Good Lifestyle

There are many reasons why all-you-user buffets are so popular - they combine a food variety with affordability and, of course you can go back for several turns. But what you choose to put on your plate could predict your risk ofweight gain, according to a new study in the newspaperAppetite.

The researchers examined 82 young adults who were not overweight and recorded what they chose at the buffet, then followed a year later. Those who have chosen the foods considered as "hyperphabaines" were significantly more likely to have a higher body fat percentage and weight gain compared to those who have chosen healthy foods.

Hyperpalable foods are those classified as having high quantities of calories, simple carbohydrates,added sugars, grease and sodium, and a small amount of fiber. They are usually ultra-transformed and can be digested very quickly, according to the main author Tera Fazzino, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Kansas. Because of this, it can do themeasy to eat too much Because it takes longer for your body to send signals of fullness to your brain.

Examples of these foods include:

• Hot Dogs and OthersProcessed meats
• Bretzels and white bread
• Desserts like Brownies and Bookies
• Salty snacks

These foods launch what is called a hedonistic response, which means they trigger the reward reaction in the brain, the notes of Fazzino.

"These foods provoke both a psychological and physiological effect, which contributes to the regulation of energy balance and energy balance," she says. "Simply turn, eat more, and this increases your calorie consumption, sometimes considerably."

This does not mean that you win weight whenever you eat them, just like an occasional indulgence to a buffet automatically leads to a higher number on the scale. After all, it is possible to balance the hyperpalable choices in a buffet or even a fast food restaurant with foods that do not match this definition, she says. For example, opt for grilled chicken instead offried, or a side salad instead of French fries.

In addition, it adds that all these foods do not have the same effect. Those of the recent study who have chosen hyperpalable foods who have tended to more fat and sodium did not actually have any significant agency changes a year later, even if they had highly caloric options and Ultra-transformed.

It was those who chose the highest foods of carbohydrates and sodium more likely to gain weight as these choices tend to be associated with a hedonic diet, says Fazzino.

Take away here? As always, enjoy these foods with moderation, which means they sometimes have them from time to time.
