Positive messages are more likely to result in dietary change and compliance than fear-based messages. People like to hear about how they will benefit from a healthy diet instead of how a bad diet will hurt them. Binge eating does not result from a chemical imbalance in the brain; it results from negative emotions. Drugging people who feel bad is not the best idea; teaching people how to feel better is.
