How do we eat more to lose weight? Calorie Counting while eating highly refined, processed, rapidly digestible, insulin producing, sugary foods works temporarily and never in the long term. We often have an abundance of calories but they’re in the wrong places. When we don’t eat nutritionally dense food our brains make us hungry and we temporarily solve the problem by eating more. However, if the food is nutritionally deficient, and insulin creating, the process will go on and on leading to weight gain and slow metabolism. Conversely, over consuming nutritionally dense and insulin decreasing foods speeds up metabolism and leads to weight loss. The reason for all of this is that fat has been taken out of processed foods since the 1970s and replaced with refined carbs which lead to the malnourished problems mentioned here. The food industry makes enormous profits from this practice as people are always in constant need of more food as their hunger and nutrition is never quenched. Fats have twice the amount of calories as carbs and low fat diets have proven not to work for weight loss and overall health. The old paradigm of having will power to calorie count and not eat when you’re hungry has nothing to do with being healthy and losing weight, rather, eating larger amounts of the right kinds of slowly digesting, nutritionally dense foods does.
