[New Year's Special SBS Special] Meal Reduction Part 1-After the Epilogue of Diet ①

The truth about the diet that we did not know was revealed.

In the SBS special, which aired on the 5th, it was decorated with a New Year's special title with the subtitle 'Kinni's Catastrophe-Part 1 diet.

A German researcher recently published a study that showed that "when eating low-carb meals, people who ate dark chocolate lost more weight faster than those who didn't."

Can I really eat chocolate to make my diet more effective?

The broadcaster began an experiment to confirm the weight loss effect of chocolate. All eight participants ate low-carb meals, four of whom consumed chocolate. Three weeks later, I decided to check the diet of the chocolate and non-chocolate groups.

The chocolate group gained great comfort from their chocolate intake. The experimenter said, "It's obvious that eating chocolate gives you a feeling of satiety and less hunger. And you eat less."

After the experiment, they confirmed that the chocolate group had significantly more bad cholesterol than the chocolate group. Is this really thanks to dark chocolate?

The team met with a group of German researchers who studied chocolate diets. "We examined 16 subjects for three weeks of weight loss. The two groups lost more weight later in the experiment. In three weeks, the chocolate group lost more than 10%."

However, in our test results, the non-chocolate group lost more weight. A good chocolate group was one of the bad cholesterol levels.

Experts questioned the findings of the German researchers, saying, "The sample is so small that this might be a result of a coincidence."

German researchers had a unique history. These were all reporters. And there was a surprising truth lurking in their paper.

"I thought about a diet that was suitable for Germany. Then I tried some crazy methods." And they made a fake documentary about the chocolate diet.

They also left only favorable data for statistical analysis. Incidentally, they found data that the chocolate group lost weight over the comparison group, which led to research showing that eating chocolate can take you longer but lose weight.

Experts were surprised that "the results of the study would be difficult to publish as a paper, but it is published as a paper." And another expert drew attention, saying, "If you give money, you can put your paper in the journal you want."

Peter and Diana, who set up a fake lab, were contacted after a submerged work. After depositing $ 100, their paper was published in a journal. They hired an actor to make a video of losing weight with chocolate. And after a while something unexpected happened. A newspaper in Europe published an article about the chocolate diet.

The German researchers said, "It is a chain reaction that copies one another." In fact, their articles, once introduced to the media, were propagated to Africa without any verification.

German researcher Peter said, "I wanted to show how well we were deceived and how misleading when scientists were talking. The diet industry claims that we can lose weight that way. We wanted to show how ridiculous it was to believe it." said.

You can easily find articles on the Internet that introduce the benefits of chocolate. How reliable is the scientific research used as the basis?

Experts say most of the research in these articles is unbelievable. In particular, most articles claiming the benefits of chocolate were often supported by related companies.

For those who have given up on diet because of exercise, research has been enticing. The Exercise Paradox: The more you exercise, the lower your calorie consumption.

Professor Herman Pancher said, "When you reach a point where your momentum adapts, you don't burn calories no matter how much you exercise."

Actively compared the energy consumption of the Tanzanian Haza and Westerners, who are mostly sedentary. However, their energy consumption was known to have no difference and shocked.

"You need to be careful when measuring calories burned with a smartwatch, because the correlation between exercise volume and calories burned is not great. If you start exercising tomorrow, you lose weight until your body adapts, but after a long period of time, I will return as soon as possible. ”

The production team met with a couple who appeared in the Knyny insurgent last year. Those who succeeded in losing weight at that time had a yo-yo phenomenon in one year and gained weight. Both of them gain weight more rapidly than before they got married.

Together with another couple, they started the project by dividing them into exercise groups and dietary groups. The exercise group did not diet instead of exercising. The diet group did not exercise but only dieted to challenge weight loss.

As a result, the diet group overwhelmed the exercise group. Professor Herman said, "Exercising is good but not an effective way to lose weight."

O'Connor Times writes, "What people eat is the most important thing, and that's the main cause of obesity. The resignation food industry makes people focus on exercise and advertises that lack of exercise is the reason for obesity.

A few years ago in the U.S., e-mail from cola companies and experts was released. The cause of obesity was caused by the lack of exercise contained content. Behind the scenes were famous professors. They were sending the wrong message to the modern world, hiding the word that they should eat less with the help of coke makers.

After the debate, the group of experts in question disbanded. The coke industry has also changed its guidelines. We decided not to support the research either directly or indirectly, or to exert more than 50% of the impact.

A health-related broadcaster said, "The sponsors and public relations teams give papers and interviews with professors, but I doubt whether I can trust it 100%, but I believe that I still did it." He also said, "I showed it as far as possible to show its effectiveness."

And about the case, "There were no people who actually ate food when they were out. Sometimes they are told to eat after they've been out." But "my parents look at it. I said.

Also, the company officials who exemplify these cases said, "Isn't it just going to go out and eat it? It's the star of the sky to find someone who really eats and loses weight. We're all trained. "I was shocked to say.

On the Internet, in TV and in newspapers, thousands of information are poured out every day, emphasizing the efficacy and nutrition of food. Undoubtedly, science that accepts a flood of information also affects our diet. Are these food information properly validated? Where and how does it come from? Face the uncomfortable truths created by industry and the media.

Experts said, "The broadcaster is sponsored, but I do not notice, there is no restraint at all." And "health broadcasting and home shopping are closely related.

The press was not much different. Some media were posting ads like articles. An article that should contain objective content has been reduced to advertising advertising the benefits of food. Experts said, "If you look for credible research, it's not true. Readers believe that the reporter checked the facts and wrote the article.

The truth about food is more complicated than you think. I think that I decide what to eat and how to eat, but there is a fierce battle of the table where we do not know. The food you choose today is the product of intense food politics.

Experts say, "If food is magically improving your health, you have to suspect that the first question is" who paid for it. "Science doesn't change so dramatically. That's the red light of doubt. Turn on your common sense. "
