Our new view:
The objective is to find treatment, so the order of treatment of the problems may be important.
Common descriptions of the issues:
- Metabolic syndrome, aka Carbohydrate intolerance
- Conditioned Hypereating, aka habit, carbohydrate intolerance
- Food Addiction ... consuming hyperpalatable foods.
- Emotional overeating, aka stress refeed,
Causes
1Spiritual / belief disorders, - treatment - reprogramming. (this is where my greatest changes have occurred) Developing the desire to overcoming - ignorance, apathy, greed, aversion, delusion, attachment- and do something about the problem. Those who do not care cannot be helped. Some will understand and for those, I will carry on.
- Core beliefs are those we never think about, but cause us trouble. Future must be changed in the now. To survive, we must change and never go back. take no prisoners. 3 moderate meal per day. no smacks. no sugar. no wheat. no processed foods. Core beliefs can be changed. They are part of ego, a construct of the mind, reflection of other collective egos, impersonal, and impermanent.
- Compulsive Overeating, a behavioural addiction, (as opposed to the atypical bulimia, anorexia). Treatment - Schwartz, OA, alternate obsession with 3 moderate meals per day, and work or live the remainder of the time.
- Sugar Addiction, a substance addiction. (dopamine circuit) Treatment - complete abstinence. May also include fructose addition, and fruit may also need to be excluded.
- Grain Addiction, a substance addiction. (serotonin circuit) wheat, gluten and/or gladin, amepectin A, or carbohydrate in general - Treatment complete abstinence.
- Over production of gehlin, chronic stress, chronic distress, chronic abuse, trapped, ... Treatment ???
- Over appetite stimulation - Treatment - remove all appetite stimulus... coffee, alcohol, sugar, grains, great tasting processed food, chocolate, etc. Reward theory-
- Cravings - Treatment - supplements as required, removal of triggers... temptation.
- Hunger - removal of fructose, and glucose, lactose, gladen, gladin, etc, from diet, or what ever is triggering the hunger. Including leptin resistance, insulin blocking leptin signal, fructose blocking leptin signal.
- Insulin, low blood sugars - low carb, let the liver produce the required glucose. This includes insulin resistance/ fat locked in issues/ division of energy (Taubes, Lustig)
- Tired - go to bed. Angry, lonely, bored, resentful, (get over it - buckup buttercup)
- Emotional issues - Deal with it. or become a Buddhist or Stoic. Part of the ego protections, the ego is a construct of the mind, and is impersonal and impermanent, reflection of the collective egos of others.
- Personality issues - personality disorders -
- lack of food knowledge - ignorance, apathy, greed
- other physical, emotional, medical issues
A frame work for resolving overeating is required to identify and classify the causes of overeating, with the hope that removing or addressing each individual cause, a solution for myself may be found. Bear with me here, this is just a growing list.

- some people say some of these are not real, other claim they are very real... what to we actually know... are they real to only subsets of the population, or only when a number of factors occur.
