Understanding the science behind the Always Hungry? Solution is step one… Step two is making it work for YOU. In this post, we’ll explore some of Dr. Ludwig’s recent research – then, we’ll find ways to apply the findings to boost the nutrition of your meals.
A classic “healthy breakfast” at a restaurant may include a few scrambled egg whites, spinach, fresh fruit, and toast. Although the egg whites will contain some protein, the remainder of the ingredients are primarily carbohydrates. The toast, in particular, is a refined carbohydrate – which may be associated with undesirable health outcomes. Instead of opting for this meal, try having whole eggs scrambled in olive oil with vegetables, bacon, and fresh fruit. The saturated fat from the eggs and bacon may be a healthier choice compared to the refined carbohydrates in the toast.
Calorie restriction doesn’t seem to be an effective solution to weight gain or obesity. Instead of restricting calories and depriving yourself of delicious food, fuel your body with nutrient-dense, rich, high-fat foods. According to the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model, a diet higher in fats and lower in carbohydrates (particularly refined carbohydrates) is more likely to be associated with health benefits. A lower-calorie, high-glycemic load diet – on the other hand – doesn’t appear to “lessen predisposition to fat storage nor diminish hunger”.
