insulin resistance

“When you eat, special receptors in your body signal when you’ve had enough. But not all foods affect these receptors the same way. Whole, natural foods trigger a stronger sense of fullness, while processed foods often bypass these signals, leaving you hungry for more even after eating plenty.”

The modern understanding of food rewards has become dangerously distorted. What we often justify as “treating ourselves” or “deserving a reward” is actually a sophisticated biological deception that hijacks our brain’s ancient survival mechanisms. This phenomenon, rooted in insulin dysfunction and neurochemical manipulation, transforms what should be occasional indulgences into patterns of compulsive consumption that masquerade as self-care.

“Empty calories aren’t just about food that lacks nutrition — they play tricks on your brain. The science shows that these foods are designed to keep you eating more, even when your body doesn’t need it. It’s not just overeating; it’s biology working against you.”

“دعني أوضح أمراً: إذا وجدت نفسك عاجزاً عن مقاومة الأطعمة المُصنَّعة، فالمشكلة ليست ضعفاً فيك ولا نقصاً في إرادتك؛ بل إن السبب الحقيقي يكمن في الطريقة التي خُطِّط بها دماغك بيولوجياً.”
