** WHOLE VS. PROCESSED FOODS **
As I'm eating salads lately, I started thinking about this. Here are some thoughts...
Whole foods (not the Amazon subsidiary) are foods that retain their general, original structure.
Let's get our minds off Twinkies when thinking of processed foods for a moment though.
Once something is chopped, pulverized, mashed, or dehydrated, it is no longer "whole" in terms of how your body sees it.
Ground beef is, technically processed, for example.
Many calories burned in life are from the digestion process. Your body enjoys a challenge (it's called TEF - Thermic Effect of Food).
By eating "pre-digested" foods, it is super easy for your body to finish processing them which will leave you hungry for more soon after.
It also requires more of these processed foods in order to hit the snooze on the "I'm still hungry" alert from your tummy. This is why bingeing is such an issue.
The danger with processed food is that a lot of it is not "fluffy". It gets into your stomach and your body says "We are not full, dude. GIVE US MOAR!"
Your body WANTS to feel FULL. This requires QUANTITY of food.
Your body NEEDS to get NUTRIENTS. This requires QUALITY of food.
Think about drinking a 1-cup protein shake as compared with eating a lean cut of steak of equal protein proportions:
(1) The steak tastes so much better, so you'll get full of the amount of food (bulk), but you could easily eat more if this weren't the limiting factor.
(2) The protein shake will not fill you up as much, but it is so dense that you'll get all the nutrients the steak has to offer (minus the fat) within a few moments, which leaves you craving more to get your stomach full.
The long and short of it is, you need BALANCE. You need the fullness (veggies, fibrous foods, and liquids wil all do this) mixed in with the nutrient density. Mix it up so you're getting full while still maximizing your intake of desired nutrients.
