Sugar is addicting. I always hated it, then I got into pastries and everything went wrong.
Yes, sugar addiction is a real thing. It IS the reason why Americans are so fat.
One word: Keto.

Sugar is not addicting. No p300 phenomena associated with food. You just have a fucked up metabolism from eating sugar when your glycogen stores are full.
Translation: sugar is for athletes PWO.

No, it really is a thing. There's an actual study on this, that shows the human brain reacts to sugar the same way it does to heroin and cocaine.
>>37841546
No, it doesn't. The study confused the body's natural reward system with exogenous components. Stop being a fucking moron. Cocaine and heroin are reward mimmetics. Sugar is a reward activator. But so is water when you're thirsty.

What part of "no p300 (addiction) phenomena" did you not understand?
Does sugar cross the bbb?

I had no problem with cutting on sugar. Make sure you get enough complex carbs for your energy.
Oats are godly
