"For those who have made a determined resolution to trim down their waistlines this new year, trying to work out how to satisfy a hungry tummy while keeping the calorie count low can be tricky. But experts have revealed how eating a diet dense in one type of food can encourage people to fill up on more fruit and vegetables, and fewer higher-energy options."
"A new study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on Tuesday shows participants who ate an unprocessed diet naturally choose to eat a lot more fruit and vegetables than higher-calorie wholefood options like rice, meat and butter which could help with losing weight. Researchers said the body has its own nutritional intelligence' that favours foods rich in micronutrients (Getty/iStock) The data showed people on an unprocessed diet could eat over 50 per cent more food by mass"
Participants consuming an unprocessed diet selected substantially more fruit and vegetables and fewer higher-calorie wholefood options like rice, meat and butter. The unprocessed diet allowed people to eat over 50 percent more food by mass while consuming on average 330 fewer calories per day than those on an ultra-processed diet. Researchers noted that the body favors foods rich in micronutrients, describing a form of 'nutritional intelligence' that drives choices toward micronutrient-dense items.
