Root Cause to overeating

1. Direct Cause
Conscious Eating - you are in control how much you want to eat (not a major factor in
overeating)

2. Indirect Cause
Unconscious Eating due to External Factors a.k.a. A.B.C factors:
A: Accesibility - M'sia is a food haven
B: Big Portion Size - Heard off this: Woah! this is a lot and it is so cheap. Coffee Bean-the large ice blended could easily up to 500 kcal. I worked with them before. No jokes.
