There are two phases of eating that precede absorption. Cephalic is the suggestion of food, such as seeing, smelling and hearing about food. The tasting phase is the post-ingestive and pre-absorptive phase which would be chewing and spitting. Both the cephalic and tasting phase trigger the release of insulin, which is not a good thing if you have ever been overweight and especially if you have lost weight. Also the resulting hyper-insulinemia is a precursor of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and eventually diabetes.
This may include an obsession of dieting, an addiction to working out, a fear of weight gain, or constant negative self-talk. Due to the body image issue aspect of the disorder, many CHSP individuals are young teens and young adults. The brains of teens and young adults are still developing. The brain is fully developed by about 25 years old, so the decision-making part of the brain frontal lobe is still not perfectly put together. Teens and young adults are still not fully considering consequences for their actions due to this, and they even consider this as a harmless diet.
Demi Lovato, former Disney star, has come out about suffering from eating disorders most of her teen years. The idea is appealing to begin with. Eat all that you want and love the taste of but not have the weight gain.
Once a person tries the chew and spit method, he or she may fall in love with the idea of eating a peanut butter cup but not have to put it into the calorie counter app. The person will want more and more, as the limits are endless. The feeling of hunger is always there, but the stomach never feels full.
This behavior turns into a compulsion and before you know it, it is always on your mind. Compulsive behavior makes you want more of it, and at higher stakes.
But what about how those foods affect your body otherwise? Eating an excessive amount of sugary and salty foods may cause cavities and will negatively affect your teeth. Get ready! This can cause stomach ulcers which may lead to bigger problems. Your body also is not getting the right amount of nutrients. This may make them irritated which will cause them to swell up. Another serious symptom can actually cause weight gain when you chew and spit. Another organ in your body, the pancreas, makes insulin.
When insulin pumps out with no sugar to be regulated, it does not do its job and then there is excess insulin in the body. This is exactly what happens when food is chewed but not ingested. The excess of insulin can affect you in multiple ways. The overproduction of insulin can cause diseases such as diabetes. A low metabolism rate will not burn calories as fast, thus making you gain weight. It can also cause a metabolic syndrome.
The only noted symptom of metabolic syndrome is a big waist, something that was being avoided by CHSP. CHSP can affect more than just your body. The symptoms go beyond physical ones. It can make you crave for food, especially the unhealthy kinds. As I mentioned before, the behavior is addictive; the food can be addictive too. It can affect your relationships with other people. Writing on her personal blog , molecular neuroscientist and science writer Shelly Fan explained one study that found chewing and spitting causes an increase in ghrelin, a hormone that promotes hunger.
Kimberley Quinlan, a licensed California-based therapist who specializes in co-existing eating and anxiety disorders, explained how to tell the difference. Most of the women I talked to "figured out" chewing and spitting on their own one got the idea from the MTV comedy show Girl Code and another from an episode of Sex and the City , because they erroneously assumed that it would allow them to taste and enjoy food without any "negative" consequences. And physical effects aren't uncommon, either.
Hannah said that CHSP sessions made her vision "go white" and her body feel weak and lightheaded. Other side effects reported by those I talked to include stomach and mouth ulcers, swelling of the jaw from the repeated chewing motion, and a build-up of gas.
Hannah, Frances, and L noticed negative social and psychological consequences, too. Each said they spend too much time and money on the habit. I used to be very outgoing and always wanted to go out, and now I am much more withdrawn, and would rather be alone so that I can chew and spit at times.
But the thing is, until we're able to figure out where CHSP falls on the diagnosis spectrum, there's not much we can do to help people who suffer from CHSP behavior.
Kinmond said. So they spit it out. No calories. You can have your cake and eat it too it seems. It seems that the brain needs something called volatiles in food, substances that the back of the nose can smell.
When we get a whiff of tasty food that is high in volatile compounds like chocolate and ice cream, the brain gets a hit of opioids like dopamine which make us feel good. Basically, chewing and spitting is like snorting cocaine. The downside is that you can become addicted to it and what seems like a bad habit becomes a compulsion. For another thing, we do take in lots of calories when we chew food and spit it out.
We can get a hefty dose of sugar and fat that clings to the tongue and unwittingly passes into our digestive system.
