Low-Calorie Products and Obesity

By Stan V Johnson

Today people are trying to control their diet in order to be more slender. As a result the companies producing food and drinks follow the people's tastes and produce the low-calorie products. But the recent researches showed that the lack of calories can provoke the obesity.

The dietitians carried out different test on the rats and got the unexpected results. Regardless of the weight of an animal the consumption of the low-calorie products promoted the overeating.

The researchers think that the transfer to such food sharply lowers the ability of the organism to regulate the daily norm of the energy. As a result the sensation of satiety is lost, and the man eats more to fill in the lack of fats and carbohydrates.

The dietitians are sure that the rising generation should be accustomed to the balanced food, as it is the best way to brought up healthy and strong children. Colin Wayne - the chairman of the British National Forum, devoted to the problems of the obesity - agreed that the results of the researches were interesting, especially if we take into account the number of low-calorie products that we see in our stores today. But Doctor Wayne summons not to believe these facts unreservedly, because he was confused with the comparing of humans with the rats. But in spite of these disagreements all the scientists and doctors agree that children should be accustomed to the balanced food, not to the low-calorie products.

Besides, the dietitians advise not only to consume enough fats and carbohydrates, but also to reasonably plan the diet.
