Ever notice how you could never eat seven apples… but you could accidentally crush ten cookies without thinking?
That’s not a willpower problem. That’s your biology getting hijacked.
Modern food is engineered to be so insanely palatable that it completely overrides your natural hunger signals. Your body knows you’re done… but your brain says, “Keep going.”
And here’s the wild part:
These foods hit your dopamine so hard that your brain will let you eat right through a stomach ache.
You can literally ignore pain if the reward is high enough.
It’s not that you’re weak.
It’s that today’s food environment is built to overpower the signals your body used to rely on.
