Food cravings and fad dieting practice in youth
Food craving is defined as an intensedesire to consume food that is not intended to satisfy hunger and it is very hard to resist that need. Cravings are positively associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) and get worst with dieting. Fad diets prevail as a weight control practice among youth. Fad diets alter eating behaviour, increase the risk for developing an eating disorder and many more health risks. Cravings are more common in women, who are particularly sensitive regarding their body image. An online observational study was conducted to analyse fad dieting practices and food cravings. The Food Cravings Questionnaire – State (FCQ-S)was used to analyse food cravings. 43% of participants said they are currently dieting, 80.5% said they tried at least two different restrictive diets while even 34.1% said they tried 10 or more fad diets. Personal dissatisfaction is the main reason behind the decision to go on a diet (64.5%). Women who are currently dieting are two times more likely to say that they have excess weight in comparison to women who are currently not dieting (86.9% vs 48.7%). Food cravings are higher among those currently dieting and among those with higher BMI. The results show clear need for interventions with youth to broaden their knowledge of the traps behind very restrictive fad diets.
