Carbs carbs carbs... Oh boy, don't we love carbs? Carbs are good for us, however, in today's age, carbs are being refined, modified, and contain additives and an excessive amount of sugar & salt that disrupts our brain, which tricks our brain into thinking we're not full, etc; Which leads to obesity and health issues.
Carbs are the body's primary source of energy and the brain's preferred energy source. Carbs are broken down by the body into glucose – a type of sugar. Glucose is used as fuel by your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Since today's food is mostly refined, and processed, carbs cause a spike in insulin levels and insulin makes you hungry, carbs cause you to eat more food, which causes insulin levels to spike again, which causes fat growth as well as more hunger, which causes you to eat more, and so on and so forth. It's a vicious cycle of insulin-induced fatness. This is caused by eating poor nutritious junk-related carb foods.
Most junk foods are carb related. Typically, people overconsume/excessively consume these junky carb foods. Thus leads to obesity & health issues such as diabetes, etc. Since junky carb foods affect your brain, tricking it into thinking you're not full, people end up indulging in these junk foods which will cause them to gain weight.
Junk foods are found to be associated with obesity due to their high energy content and the amount of fat present or free sugar, chemical additives, and sodium with the presence of a low amount of micronutrients and fiber.
In addition, many people are inactive. Sedentary. People are utilizing their calories in a purposeful manner. So when you end up indulging or overeating, that'll result in weight gain, due to being inactive.
