Discuss explanations for the success and/or failure of dieting (25 marks) The cognitive behavioural approach looks to explain dieting through positive and negative thought processes. The main reason why people want to lose weight is because they have negative views on their own body image. Herman and Polivy try to explain why restraint might actually increase eating, through their boundary model, which is that when dieting there is a conflict between the physiological need for food and the cognitive control over what should be eaten whilst dieting. The problem is that after the first 5-10% initial weight los the person begins to reach a plateau and the weight loss stops. A further problem is that at this point the body’s psychological needs and desire to maintain a certain set point over ride the cognitive control of the diet.
People with this disorder usually eat low calorie diet, and make starving themselves. Another type of eating disorder could be bulimia. Individual with bulimia tries to control his/her weight by binge eating and then by deliberately being sick or using laxatives and medication to help empty their bowels. These two disorders when people under eat, but there is the eating disorder when person over eat. It is called binge eating or compulsive eating.
Outline and evaluate explanations for the success/failure in dieting One explanation for the success or failure in dieting can be explained using the “restraint theory.” Restrained eating is a common characteristic of dieting and research shows that 89% of the female population in the UK consciously restrain their food intake in some point of their lives. Herman and Polivy (1894) developed the boundary model in an attempt to explain why dieting may lead to overeating. According to this model, hunger keeps intake of food above a certain minimum, and satiety works to keep intake below some maximum level. Dieters tend to have a larger range between hunger and satiety levels as it takes them longer to feel hungry and more food to satisfy them. Restrained eaters have a self-imposed desired intake.
My example for anal is this type of personality is less likely to conform to the norm. He didn’t have many friends and spent most of his time with computer rather than what people his own age were doing. The stage that I feel Hank is fixated on is the oral stage. In the beginning of the case study they talk about what a bad day Hank had and because of it he was eating a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Then he sparked up a cigarette which they stated made him feel better.
How can a primary school recognise and support eating disorders? Developing eating disorders Adolescence is seen as the most common time to develop an eating disorder (Beat, 2014; Hill and Pallin, 1998; Manley et al, 2000), however recent headlines have publicised that children are developing eating disorders from a much earlier age than ever before (The Telegraph, 2011). In addition, psychologists have carried out studies on children, some as young as 6 years, to record their perception of body image and dieting, with some alarming results (Hill et al 1994; Pine 2001; Fabian and Thompson 1989). With this in mind and taking into consideration that most children spend the majority of their day in school, it has to be said that staff within the learning environment are in the prime position of noticing harmful eating behaviours before parents or carers and, therefore, have the important role of supporting pupils within the guidelines of government programmes like Every Child Matters (Department for Education and Skills, DfES, 2003) and National Healthy Schools (Department for Education and Employment, DfEE, 1999). Additionally, this raises the question of how much do primary schools actually know about eating disorders and as they are indeed the first point of contact regarding recognition of eating behaviours, should they offer a teaching programme to the children on eating disorders?
They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something." There is something this person can do to fix this problem of obesity. This person can stop blaming the restaurants, stop eating at the restaurants, start making healthy decisions, and exercise. If not, then this person can keep making the decision of eating there and getting fat, but not sue the restaurant because this is a decision he has made. Fast food restaurants dont force the clients to buy and eat there.
Stevens Villalon 10/22/2013 EN 101 - Composition 1 Prof. Della Fera “Defense of food” Eating processing food is killing us slowly without our permission. Everyone needs to eat something every day. So, they can be fine all day. If someone does not eat anything at all, it can affect their health slowly. For instance, losing energy, feeling sick, might faint.
Oral stage is the first stage. Mouth activities such as sucking, biting, and licking will probably we have noticed that infants seem to put everything in their mouth. Freud also believed that there could be two reasons for fixation. First if the infant weaned too early then it would feel forever under-gratified and unsatisfied and would develop into a negative, sarcastic person. Secondly, when infants weaned too late then it would over-gratified the develop individual’s innocent personality, simply trusting in others and with a tendency to swallow everything.
An article on blood sugar and the effects of a carb heavy meals on blood sugar, completely explains how a few drinks cause a sensation of false hunger referred to as the Munchies. “When we eat, our body converts digestible carbohydrates into glucose; our main source of energy. Our blood sugar level can affect how hungry and how energetic we feel. Our pancreas creates a hormone called insulin that transports blood sugar into our body's cells where it is used for energy. Eating carbohydrate rich foods or drinks such as alcohol that are quickly processed into blood sugar causes the pancreas to go into overtime to produce the insulin necessary for all this blood sugar to be used for energy.
Smoking, drinking too much alcohol and excessive eating have been linked to oral fixation in adults. Anal Stage · The anal phase is marked by the beginning of toilet training when the child is aged between 18 months and 3 years old. She must learn to control his bowel movements, along with other aggressive desires. At this stage, the child derives pleasure from eliminating and retaining feces and begins to realize the power this gives her over her parents. Freud believed that anal fixation results from parents being too strict with children during toilet training.
