- Embed this noticeWhen I eat an egg dish, I always enjoy it, and I always eat all of it, and I never immediately want more. I eat the omelette, say "that was good", and move on. There's lots of food like this actually. The normal experience of enjoying food is that it satiates your hunger and you move on.
But there are certain food items that, after I finish eating one, I will immediately seek out another. One slice of pizza? How about an entire pizza? There are snacks like this. And what I've done with such food, for most of my life, is conclude: well, obviously I like that food item, so I should keep buying it and eating it. I would eat food like this, not to satiation, but to the pain of overeating. I got fat off of such food.
So this is a very belated realization, but I think that conclusion is wrong. The conclusion I should've reached is: this food is non-satiating. It's bad food! That impulse to immediately eat another one is not a positive sign, but a red flag for addictive slop.
