Abstract
The relationship between mental health, eating behavior, and weight loss is a critical area of research that underscores the interdependence of psychological and physiological processes in health outcomes. Mental health conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety influence food choices and eating patterns, often leading to maladaptive behaviors like emotional eating and binge eating, which hinder sustainable weight loss. Conversely, weight stigma and social pressures exacerbate psychological distress, reinforcing unhealthy eating cycles. Evidence indicates that integrating psychological interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, with dietary and physical activity strategies enhances adherence and long-term success in weight management. This holistic perspective emphasizes the necessity of addressing mental health as a central component of weight loss interventions to achieve not only physical health benefits but also improved psychological well-being and resilience.
