Low mood can often result in comfort eating, although occasionally it seems to have the opposite effect. Studies seek to investigate the effect of mood and distress on eating often look for either hypophagia( excess under-eating) or hyperphagia( excessive eating) as well as changes in patterns of consumption and food preferences. Odgen(2007) introduced a masking hypotheses where he observed that dieters who overeat in response to low mood may be seeking to mask their negative mood( dysphasia) with a temporary heightened mood induced by eating. Also, other people might get carbohydrate-craving syndrome in response to their low mood where they have an irresistible desire to consume sweet or starchy foods. Eating such things triggers an improvement in mood as carbohydrates are an important source of the amino acid tryptophan which is an essential building block for serotonin.
