Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These experiments show that elevations in insulin produce increased hunger, heightened perceived pleasantness of sweet taste, and increased food intake. Finally, a study is described that considers how different insulin levels, produced by the type of food ingested, may affect subsequent food intake.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin, produced by the pancreas, maintains energy balance and is extremely sensitive to dietary sugar and carbohydrate consump-tion. When we have not eaten, low blood sugar and low insulin levels stimulate hunger. As we eat, insulin levels rise signaling the body that energy in the form of glucose is available.

While you’d think your body and your brain ought to be satisfied by the excess sugar in your bloodstream, it’s not that simple. Without enough insulin, your brain cannot make use of that sugar.
