When you say that popcorn would be eaten over and over again, do you mean that it would be hard to stop eating it or that there is a concern with eating a munch food over too long of a period of time? (if that makes sense) Let me put it this way: If we are eating 2 slices of bread and 1 Tbsp of butter as a munch food, is the length of time it takes us to eat it a factor at all or are overeating/available glycogen storage space the only factors?
monica 09-12-2002 07:25 AM	i read another answer you had posted to a similar question and it seems that the time it takes to eat a particular food is a factor. Please confirm that it is best best to consume all foods directly after one another/together regardless of whether it is munch food or fruit & fats because the combination of the foods eaten affect blood sugar and hunger level.

Yes, but cereals and rice cakes contain more protein. quote: What if they are eaten with fat? If that helps you to eat less of these, that is better indeed. quote: When you say that popcorn would be eaten over and over again, do you mean that it would be hard to stop eating it Yes. quote: If we are eating 2 slices of bread and 1 Tbsp of butter as a munch food, is the length of time it takes us to eat it a factor at all no. quote: are overeating/available glycogen storage space the only factors? Yes, ingesting more energy when you don't need it is what causes overweight, induced by the appetite-stimulating influence of beta-carbolines and opioid peptides, especially when the glycogen stores were already filled. quote: i read another answer you had posted to a similar question and it seems that the time it takes to eat a particular food is a factor. huh? I think you misinterpret... Can you direct me to that thread, so that I can explain? quote: Please confirm that it is best best to consume all foods directly after one another/together regardless of whether it is munch food or fruit & fats because the combination of the foods eaten affect blood sugar and hunger level. No, not at all. how did you get this idea? Yes, you should combine fats with sugars, but you should never force yourself to eat more foods together. It is very important not to eat when you don't need the energy, so, you should not eat because you think you have to; you should only eat when you need the energy. It is better to eat all the time, then to eat much food in one meal and then eat nothing. consuming a lagre quantity of food in one meal stimulates the uptake of spare energy in fat deposits, and experiencing an energy drop afterwards, which stimulates the conversion of muscle protein into available energy. Eating lots of small meals only replenishes the blood energy levels without stimulating the composition of new body fat, and prevents the conversion of muscle tissue into available energy.
