• W897285837 abstract "Why Some Women Eat Too Much: A Qualitative Study of Food-dependent Women by GiGi Van Ostrand MSc, University of Calgary, 1993 DVM, University of Saskatchewan, 1977 BSc, University of Calgary, 1973 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Health Psychology Walden University February 2015 Abstract Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and limiting one’s food intake, or dieting, is usually unsuccessful. The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of food addiction (FA) on the current clinical and behavioral epidemic of obesity. FA, synonymous with food-dependency, is tentatively defined as an eating disorder based on substance dependence, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Measurement of FA has been operationalized by the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) by applying the diagnostic criteria of substance dependence to eating behaviors. This study was based on the biological theory of chemical addiction and the evidence that highly processed, high-fat, and high-sugar foods may be addictive and may contribute to unsuccessful dieting. To explore the difficulty of adhering to healthy food choices, 6 women were identified who satisfied the diagnostic criteria of FA using the YFAS. These women were invited to participate in a qualitative study. The full transcripts, which were coded via interpretative phenomenological analysis, revealed 6 major themes. The most salient master themes were the loss of control over food intake, the need for external control for successful weight loss, and the significant distress caused by food and eating. All the women interviewed agreed that FA is an eating disorder and that (a) best results were obtained from sugar and flour abstinence and (b) success was found in a 12 Step program for FA based on an addiction model. Once identified with the YFAS, FA has a large impact for social change. Those recognized as having a FA can be offered a specific treatment, based on an addiction model, which differs from the usual treatment for obesity and offers a solution for successful weight management.Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and limiting one’s food intake, or dieting, is usually unsuccessful.

Why Some Women Eat Too Much: A Qualitative Study of Food-dependent Women by GiGi Van Ostrand MSc, University of Calgary, 1993 DVM, University of Saskatchewan, 1977 BSc, University of Calgary, 1773 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Health Psychology Walden University February 2015 Dedication I would like to dedicate this research to all the men and women who have difficulty controlling their food intake and suffer from obesity. Food cravings can often lead to obesity and the resultant health problems. Obese individuals suffer from health problems and the psychological stress of discrimination. I have learned that food addiction, representing a significant portion of obese individuals, can be a devastating condition for many people. These individuals cannot control their eating and traditional methods of dieting are ineffective leaving them to suffer the consequences of obesity. It is the suffering of these individuals that has prompted me to do this research in a hope to find some solutions to addictive eating. Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Walden faculty and staff for their tremendous support in this very long endeavor. In particular my chair, Dr. Silvia Bigatti, and my committee member, Dr. Leann Stadtlander, have been instrumental in this final effort. I would also like to thank the participants in this study as it took courage and commitment to give such honest interviews on a sensitive topic. I also have to give credit to my friends who have listened to me describe my research over the last eight years without judgment." @default.
