The Side Effect of Healthy Food (Part 2)
U.S. researchers conducted a series of experiments. In the first of them all the volunteers who were college students, tested the same protein bar.
However, the scientists said half of them that this bar was a healthy food, while the other half of participants heard the same food was “healthy.”
A while later, young people who ate the bar “healthy” were more hungry than the volunteers who ate this meal, thinking it was very rich.
A third group of volunteers did not eat the bar but the researchers asked them to inspect it. Later, it turned out that these students have the same hunger that participants who had taken the bar, thinking it was healthy.
Seeing these results, scientists concluded that eating thinking that generates healthy food is so hungry as not eating anything.
The second experiment followed the guidelines of the first, which means that the volunteers ate a piece of bread described as healthy and delicious. But to measure hunger, the scientists counted the number of pretzels that participants ate a little later. Those who had eaten the bread caught fewer considered delicious pretzels.
“One of the challenges of losing weight is that people tend to compensate for their overeating partial successes, and end up gaining more and more weight,” said Fishbach.

When the goal is to lose weight would be counterproductive given encouragement to believe that diet foods are healthy. It found that people who eat a plate “healthy” may later have more hunger than those who thought it was “delicious.”
When the goal is to lose weight would be counterproductive given encouragement to believe that diet foods are healthy. It found that people who eat a dish that they consider “healthy” may later have more hunger than those who enjoyed the same food thinking it was “delicious.”
To these conclusions came a team of researchers from the University of Chicago (United States), which analyzed the impact of perceptions of food on the feeling of hunger or satiety.
“When a person eats a healthy feel hungrier than if I had not eaten anything or had opted for a dish that is not associated with health,” said Ayelet Fishbach, lead author of the study.
Calories and Food
The usefulness of a food for the body is proportional to the amount of energy that can release when burned. Therefore, the energy value is measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise one degree temperature of one gram of water. As its value is very small, in physiology is taken as unit the kilocalorie. So when we talk about calories, we always refer to the kilocalorie, and when we do the caloric value of food, we will refer to its ability to produce or deliver energy.
The caloric value of food is different, so, one gram of sugar and one gram of protein developed to burn four calories, while one gram of fat produces nine calories, which is why we say that the caloric value of sugars and protein is four, while the fat is nine.
Vitamins and minerals, and trace elements, water and fiber, does not contribute calories.
At this point a question arises. We calculate, as we said, the utility of food as energy may be released, but while part of the diet is used to produce energy, another is used to rebuild the structures of the body (for serving, plastic , non-energy). It might seem that there is a contradiction between the first and the second claim, but in fact only apparent.
The body, to have need for some amount of daily energy to live, burning an appropriate proportion of substances that constitute the “sea” rich molecules that react with each other and are called intracellular fluid.
The Most Common Food for Diet
Unknowingly, you may be one of those people sensitized, whose quality of life will improve considerably, primarily foods known to harm him and then completely eliminate from your diet.
Among the most frequent clinical manifestations that have sensitized people highlight:
More likely to get fat. There are people who do not eat enough to be as fat as they are, others are very resistant to the schemes and slimming treatments. A considerable percentage of these people are visibly improving your obesity If you delete from your diet those foods which are sensitive, previously determined.
Gastrointestinal disorders. It stands to reason that the balance and condition of the “gastrointestinal tract” is largely linked to food. Today is unanimously accepted that certain gastrointestinal disorders are linked to susceptibility to certain foods or components thereof.
Among the most frequent clinical manifestations involving the digestive system, digestion are HEAVY, excessive gas, food intolerance, ie, the typical symptoms of “Irritable Colon” with a high tendency to chronicity. These disorders are so common that represent approximately 20% of patients attending the consultation of specialists tract.
