Food addiction, like other addictions, is a brain disease, that is to say, it is not your stomach that asks you to eat, it is your brain. As in all addictions, we find this loss of control, this compulsion, this irrepressible need to eat, we know that we must not do it, that there will be consequences, in particular on weight, health, but we know it but we can't do it. And that is typical of addiction. Food addiction is a dependency on food, an irrepressible desire to consume, with an inability to control one's behavior even if the consequences are negative. Food addiction is a so-called "behavioral" addiction. It is a behavior that is repeated in order to provide pleasure or relieve an inner discomfort. But to talk about food addiction, there must also be "suffering". On the other hand, if, as with a pack of cigarettes, you need to know that you have some at home or that you go get some when you are not well. That is a different behavior. It is addiction. It is important for you to know that the “addiction circuit” for food is the same as for any type of addiction, with this famous process “of the reward circuit”. In reality you are not addicted to the substance that is food, but to the dopamine that you secrete when you eat to soothe yourself, relieve yourself, relax. When you eat, you compensate for a lack, a need, an emotion (this can be anger, fear, stress, deep sadness, loneliness, feelings related to your life problems). Food is a derived way to meet your need to solve your worries.
