I love Science Blog, they have some of the most interesting info.

Your brain on Krispy Kremes | Science Blog

They did an experiment with Krispy Kreme doughnuts. People went in and ate until stuffed, then they were shown pictures of the doughnuts, and the brain didn't show any interest.

They fasted, and were shown the pictures, and the brain showed a lot of interest!

This tells me that we need to be careful to not allow ourselves to get too hungry when we might be exposed to carby foods, that our brains tell us that we need that food. If we are in a situation where we might be tempted by high carb foods, it might be best to have a bit of protein in our system so that our brains don't register a need for that food.

I just had a 2 day training, and made sure I had breakfast, eggs & sausage, each morning. When they rolled in with the cookies and fruit, I had no desire to nibble. Had I skipped breakfast, I'd probably have had a tough time resisting. (I would have resisted, but it would have been a struggle!)
