The average person has Food Addiction

[Scuti]

People can do a lot of things, but take away their food and watch all hell break loose.

The average person could not complete a 24 hour fast right now.

Its not necessary to eat every few hours. Humans already have glycogen stores (pockets of energy in the liver/muscle) ready for use. However these energy stores are never tapped because most people eat every few hours, which decreases glucagon (hormone that uses glycogen for energy).

Somewhere along the way big corporations started marketing eating constantly as something that is necessary, and behind the scenes they loaded food with shyt to make our brain crave more, like a drug.

Everyone should at least try intermittent fasting and see the benefits for themselves. If for nothing else than to prove to theirself that they are or are not addicted to food

Be real with yourself, are you addicted to food?

You right but nikkas not gon listen. Most food is dope nowadays especially fast food. nikkas be utilizing food like a drug to regulate they emotions relieve stress, etc. Food has never been this widely available in any point in history. You can go many days without it. It’s water that nikkas need to be consuming the most tbh.

Yes it's def an American thing- with all the commercials, our portions, busy life with not cooking=fast food. Obesity in adults and kids is out of control and we aren't mobile- everything is drive thru in the South.

I'm in ridiculous shape and still recognize that i have a food addiction problem. I am a binge eater when it comes to chips and sweets. It's so bad that I never like eating junk food in public because it's always a spectacle with people looking at the irony of my body and what I'm eating, and I tend to pig out and I prefer to keep it my dirty little secret in private.
I've had to cut junk food completely out of my diet and was only successful for a bit more than a week as of lately.
I'm still trying to become better, but I realize that there is no moderation with me. I will earn extremely clean 100% for days, then have one meal where I binge completely. When I say binge, you'd be disgusted at the quantities I'm talking

There's nothing wrong with eating every few hours, and as far as the glycogen stores, if you cut carbs and calories your body will burn through them, but the second you eat carbs or even eat your BMR, your body gonna replenish those stores ASAP.

The real issue is we eat too many carbs and too much sodium with not enough physical activity.

Those sugary and salty snacks are literally dope in food form.

Some people can't hop on board with this philosophy, but that doesn't make it any less true

 

[therewillbeboogienights]

Hell yeah I have a food addiction.

Seriously tho I am either eating or wondering what I should eat next.

When the days get tedious, or dull ( which is common cuz i have depression) I can always count on food to be on my side


It is one of life's greatest pleasures tbh, some food and good conversation ( not compulsory), is the pinnacle of human enjoyment.
