Forget About Counting Calories – Eat Nutrient Dense Foods

 

True Hunger vs. Withdrawal Hunger

Hunger occurs when glycogen stores approach depletion. Hunger signals are sent to the brain and you feel compelled to eat. Eating prevents the process of gluconeogenesis, otherwise known as the breakdown of lean tissue for needed glucose. This process prevents the body from using up muscle tissue as an energy source.

Withdrawal hunger is when someone subsists on nutrient poor foods, hunger signals are sent to the brain much earlier in the digestive (catabolic) process before the breakdown of lean tissue is anywhere near to becoming a problem.

People who switch from eating calorie dense foods to eating nutrient dense foods actually experience an adjustment phase while their system learns to adapt from eating pro-inflammatory foods.

If people learned to eat nutrient dense foods, they wouldn’t have to get their food “fix” when it wasn’t needed. They’d eat only when they were actually hungry. Since hunger is one of the main impediments to fat loss, people on a nutrient dense diet wouldn’t experience it as much, and when they did get hungry, it’d be legitimate hunger.

A diet filled with nutrient dense foods would likely make a significant difference in the way you look, it also has health benefits.
