Don’t drink your calories (Stop juicing!)

If you asked me, I would tell you don’t drink your calories and to stop juicing. I’ve been saying this and writing about eating food rather than drinking it for over 17 years. Just last month I wrote a post featuring Jeff Novick’s article, “Calorie Density: A Common Sense Approach To Sound Nutrition.” Your food should look like you dug it out of the ground, picked it off of a plant or bush or out of a tree. Slender For Life™ hypnosis for weight loss clients create healthy desires for real food.

Effects of food form on appetite and energy intake in lean and obese young adults

The Principles of Calorie Density in Action (Again) – Don’t Drink Your Calories. Avoid liquid calories. Eat/chew your calories, don’t drink or liquify them. Liquids have little if any satiety so they do not fill you up as much as solid foods of equal calories.

In this study total daily energy intake was significantly higher (12 to 19%) from food in beverage form then solid form due to a weak effect on satiety regardless if the food was high carbohydrate, high protein or high fat. ~ Jeff Novick
