Many people’s eating habits are also influenced by their environment. The attractive smell and appearance of food tempt us to eat more than we need.

Comments like “Come on, spoil yourself, have some cake!” lead us to consume unnecessary calories. Food helps us to feel better when we are suffering grief or stress. Eating binges after failed diets are a well-known phenomenon.

In the end, people who are already overweight give up and cannot escape the vicious circle.
