Great article on Forbes.com today about how a high-fat, high-simple carb diet can damage your brain and screw up the signals in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates metabolism.

But all is not lost, cronut burger fans. Melanie Haiken writes:

Switching to a healthy diet can heal the hypothalamic damage that’s playing havic with your hunger and satiety cues.

She also points to a study by the University of Liverpool that showed that omega-3 fatty acids can mitigate some of the negative effects of the sat fats and simple carbs.

Anyway, go read the article. If you're a nutrition geek, it's fascinating.
