A varied diet fattening

We get fat from flour, fat, meat, sweet, salty and acute, according to studies published in the last few years. For a long time, nutritionists strongly recommended to make menu as varied as possible. But now it turned out that this also leads to obesity.

The study found that if our table too many of the diversified food, the brain perceives is not quite right. It seems that the body is malnourished. It creates a kind of visual illusion that the portions smaller than usual. Therefore, we use an average of 10% more food than with the limited choice of food. A year later, this leads to a set of extra six kilograms.

Scientists believe that the obesity   plays a significant role here, this is the unwillingness of the brain needed to determine the saturation portion sizes. The study authors were quick to say that they, of course, do not call all supporters of a healthy diet to restrict your diet to one or two dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We just do not always have to unconditionally believe my eyes, that's all.

"Here the whole point is that the components of the same food, well, for example, pieces of cauliflower, form a whole lot on the plate, which visually takes up more space - say the authors from the University of Minnesota. - And if we on the plate are different products, we perceive this portion is smaller in size. But in fact nothing of the kind. "
