How we are hard-wired to think about food | Peter Attia & Stephan Guyenet

[@pwells2389]

Did the guest actually say anything regarding protein non-cravings? I thought that our brains grew due to a dietary change where we ate more fats and proteins so maybe our deep historic dietary drive was towards carbs (leaves etc) and the fat/protein desire was added afterwards? Which is ultimately why I'm fat from Hagen Dazs...

It would seem our ancestors that wanted to overindulge in meat would’ve therefore had to be engaged in much more hunting, that is, risky behavior. So they were less likely to propagate because they spent too much time trying acquire meat, and losing too many hunting events.

This is why I hunt doughnuts 🍩

My ancestors from Belgium were doughnut farmers.

@chiefenumclaw7960 i planted some sprinkles, should have a crop this summer. Hope they are cream filled

Many doctors are starting say sugar is a Addictive drug. Try and do without it for one week.

5:39 for me the baked potatoes are satiating

It's you Peter. I can and will eat ribeyes to excess. I do it regularly.

[@Zajcooo]

so after watching this I still don't know why I preferred 500g of beef with salt and pepper over a nice sandwich with a slice of ham, amazing fatty nut filled bread and veggies and mayo the other day

I would think the cheetah on the hunt that stops short likely runs out of the ability to produce ATP vs. does not feel the return on the investment to continue the pursuit. Often they are just seconds away from a good kill, but stop. If there was enough energy to finish off the antelope, they would be fed for days.

What about your body not being able to store protein? But it clearly can store A LOT of fat and carbs? How come noone mentioned that?

[@Jordanma36]

Perhaps our hunger for protein is better regulated because there is a stronger selective pressure against overindulging on the available stock, eg overhunting your environment or eating all your cattle at once is a poor strategy. Carbohydrate sources being more abundant with a lower calorie investment before harvest.

[@gaborszabo3110]

there's actually no 'hunger' for protein and fat, if you are hungry, you want to eat sugar (or carbs if you like); of course if you are not starving, your body will ask for essential proteins and fats, but it will never be really "craving"

[@Healthcollegium]

How is it incorrect if it’s your behavior. That’s why being data eccentric takes the individual out of the equation. Take the information but listen to your body.

[@davidbright8978]

But how quick and easy are carbs to digest vs meat?

[@andrewplus]

I can easily eat a few pounds of meat in one serving. I don’t, but it’s easily doable. I feel like meat is very light and hard to satiate on by itself.

[@jayzee316]

Ive always craved meat (or like peter said eat meat till I puke) over carbs/sweets, salty savory meat and seafood is the best lol

[@zentzu4003]

you're probably malnourished

[@rickguymon7702]

Wow. Ribeye blows his whole food reward theory out of the water. It gives you the ammino and fatty acids your body needs. Along with some fat for energy. Perhaps a perfect food? It does not overstimulate dopamine. It is carbs combined with fat that cause the most binge eating? What foods found in nature have carbs and fat? Mothers milk? Any others? Perhaps carbs and fat are really just comfort foods?

[@loganwolv3393]

Cacao too, it has carbs fats and proteins.

It seems the answer is pretty simple and obvious. What is the reason for hunger and eating? To get the fuel we need. Once we get that, why would we keep eating? Overeating comes from a combination of hyper palatable foods with little to no nutritional value plus emotional responses. Idle hands and convenience also contribute. People don't really overeat nutritionally dense foods, they overeat empty junk calories.

[@zentzu4003]

fat in a ribeye is not essential, meat also lacks alot of nutrients, the perfect food is probably potatoes and such, like sweet

When talking about craving, this conversation is missing a critical piece: gut mircobiota The bacteria in our gut is driving a huge part of it. The reason it feels like we're not in control is that we are not: our gut bacteria are

I wonder if it’s the SIBO, Candida Overgrowth or Parasites causing most of the issues.
