Good news for close to Christmas comes from the Seventh Regional Congress of the Italian Society of Obesity (SIO), which takes place today Rome in the department of scienzaodontostomatologiche and maxillofacial Sapienza University: the quality of what you eat matters more than the number of calories to maintain slender. With 2,000 calories a day can indeed be obese or lean. The counting efficiency of individual nutrients in the pot is not enough. Better assess how it is filled, overall, that dish. There are foods that are high risk overweight, such as glycidol, carbohydrates, some types of cheese, sugar and saturated fat, but also some foods that, along with the first, can compensate for the damage, such as fiber, vegetables and whole grains.
After the count calorie and ‘s’ body mass index ‘or BMI, is born as the” index of diet quality’, IQD, a new report that allows specialists to identify if the foods that you eat will make you fat or not, regardless of the calories. The new quality index has been developed by researchers at the Medical Section of Pathophysiology and Endocrinology, Department of Experimental Medicine of the University ‘La Sapienza’ in Rome. The specialists have carried out a study in which we compared the food diaries of 120 subjects with very different power supplies (30 vegans, 30 lacto-ovo vegetarians, 30 lean and 30 obese omnivores omnivorous) but taking overlapping caloric amount (vegans: circa 1970 calories per day with body mass index-BMI 23.6), lacto-ovo-vegetarians: 2,174 calories to 22.9 BMI, lean omnivores 2,020 calories and BMI 23.69; obese omnivores: 2,140 calories and 37.9 Bmi) and amount of physical activity superimposed. The new index used by researchers report puts food ‘harmful’ with those who have a compensatory effect so as to reduce the effects of the first. Go ahead and then to the pleasures of the table during holidays, but at the table that there is a wide choice of dishes ‘compensating’. “At the same calories you eat each day by vegans, vegetarians include milk and eggs, lean and obese omnivore omnivores are highlighted decidedly different weights – said Andrea Lenzi, professor of endocrinology and director of the medical section of the pathophysiology and endocrinology in the department of experimental medicine Wisdom – is not only the caloric intake to determine the development of obesity and overweight but as it builds the menu, balancing foods containing saturated fats or carbs with fiber. In line with the dictates of the Mediterranean diet, the dishes devoid of fiber and vegetables and high in saturated fat, particularly red meat, not only make you fat, it facilitates the development of obesity-related diseases. “
