Most people admit to having cravings for some types of food or liking one type of food so much that they eat it often. Food addiction is different than just cravings or eating your favorite food every week.
Some of the signs of food addiction are eating more than intended, past the point of fullness and satisfaction. Compulsive overeating is a type of addiction where a person derives great pleasure of eating and has lost their control over their behavior to limit themselves even when they are harming themselves.
