• Factors Promoting Positive Adaptation and Resilience during the Transition to College (2012, background): “Given that opioid release has a strong effect on reducing stress, it is possible that unhealthy eating may become an addictive response to stressful situations in an attempt to cope with stress (see Adam & Epel, 2007).”
• Weight stigma is stressful. A review of evidence for the Cyclic Obesity/Weight-Based Stigma model. (2014, background): “Eating is a common comfortseeking behavioral response to stress and negative emotion (Adam & Epel, 2007; Greeno & Wing, 1994) and is a behavior conserved across species (Dallman et al., 2003).”
• Sex and Gender Differences in Risk, Pathophysiology and Complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (2016, background): “Women appear more vulnerable to stress-related weight gain (249).”
• The Effects of Stress on Physical Activity and Exercise (2014, neutral): “While less pernicious, stress is associated with dietary relapse [131–133], binge eating [134], increased caffeine consumption [135] and television viewing [136, 137].”
• The psychology of emotion regulation: An integrative review (2009, background): “For instance, eating palatable food can stimulate the endogenous release of opioids (Adam & Epel, 2007; Morley & Levine, 1980).”
• Slim by Design: Redirecting the Accidental Drivers of Mindless Overeating (2014, background): “Animal studies have examined the effects of physical stressors – such as extended immersion in ice water – and focused on identifying its physiological pathways to subsequent behaviors (Adam & Epel 2007).”
• The Psychological Weight of Weight Stigma (2012, background): “Increased stress, in turn, affects the reward system that regulates eating (Adam & Epel, 2007) and can lead to cumulative wear and tear on the body that damages physical health when stress is experienced repeatedly (Adler & Snibbe, 2003).”
• High-fat diet-induced obesity in animal models (2010, background): “However, with a chronic exposure to stressor, the negative feedback does not work efficiently and thus induces an increase in food intake and body-weight gain through increased secretion of glucocorticoids which elevate appetite, food intake and fat storage especially in the abdomen((230,231,278)).”
