It isn’t just that fats and carbohydrates are necessary to the body, experts say. Limiting them in processed food or packaging food in 100-calorie units ignores the role of satiation in portion control.
I would write a longer response to this but I'm on vacation and my phone. 1) sources please 2) calorie counting works 3) the problem is that the foods are processed, not that they are in 100-calorie packs. Eat as many veggies as you want. You'll be satiated. If you wanna eat as much cake as it takes Til you get satiated you ain't losin any weight. Veggies and fruits tend to be A LOT lower in calories than processed foods. This article is basically advocating a different, less math - sorry, I mean "addition heavy" - form of caloric restriction.
It's a newspaper article, so each source is described when he's first quoted. In this case they are:sources please
Amber Massey, a registered dietitian at Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth ... Rachel Huber, a registered dietitian at the Dallas-based Cooper Institute ... [and] Robin Plotkin, a nutritionist and chef.
Satiated and pacified are two separate things. People who eat to fill And emotional void have lost the ability to recognize when they are satiated, because their emotion is stronger than their hunger. I think the point is that we need to practice recognizing when we're hungry and when we've eaten enough. Our bodies will tell us, but only if we listen carefully.
