Good news for the foodies. If you are a lover of food do not bother about gaining weight by eating your favorite delicacies. Let the saliva flow out from mouth and enjoy the taste of your favorite dishes.
A new study reveals that eating too much is not adding more and more weight to one’s figure. Obese women on a low-fat diet lose weight, but they lose more if they eat more low-calorie-density fruits, veggies, and soups.
The study comes from a yearlong research based on the principles of the Volumetrics diet proposed by Penn State University researcher Barbara J. Rolls. The study appears in the June issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The diet cuts way back on fats, which carry more calories than any other food. A diet rich of water, low-density foods such as fruits, vegetables and soups promote health and cut weight.
The research was conducted on 97 obese women whose average weight was about 200 pounds. Half the women went on a low-fat diet, while the other half were put on the same low-fat diet comprising of water-rich fruits, vegetables, soups. And each was assigned to a dietitian. They were also resorted to physical exercise and made to walk 10,000 steps a day.
They were also allocated different tasks. The women received behavior therapy stressing self-assessment, objective setting, social-support networks, dealing with emotional eating, overcoming obstacles, managing stress and the environment, problem solving, and handling setbacks.
All the women lost weight after the end of the task. Those on the low-fat diet lost an average of 14 pounds, while those on the low fat, low-density diet lost 17.5 pounds even though they ate 25% more food by weight.
After the study it is established that eating a diet low in calorie density allows people to eat satisfying portions of food. This might result in decreased feelings of hunger and deprivation while reducing calories.
Are you one struggling to lose weight? Assign to the principles of Volumetrics, and see the difference. Eat water rich diet, because water dissolves extra fat in the body. And if there is no fat, there wont be any obesity.
