Is hunger just a physical issue or more a question of mindset? Tanja Marfo suffers from her #appetite. For a long time, sugar was like a drug for her. For decades, she fought against her appetite and emotional eating. She tells Jasmina Neudecker how hunger and the psyche are linked for her. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people who are severely #overweight has more than doubled in the last 30 years, and even quadrupled among young people. Why do many of us eat more than our bodies actually need? What is hunger and what is appetite? And is it enough to understand that or do we need to change our view of body ideals? To find out, Jasmina Neudecker talks to nutritional psychologist Prof. Katja Kröller and learns why it's better to suck on chocolate. In an experiment, participants report what constant comments about their appearance do to them. And in an interview with sociologist Dr. Friedrich Schorb, the focus is on how hunger, the psyche, beauty ideals and #bodyshaming are more closely linked than it seems. Finally, Tanja Marfo takes us on her own journey: How did the influencer lose 75 kilos?
