The body is trained to crave sugar, fat, carbs, salt because it needs energy and other components to thrive. Man is still evolved toward scarcity mentality where demand for such nutritional elements was way higher than what was typically available… from times of cavemen to 1800’s (and even still in some parts of world). It’s only in the past 100 years, in western society, where we have basically unlimited access to sugar, fat, carbs but our evolution hasn’t had time to adapt.
