Why are many people constantly hungry despite eating large amounts of food?
Food processing removes the healthy essential oils, commonly called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), from our foods in order to increase the shelf life. As a result of food processing, people have become deficient in essential life-supporting EFAs. Our bodies cannot make EFAs – they must come from the foods we eat. When the body becomes deficient in EFAs, it naturally craves carbohydrates. The body gives the hunger signal in effort to obtain EFAs. When we eat more processed carbohydrates the body still doesn’t get the EFAs we need, thus we become hungry again and the cycle continues. Eat, crave…, Eat, crave…all day long. This is why many people are constantly hungry, despite eating large amounts of food. When the EFAs are restored in the system, the cravings for carbohydrates are eliminated and you will desire beneficial foods containing protein and natural fats.
