Abstract in brief

  • Hunger increases negative emotions like tension, anger, fatigue, and confusion, and decreases positive feelings such as vitality and self-esteem in women with a healthy weight.
  • Women who were fasting (hungry) experienced more negative emotions and less positive emotions compared to those who ate breakfast (satiated).
  • The study suggests that food restriction can lead to a cycle of negative emotions and overeating, especially in women with subclinical eating disorder symptoms, which may impact mental health and self-esteem.]
