Blueberry---Very interesting. There's a new book out called, "French
Women Don't Get Fat". It talks about exactly what you've been
saying---that French women do NOT diet---they eat and ENJOY small
portions of everything they like, being careful to not have pasta AND
bread, or dessert AND potatoes. It also says that if today she eats rich
food, tomorrow will be a very light food day, to create balance.

This is clearly the most intelligent way to eat. For some reason....we
Americans just don't do it. We tend to eat TOO much EVERY day, eating
bread AND pasta AND dessert AND potatoes AND meat.....
often, at the same meal.

Of course you are right---pasta alone is not the single evil monster
that makes us fat. IF we could/would eat a small portion,we wouldn't
have gotten fat in the first place!

But, for whatever reason, many of us are addicted to carbs----and, like
an addiction to alcohol or cocaine, there is no such thing as a "small
portion" for us.

Do you want know...*WHY*? :-)
"Stress can cause chemical imbalances.
Cortisol, a stress hormone that is produced in the adrenal glands when you
are under pressure, triggers production of NPY, which causes carb cravings.
Eating the carb will lead to an increased production of serotonin, which has
a sedating effect on many people. So, in a sense, eating carbs will have a
medicating effect." Maybe it's this why...you have problem to stop eating
carb.

Doesn't matter who writes the article... all of them agree about "carb
increases the production of serotonin"! in few words *serotonin give
pleasure*. Serotonin is what controll you mood...

Americans tend to eat quickly and often almost silently---shovelling
food quickly into our mouths as if any moment, someone will take it
away. WHY?

If that is the case, why do SSRI's (selective serotonin re-ptake inhibitors)
such as Prozac and Paxil cause increase in appetite and weight gain? One
would think it would be the opposite.

They don't always. I had a diet doctor prescribe prozac for me as an
appetite supressant - and it worked, I wasn't hungry at all while taking
it. I stopped because I didn't like the effect on my personality.

Serotoninergic ...at first can reduce hungry, then they can increase it.
This substances not act in only one direction. but if you think about it,
sometimes you get fat when you stop to assume the serotoninergic. Then about
weight gain... you have to think that serotonin act on gut too, reducing the
peristalsis movement. I think it's a big argument, very complex, then my
little knowledge about English is not so good and I have many difficulties
to explain me. I don't want to be rude...but if you are interested about
this, you could search in internet.
Anyway it's
universally accepted that carb act on the serotonin! then scientis explain
the consequenses in different way...someone say that carb is bad, some one
say they are good (if you want lose weight you have to eat them). But
onestly I think they are both wrong ,(if you eat too much carb...you
definitly get
fat!) I think it's always better to be moderated in every thing you eat.
Nothing it's complitly bad...nothing it's complitly good...depend from the
amount. I eat carb (pane e pasta) from a life ...pratically every day, and I
have not this addiction for carb, evidently there's something different
between us. Even if I don't understand perfectly what. why you are addicted,
and I'm not? :-/
