Mindless Eating - Influences on Food Consumption Quantities: Literature Review
Abstract
Introduction: Obesity and overweight have increased considerably and the high availability of processed foods is one of the main responsible. Thinking about the understanding of influences on eating behavior, the term Mindless eating or eating without thinking, represents the decisions regarding food that happens due to distraction the environment provides and involves the presence of environmental triggers such as: exposure, distraction, size of utensils and portions and variety. Objectives: To search for and analyze the scientific evidence available in the literature that addresses the impact of eating without thinking about adult food consumption. Methods: This is an integrative literature review, which was fetched in the Lilacs and PubMed databases. Results: 145 scientific articles were found only in the english literature. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of fifteen studies were selected for this review. Conclusion: there was a strong relationship between eating without thinking and a considerable increase in consumption, and doubling the amount consumed in an absent-minded state, just as it was possible to verify how unconsciously we are following the eating behaviors of other people, that is, the impact of eating without thinking goes beyond distraction, are acts of day to day that go unnoticed.
