How to Cures for Overeating

Overeating may be caused by stress or by neurotoxins that we unknowingly eat as additives in some foods. Neurotoxins, along with other food additives, may excite and stimulate the appetite in some people and lead to overeating and obesity. Although you will not find the word neurotoxins on food labels, they are present in some of the packaged and boxed foods that are purchased from the grocery store, according to NaturalNews.com.



Overeating may also be caused by a disease such as Prader-Willi Syndrome. For those seeking a cure for overeating, check with a doctor first to rule out underlying health problems.

Instructions

• 1

  Visit your doctor and explain your concerns. Your doctor can run tests to exclude underlying physical conditions that may contribute to overeating, such as Prader-Willi Syndrome, or PWS, a genetic condition caused by a chromosonal abnormality. PWS causes the body to experience chronic hunger as it metabolizes fewer calories than normal, according to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association.

  People suffering from PWS are driven by the compulsion to eat because they are eternally hungry. There is help for this condition available at pwsausa.org.

• 2

  Read food labels and learn to recognize neurotoxic food additives, like MSG, yeast extract and maltodextrin that excite and stimulate the appetite and contribute to overeating. Avoid them when you can.

• 3

  Introduce raw plant foods--vegetables and fruits--into the diet. These foods satisfy the body naturally, and it takes less of them to produce the "full" feeling. They are also lower in calories.

  Cut down or eliminate the white foods: white flour, white sugar, desserts and dairy.
