We all know that losing weight is all about how many calories you eat. You can lose weight whilst eating nothing but chocolate, but that would be pretty hard (and unhealthy).
Indeed, the biggest advice given to people who want to lose weight is to avoid caloric junk food, and instead eat low caloric, "filling" food like fruits and veggies. An apple is about as filling as a medium sized chocolate bar, but holds about 5x less calories. Therefore it's much easier to lose weight by eating apples instead of chocolate.
But what exactly makes food "filling"? Is it the ratio of weight-to-calorie-count, meaning you get to eat the same quantity of food, but ingest less calories? Is it the amount of chewing required? Some people report to feel less hungry and eat less overall when they intentionally spend more time chewing than usual. Is it the taste of the food? Or some other standard that I've never seen discussed?
Thanks in advance.
