Absolutely: Concentrated carbs release endorphins and dopamine. This sets the stage for withdrawal, abnormal learning, triggers and loss of control.

Sugar high: Berger et at. 2012 showed that frequent consumption of ice cream, independent of body fat, is related to affecting the brain areas of reward paralleling the tolerance observed in drug addiction. The pleasure chemical of brain is called dopamine. These finding suggest that excess sugar eating can affect this brain chemical. Self pleasure has to find a balnance so yes moderation is important.

In a way: People can develop what is very much like an addiction to certain foods, and carbs are notorious. You get through it like any other addict. You decide it's time to quit. You get rid of it all. You tough out the withdrawal symptoms even though it stinks. And once you're "sober", you don't go back.
