I believe just like cigarette’s Food is addictive. Especially for those of us who despise many of the so-called “good for you foods” like vegetables. Yes, I do eat that stuff. To eat it gags me. Unless it is saturated in some kind of cream cheese sauce I will not eat it.
Do you remember when you were most adults would say you need to eat that to become big and strong. It’s a lie. I got big and strong and I ate less vegetables than most kids today. I am a meat eater. However, I will eat most breads and starch based foods (like corn).
Yet here is the addiction part. I believe it is the Carbohydrates and some of the processed food chemicals that drive our appetites. Do you crave a big bowl of green beans? I don’t and hopefully never will. If you do then you are sick. lol
I am a former smoker and I must admit that quiting that habit was far easier totally changing my diet. I cannot understand why there is not a substitute for flower so I can have Pizza . That shows you how bad my withdrawal really is.
Without some level of weight loss diet help I think most of us will be up the creek. I know I would be. If it were not for my family staying on me about what not to eat then I know I would balloon back up to my high end weight.
Finally, I am still hoping for a pill to solve this whole weight loss thing.
