title: Why disrupt homeostasis? Reasons given for not eating when hungry and not stopping when full.
abstract: Disrupting homeostasis has negative health outcomes, yet disruption routinely occurs with weight homeostasis. This cross-sectional study of nurses found a majority overriding hunger and fullness cues due to situational, dieting, and emotional reasons. Because either splurging or starving can lead to excess weight, preventing homeostasis disruption through intuitive eating is healthier and more holistic.
