ONLINE May 16, 2020: American Physiological Society Schedules Webinar on Calories, Carbs, or Quality? What Matters Most for Body Weight

No, eating carbs makes you fat. In this presentation, Kevin Hall, PhD, will discuss the physiology of body weight regulation and how we adapt to various changes in diet. The total calories we consume, eating carbs versus fat and differences in diet quality--which varies with the amounts of "ultra-processed" foods we consumer--will be discussed.[16]

Ultra-Processed Foods: It's Not Just Sugar and Fat Attacking Waistlines

The study analyzed the relationship between processed food consumption, total calories, and calories from added sugar using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010. Altogether, ultra-processed foods accounted for 58% of all calories in the U.S. diet and nearly 90% of all added sugars. The second item about UPFs was an episode of the keto diet company Key Eats' podcast Best Known Method with Ethan Weiss, MD, interviewing the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases nutrition researcher Kevin Hall discussing ultra-processed foods.[15]

‘Ultraprocessed’ foods may make you eat more, clinical trial suggests

The official dietary guidelines of Brazil, for example, recommend that people "limit consumption of processed foods." Kevin Hall, a physiologist at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland, suspected that processed foods were linked to poor health simply because they were likely to contain lots of fat, sugar, and salt. The researchers found that by the second week of each diet, people were eating, on average,. The participants ate faster on the ultraprocessed diet, and studies have found that people tend to eat more when they eat faster.[121314]
