You crave sugar because it provides instant energy, which lights up the dopamine center of your brain, reduces stress, charges the metabolism, and feels wonderful. 🍊🫐🍉🍯

"Sugar is like cocaine"

Babies naturally crave sugar.

Do babies naturally crave cocaine?

Does milk contain sugar or cocaine?

Every single mammal on earth consumes sugar from the day they are born, even our "carnivore" ancestors.

Everything in moderation has its place and time.

That is a fairly reliable heuristic, although I would say that Americans ideal of "moderate" fat intake is wrong: we consume far too much fat, especially from PUFA sources.

30-50g of good saturated fat is enough, maybe a little more if you have tons of muscle.

0.7-0.8g of protein per pound of goal bodyweight, and then gentle natty carbs for energy otherwise.

Carbs make me mentally ill, but you do you.
