8 Symptoms of Food Addiction There is no blood test available to diagnose food addiction. Just like with other addictions, it is based on behavioral symptoms. Here are 8 common symptoms that are typical of food addicts: You frequently get cravings for certain foods, despite feeling full and having just finished a nutritious meal. When you give in and start eating a food you were craving, you often find yourself eating much more than you intended to. When you eat a food you were craving, you sometimes eat to the point of feeling excessively “stuffed.” You often feel guilty after eating particular foods, yet find yourself eating them again soon after. You sometimes make excuses in your head about why you should eat something that you are craving. You have repeatedly tried to quit eating or setting rules (includes cheat meals/days) about certain foods, but been unsuccessful. You often hide your consumption of unhealthy foods from others. You feel unable to control your consumption of unhealthy foods, despite knowing that they are causing you physical harm (includes weight gain). authoritynutrition/how-to-overcome-food-addiction/
