Overeating can range from the occasional holiday over-indulgence to a routine eating habit. Usually people over-eat for different reasons: having been taught to always “clean your plate”, not to have leftovers, finishing your children’s plates, ordering large portions in restaurants because they may be “more economical”, and not listening to your body tell you when you are full. There are physiological consequences to overeating like digestive and metabolic disorders which require medical intervention.
