[QUOTE="AliB, post: 89354, member: 16907"] Personally I think we can get way too hung up on the calorie thing - t'would be better if they had never been 'invented'. The more nutritious your food, the less you need. If you aren't getting enough nutrition from your food your body will keep prompting you to eat. Much of the carbohydrate 'stodge' is nutritionally 'dead' these days and some will actually rob the body of valuable nutrients. If the diet consists mainly of good (preferably organic) wholesome meat, fish, poultry, eggs, fruit, veg, nuts, seeds and some dairy if you can cope with it then you should be getting a much higher value of nutrition. I was thinking about those morbidly obese people who can't stop eating? They are caught in a cycle. Their weight demands that they need a huge amount of nutrition to keep their body going. But if you analyse their diet they usually tend to eat huge amounts of stodge - chips, pies, bread, cake, sweets, buns, biscuits, etc, and it is pretty likely that the only vegetable many of them ever see is a high-carb, high-sugar tin of baked beans! So they are caught in an ever increasing cycle of never getting enough nutrition to cater for their body's demands. Hunger is the body's way of requesting nutrition. As long as it is getting what it needs it will not need to ask for more. [/QUOTE]
