[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, an interesting story about the theme of 'Kinni's Extraordinary-Part 1 Diet Epilogue' was released.

A German researcher recently published a study that showed that people who ate dark chocolate lost weight faster and more quickly than those who didn't.

Does eating chocolate really help you lose weight?

So the crew 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, we 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."

In fact, after the experiment, the non-chocolate group was found to have accumulated more 'bad cholesterol' than the chocolate group. Is it really 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 weight over the second half of the experiment. In three weeks, the chocolate group lost more than 10%."

But in our experiment, different results came out. The non-chocolate group lost more weight. The good chocolate group was one of the 'bad cholesterol' levels.

A domestic expert questioned the results of a German research team, saying, "It may be the result of a small sample."

German researchers had a unique history of being journalists. And there was a surprising truth lurking in their paper.

"I thought about a diet suitable for Germany. Then I experimented with a mysterious method." 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 research would be difficult to publish as a paper, but it was published as a paper." Another expert told the shocking story, "You can put your paper in the journal you want if you pay."

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. 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 spread to Africa without any verification.

"We wanted to show how well we were deceived and how deceived the scientists were when we talked. 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. But how reliable is the scientific research used as the basis?

Experts said, "The findings in these articles are mostly incredible." In particular, most articles claiming the benefits of chocolate have received support from related companies.

There was also research to convince people who gave up their diets because of exercise. 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."

To support this, we compared the energy consumption of the high-risk Tanzanian Haza and the Westerners with the most sedentary lifestyles. However, their energy consumption was known to have no difference and shocked.

"You need to be careful when measuring calories burned with a smart watch, because the correlation between exercise volume and calories burned is not great. If you start your workout 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 on the side of 'Kinny Rebellion' last year. Those who succeeded in losing weight at that time had a yo-yo phenomenon in one year and gained weight. Both were more fat than before.

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. "It's good to exercise, but it's not an effective way to lose weight," Herman said.

"What people eat is the most important thing, and that's the main cause of obesity," O'Connor Times reports. "The food industry makes people focus on exercise and advertises that lack of exercise is the reason for obesity. That's not true." did.

A few years ago in the U.S., a public company exchanged e-mail with cola makers and experts. The cause of obesity was caused by lack of exercise was contained in the content. Behind the scenes were famous professors. They were reported to have sent the wrong message with the help of a coke maker, concealing that they eat less.

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 confessed the uncomfortable truth of the sponsorship program, saying, "I have a question about whether I can trust 100% of this, but the sponsor or public relations team gives a paper or interview. "I showed that I turned around showing the efficacy as much as possible," he added.

In addition, "There were no people who actually ate food when you were a case. After you have been told, they actually try to eat," he said. "Even when my parents watched the broadcast, 'It's really good.' "I confessed.

A company official who advocates the case says, "You can't just go out and eat it. Finding someone who really eats and loses weight is a star in the sky. We're all trained. I was shocked.

On the Internet, in TV and in newspapers, thousands of information are poured out every day, emphasizing the efficacy and nutrition of food. Undoubtedly, the information that is undoubtedly accepted in the flood of information can only affect our diet.

Experts pointed out that even though the broadcaster was sponsored, there were no notices, and there was no restraint. Health broadcasts 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 an advertisement promoting the efficacy of food. Experts criticized, "If you look for credible research, it's not true. Readers believe that journalists have checked the facts and wrote articles.

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 a red light for doubt. Use your common sense."
