Dr. Vera Tarman, a recovering food addict, addiction expert and author, says not wanting people to see how you eat is one sign that you may be addicted to food. — via healthing_ca ObesityMatters addunplug healthing obesity foodaddiction
The next one is, are you eating in a way that, even though it’s disturbing your life, your blood sugar levels, the numbers on the scale, you can’t stop and you want to stop. Usually, people with addiction come to a place where it’s not about missing my favourite drink or my favourite food. It’s ‘I wish I could stop,’ but they can’t.
And if you live in 2023 in a country where you’re eating a lot of processed foods like Canada, America, the processed food industry makes foods that they call highly palatable, but they are essentially addictive. If that’s all you’re eating, then you’re going to be more prone to becoming addicted.I’m not a fan of diets. People, especially those who are overweight, will say that they dieted themselves into obesity. Because what happens with dieting is it’s a short-term solution.
Dr. Vera Tarman is the medical director of a residential addiction treatment centre in Toronto and author of Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction. SUPPLIED There are going to be people reading this who may start to see themselves in some of your descriptions. What should be their first step to get help?I want to reassure people that it’s a spectrum with early stages, mid-stage, later stage, much like alcoholism. It starts off with drinking too much, and at some point they cross a line and then they’re in trouble. A lot of people who are in the early stage are just starting to ask questions.
It’s also important to recognize that this is like depression and anxiety. Food addiction is a biological, psychological phenomenon. It’s not about willpower. It’s not because you’re a pig and you don’t know how to stop. It’s about recognizing that something has taken over — remember the definition of addiction is you can’t stop even if you want to. You want to get information, then next, is to get support, and the third thing would be to know there is hope.
