Calories in VS calories out? Does food TYPE matter in weight-loss?
A wonderful question and one that is debatable.
As always, I take the approach of looking at how someone’s ACTIONS (ie what they eat) effects how they feel and what they do next (feel content, eat more, binge)
Whilst it is absolutely true that 100 calories of chocolate and 100 calories of broccoli is the same.. the effect that each of these foods have on the body and on a person is different.
It is often paraded on social media that as long as you are in a calorie deficit you can eat as much ‘junk’ food as you want and still lose weight …
Whilst this is TECHNICALLY true- humans are not a science lab where everything comes down to numbers..
As humans, what we eat affects our mood, our energy, our cravings, our digestion and ALL of these thing effect how well or not well we stick to a deficit and how we respond to being in a deficit ..
The aim is always for balance, remembering that the BEST diet for you, is the diet you can stick to!
It’s one that has all the nutritional properties to support your body but ALSO has the balance needed (the things you love to eat) included too.
SWIPE to see this study showing that by eating more processed food, you are actually more likely to eat more than on a diet of less processed food !
