Page 16 - Whole Food Lifestyle

They lack macronutrients, like protein, healthy fats and complex carbs, and they also lack

micronutrients, like, vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Real, whole foods that come from plants and animals contain a large amount of trace nutrients,
many of which we have yet to understand.

And, as of yet, there is no way to mimic that in a lab.

Reduced Thermic Effect Of Food

The Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) is a term that measures

the energy expenditure (metabolism) after eating
particular foods, specifically it totals approximately 10%
of the metabolic rate in the average person.

According to a study published on Food & Nutrition
Research in 2010, the metabolic rate of 17 men and
women was compared after they ate a processed meal
and a whole food meal. Those who had a multi grain
bread cheddar cheese sandwich burned twice as many
calories as those who ate a white bread American

cheese sandwich.

So, it seems that whole foods are burned more
efficiently by the body, which supports the healthy
weight management concept of “calories in and calories

out.”
