An article on the abc-on line news states that a study into the eating patterns of animals could help cut obesity rates in Western countries.
Left to choose their own food, research has shown animals will first seek out protein and never become obese. In a natural state, the same is true for humans.
Professor Steve Simpson from the University of Sydney says modern diets with high fat and salt contents trick people into overeating. "But if you simply change the ratio and you can do that in one or two ways - incorporating high quality protein items in the diet and by that I mean lean meat or fish or high quality vegetable proteins," he said.
"The rest will happen naturally if you listen to your own hungers and say well do I really need to eat that and listen to it and don't be suckered into eating sugary and fat things just because they are there."
Interesting.
