BBC: How to Be Slim
Here are some truths about food:
#1 - If you're overweight, you eat too much.
- Your intake of calories exceeds your burning of calories.
- And the excess calories are stored in your body as fat.
#2 - Protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
- Scientific studies have proven that protein is more satiating than carbohydrates and fats (watch the experiment at 17:00).
#3 - Eat dairy to excrete more fat.
- A high calcium diet helps the body to excrete 100% more fat from the body compared to a low calcium diet (watch the experiment at 17:00).
- Dairy typically has high calcium content.
#4 - The larger the portion, the more you'll eat.
- The larger the portion given, the more a person eats, even if the whole portion tastes terrible (watch the experiment at 32:00).
- Keep a food diary helps you keep track of your food portion intake.
#5 - Eat soup will fill you up for longer.
- A soup meal stretches the stomach and keeps it full for a longer period of time compared to solid food meal (watch the experiment at 49:00).
- Water can keep you full longer, but only when it's filled with food.
If you're embarking on a dieting mission to lose fat, I personally still recommend that you talk to experts who have been trained and has scientific knowledge on the dieting method.
