Men and weight

Remember,This is the first line from a track on the album "Abhay Road". The Beatles song- which can be attributed to the existence of gravity on the existence of men, can be said more than psychological weight. "In 1999, all people who had eating disorders were men from 1 to 10, today it is 1 out of 4: a 150 percent increase in circulation," said Raymond Lemberg, PhD, a psychiatrist at Prescott, Ariz. Are, and Male current conclusion on the accompanying trouble in the coeditor's eating They also developed the EDAM, a food disorder assessment for men that is in the process of being finalized. "More men are now seeking treatment or being recognized in the treatment, and there are more programs where men can get help," he says.
And yet, the National Dietary Dissociation Association says that while the image of the male body has increased dramatically, men are still less likely to seek help for eating more, less men receive treatment than women. Are, and diagnosed under dietary disorders for men.
Body Image Issues
In men, which are included in eating, undereating, and binge eating, eating habits can be triggered by distorted feelings about painful emotions and body image. Many emotions are aggravated by popular culture. "It's mainly driven by the media," says Richard Bedrosian, PhD, Johnson and Johnson, a clinical psychologist and health director at Health and Wellness Solutions. "In a mainstream film, a man starts shaving his shirt and you see less percentage of fat in the body, rippling fishes, and 6-pack abs. This is the reason that the model is starting to take its place beside the improper expectation of women. "
Women have historically lost the flaws of changing the form of their body objectified, male form, whereas in the last decade there is abundant. "The media has become more of a similar opportunity discriminator," says Lemberg. "Men as women have been identified in the past by means of media pressures in the past. In fashion, fitness and exercise, there is money to be made. "Even action figures are slimmed down and that muscles and Barbie can do better for a human body distorted.
But when it is acceptable to see men, with women eating a whole pizza themselves, it is considered taboo. So men can not even recognize that they have a problem.
"There is not only a social stigma throughout the American culture, but also throughout the mental health field," says Bedrosian. "And the image of a strong silent man is argued against the help of men."
How To Set Up Some Food Cravings
There is also a physical component involved in excessive eating. Most especially, more foods have been done than ever before that have been "refined" to our physiologies, Lemberg says. "The scientists develop simple flavors of sugars and simple carbs-" Feeling good "foods that produce brain chemistry and increase in serotonin," he says. These "craveable" food items are widely available and are often difficult to look at inexpensive survival. Finally, some people may be accustomed to these foods and use them for their own medicines for depression and anxiety.
What is the solution? Try to make peace with food: Keep trigger foods away from them by keeping them out of your house. Finding alternatives to favorite junk food (eg, Greek curd instead of fruits and ice cream, crazy or crackers instead of chips) Be honest with yourself: The foods you eat due to your stomach and which you can eat without it up and doing? For example, if you can not eat one serving potato chips, leave them out of your diet, at least leave for now. But being harsh or restrictive, avoid this type of approach to vomiting and bingeing. Before eating a suspicious meal, ask yourself, "How am I going to feel after eating this?
"The food that we have the ability to temporarily reduce the pain," says Bedrosian, who says that food can become an counterattack strategy for life. The habit of eating more can grow as a way of avoiding the present moment or filling up the free time.
For those who eat more, this food is a stable, hopeful pattern of a regular, in which you already develop alternative combat skills to deal with the setting of food plan and negative feelings that give birth to a binge. be important for. Instead of eating when you are troubled, other things seem to do.
