I would guess based on what I've read the absorption rate of energy is too fast with highly processed food, while the opposite, eating fibrous plant material seems to be very good for you as you have a far slower energy intake, in relative terms.
- Gibbon1 7y agoWorking understanding at this point for me is highly processed food results in chronically high insulin levels. Insulin signals your cells to convert glucose to fat and store it. Insulin also inhibits leptin receptors which tell your brain to keep your pie hole closed. Likely your gastro-intestinal nervous system also has a good idea of how much reserves it has stored. Processed food confuses it.
- sebringj 7y agoSo I like your details... so in this case, the "intake" being too fast results in the body storing the excess energy as fat. I noticed that I feel more tired in general when I eat this kind of fast food crap. Side note on top of this I started skipping breakfast now so have a built in fasting period each day and my energy has gone way up in terms of being present.
