Industrial food products are engineered specifically to make people feel good in the short-term. If these are in your repertoire of eligible foods, I don't think your strategy is particularly good.
- pixl97 9y agoYea, food engineering is particularly problematic. If you are going to scientifically remove all the fiber from a food item, then boost its calorie content even higher with added sugars and oils, don't be surprised when people gain weight. Fiber is a huge hunger modifier. It's hard to overeat 'bulky' lower calorie foods. The fiber takes longer to digest, and doesn't complete the digestion process until the small intestine giving the feeling of fullness longer than something made out of simple carbohydrates. But hey, letting Conagra sell bright colored sugar at the lowest subsidized possible price is the American way!
