EMOTIONAL EATING - NEW SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS!
By: Coach Pete
 |
"Coach Pete
with Omega Speed Training
has helped me grow as an athlete. The speed training
programs, and speed training camps were awesome! In the strength and
conditioning programs that were given by Omega
Speed Training - I have seen a
ton of improvement in a short period of time.
Omega Speed Training workouts are the best and I look forward to
coming to the gym to workout because I know the
workout I am now doing is getting big results.
I can't thank Coach Pete with Omega Speed
Training enough, he knows his
stuff when it comes to speed training and knows how to work with a variety of
people. He is the man - thanks Coach
Pete!"

Why do millions of us turn to fatty foods for comfort
when we are stressing out?
UCSF researchers have recently identified a biochemical
feedback system that could explain why millions of us
crave comfort foods - such as chocolate chip cookies,
and greasy cheeseburgers when we are chronically
stressed out and thus gain weight in the abdomen region.
Scientists are declaring that soothing, calorie-rich
foods actually keep the body from releasing stress
hormones. When we are stressed out, overeating
fatty foods calms our bodies and prohibits the further
releasing of stress hormones.
The UCSF researchers determined that 24 hours after
activation of our chronic stress system - which
stimulates a flood of hormonal signaling from the
hypothalamus to the adrenal glands - cortisol prompts us
to engage in pleasure seeking behaviors, which include
eating high-energy foods such as sucrose and lard.
The high-energy foods BLUNT the negative aspects of the
chronic stress response system. The researchers
suspect that the metabolic signal to inhibit the stress
system comes directly from fat depots.
The
finding offers an explanation into how chronic
stress can be inhibited, or curbed. While the body's
acute response to stress - say to being cut off in
traffic by a speeding car - diminishes through a
naturally occurring inhibitory feedback mechanism of
the adrenal stress system, its chronic response to
stress - in which a barrage of threats, scares or
frustrations occur over days, weeks or months --
becomes chronically excited. Over time, the elevated
stress level can initiate a host of deleterious
effects on the body - a loss or gain of weight,
depression, obesity (associated with type II
diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke), and a
loss of brain tissue. Our studies suggest that
comfort food applies the brakes on a key element of
chronic stress. And it could explain, why
solace is often sought in such foods by people with
stress, anxiety or depression. It also could help to
explain bulimic and night-binging eating disorders.
This seems to be the body's way of telling the
brain, 'It's ok, you can relax, you're refueled with
high-energy food. The message is clearly being
transmitted in the middle-aged man or woman with a
gut. This body type represents the classic
distribution of fat from stress. The new model may
explain why losing weight is notoriously difficult.
Losing weight is literally stressful, which makes a
person feel anxious, and stress hormones make a
person crave high energy foods, which blunt the
feelings of stress and make one feel better.
If, after the near-miss on the freeway, you get into
work and almost lose your job during an argument
with your boss, and have a fight at home that night
- and these types of events are relentless -- you're
going to have chronically elevated adrenal hormones
[ie., chronic stress]," he says. There has to be a
brake on the system, and, for some, it's chocolate,"
says study co-author Norman Pecoraro, PhD, a
postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of senior
author Mary Dallman, PhD, UCSF professor of
physiology. |
Stress is a part of our daily lives - so it is
important to find a good antidote that will
treat our bouts with chronic stress, but eating
high energy (fatty) foods - rich in fat and
sugar brings with it serious health
consequences.
Other alternatives that DO work are resistance
and/or cardio exercises, sex, bubble baths and
other relaxation techniques! All of which
were noted in the study to stimulate
neurochemicals that activate regions of the
brain that stimulate pleasure and thus blunt the
negative aspects of the chronic stress response
system.
It is important to note that drugs and alcohol
are just as bad as eating fatty foods when
treating our bouts with chronic stress.
The same study found that drugs and alcohol do
not provide sufficient metabolic feedback, and
may even stimulate further stress.
Finally, we should all take a few moments to
identify those triggers in our lives that are
causing bouts with chronic stress and eliminate
and/or reduce them altogether, if possible.
The good news is that scientifically our
unhealthy emotional eating is a neurochemical
response and not an emotional response and it is
for a good reason, but the even better news is
that we have other healthy alternatives in our
arsenal to help combat against our bouts with
chronic stress.
A big smile to you.
