Description

Overeating, especially of unhealthy foods is a contributor to obesity.                                                                                                   

Goals

Digestive Issues:

Consuming large quantities of food in a single sitting can strain the digestive system, leading to discomfort, bloating, and indigestion. Chronic overeating may contribute to more severe digestive issues over time.
Mental Health:

Emotional factors can play a role in overeating. Conditions such as stress, depression, or anxiety may lead some individuals to use food as a coping mechanism, resulting in unhealthy eating patterns.
Nutrient Imbalance:

Overeating may not only involve consuming excessive calories but also lead to imbalances in nutrient intake. A diet lacking in essential nutrients while being high in calories can contribute to malnutrition.
Metabolic Disorders:

Certain medical conditions, such as binge eating disorder or certain hormonal imbalances, may lead to overeating. These conditions often require professional medical attention and treatment.
Cardiovascular Health:

Overeating, particularly of high-fat and high-sugar foods, can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels and increased blood pressure, raising the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Diabetes Risk:

Excessive calorie intake, especially from sugary foods and drinks, is linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
