craving != hunger Addiction to carbs has the same mechanism as addiction to cocaine

  I agree craving != hunger. "The reason overweight individuals have a tough time is that they are VERY satieted by carb foods" Satiety has little to with cravings. It has to do with hunger. Regardless, I guess we are both in the "wrong" to assume whether particular individuals are truly satieted by carb foods or not. And I think we can both agree that it's best to avoid large amounts of simple carbs.

    it is best to avoid all simple carbs or may be even carbs at all. The reason people eat carbs is to hack the brain and get high on dopamines. I salivate when I think about a sandwich or a cookie or even a banana. I could eat them any time of day before. How can a fatso be hungry couple of hours after a meal? No way. The craving kicks in and he goes to a fridge and searches for a snack, and it won't be a broccoli
