Why You Eat Foods You Know are Bad for You [and How to Stop]

You are frustrated. You cannot figure out why you keep eating foods you know are bad for you. The short answer is – because it is challenging not to. When you eat these off-limit foods, your taste buds say, “yum,” and your brain (the nucleus accumbens) says, “more, please!” On top of that, modern-day convenience meals and snacks are manufactured to contain that magical combination of sugar, fat, and salt that keeps you coming back for more.

It can feel like the cards are stacked against you, but when you understand how certain foods trigger physiological changes that drive cravings, you can bypass the traps and clear the path to your goal.
