Eating a slice of white bread, for example, will start breaking down as soon as it hits your tongue, releasing too much insulin into your bloodstream too quickly. You'll end up getting a blood sugar spike that will actually make you hungrier than you were before you ate it.

The South Beach Diet has a good explanation of what highly processed carbohydrates do to our bloodstream. Fix your insulin levels & the willpower won't be a problem.
Looking at your body, it sure seems like you know what you are talking about. Great, Thanks Kcat.
