Greetings!
  • The Science of Compulsive Eating
  • by Darlene Kvist, M.S., C.N.S., L.N.

    Do you know that compulsive eaters come in all sizes, ages, gender, economic levels and race? Are you a compulsive eater? You are not alone! If you can't stop eating just one cookie, a few chips, one small bag of M&Ms or one cup of breakfast cereal, you're like millions of others.

    Three years ago, a handsome, hardworking, 50-year- old man sat at my counseling table and said, "Dar, I am tired of eating like an adolescent. Now that I'm 50, I want to start eating like an adult."

    What Rick meant was that he was tired of bingeing on junk food and highly processed carbohydrates such as cookies and crackers and grabbing fast food for lunch while downing several Mountain Dews for energy.

    Rick would often come home from work and eat non- stop--peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, chips, and ice cream-until he was exhausted. Then he would fall into bed and sleep fitfully, waking up feeling depressed from the sugar. Disgusted with himself, Rick knew he was out of control and would repeat the behavior again that day. This behavior is similar to that described by alcoholics in treatment.

    If you experience this guilt-ridden, remorseful, out-of- control eating behavior, you are not alone! Food is no longer the solution. It is your problem.

    Science of Compulsive Eating continued...

    This week on "Dishing Up Nutrition" Dar and Wendy will be discussing how therapeutic nutrition can help curb or solve compulsive eating.
