"Thankfully I think the country is starting to come around to the notion that no amount of sodium reduction, fat-reduction, or carb-reduction will work if you continue to shovel it into your mouth by the gobful."
The things I usually want to shovel in my mouth are carbohydrates, and insulin spikes explain at least part of that. I eat far less when I'm trying to keep my insulin low.
Everyone knows you have to eat less to lose weight. The question is how. Some techniques are more successful than others.
- mberning 14y agoExactly. We are learning that certain things in the diet (sugar, grains) promote metabolic issues that fuel overconsumption. The ideal state of being, which everybody would like to enjoy, is being able to eat until you are full and then stop. That is not such a simple process from a hormonal standpoint.
- will_work4tears 14y agoI tend to take this outlook. Almost all forms of calorie restriction works. When I personally point out that a calorie is not a calorie it has everything to do with satiation, motivation and the psychology of what makes people over-eat. Limiting calories works. Keeping people doing that long enough to lose weight, and the rest of their lives to some degree (so no yo-you dieting) is the true challenge.
