Listen, if you’re craving sugar to the point where it feels like a “drug addiction” (and even drug addiction is complex & widely misunderstood), then you’re too hungry. You’re too hungry!
The pleasurability of sugar and the reward that sugar creates in the brain is much more pronounced in what the literature calls “restrained eaters” than it is in intuitive eaters. Sugar is usually pleasurable for most people, but in non-restrained eaters its appeal will be highest at our hungriest and decrease significantly with satiety. Restrictive eaters don’t experience satiety, because they constantly maintain an energy deficit, and that’s why sugar feels like a “drug.” Dietary sugar is fast, efficient energy for a deprived body, and our smart bodies drive us to it powerfully for that reason, to rectify the energy deficit.
Dietary sugar is great. It’s not a threat. It doesn’t cause disease. It’s not a drug. It’s a healthy part of a pleasurable diet. But if it feels to you like you’re completely out of control around it because of the intensity of its pleasurability, you need to be eating more calories, period.
Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.
So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.
My roommate was in an out of the ER for about 2 weeks and is still on bedrest. He’s recovering from serious disability complications. I was also violently sick for about 2 days and I’m still recovering. I had a job lined up before having to care for him 24/7, and I am going to be trying to get that going again in the next few days, but right now we need help. We currently wouldn’t be scraping by withing help from his abusive family, things are dire.
We need help to get his feeding tube formula which is over $100 for a 3 day supply, and his meds. We will also need help with next week’s rent, and solid food. I will do art for anyone who gives $50+ just contact me at my art blog @theartistrans
