What Is Visceral Eating?

Visceral eating is defined as short lived, hedonic relief created by the satisfaction of eating impulses. This kind of eating can also feel out of volitional control and impulse driven. It's more likely to occur when you are trying to eat less than your body needs or going long time between meals. So there's no moralising or judgement of any of this. But if you have listened recently to my solo episode on restriction then you understand what makes this kind of eating more likely.
