Abstract
Restrained eaters show a paradoxical alimentary pattern: while usually restricts food consumption, under certain situation they overeat. This patter has been explained as a result of cognitive strategy to control stressful situation. The affective neuroscience perspective, developed by Silva, suggests that this observation occurs in affective vulnerable individuals. Specifically, subject with increased right frontal activity are prone to develop those patter of emotional control. In this paper, it is presented a theoretical progress from this scientific point of view. Under a psychobiological approach, I propose that stress sensitivity it is a key aspect of the restraint eaters' physiology that could be understand as a biological predisposition to develop difficulties in emotion regulation.
