Recent research on overeating has revealed an unusual trend: respondents had to record what they ate and what they thought was the cause every time they felt they had overeaten. When nutrition experts reviewed their notes, they were shocked.

95% of overeating stemmed from emotional overeating, and 90% of overeating was vegetable-based.

The problem with overeating vegetables is that we eat enormous quantities of vegetables (led by broccoli and cauliflower), which in normal amounts don’t burden the body; but if we overdo it, the stomach fills up, and the body can’t digest such a quantity. In such cases, we call it overeating, and our body has no answer for how to react.

Such research is conducted continuously every 10 years, but the results in this millennium alone (the last 20 years) have changed significantly. The issue with vegetables is that they supposedly have no dietary restrictions, but this isn’t true. Sure, we don’t eat a bowl of broccoli every day, yet such cases have increased by 34% in the last decade compared to the previous study. Everything points to us living in a time of emotional crises. The numbers have jumped so much that we can’t ignore them.

And now the key question: are there foods that prevent overeating?

The answer is: NO.

Psychologists suggest including such food as often as possible in your daily diet. When you are not emotionally burdened, you can control your intake much more easily.
