Why we cite it
A narrative review of stress, eating behavior and obesity in humans. The authors ”tentatively conclude that stress can influence eating patterns in humans”: stress appears to alter overall intake in two ways, toward under- or overeating, which may depend on stressor severity; chronic stress appears to be associated with a preference for foods high in sugar and fat; and longitudinal evidence suggests that chronic life stress may be causally linked to weight gain, ”with a greater effect seen in men”.
