If you have a diet high in carbohydrates your insulin levels will be spiking up and down like a yo-yo throughout the day.
Plus on the Satiety Index fats and protein satisfy our hunger for longer.
Ignorance and misinformation has caused the obesity epidemic, due to these high carb diets a lot of people eat they are insulin resistant and leptin resistant which makes it very difficult for these people to lose weight because
1) They're eating the wrong food &
2) They are constantly hungry due to leptin resistance which is the hormone that regulates your appetite.
So in summary Bryan G is absolutely correct |
I didn't say anything about satisfying hunger, nor I didn't mention calories. And I didn't say it is the same thing to eat different kinds of food (see that wood log example).
Cooking changes how much energy you can get from the food, etc. There are shitload of variables, but if you make the things even a little bit comparable, the issue getting fat isn't that different. The issue was that you can get as fat by eating healthy food as you can get by eating unhealthy food, and that hasn't changed. You can make things more comparable for example, if you insist using calories; by calculating digestible calories. That how we eliminate the differences between wooden logs and beef and raw food vs cooked food.
If the goal was to eat as much as you can without getting fat, you know, real pig style eating, then of course; you can eat bigger volumes some foods than others. For example you can eat quite huge volumes of wooden logs. But throwing up after eating has also been invented, so..
