Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Self-regulation of overeating

Comments
Hi there, looking like a practical and useful guide so far. Possible further areas to include if you need them:


 * - How overexposure to food in the media influences overeating, along with social factors (eating alone or with company)
 * - I also remember how James mentioned in a lecture that dieting increases ghrelin levels (hunger messengers) and can induce binge eating.

All the best & looking forward to reading it! - Jaybay 06:27, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey there. I really like your topic and your page so far. It looks like you've made sure to cover off on the "how to stop overeating" stuff which is great. I was wondering if you plan to include something about fad diets and why they don't work? Good work on your page :-) TabithaJ 09:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Looking really good. Also I've seen some stuff on boredom and overeating and I remember reading somewhere that behaviors such as watching tv or eating while at your desk condition your mind to feel hungry when doing those things. So every time I eat at my desk, the next time I sit down I am conditioning myself to get hungry. EamesA 02:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

HI Clair, I am very passionaite about healthy eating and promoting the cause ;).A possible concept you could bring up when talking about tips on food control is in relation to leptin and high satiety foods. for example, fats and protien digest slower than carbohydrates. therefore this contributes to longer periods of satiety, influencing leptin, which decreases food seeking behaviour. one could argue that a diet high in the two macro nutrients could promote negative feed back signals, decreasing evereating due to longer periods of satiety.Lucas K 23:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey Claremw I was just wondering if you were happy for me to put your page in the topic as apart of my "See Also" section? I am discussing eating from an emotional perspective rather than motivational. Thanks, your chapter is looking great so far!! Ashleetronerud 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Clair, Thanks for the reply. Yes, as you suggested, fat does slow gastric emptying, and its incompatibility with water restrains its digestion more so than carbs. Fats are KJ dense therefore half the portion of food is needed for the same energy output. nevertheless, promoting fats for dietary benifit could SCARE the public LOL!

Hey, good job so far! I agree with JayBay, in that i'd like to read about the influence of social factors on eating. I guess for a lot of people eating is a big part of the social world, and it would be good to know what effect this has on eating habits. You could maybe even talk about how people eat differently with different social groups, i.e. when i'm with my family I eat whatever I want, but when with people I don't know so well, I tend to not eat so much. Might be getting a bit too in depth, haha, but just a suggestion! Tashc 10:04, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there! Just a little thing which you probably already know. Please correct me if I'm wrong but there should be a comma after the name and before the year in the 'bracketed' citations. E.g. (Smith, 2011), (Smith & Jones, 2011) etc. Your work is coming along really well though! HarryMMM 23:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC) - Hey HarryMMM thanks for your comment. I am hoping to put all my references in as foot notes anyway so those in text references are really just place holders. i appreciate the in put tho- Keep it coming lol Claremw 23:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, looks like you page is right on track it looks great :). I really enjoyed your final section on conflicting standards.Trinand 11:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

hey there I really like the pictures you have on your page, they do look apetising, would it be interesting to find out how overeating can be related to obesity? Shanti 11:35, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Clair, so sorry for the late reply, but thanks so much for your comments on my topic. Yes sure, I would be more than happy to link our chapters -- make sure I do it right, otherwise feel free to edit it in, as I am not exactly a Wikiversity expert .;) good luck with the final editing!!!

Hey there! A very appetising chapter! Made me hungry! I really enjoyed your chapter and felt I could relate to some of the "take home" messages you were referring to. Being a university student, I agree that socialising makes you gain weight! There is always somewhere new to try out! Good job on your chapter! SKM1501 07:32, 07 November 2011 (UTC)
