To think there's some foods deliberately engineered to be slightly addictive

[LaurieFairyCake]

Chocolate being the obvious one

Tiger bread definitely - have just gobbled up a giant piece of its salty mouthfeely goodness

I stopped buying pringles. I didnt like that not only do you just want mre and more, but also that I had to eat a lot of them before I started feeling any less hungry.

yes tiger bead what do they put in it i can demolish a loaf myself

seabrooks beef crisps

roast potatoes

anything dippy and garlicky

Yep, Pringles.

Even when I am feeling slightly queasy, I still keep on reaching into that fucking tube.

^ This exactly.

Ofcourse. Corn syrup is used in nearly everything in place of sugar and switches off the hormone in the brain that tells you to stop eating when you're full up.

I'm trying to overhaul my diet and realising how much crap is added to food. It's so time consuming to make everything from scratch but it's a habit I'm trying to form.

Salty Pretzels with a large bottle glass of ice cold coke followed by haribo or fruitella

Pringles don't do it for me either, I'm happy to eat one or two but not loads at a time.

I'm addicted to Coca Cola though.

Wine hic!
Super noodles
Could eat them all day every day
Nobby nuts

M&S Salt and Black Pepper Cashews. It's impossible to stop nibbling them

I'm dieting at the moment, and have found a low calorie addiction, sandwich gherkins, slimey and vinegary, straight from the jar, yum

BBQ Pringles and Cadbury Chocolate Fingers - both are more addictive than crack

Lindor chocolate balls. I have to eat the whole box when I buy them.

the dust at the bottom of dry roastedpeanuts what is that stuff it is the best bit

Salted pistachio nuts are DD1 and me's downfall.

Sorry
umami/savouriness is the problem

M&S Cranberry and pecan bread. With Brie. Definitely addictive.

Iced Madeira Cake.....

i love nobbys chilli nuts (snigger)

Yanbu wheat and corn (maize) derivatives are added to virtually every processed food, and they make you eat more (scientifically demonstrated in many studies).

Food manufacturers (the very term food manufacture is scary! Food should be GROWN) are many things, but they are not stupid. They want you to eat more, do you buy more.

Ingredients to look out for include maltodextrin, food starch, corn starch, corn syrup, fructose-glucose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, modified starch or corn flour. These, and many other names for the same things are all highly processed carbohydrates and play hell with your blood sugar and metabolism, with the "bonus" of adding lots of processed grain proteins too (gluten and others).

All of these affect your appetite by various mechanisms... "Wheatbelly" makes for very interesting reading on this topic (there is a book, but the blog is free).

For the food industry, profit, not health is the bottom line .

If I start eating a big bag of tortilla chips with the 4-pack of dips (you know the ones with garlic and onion, salsa, cheese), I literally cannot stop till they have all gone

Marmite on seeded toasted bread
Frazzels

Oh yes I can eat a whole packet of Cadburys chocolate fingers no problem
