Japanese Diet Tips
The traditional Japanese diet is based on the consumption of rice, vegetables, fish, green tea, seaweed, soy and its derivatives. But reality is much more varied than this: you can eat up to 30 foods daily nutritional groups combined and in small quantities.
One thing that distinguishes the Japanese diet of Western diets is the food pyramid is that it is upside down (for us, of course). The food is placed on one level or another depending on the number of servings per day to take, regardless of amount.
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.”

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.
