From The Epoch Times:
For many of us, this time of year brings with it generally greater opportunity to eat more than is necessary. While I do not particularly believe in sacrifice or deprivation, I do think it’s useful to be aware of strategies that can be used to prevent over-consumption of food and drink with ease and, importantly, without hunger.
One approach that tends to reap dividends is focusing on eating a diet that sates the appetite most effectively.
For a given number of calories, not all types of food sate the appetite to the same extent. While many factors can play a part, two factors that are particularly important are the protein content of food and its glycemic index (the speed and extent to which it disrupts blood sugar levels).
Generally speaking, protein is the most sating element of the diet, and lower GI foods are more sating than those of higher GI.
One type of diet that fulfills these criteria is a Paleolithic or primal diet, essentially a hunter-gatherer diet based on foods eaten prior to the introduction of relatively novel foods, including grains and dairy products. Such a diet would include meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables.
