Abstract

Background

People overeat considering their hunger directs them to consume more calories than they require. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in experience and perception of hunger earlier and after participants shifted from their previous usual diet to a high food density nutrition.

Methods

This was a descriptive study conducted with 768 participants primarily living in the United states who had inverse their dietary habits from a low micronutrient to a high micronutrient diet. Participants completed a survey rating various dimensions of hunger (physical symptoms, emotional symptoms, and location) when on their previous usual nutrition versus the high micronutrient density diet. Statistical analysis was conducted using non-parametric tests.

Results

Highly pregnant differences were establish betwixt the two diets in relation to all physical and emotional symptoms also equally the location of hunger. Hunger was non an unpleasant experience while on the high nutrient density nutrition, was well tolerated and occurred with less frequency fifty-fifty when meals were skipped. Nearly fourscore% of respondents reported that their experience of hunger had changed since starting the high food density diet, with 51% reporting a dramatic or complete change in their feel of hunger.

Conclusions

A high micronutrient density nutrition mitigates the unpleasant aspects of the experience of hunger even though it is lower in calories. Hunger is ane of the major impediments to successful weight loss. Our findings suggest that it is not only the caloric content, merely more importantly, the micronutrient density of a nutrition that influences the experience of hunger. Information technology appears that a high food density diet, after an initial stage of adjustment during which a person experiences "toxic hunger" due to withdrawal from pro-inflammatory foods, can event in a sustainable eating design that leads to weight loss and improved health. A high nutrient density diet provides benefits for long-term health as well equally weight loss. Because our findings take important implications in the global effort to control rates of obesity and related chronic diseases, further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Introduction

One of the common barriers to weight loss is the uncomfortable sensation of hunger that drives overeating and makes dieting neglect, even in those who are obese from over-consumption of calories. Over the past two decades we have worked closely with approximately twenty thousand patients in a private suburban family unit exercise in New Bailiwick of jersey specializing in nutritional interventions for weight loss and disease prevention/management. Our experience is that enhancing the micronutrient quality of the diet even in the context of a substantially lower caloric intake dramatically mitigates the experience of hunger. A diet loftier in micronutrients appears to subtract food cravings and overeating behaviors. Sensations such every bit fatigue, weakness, stomach cramps, tremors, irritability and headaches, commonly interpreted as "hunger", resolve gradually for the majority of people who prefer a high food density diet, and a new, less sorry, awareness (which we label "true" or "throat" hunger) replaces it.

It is well documented that a nutrition depression in antioxidant and phytochemical micronutrients leads to heightened oxidative stress and a build-upwardly of toxic metabolites [1-4]. It has also been shown that a higher intake of nutrient rich found foods decreases measurable inflammatory by-products [v-10]. Our hypothesis is that a diet containing an abundance of processed food and low in micronutrient-rich plant foods can create physical symptoms of withdrawal when digestion ceases in betwixt meals. Our contention is that during the catabolic phase of the digestion and refeeding cycle, when digestive activities cease, these withdrawal symptoms, misperceived equally "hunger", develop from a diet that is inadequate or poor in micronutrients. Nosotros call these symptoms "toxic hunger". It is our clinical feel that such withdrawal symptoms drive overeating behavior and are a major cistron leading to obesity. At that place is significant support for our observation and hypothesis, however a relative lack of enquiry on the determinants of overeating behavior and the hunger bulldoze. A "dopaminic loftier" [11,12] from ingestion of high calorically concentrated sweets and fats has been documented and leads to subsequent craving of these foods. Very piddling human research has been done in this surface area.

In this investigation nosotros were interested specifically in exploring the effect of a high nutrient density diet on participants' perceptions of hunger. Nosotros speculate that the discomfort of withdrawal from the toxins mobilized when one tries to refrain from consumption of pro-inflammatory processed foods and animate being products may be also be a major contributor to compulsive eating and consistent obesity. Dietary micronutrients such as antioxidants and phytonutrients are required for the body to properly reduce the production and removal of metabolic waste material products. In counseling patients to increase their micronutrient intake from greens and other nutrient-rich found foods, our experience is that healthful eating is more effective for long-term weight control because it modifies and diminishes the sensations of withdrawal-related hunger, enabling overweight individuals to be more comfy fifty-fifty while consuming substantially fewer calories.

In an endeavor to further explore and validate our clinical observations, we conducted an cyberspace-based survey of 768 individuals who had changed from the previous usual nutrition to a high nutrient density nutrition. The participants were recruited from a dr.-run website of approximately 4000 subscribers designed to back up the shift to a high nutrient density diet. In the survey we investigated the relationship between dietary micronutrient density and the symptoms of hunger.

