Eat Sereno - Eat Serene

The food addict is the person who reacts to food or certain foods differently from how a “normal” person would react – if such a word exists. A normal person, for example, is satisfied with a piece of cake or a single slice of bread, while a food addict does not know how to do it, or at least not with ease. The food addict would most likely continue eating to the point of feeling sick, endangering their physical and mental well-being.

The obsession with food and body image is also the main characteristic of the food addict. Similar to the alcoholic or drug addict, the food addict suffers from a “compulsion” to overeat and / or badly. For this reason this person is also called a “compulsive eater”, just as alcoholics who drink to excess are known as compulsive drinkers. The food addict may be able to refrain from overeating, but his obsession with food will continue anyway.

You are the only person who can decide what level of dependence on food you have but if you are still reading you have probably experienced a more or less important level of dependence on food.

This quiz will help you understand if and to what extent you are.
