Thread: Intelligent Diet

I read another interesting article from MedIndia and summarized the important details:

Researchers are now working on an 'intelligent diet', which will allow dieters to still lose weight while they enjoy eating and feeling full.

Julian Mercer, the head of obesity research at the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, are trying to understand what makes people eat more and put on weight by investigating how food interacts with the gut and brain.

She and her colleagues want to help create foods that will allow people to enjoy what they are eating, but that also means they do not pile on excess pounds.

By finding the mechanisms that cause the feeling of fullness linked to eating protein, they hope to create products and recommend diets that allow people to lose weight and keep it off.


It would be great if the team would be successful in their research. This would be a big help to people who can't stay in their diet.

Best of luck for Julian Mercer and her research team. I can't imagine how they can create such intelligent foods but I'm no scientist.

I know right? when I read the post, I was like "How are they going to do that?" Anyway, let's just leave the science stuff to them. I look forward to their progress.

Interesting research. I'm glad someone finally thought of this. I wish them all the luck.
