To study how these brain changes relate to food addiction , the researchers, led by Ashley Gearhardt of Yale University, studied a group of young women with an average age of about 21 and ranging from lean to obese.
They first studied their eating habits using the "Yale food addiction scale," which rated each of the women by their eating habits. Symptoms of food addiction, which are part of the scale, include: eating much more than planned, eating to the point of feeling physically ill and using food to mitigate feelings of anxiety or depression. They were separated into the "high food addiction" group — those who showed three or more symptoms — and the "low food addiction" group — who showed one or fewer symptoms.
The two groups were approximately the same in age and body mass index, or BMI, a measure of fatness based on a ratio of height and weight. In 60 percent of the trials, the image was followed with actual tasting of the beverage, while the rest of the time no food was delivered. It seems that for some, their drug of choice is food, in this case the chocolate milkshake.
And it is an important first step. Recovery goes on for life and many recovering addicts relapse from time to time. It is important to remember that if it happens, it is a normal part of recovery.
People in recovery sometimes gain a lot of weight. This can be due to having an insatiable appetite in early recovery, uncontrollable sugar cravings or a shift in the addiction from drugs to food.
When eating during recovery, the goals are to 1 set up a normal eating pattern, 2 keep levels of sugar in the blood as steady as possible, and 3 eat lots of healthy foods that replenish the body.
