Counting calories works. But I'm lazy and don't want to count and I experience a lot of hunger when I do. So I came across a study here. They basically pitted a very low carb diet against a medium carb diet and the feeding was ad libitum. The low carb lost the most but even the medium carb lost a ton of weight (1100kcal a day deficit). What did these diets have in common? A low energy density of around 0.6kcal/g.
Now wait, a month ago there was a study30248-7) about ultra processed food vs unprocessed food. The unprocessed group had a caloric deficit of around 500kcal a day. The energy density of the unprocessed diet was 1kcal/g whereas the ultra processed was 2kcal/g. The ultra processed group had a 500kcal surplus every day. Both were ad libitum feedings.
So lowering energy density seems to lower hunger and induce weight loss. What are your experiences?
