The Side Effect of Healthy Food (Part 1)
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.
A PREVENTABLE DISEASE
The design of effective diets to lose weight is very important today given the current obesity epidemic. The World Health Organization estimates that 1600 million adults are overweight and 400 million will be obese.
This institution predicts that this serious problem will get worse, because it considers that by 2015 these figures will grow to 2,300 billion adults are overweight and 700 million will be obese.
To combat this disease, which brings multiple health problems, experts recommend changing the dietary guidelines for reducing the consumption of calories from fat, eating less sugar, saturated fats replace unsaturated fats, and eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and vegetables. Regular physical activity is also a fundamental factor to restore and maintain normal weight.
