(Newswire.net — Mar. 14, 2013) Melbourne, Victoria –For decades health experts have talked about the ’empty calories’ we all consume. From Soda to candy bars to sweets, puddings,etc The U.S.Dept.Agriculture confirm “Empty Calories are the calories from solid fats and added sugars in foods and beverages. They add to total calories, but provide no vitamins or minerals. Preschoolers can have some “empty calories”, but too many can fill them up without supplying the nutrients they need. “Empty calories” can also add more to children’s total calories than they really need.”
Essentially then we are all being robbed of highly nutritive foods which can easily satiate & hence automatically and naturally suppress over-eating. Indeed in the Mid 1990’s a Sydney based university nutritionist discovered the formula to food satiety. She found that 3 things defined the Satiety-equation being Protein, Fibre & Fluid content of the food her trial subjects ate AND of this ‘satiety-equation’ at least 60% of it was Protein!
So for the last 2 years as a Naturopathic wellness practitioner of some 30 years, Glen Rees BSc, ND has also run his own clinical trials on 24 of his obese & overweight customers over a 3 month period.
Glen explains: “Controls in our study are very difficult to find due to a critical lack of funding however our results confirm the USDA’s ’empty calorie’ hypothesis with around 75% finding effective fatty loss incredibly easy. Indeed many of them felt ‘guilty’ thinking that their weight issues just couldn’t be addressed SO EASILY! AND then even without extra exercise!! Indeed initially around 20% of our clients employed extra exercise as a weightloss tool BUT most of them dropped-off due to lack of impetus & time.”
Glen explains that whilst he realises many have sedentary jobs as well as after hours activity, that added exercise is a bit of a fix-it-all to weight loss. Sure its Calories in compared to calories out for most BUT in relation to broad studies of human nutrition little has been done comparing nutrient dense foods to weight-loss in terms of Protein quality & Fibre content especially.
“Our protein & fibre dense food of choice just had to be Chia seeds. This plants’ seeds are an amazingly dense source of All 8 essential Amino acids, Most macro minerals and of course soluble & insoluble fibre to boot. Also due to its Fibre density it is also a moderately low carb. food as well.”
“It only took us a number of tries to get a workable Chia seed Flour. Coconut & Cocoa topped bar. What really took the extra time was to find a way of amping up the Antioxidant levels where detoxification occurs naturally along with an almost complete blend of macro nutrients in the bar. We wanted a bar one could almost fully live off. Unfortunately we found that if you could add some plain greek style yoghurt to your diet or Cod liver oil capsules then needed the VIT A& D levels would come up to the mark. We advised our clients accordingly.
Finally he explains that this approach normalise blood sugar, normalises bowel habits, optimises detoxification & due to its high fibre content automatically improves cholesterol levels too.
Further he found that around 1/5 of his clients had to use a Hydrolysed (pre-digested) Casein protein fortified choc. Chia weight loss bar because their needs for protein were up to 40-60% MORE than the average! Not because of Pregnancy or Athletic ability BUT SIMPLE DNA needs! A few customers even heard of the bars for weight gain but thats a whole other story.
