Are You Always Hungry? This May Be Why
If you often find yourself looking for more food, or not feeling full or satisfied, you may be experiencing dietary displacement.
What is 'dietary displacement' exactly?
Negative Dietary Displacement
This occurs when you take a pass on healthy foods in order to splurge on something less healthy later. Like skipping meals all day so you can eat that dessert at the birthday party after work. You are replacing meals (or healthy eats) with non nutritious foods. Negative dietary displacement can lead to a host of problems:- rebound overeating
- lack of satiety
- atrocious nutrient intake
- loss of muscle mass
- low energy levels
- increased body fat
Positive Dietary Displacement
Positive dietary displacement occurs when you consume enough healthy and nutritious foods during the day that you don't have room for the nasty, non nutritious stuff. Eating this way can contribute to:- consuming the right amount of food for your energy needs
- satiation after meals
- a stellar nutrient intake
- lean muscle development
- high energy levels
- lower levels of body fat
