- steve_adams_86 3y ago> Some studies show that when we eat whole foods our bodies generally maintain healthy weights I wonder if it's because it's harder (though not impossible) to eat too much of a well-balanced, whole-food diet.
- simmerup 3y agoIt’s true, but why is it harder? Why is 500g of frozen pizza made up of modified starches and sugary sauce easier to eat and less filling than 500g of sourdough pizza of whole grains and real cheese/tomato Maybe because our body is better equipped to register the calorie intake from the real food
- thriftwy 3y agoWhole grain contains fiber which take up space, whereas starch and sugar is raw calories. Tomato also contains fiber.
- simmerup 3y agoThe studies done added fibre to the UPF in similar quantities to what would be in lightly processed food, and people still consumed more UPF
- steve_adams_86 3y agoDo you know if these studies ensure the UPF and whole foods have the same amount of sugar, salt, and fat?
