Emotional eating is an overeating behavior triggered by emotions. Emotional eating is also defined as an impaired eating behavior. Most people feel happy when they eat, but the main negative emotions trigger emotional eating. Negative emotions such as anger, fear, stress, and sadness trigger impaired eating behaviors. Emotional eaters tend to overeat to suppress these feelings. Emotional eaters eat high-calorie diets based on carbohydrates and fats. This is due to the stimulation of the reward pathway in the brain. Emotional eating is also linked to diseases such as obesity, heart disease, eating disorders, and depression. As individuals with obesity have a tendency to emotional eating, emotional eaters are more prone to obesity. In addition, the emotional changes experienced by bariatric surgery candidates, which is a treatment for obesity, push these individuals to emotional eating. Emotional eating causes deterioration of health, weight gain, and various diseases in humans.
