Obesity is on the list of things we can change if you want to get rid of a problem, you need to first look for the cause.
Rather than treat the symptoms, which can last a lifetime, getting to the root of it can eliminate the problem, its symptoms and help you to lead a healthier lifestyle. Obesity is on the list of things we can change if only we educate ourselves and are committed to changing our eating habits and our lives.
 
 
In my understanding there are three major causes of increased appetite:
Chemicals in our food ? like MSG (monosodium glutamate), which make our bodies react in unnatural ways. For example, MSG can cause everything from seizures and strokes, to allergies and hypoglycemia.
Change in food form ?  like flour, for example. Because of milling, absorbtion goes up dramatically, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar, and therefore a too-high insulin level, too-low blood sugar, causing food cravings. (By the way, the same applies to cookies!)
Food we are not created to eat ?  like milk or juices. Is obesity our own fault? I don?t think so! But I can hardly recall seeing any advertising promoting broccoli or fresh fish. However there are plenty of processed food commercials and promotions: juices, cookies etc?
The bottom line is to avoid processed food! Good stuff is in the periphery of a food market!
