    TITLE: A surprising brain discovery could help explain why we overeat fatty foods

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    A protein inside appetite-controlling brain cells may play an important role in preventing overeating and obesity, particularly when high-fat foods are readily available. Unexpected differences between males and females could also help explain why obesity risk—and responses to weight-loss drugs—can vary.

  2. #Overeating comes with an avoidable #environment burden. Viewing it as "metabolic" #foodwaste provides a complementary perspective for understanding inefficiencies in #foodsystems as—in some contexts—its GHG #emissions may exceed those of conventional food waste: doi.org/10.1016/B978...

  3. A quotation from James Howell

    The Gluttons dig their own graves with their teeth.
       
    [Le gourmans, sont leurs fosses avec leurs dents.]

    James Howell (c. 1594–1666) Welsh historian and writer

  5. *I've always thought this online food #trend was extremely #unhealthy & #dangerous. I wonder how many folks, who aren't well known, have died or become seriously sick from attempting this #overeating internet trend.*

    A popular #Chinese #mukbang #streamer named Pan Xiaoting passed away on July 14, 2024, while she was doing an #EatingChallenge in a #livestream. The 24-year-old #ContentCreator is known for doing extreme challenges online, consuming vast amounts of food for long periods, sometimes 10 hours and more.

    According to Hankyung, the autopsy revealed that Xiaoting died due to overeating. Her abdomen was found to be deformed, and her stomach contained an excessive amount of undigested food. The streamer reportedly consumed about 22 lbs of food in individual meals.

    Pan Xiaoting's death has sparked a lot of debate on #SocialMedia. However, it must be noted that the incident comes 3 years after #China #outlawed mukbang and #BingeEating content in the country. The Chinese government passed an #AntiFoodWaste #law in 2021 that outlawed citizens from ordering too much food from restaurants and other eateries in an attempt to curb waste. Mukbang has been staple food content in #Asian countries such as #SouthKorea for some time. Usually #liveStreamed or uploaded to platforms like YouTube, such videos feature content creators eating various types of foods for entertainment.

  7. CW: Obesity and weight loss

    I have noticed since watching Mulaney's Baby J that a lot of my thoughts and behaviors over food aren't that different from his about drugs.

  8. CW: Obesity and weight loss

    So I had a few thoughts about overeating and addiction that led me to a strange place.

    Come with me on this journey if you dare!

  9. When I learned to control the overeating that was making my gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) worse, my singing voice got better. I got other benefits too.

  10. I would really welcome any tips and advice regarding getting in a positive mindset for better eating and being more active. Really struggling to get motivated in this new year and keep eating excessively. 🥲

  11. How can the principles of mindfulness and compassion support a transition away from overeating and food addiction? I had the good luck of exploring this topic with Karen Steiner in conversation for the Vegan Family Kitchen Podcast.

    You can find the Vegan Family Kitchen podcast on all platforms.

    I hope this finds someone who needs to hear it.

  12. For those who have issues with overly large restaurant portion sizes, I highly recommend getting a box and putting half in the box when it arrives. The other trick I've used a fair bit is to find a plate that I can share with a friend and split it that way.

    Athena Scalzi talks about her experience getting a box with her meal and it's worth a read for those who might be struggling.

  13. The #culturalMasters in #Australia have produced television #programming that glorifies #junkFood as snacks.

    The subtexts being:
    a) indulge in #nostalgia,
    b) #consume,
    c) love #bigBrands,
    d) eat #processedFoods with imported ingredients, produced in a way that may cause #inflammation and #cancer,
    e) Aussie kids, you are too healthy and we need to make you #sick.

    What do you think?
