Glycemic spikes makes me hungry after the spike. This indirectly caused my obesity, among other factors of course. It was a loop of eat something that spiked my glucose, be super hungry 40 minutes later on the drop, spike it again. Repeat. Eating in a manner that didn’t cause the spikes, or at least minimized them helped tremendously with my appetite and satiety - thus being able to more successfully manage CICO. It’s not the end-all, but it’s the number one thing I’ve found to optimize for in order to maintain a healthy calorie intake. If I’m extra careful in what I eat to avoid the spikes it’s actually somewhat difficult to eat enough to gain weight much less maintain it coupled with moderate exercise.
