Weight Watchers Satiating Power of Macronutrients
satiating • Satiety comes from when you eat a good meal and are full and satisfied • This method is used to reduce between meal snacking
Macronutrients • Proteins Carbohydrates Fats • Fiber, calcium and proteins molecules are harder for our bodies to breakdown • It takes longer meaning we stay fuller longer
Proteins • Red meat, chicken, pork, nuts, milk/dairy alternatives • Larger molecules are harder for our bodies to break down • Gives us iron, glucose and other molecules our bodies need to get active
Whole Grains • No epidemiologic studies done between refined and whole grain • Surveys done show people who eat more whole grains tend to be skinnier • They have more fiber, harder to break down, fuller longer • Correlation is not causation
Soy beans • Protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals • Many macronutrient such as phosphorus • Again lots of large molecules • Other health benefits that help with bacteria in your colon
Conclusion • There have been no conclusive studies done on the power of satiation and weight loss • Eating more means you stay fuller longer and reduces snacking • These were just a few of the foods mentioned on the site • It may work for some not for others due to body type and metabolism
