Some time ago , I found a PubMed search on weight gain and weight loss to assess the accuracy of a widely held belief . What belief? This weight control depends on the " simple arithmetic " of calories and calories . As I had long suspected , that the arithmetic is not always clear.
Even with the limited time I had , is still about 35 to 40 articles in various scientific journals that seem to defy the theory of calories. I have summarized some of the results below , but I need to start with a warning. Most of the studies mentioned in this article were made in animals. ( I specifically indicated when the subjects were human. )
Some will argue on this basis, so I would make two comments :
1 ) Studies of this type would be unethical to perform on humans . No review board approved the research that blocks people in a room , it takes control of your food, and forces them to gain or lose weight.
2) Are you really ready to say that weight control is calories in / calories out in humans, but is allowed in animals? Competent veterinary , for example, can confirm that the metabolic effects of Cushing's disease , including the role of hormones in weight gain are identical in humans and dogs.
So what happened in school? Different foods , nutrients and hormones influence the result of the mass . In short, what we eat can break the link between calories and weight.
Weight gain diet sugar affected.
• abdominal fat deposits were caused by a diet rich in sucrose in rats, but the rats ate the same calories as controls and showed no difference in weight gain compared to controls .
• The most standard meal sucrose fed rats more calories than controls eat , but gained more weight in calories and had more body fat than controls.
• The rats developed severe obesity in a diet rich in sugar , despite the standard controls food meal ate significantly more calories than sugar group.
• The protein content of a diet rich in sugar helped to block the effects of sucrose in weight gain and weight gain - for - calories. [ The protein causes the release of glucagon . Glucagon opposes insulin. ]
• A study of identical twins humans have shown that the main factor causing the different weight between the twins was sugar consumption .
Dietary fat also affected weight gain , even plus calories.
What appears to be a caloric balance calories / output is often the result of the composition of the diet. What we eat affect our hormonal response . The hormones may affect the weight beyond the calories. ( More information about the hormones in future articles . )
Some of you believe it, some do not. I hope you stop believing that weight control is simple arithmetic . Instead , please change your diet in a healthier direction , and get rid of sugar.
