Why are you sometimes able to eat a lot of candy or something sweet even though you cannot eat anymore of something fatty or savory, as if you have a second stomach for sweet foods?
In: Biology
I think it has something to do with the following – which is something I was reading about on a study into obesity awhile back:
Hard to believe, but from the study they realised the body ‘knows’ when you’ve ate too much fat and too much sugar, the brain just tells you you’ve had enough of each by making you feel sick or full.
The dangerous thing is when you eat foods that combine the both of then (a mixture of both fat and sugar). Mostly deserts. e.g Ice Cream and Cakes.
When you eat both with the recipe ingredients added as 50/50, the brain is unable to tell when you’ve had too much; they sort hinder the brains ability to work out if it’s full or not. That’s why you can keep eating and eating ice cream ( which usually is 50/50 ) and not really get too sick.
When the brain is hindered in this way, it’s quite a dangerous thing as it’s been making us ‘fat people’.
Edit: just found someone asking the same thing as you and they’ve also refereed to the same study. Might give you further reading:
