Page 2 of 6 Group B: "I Crave Food Always!"
- Do you have an inexplicable obsession with food?
- Do you have a habit of eating late at night after dinner?
- Do you have a tendency to binge?
- Do you constantly crave sweets, pasta, bread and other high-carbohydrate foods?
- Do you nibble all day long when food is available?
- Do you have a strong desire to eat again within two hours of eating a filling meal?
- Do you consider yourself a compulsive eater?
- Have you ever said, "I only wish I could control my eating behavior"?
- Do you wish you had more control over how much food you eat?
- Do you have specific symptoms of ill health, such as the ones I'm about to list, that diminish or vanish as soon as you eat? Do you suffer from:
- irritability?
- inexplicable drops in your energy level throughout the day?
- often overwhelming bouts of fatigue, especially in the afternoon?
- mood swings?
- difficulty concentrating?
- sleep difficulties-whether the need for lots of sleep or a habit of waking from a sound sleep?
- anxiety, sadness and depression for which there's no obvious explanation?
- dizziness, trembling or palpitations?
- brain fog and loss of mental acuity?
Group C: "I Can't Live Without This One Food!" - Do you have a single food or beverage you feel you could not do without?
- Would you pass up an elegant meal to have your most favorite food instead?
- Is there a specific food or beverage that makes you feel better as soon as you consume it?
- Do you ever think, "I wonder if I could be addicted to that food/beverage"?
- Do you feel this way about a category of foods (sweets, soft drinks, dairy products,grains, for example)?
