“…The PFS is a 15-item measure questionnaire designed to assess differences in individuals’ hedonic hunger states (Ulker et al , 2021). Responses are measured on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from do not agree at all to strongly agree, with higher scores indicating greater psychological impact of the food-based environment.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine hedonic hunger at the end of the Ramadan fasting. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected by the Power of Food Scale (PFS), Food Craving Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T) and the Visual Analogue Scale. All data were taken twice at the beginning and end of Ramadan fasting. Findings A total number of 105 volunteers (43.8% female and 56.2% male) participated in a cross-sectional study. Ramadan fasting associated with PFS food tasted sub-factor, whereas no association was found on PFS aggregate and other PFS domain factors. Participants had higher PFS food tasted domain score at the end of the Ramadan fasting than before Ramadan fasting (p < 0.001). Total FCQ-T score as well as all sub-domains did not differ significantly. Females desired to consume carbonated beverages more, whereas in male (p = 0.04), ice cream was the most craved food. Originality/value The findings of this study provide data to the literature about the relation between Ramadan fasting and hedonic hunger. Ramadan fasting appears to have an influence on pleasure at first bite. The effect of Ramadan fasting on hedonic hunger should be tested with larger samples and controlled trials.

“…Eating behaviour is regulated by two different systems, homeostatic and hedonic. 1 In the homeostatic system, the priority in food intake is associated with the regulation of energy balance. 2 The energy balance is regulated by the homeostatic system through an increase in eating motivation after energy reserves are depleted.…”

“…2 The energy balance is regulated by the homeostatic system through an increase in eating motivation after energy reserves are depleted. 1 Although it may vary in various studies, the absence of food intake for a period of 8 h is defined as homeostatic hunger. 3 The hedonic system, on the contrary, refers to the consumption of delicious foods for pleasure without a physiological energy requirement.…”

“…3 Consumption of delicious and high-energy foods increases as a result of hedonic hunger and can lead to the person's energy intake beyond his/her daily needs and can lead to obesity as a result of the increase in body weight. 1,9 Hedonic hunger can lead to excessive food consumption, and, in addition to obesity, it may also contribute to diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea, certain types of cancer and fatty liver disease. 10 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is the excessive and abnormal accumulation of fat in the body that can adversely affect health.…”

IntroductionThis study aimed to determine the factors influencing the hedonic hunger status of overweight adults and to examine the relationship between hedonic hunger, self‐stigmatisation and self‐esteem in terms of weight.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted with 353 people living with obesity who applied to the Endocrine and Internal Medicine Clinic in Samsun, Turkey, between June and October 2022. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Power of Food Scale (PFS), Weight Self‐Stigmatisation Questionnaire (WSSQ) and Self‐Liking/Self‐Competence Scale (SLSC) through face‐to‐face survey method.ResultsAbout 53.3% of the participants were ≥45 years old, 80.5% were married and 69.1% had previously followed weight loss diet. It was found that those who were aged <45 years, single, those who perceived themselves as overweight, those who had used weight loss diets before and those whose waist‐hip ratio were normal had higher hedonic hunger scores (p < 0.05). A negative and significant correlation was found between PSF‐Tr general dimension scores and SLSC general dimension, whereas a significant and positive correlation was observed between PSF‐Tr general dimension scores and WSSQ general dimension (p < 0.05).ConclusionAs hedonic hunger increased in adults with overweight, self‐esteem decreased, and self‐stigmatisation in terms of weight increased. Effective interventions are needed to cope with the hedonic hunger that contributes to obesity and to prevent the stigma and low self‐esteem experienced by people living with obesity because of their excess weight.

Aim: To determine the hedonic hunger and desire to eat levels of shift workers and to evaluate the relationship of these conditions with obesity markers in order to understand the possible effects of working in the shift system on obesity risk. Method: The study was carried out with 226 health care professionals, aged between 19-64 years and who had been under the same working conditions for at least 6 months. In face-to-face interviews, the participants’ descriptive features (age, gender, marital status, and educational status) were questioned, anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, waist circumference) were taken, and body mass index was calculated. In order to determine hedonic hunger conditions, the Power of Food Scale was administered, and to determine the desire to eat levels, the Food Cravings Questionnaire was used. Results: In the study, shift workers were found to have higher scores on subscales of possibility of lack of eating control and feelings that can be experienced before or during meals compared to those working during the day (p<0.05). In addition, there was a low, positive correlation between body mass index values, one of the obesity markers, and Power of Food Scale total score and food accessibility and food availability subscale score of individuals working in shifts and moderate positive correlations with Food Cravings Questionnaire sub-dimensions of intention and planning, possibility of lack of eating control and experimental guilt. Again, it was observed that there was a moderate positive correlation between waist-height ratios and food accessibility and experiential guilt scores of the individuals in this group (p<0.05). When the multiple regression analysis coefficient results of the individuals working in shifts were examined, it was observed that the waist-height ratio levels of the individuals significantly affected the Power of Food Scale scale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: The shift work system may have an effect on obesity with developing hedonic hunger and increased desire to eat.
