Understanding Hunger and Satiety

Hunger - one of your body’s strongest and most beneficial stimuli - helps insure that you consume enough Calories for your needs. However, it also works against you when you’re trying to lose weight.

Foods that contain large amounts of fat, sugar, and/or starch have low Fullness Factors, and are much easier to overeat. Foods that contain large amounts of water, dietary fiber, and/or protein have the highest Fullness Factors. These high-FF foods, which include most vegetables, fruits, and lean meats, do a better job of satisfying your hunger.

Ask ND: Why don’t the numbers on the labels add up?

Q. I’ve noticed that the grams of protein, carbs, and fats given on nutrition labels frequently don’t add up to the number of calories indicated on the label. How do you figure out which category the missing calories belong to?

A. I know just what you mean. Because we know how many calories are in a gram of protein (4), carbohydrate (4), or fat (9), you would think you could calculate the number of calories just by knowing the amounts of these nutrients. But if you do the math, sometimes the result doesn’t match the number of calories shown on the label.

One of my students said he regretted that even though he works in IT, he feels that he doesn’t keep up with new developments outside his specialized field. It isn’t cool to be the techie at a party who never heard of YouTube when your neighbor, the account actually posts videos of his dog doing stupid tricks.

  The first real improvement to search since Google. And it’s
  accomplished not by aggregating more capacity to the
  centre, but rather by depending, intelligently, on
  distributed capacity. Nice. Hate the spelling of the name,
  though.
