I've noticed that high glycemic foods are not as satiating as other foods. Over the last 5 years I've had to retrain my brain to eat them in controlled portions, and to stay active in order to metabolize them. While reading about Neolithic archaeology it's difficult for me to be dismissive of starchy foods and sugars as food because modern humans have eaten them successfully for 500+ generations. It's only in the last 2-3 3-4 generations that they have been available in superabundance for wealthy cultures.
