Psychology Of Eating From Biology To Culture To Policy Balloon Surgery For Weight Loss

Are you unhappy with your current weight? Have you tried to lose weight but failed? Do you keep jumping from one fad diet to another? Do you try to eat healthily but for some reason, you still aren't the weight you want to be? Does it all seem too hard, and you give up on your weight-loss goals altogether?
The psychology of eating is the essential multi-disciplinary introduction to the psychology of eating, looking at the biological, genetic, developmental, and social determinants of how humans find and assimilate food.
Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition brings multi-faceted expertise to the topic of normal and dysfunctional food intake, juxtaposing "normal" eating, eating in environments of food scarcity, and the phenomenon of "abnormal" eating prevalent in many modern-day developed societies. Eating disorders are not a focus, but also emerge from, this approach.
With questions of food production, food choice, and environmental sustainability becoming more critical in an increasingly populated world, this is crucial reading for undergraduate courses in Psychology and other disciplines with a holistic and critical thinking approach to the psychology of food intake.
