Abstract: Poor nutrition and lack of exercise are the primary risk factors that are studied in relationship to weight gain and obesity. Addictive behaviors, such as food craving and overeating may, however, represent the underlying reason for poor food choices and could be an important determinant of obesity.

While many investigators concur that food addiction is associated with development of obesity in certain individuals [2], not all obese individuals gain weight because they are addicted to food.
