Hunger, Frust und Schokolade

Psychology and food - food and feelings: This is the specialty of Würzburg psychologist Prof. Dr. Michael Macht. In his popular non-fiction book, he vividly and entertainingly describes why we eat and how food is linked to our feelings - psychology to enjoy!
. Why do we eat when we are frustrated and stressed?
. Why do we so often fail to change our eating habits?
. Why do we so rarely obey reason when we eat?
It's because of our feelings! They are as important for food intake as nutrients, hormones and neurotransmitters. Emotional processes are indispensable for controlling food intake - it is no coincidence that we can hardly see, smell or taste anything edible without feeling at least a hint of emotion: emotions control our eating behavior - and with our eating behavior, we can control our emotions.
Psychologist Michael Macht has been working in this field for years, and in his book he provides a comprehensive insight into the mysterious relationship between our eating behavior and our feelings.
