Binge eating
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a severe, life-threatening, and treatable eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food (often very quickly and to the point of discomfort); a feeling of a loss of control during the binge; experiencing shame, distress or guilt afterwards; and not regularly using unhealthy compensatory measures (e.g., purging) to counter the binge eating. It is the most common eating disorder in the United States.
BED is one of the newest eating disorders formally recognized in the DSM-5. Before the most recent revision in 2013, BED was listed as a subtype of EDNOS (now referred to as OSFED). The change is important because some insurance companies will not cover eating disorder treatment without a DSM diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA
Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances.
A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating).
Eating much more rapidly than normal.
Eating until feeling uncomfortably full.
Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry.
Eating alone because of feeling embarrassed by how much one is eating.
Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty afterward.
WARNING SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF BINGE EATING DISORDER.
Evidence of binge eating, including disappearance of large amounts of food in short periods of time or lots of empty wrappers and containers indicating consumption of large amounts of food.

Disruption in normal eating behaviors, including eating throughout the day with no planned mealtimes; skipping meals or taking small portions of food at regular meals; engaging in sporadic fasting or repetitive dieting
Developing food rituals (e.g., eating only a particular food or food group [e.g., condiments], excessive chewing, and not allowing foods to touch).
Eating alone out of embarrassment at the quantity of food being eaten
Feelings of disgust, depression, or guilt after overeating
Fluctuations in weight
Feelings of low self-esteem

Food changing our appetite/mood
In my first research and findings I've managed to gather information on what effects food has on us. The way some of us see food changes depending on how we feel. Most of us may have change in appetite by the way our brains see the food. Sometimes you can has loss of appetite due to experiencing depression, stress and anger. Your brain struggles to think or feel the normal way about food because its being barred from the sad emotions your feeling, you can tend to feel lazy and fed up. The change in appetite isn't always bad, you can have strong feelings towards food that your appetite either becomes better or higher than usual. You can begin to feel happy while munching on your favourite foods. Your appetite can change while you eat healthy food such as fruit and veg. Its seen more on people who are trying to lose weight. While eating healthy and loosing weight you begin to feel your mood changing and starting to feel happy because your achieving something and feel like your reaching your goal. You begin to feel brighter and more active, so food does change the way we feel and how brains play a massive role on it.

Did That Brownie Do Its Job? Stress, Eating, and the Biobehavioral Effects of Comfort Food
Comfort eating is a widespread behavior, but does it actually work? The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the existing research on the potentially comforting effects of comfort food.
“Milky Way – Comfort in every bar.”
As suggested by food company slogans such as “Open happiness,” “Double your pleasure, double your fun,” and the given Milky Way slogan, the idea of food as a comforting substance is widespread. Another, albeit more somber, example is that death row prisoners get to choose their last meal before their execution. Research shows that psychological stressors reliably promotecomfort eating (Torres & Nowson, 2007), a behavior defined by increased consumption of high-fat, high-sugar, or high-calorie foods in response to negative emotion.
If comfort eating fails to comfort, this points to clear intervention targets: teaching individuals that food is an ineffective coping mechanism and providing alternative coping strategies. On the other hand, if comfort eating is in fact comforting, interventions may need to modify their existing approach of eradicating comfort eating altogether.
The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the existing research on the potentially comforting effects of comfort food. As this is an emerging area of research, there are many important questions still to be answered. We therefore provide a conceptual model of comfort eating, designed to be a hypothesis-generating tool to guide future research, and highlight what we consider to be the most exciting future directions.

Understanding the science of Eating and happiness
Why does sugar make us feel giddy and terrible? If we want to feel better, are carbs our friend or foe? Should we mainline bananas because they’re serotonin-rich? Ultimately, how does what we eat really impact our happiness?
Your Brain Is a Pleasure-Seeking Machine
In her book Hungry Brain, Dr. Laura Pawlak points out that our brains have been hardwired to focus on survival, with the “pleasure-seeking circuitry” of dopamine-producing neurons constantly primed for activation by any sign of food (smell, sight, memory).
We’re innately pleasure-seekers, and studies like this one have shown that certain foods—such as sugar, salt, and fat—are potent natural reward-drivers. This reaction occurs because they trigger the release of key “pleasure” neurotransmitters—such as dopamine—more than their healthy counterparts. Ever felt your mouth water at the sight of pizza, but not kale?
Eating healthfully not only keeps our bodies in better condition to handle illness, aging, and stress, but it can make us happier people in the long run. Research shows that the effects of eating well do not appear as immediately; in other words, they’re not the immediate surge of glee we get from downing a doughnut. It’s crucial to take the long view.

Why food makes us feel happy/sad?
My proposed idea is to focus on the topic of the moods we feel when it comes to food. I want to focus on how it effects peoples lifestyle and what the differences are, I also want to focus on the scientific side of the impulses our brain send when it comes to food (the chemical that's released). However, eating is the main daily lifestyle that everyone depends on which is hard because not everyone is the same.
Using my research I will look into why some people love and hate food. I will research into the different eating disorders and look into, comfort eating, depression, boredom and anorexia.
To help with my research I'm going to look into documentaries, YouTube videos, books and information on the internet.
