Eg : 裕华国货 + 牛车水 street food — when I visit there after half a year, 99% of the attractive foods are starchy.  I think my upbringing in China is a huge influence, where starch is the main source of energy — 主食.

Below is a half-ranked list, based on years of observations of my “system”,

• starch alone is addictive and “slippery” — can slide down into binge over 500 calories. I can eat 10 standard slices of wheat bread without realizing the calorie load (about 800 calories) .. I used to think wheat bread was slimming diet given the low-fat low-sugar high fiber. Completely ignorant and ill-informed.
• fat alone is addictive but highly visible therefore not slippery like starch — cheese, nuts, avocado, butter, 猪油渣， 炸虾片，
• In contrast, sugar alone never gets me addicted or leads to binge. consider candies, sweet fruits…
  • all the hundreds of sugary drinks available in stores and everywhere … never got me hooked 🙂
• !  sugar + starch — Singapore deserts; red bean paste; roasted sweat potato
• !! sugar + fat (oily, fried, or milk-based) is dangerous — chocolates, ice cream, milkshake
• !!!  starch + fat (with or without sugar) is THE ultimate killer — cakes, scone,potato salad, pizza, tuna subway

(Unlike other dieters, I am more relaxed about sugar than starch.)
