No amount of vegetables makes up for a caloric surplus, though. What vegetables do generally quite well though is have low caloric density and generally high fiber which makes them very satiating without actually having many calories. You just physically will not feel like eating a bunch. Compare that to a bag of chips that basically is designed to make you want to crave another bite and overeat.
- wredue 3y agoVegetables fill your plate so you aren’t eating the junk instead. It’s not “eat veggies and junk”. It’s “eat veggies instead of junk”
- paulpauper 3y agoIt depends on the person i guess. Fiber tends to be pulverized and exits the stomach fast, leaving ppl hungry soon after, at least for me. Or it's not satiating, so either you still crave calorie dense food or get hungry soon after. It's called volume eating, and the results are mixed. Some complain that it messes up satiety signals. It if were that effective there would not need to be huge Reddit subs devoted to discussing it: ppl would just stuff-up on fruits and vegetables, feel satisfied, lose weight ,and that would be the end of it.
- jasfi 3y agoSure, I meant that as an example of healthy foods that aren't high in calories. But it can be difficult to stick to a diet without any of those feel good molecules like sugar.
