Yes I am going to hate on Pop Tart...

Can I lose weight eating a butt load of carbs? Many of you argue yes...and it might be true...but if people ever want to manage their weight they need to control their food addictions and those highly processed carbs are at the top of the list for causing food addictions....

Here are some quotes from an article posted today on Yahoo.
http://news.yahoo.com/milk-shakes-teach-us-food-addiction-110022159.html

"After the men consumed the milk shake with the higher glycemic index, their blood sugar levels surged as expected, then crashed a few hours later, leaving them feeling hungry. But with the brain scans, Ludwig was able to show that these shakes activated the nucleus accumbens, which is also triggered by addictive drugs and behaviors like gambling. Previous work also hinted at a connection between food and dependence; a 2012 study found that obese people lose their sensitivity to leptin, a hormone that is released by fat cells in the body and regulates feelings of hunger and fullness. Leptin may also play a role in substance addictions by modifying the body’s reward responses to things like alcohol or cocaine."

and the last paragraph

"If there are biological factors at work, there may be ways to intervene to make dieting, and weight loss, easier. Eating fewer foods with high glycemic loads like white bread, for example, may keep surges of blood sugar to a minimum, which in turn could modulate the activity of the brain’s reward system and lessen cravings. Ludwig says that more research is needed to better understand the complex way that the brain sees food; even if food isn’t addictive in exactly the same way that drugs of abuse are, exposing the connections between eating and satisfaction could lead to more effective ways of managing, or even avoiding, the lure of our favorite foods"

Yeah I am gonna hate on the pop tarts and other junk carbs, and push macro targets because I want less food cravings and more control over how I feel when I eat so I can keep myself in the calorie deficit I need to lose weight...

Yep haters gonna hate...for good reason.
