Carbohydrate Intolerance
Over time, because of excess carbohydrates in the diet, we develop carbohydrate intolerance; that involves both insulin resistance and leptin subservience. Our homeostatic control mechanism breaks down, and we start to develop metabolic changes that are unhealthy.
This is the source of metabolic (Reaven) syndrome, a problem most of us are developing.

Choose strategically when to eat carbohydrates to keep insulin "off." - Changing what you eat for breakfast is a easy first response.
