Why YSK: many countries have issues with weight, such as mine with 74% of US adults being overweight or obese. The global weight loss industry is over $200 billion yearly, with many influencers, pills, and surgeries promising quick results with little effort. These often come with side effects, or don’t work long term.

Studies suggest filling yourself with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables, can help reach and maintain a healthy weight. It’s good to have these foods available in our living spaces to make the choice easy. Your taste buds will likely adapt to love them if you’re not there yet.

    Excuse me, fruit are NOT in GENERAL low caloric density with the exception of strawberries.

    This is part of the danger of getting your nutrition advice from some internet randos.

      What are you talking about? What’s more filling, an apple or one of those “100-calorie-packs” of hyperprocessed sugar?

      The apple is less calories too.

      This thread is generally filled with completely pants-on-head dietary advice.

      Don’t get this type of information from randoms on Lemmy, contact a professional instead. I’ve noticed that Lemmy is exceptionally bad as a source for this.
