If you can’t control yourself around cakes and cookies, University of Toronto researchers think they know why.
In a new study, people with a genetic quirk drank 44% more sugary drinks, ate 34% more sweets, and consumed 100 to 200 more calories a day from the extra sugar.
Not surprisingly, these people weighed more and had bigger waists. The gene variation may make it hard for the body to sense blood-sugar changes—so the brain doesn’t get the signal to stop eating.
A good remedy? None, so far. But try carefully counting your overall calories so you have room for an occasional slice of heaven.

Very interesting.
Could you post a link to the study?
Remedy – self control. Everyone is looking for a quick fix. A pill would not help..people would still need to ‘re-train’ their brains.
This is interesting.

Hi everone! I am so excited about this site. It has so many resources. I used to be overweight and unhealthy until I decided to take charge of my life and my health. Since then I have lost 60lbs and am well on my way to my goal.I have so much more energy and wish I would have had the motivation sooner.My trainer stuck with me through it all and she was absolutely amazing. Now I just use her for tune ups here and there when I need it. I am heading to the doctor today to see if I can stop my diabetes meds. I am hoping for the best. Look forward to getting to know everyone.
Thanks
