What do you mean by "vulnerable?" Do you mean that our bodies are
vulnerable to becoming overweight if we eat too many carbohydrates? Well,
it's pretty simple. Carbohydrates are quick energy, we evolved craving
sugar because it gave us energy. We also evolved craving fat, because it
is calorie dense, packed with more energy for the volume than other foods.
The problem comes from the fact that most of us don't _need_ as much energy
as our ancient ancestors, because of our more sedentary lifestyles, but our
tastebuds haven't caught up with the technological advances that enable us
to live our easier lives.

This world has so much food energy sources in the form of
carbohydrate. Why did evolution make our body so vulnerable to
carbohydrate? The theory underlying those low-carb diets doesn't seem
to make much sense.

Too many carbs and not enough fat in your diet?

What make one feel hungry? Is it low glucose alone? Are somethings
else also involved?
