The short-lived hedonic relief created by the satisfaction of eating impulses. Visceral eating pleasure is the by-product of relieving a visceral urge, often beyond the eaters’ volitional control. It can be summarized by its valence (pleasant or unpleasant), regardless of the rich aesthetic experience of eating (Cornil & Chandon, 2016).
