1/ My thoughts on #Satiety & @DietDoctor šŸ§µ

If you've followed me a while, you know I try to avoid the "diet debates" (tho not always successfully)

However, I have been getting a high frequency of DMs/messages/calls regarding DD's new endeavor for a #lowcarb alternative
2/ Let me first start off by saying I don't think any diet is inherently superior to all others.

I *do* think the #lowcarb diet is under-utilized for populations that can uniquely benefit from it.

However, I also believe most of us have many more options than is often assumed.
3/ Moreover, I consider @DietDoctor's long history of providing a "one stop shop" platform for all things #lowcarb/#keto with high quality guides, videos, and tools to be without equal.

It made it extremely easy to refer everyone in DD's direction, particularly beginners.

1/4) ā€œSatiety scoreā€ score suggest macadamia nuts are more likely to promote weight gain and prevent weight loss than cheesecake?! (higher = more satiety) šŸ§

Macadamia = 17
Cheesecake = 19

Battered fried shrimp = 35
Apple juice = 32
Fried zucchini fritters 27

2/4) First, lest address the science. Do macadamia nuts cause weight gain?

In a 4 week interventional trial in which people were instructed to eat 40-90 grams of macadamia there was actually a net weight loss.

Try getting those results with cheesecakeā€¦
3/4)

Over past few days, Iā€™ve gotten dozens of messages expressing disappointment in the new satiety scoring system

Itā€™s a reasonable concept at best, but definitely not ready to be available as a public tool if itā€™s promoting cheesecake and apple juice over raw nuts.

#Satiety Science, thread! šŸ§µ

1/ It seems the new trend is talking about food "satiety" scores

Superficially the approach makes senseā€¦ prioritize foods thatā€™ll keep your full and thus you will lose weight. Sensible, right?

Maybe, or maybe not...
2/ 1st, satiety is an abstract concept

The best one can do is try to operationalize by creating scores based on other variables

@DietDoctor does this
[combines] "factors that make a food more satisfying: protein percentage, energy density, fiber content, and a hedonic factor." Image
3/ However, such composite scoring systems have the problems. We know this from examples like the NPS that ranked lucky charms healthier than eggs!

Everyone was upset, right? Well, satiety scoring system presents a double standard Image
