Question

how a normal eating pattern could morph into a disordered eating pattern and how this could contribute to being overweight or obese?

Answer 1

A normal eating pattern can certainly morph into a disordered eating pattern by the influence of faulty eating preferences, mental breakdown and inappropriate diet. Majority of people under the influence of some disordered eating habits can develop eating disorders. These eating disorders include anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Focusing too much on body shape, size and weight can influence a person to bring up some dietary changes which then become uneven and disordered. Disordered eating can influence a person to change the normal eating patterns to unhealthy and uneven diet that can lead to some serious complications. However, stress and mental health breakdown also induce dietary changes in the patients with eating disorder. But eating disorders can also contribute to excessive eating which can lead to health deteriorations. People with eating disorders such as Bulimia nervosa tend to have lack of control over their diet and eating patterns. Some pf the people try to restrict their excessive diet in day time which can lead to binge-eating during the night time. It can contribute to greater fat and thus can lead to obesity and being overweight. Moreover, people suffering from binge-eating disorder also have lack of self-control over their eating patterns and they tend to eat fast and more. This can also lead to obesity in patients with these eating disorders.
