You see where this is going, yes?Well, hunger is, as far as I know, caused by a lack of leptin, rather than by too much insulin.
Neither your simplistic view that anything as complex as hunger would be caused by any single factor nor your inability to do the most basic research is anybody's fault but your own. Take the 10 seconds that are needed to type "insulin hunger" into Google and educate yourself.

They don't. There is no single vegetarian diet and most are significantly lower in carbs than average, especially simple sugars.
Quote:And even if that were true, what is the alternative? A low-carbohydrate diet is linked to kidney problems in humans, so it is not really an option.
No, exceptionally high protein diets are linked to kidney problems. High protein is not the same as low carb. Stop conflating them.

Research MD in obesity = expert and she didn't say much that hadn't been known for decades. That diets high in carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, are a great way to put on weight and develop Type II diabetes was well documented back when the year started with a 19.

No? Whatever does your body do with all that protein that you just stuffed your face with?
