Abstract
Obesity is characterized by surplus buildup of body lipids primarily in adipose tissue. Prevalence and incidence of obesity are ascending persistently at an alarming rate. Unusual eating behaviors like compulsion to eat (food addiction) and excessive consumption are the premier contributors to obesity. Both are under influence of a variety of stimuli, mainly being stress, emotions, dietary restrictions, sweetness, hyperpalatability, neural pathways, hormonal imbalance and genetics. This review summarizes the potential driving factors behind overeating and food addiction for understanding and exploring obesity linked novel agents and processes as an endeavor to advance treatment approaches. Obesity has been studied extensively throughout the world due to high incidence and association with several metabolic disorders including cardiovascular disorders. The food addition has considered one of potential key factor of obesity and excessive weight gain. Sedentary life style and availability of food also induce obesity.
