Anxiety reigns supreme: over the nightmare of "What do you eat on New Year's Eve" begins the scourge of "What diet do you do after New Year?".
The advice "eat less healthy food" suggests a Marco Bianchi possessed by the devil of prosecco after a karaoke party that lasted too long, but, curiously, this is exactly what some researchers at the University of Texas are suggesting.
According to their study, if the label describes a food as "healthy" people tend to consume more.
Now, as anyone who has been forced by the diet to eat a quinoa salad with goji berries and ginger can attest, that's not quite the case, but according to the researchers, they are the people convinced by food labels that they have made a healthier choice. who end up eating more.
In the first test, the study tested the participants' idea of healthy food.
The protagonist of the second was a biscuit in two different packages: a simple wrapping and the other that reported the word healthy on the label. In this phase the hunger level of the volunteers was moderated.
Third and final test: the monitoring of some foods purchased before the screening of a short film, and the quantity that was actually eaten during the screening.
The results revealed the implicit belief that "healthy" food satiates less than food not labeled as such.
The case of the healthy or unhealthy biscuit is emblematic: people who ate the one with the health information on the label felt hungrier than those who ate the other.
Maybe this story is not familiar to some of you.
The study ends with a reflection on how sometimes food labels are misleading, which ironically "can contribute to the obesity epidemic instead of reducing it".
Probably this is even more true considering the meaningless meaning of some terms such as "natural" applied to foods that have very little natural.
Consequently, a diet based on "unhealthy" foods could be part of the good intentions for 2016 that we are finally able to keep.
