A new study has shown that obese people find it hard to resist high-calorie foods because “circulating glucose modulates neural stimulatory and inhibitory control over food motivation and this glucose-linked restraining influence is lost in obesity.” (The Journal of Clinical Investigation). That is, falling and rising blood sugar levels have different effects on obese people and people with normal BMI. It is not certain why it happens, but if you are overweight, you will find it physiologically harder to resist a high-fat or high-sugar snack, even if you have already eaten. The only way is to maintain blood sugar level by having regular meals and snacking on high-sugar fruit.
