Document Summary
We eat in order to sustain ourselves and eating is something that mandatory for everyone in order to gain energy/calories and nutrients to survive. Thus, we all need to have some sort of relationship with food. Boundary model there are physiological and non-physiological (psychological) influences on eating. In terms of physiological influences: the physiological feeling of hunger ensures we don"t eat too little and the feeling of satiety ensures we don"t eat too much. Between satiety and hunger (the middle range) is where physiological needs are satisfied and it is here where psychological factors impact eating. https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=8ogsmh_czey (17 mins ted talk) watch this video for the test. Mindlesss eating (eating w/o paying to attention to what or how much you"re eating) is very common, particularly in north america. It is influenced by cues that we don"t acknowledge (even if we learn these exist, we still rarely acknowledge they are causing us to eat).
