Are the All Calories the Same? |
Friday, 02 November 2007 | ||||
This is why a high-carb diet is the best for you, both in health and for weight loss. (And by high carb I mean ‘natural’ carbs, not the refined junk food crap.) The body must convert calories into energy, so you can get energy from your food. Now, when you eat carbohydrates, (potatoes/vegetables/whole wheats/etc) your body must burn more than a quarter of those calories in order to convert them. So, if you ate 100 calories worth of vegetables, you’d automatically burn 25 calories just in the digestion/conversion process. Sweet, eh? Now, when you eat fat, the body simply stores it; it does not use any calories (or hardly any) to convert it. So, if you ate 100 calories worth of butter, your body might use two of those calories. So, in both cases you eat 100 calories. In the case of the vegetables (or potatoes/etc.) you end up ‘consuming’ only 75 calories. If you eat the fat, you consume—and store—at least 98 calories.

So to wrap it up, studies have proven that even if vegetarians/vegans eat the SAME AMOUNT of calories as meat/excessive fat eaters, the vegetarians gain much less weight.
