How to control the craving for food

Special craving for food may be a manifestation of bulimia, and treatment can be controlled by behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, and medication such as fluoxetine. 1. Behavioral therapy: Binge eating is often an adaptive manifestation of the patient’s response to bad emotions and stress. By changing diet, life habits to control weight, channeling bad emotions, releasing stress, and helping patients gradually learn to regulate their state of mind, thus controlling the desire to eat. 2. Cognitive therapy: Overeating behavior may stem from a false perception of one’s own weight and body shape. The focus is on changing this false perception and helping patients recognize “healthy beauty”. 3. Medication: The use of antidepressants such as fluoxetine, appetite suppressants and protein supplements can effectively control the symptoms of bulimia, but the efficacy of the medication is not clear and the relapse rate is high. Binge eating is a manifestation of a disease, which needs to be diagnosed by a doctor and treated reasonably, and cannot be treated on its own to avoid serious consequences.
