We could summarize this better as eating higher quality foods with lower calorie densities and better satiating effects will lead to a reduction in calories consumed. This could be easier on the human psyche than just calorie counting.
After all, you can still end up feeling eternally hungry if 100% of your diet was high fructose corn syrup liquids.
Unfortunately this article and study will likely be misconstrued as calories not mattering to weight loss. This is a common misconception or delusion.
- closetohome 9y agoI feel like the debate here is mostly between quantifiable nutritional stuff (like CICO), and unquantifiable bits of human psychology like "satiation." The unquantifiable stuff certainly affects the final outcome, but it's often presented with the same certainty and blanket application as biology.
- kevin_b_er 9y agoI don't think its quite quantifiable. The snack food industry knows this too. They spend lots of money figuring out how to make foods addicting. The human psychology to eat a calorie deficit and not feel constantly hungry is sure as studiable as junk food addiction. Sure it isn't quite as simple as how much energy burning food items gives off, but it shouldn't be discounted.
