Weight Loss Tip Number 114 from How To Live The Healthiest Life:
Processed foods lack protein and cause increased caloric intake. Substitute protein for fast foods.

When you’re hungry and craving a quick snack, it’s tempting to make some instant noodles or reheat leftover pizza instead of cooking something healthy. However, enjoying these processed foods regularly may have a negative effect on your overall health.

Data reveals that at least two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese. At the same time, millions of people eat fast food every day.

According to a large-scale population study conducted by researchers from the University of Sydney (USYD), eating highly-processed (ultra-processed) snacks can promote overeating, contribute to unwanted weight gain and even increase your risk of developing chronic disease.

The study was published in the journal Obesity.

Processed foods lack protein and cause increased caloric intake
For the study, researchers examined data from more than 9,000 volunteers obtained by the Australian Bureau of Statistics regarding nutrition and physical activity.

After analyzing the data, scientists found that highly-processed and refined foods cause protein hunger, a condition that triggers overeating and contributes to obesity. The researchers said that the findings help to confirm the “Protein Leverage Hypothesis” or the theory that people overeat fats and carbohydrates because their body craves protein more than other nutrients.

Worth noting is the fact that the food consumed in Western diets contains lower amounts of protein, something highly lacking in processed foods. Additionally, processed foods continue to make up larger proportions of many people’s daily diets.

Dr. Amanda Grech, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney‘s Charles Perkins Center, explained that as people consume more junk foods or highly-processed and refined foods, they continue to “dilute their dietary protein and increase their risk of being overweight and obese.”

David Raubenheimer, study co-author, a professor and the Leonard Ullmann Chair in Nutritional Ecology at USYD, confirms the negative effects of improper nutrition. “Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease – they’re all driven by diet, cautioned Raubenheimer.

“Children using anti-epileptic medication have reduced plasma levels of vitamin E, a sign of vitamin E deficiency. So, doctors at the University of Toronto gave epileptic children 400 IU of vitamin E per day for several months, along with their medication. This combined treatment reduced the frequency of seizures in most of the children by over 60 percent. Half of them “had a 90 to 100 percent reduction in seizures”. This extraordinary result is also proof of the safety of 400 IU of vitamin E per day in children (equivalent to at least 800 to 1,200 IU/day for an adult). “There were no adverse side-effects,” said the researchers. It also provides a clear example of pharmaceutical use creating a vitamin deficiency, and an unassailable justification for supplementation.” Ogunmekan AO, Hwang PA “A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), as add-on therapy, for epilepsy in children”, Epilepsia, 1989 Jan-Feb; 30(1):84-9

“François-Marie Arouet was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher. Known by his nom de plume Voltaire, he was famous for his wit, and his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—and of slavery. Voltaire was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, histories, and scientific expositions. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and 2,000 books and pamphlets. Voltaire was one of the first authors to become renowned and commercially successful internationally. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties and was at constant risk from the strict censorship laws of the Catholic French monarchy. His polemics witheringly satirized intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.”

IMHO this is a small portion of the truth. The first thing a person wanting to recover should do is stop ingesting that which is causing the problem, be it drugs, alcohol, sugar or toxins. (These toxins can be physical in air, food, water or spiritual/mental, as in criticism or invalidation.)

The second is to improve nutrition.

The third is to detoxify and the last is to address any mental predispositions, precipitations or prolongations of the issue.
