Abstract in brief

  • Emotional eating (EE) may contribute to weight regain in dieters and is linked to depression and obesity.
  • Causes of EE include high dietary restraint, poor awareness of internal signals, alexithymia, emotion dysregulation, and stress axis abnormalities.
  • Treatment should focus on improving emotion regulation skills rather than just calorie restriction, with tools like the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) supporting this approach.]
