Discussion 5
1. Consider the controversy related to food addiction. Some individuals in recovery from food addiction have noted that they need to abstain from certain foods (processed sugar) in order to have control over their eating behaviors.
In contrast, some clinicians who specialize in eating disorders report that moderation, rather than restricting particular food groups, is the goal of healthy eating. What are your thougths related to the addictive nature of particular foods?
2. Describe the relationship between alcohol use and exercise addiction. What are causes, symptoms, overlaps, etc.?
