What is a Food Addict?

Food addicts are individuals with extreme eating behaviors, primarily a preoccupation with food, food availability and the pleasure and anticipation of eating food.

Some characteristics of food addicts include:

Food addicts can be obese, normal weight or even underweight. They may be compulsive overeaters or binge eaters. They may have bulimia or anorexia.

Often food addicts seem physically healthy, but are constantly fixated on food and weight. They crave food, yet work tirelessly to control their food consumption and maintain their weight. This obsession can be overwhelming, and can lead to shame, depression and hopelessness.

Food addiction is similar to alcohol abuse and drug addiction, and like someone with a substance abuse addiction, professional treatment is required for recovery. For food addicts, diet alone is not the answer. Treatment must include a number of therapies that address the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Learn more about food addiction treatment.
