Shouldn’t your body just give you the stop signal and make you not overeat? Then why do people get fat at all?

Don’t forget the intestinal microbiota exists and interacts directly with the vagus nerve.

From National Library of Medicine: ***”Microbiota-gut-brain axis: relationships among the vagus nerve, gut microbiota, obesity, and diabetes”***

“Because of its enteroendocrine cell-mediated interaction with the gut microbiota, the vagus nerve may provide a potential pathway through which **gut microorganisms influence host feeding behavior and metabolic control of physiological and pathological conditions**.”

I find it fascinating.
