Historically, manufactured food solved the hunger problem.
In modern times, the problem is overconsumption.
For many, food has become an emotional crutch.
Stress, anxiety, boredom, frustration, and even pleasure.

It's not the carbs, it's our relationship with them.
In the Q&A after his talk at the San Diego Symposium in August, Robert Cywes, MD, PhD - @carbaddictiondr - was asked how he manages food addiction once blood sugar and insulin are under control.
Why do some people continue to gain weight despite reducing intake and increasing activity?
@garytaubes has spent a quarter century investigating the science of obesity and nutrition.
He's the first print journalist to win the Science in Society Journalism Award three times.
He examined the limits of the energy-balance model and the evidence for hormonal regulation of fat storage.
Clinical relevance:
- a framework for explaining fat storage to patients
- the historical and evidentiary basis of current dietary guidance
- hunger as a physiological signal, not a test of willpower
For patients who have struggled despite following conventional advice, it offers a physiological perspective.
