Abstract

Summary The article presents the analyzes concerning the effect of the mechanisms related to the functioning of the reward system and self-regulation processes on the eating behavior.It is generally accepted that the current epidemic of obesity and overweight is caused by present –day “obesogenic “food environment.The cause, however, seems to lie more in the absence of appropriate self -regulation strategiesthat allow to manage eating behaviors in the right way.These strategies consist of appropriate eating standards and effective action control mechanisms.
