to drink moderately, it's very hard.
01:033. Eating Until Excessively Stuffed When giving into a craving, you might eat
01:07until you're uncomfortably full. This happens because you're trying to satisfy the urge,
01:12even if it means overeating. 4. Feeling Guilty But Repeating The Behavior
01:16You might feel guilty after indulging in unhealthy foods but find yourself doing it again soon.
01:21This cycle of guilt and repetition is common in food addiction.
01:245. Making Up Excuses To justify giving into cravings,
01:28you might create rules for yourself that are hard to follow. For example, you might tell yourself
01:33it's okay to eat junk food if you don't buy it yourself, but then find ways around the rule.
01:376. Repeated Failures At Setting Rules Trying to set rules like,
01:41only eat junk food on weekends, or only have one cheap day a week often fails.
01:46These repeated failures are a sign of struggling with self-control around food.
01:507. Hiding Eating From Others You might start eating junk food in
01:54secret to avoid judgment from others. This can mean eating alone, in the car,
01:58or late at night when everyone else is asleep. 8. Unable To Quit Despite Health Problems
02:04Junk food can cause weight gain, acne, fatigue, and more. Long-term consumption can lead to
02:09serious health issues like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers.
02:14If you're experiencing these problems but can't change your eating habits, you likely need help.
02:19Recognizing these symptoms can help you understand if you might have a food addiction.
02:23Seeking professional help can make a significant difference in managing your
02:26eating behaviors and improving your health. Thanks for watching, Sunbro. Please subscribe,