Subjects and Methods

Population and Sample

Nosotros recruited past electronic mail a convenience sample of 768 participants from a population of over 4000 subscribers to a website that provides instruction and support for people who wish to meliorate their eating habits to a high food density diet. The website is hosted by a family physician specializing in diet. In add-on to the website, most of the subscribers also have at least one of several books written by the doc on a healthy diet-style to maximize nutrition and weight reduction. The subscribers come from all parts of the United States and Canada, equally well as a pocket-size number from Europe. About 65% of the subscribers to the website are female, with ages ranging from 35 to 65. Average household income of this population breaks down as follows: 27% $100-250K; fourteen% $85-100K; 10% $65-75K; and 8% $75-85K. Educational level of subscribers is: High Schoolhouse xvi%; Vocational Applied science credential 5%; Associate caste xi%; Bachelors 34%; Main 25%; Doctorate ix%. 71% are married, 17% single, ten% divorced and 1% are widowed. Information provided on the website includes the disease-protective and weight loss benefits of a diet rich in micronutrients from colorful vegetables, beans, seeds, nuts, fruits and whole grains and low (less than 10% of full calories) in processed foods and beast products.

Eligible participants were subscribers who indicated that they had made a change from their previous usual diet to a high nutrient density diet for at least one month. Consent was implied past clicking on a link to start the survey. The surveys were anonymous and were submitted via the Survey Monkey website[xiii]. Settings available on the Survey Monkey website were activated to cake repeated submissions by participants.

Musical instrument

A review of some of the commonly used instruments to assess hunger and eating behaviors such as the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and its earlier Eating Inventory [14,15] led us to conclude that these instruments do not assess in detail the actual symptoms of hunger. One tool adult by Friedman [14,16] does appraise both the location and sensations of hunger. We did non notice information technology to capture the specific issues that we were interested in examining and it would accept been difficult to administer it online, so nosotros developed our own net-based pilot survey. The survey questions were divided into three conceptual categories: physical symptoms of hunger, emotional symptoms of hunger, and location of hunger. The items were revised per recommendation of other research team members through a footstep-wise process, to establish a preliminary content validity. The survey was and so pilot tested with a group of xx patients for ease of completion and clarity. After administration, internal consistency of the questions on the previous usual diet and the high nutrient density nutrition were analyzed using Cronbach's alpha. The alpha coefficient for the eight previous usual nutrition questions was .868 and for the eight loftier nutrient density nutrition questions was .851, suggesting that the items have relatively loftier internal consistency. Question 10 was omitted from the Cronbach analysis because it did not ask specifically about each kind of nutrition.

The survey questions referred to two types of diet: the participant's previous usual diet and the high food density nutrition. Based on our clinical experience, nosotros assumed that participants' previous usual nutrition received a majority of calories from processed, commercially prepared foods with added salt and sugars, oils, white flour besides as dairy and meats. Conversely, the loftier nutrient density nutrition is mostly unrefined, unprocessed plant nutrient with minimal or no added table salt, sugars, oils, and a minimal corporeality of animal products or no beast products. Access to the survey began with an informed consent question and the participant could only keep past answering "yes". The remaining 13 questions were divided into 3 sections:

Section I: Dietary Questions (Questions 2-5)

These were 4 multiple choice questions about past and present diet style and eating habits including the degree and length of adherence to the high food density diet. Two items served to measure out the explanatory (independent) variables. Question 4 assessed length of adherence: "Approximately how long accept y'all maintained the level of dietary modify yous indicated in the previous question?" The options were: less than vi months, 6 to 12 months, more than 1 year, more than than 5 years. Question 5 assessed degree of adherence: "Mostly speaking, y'all adhere to a loftier nutrient density diet style". The options were: not very often, somewhat often, most of the fourth dimension, all of the fourth dimension.

Department II: Concrete Sensations of Hunger (Questions half dozen through 9)

This group of five Likert-scale questions asked most the participant'due south subjective symptoms and feelings of hunger including quality, and timing of symptoms.

Department III: Psychological, Mental and Emotional Aspects of Hunger (Questions 10 through 13)

The 4 Likert-calibration questions in the final section pertained to how hunger affects the participant's emotions, thoughts and feelings.

Section IV: Location of Hunger

Question 14 presented a graphic of a human being torso and asked participants to specify where on the graph they feel hunger.

Ethics

The procedures we followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of and approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Lath of the University of San Diego.

Statistics

The purpose of our data analysis was (one) to compare across all questions differences in the feel of hunger in the high nutrient density diet versus the previous usual nutrition, (2) to determine if changes in the feel of hunger on the high nutrient density diet were greater as the length of time on and degree of adherence to the diet increased and (three) to determine if the location of hunger differed on the high nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual nutrition. Participants served equally their own controls and answered the same questions about both diets. In essence, and then, this was a pre-post exam design. Due to the ordinal nature and non-normal distribution of the response variables, nosotros chose to comport non-parametric testing using SPSS statistical software (SPSS v18.0.2; Chicago: SPSS Inc.) per the post-obit plan[17]:

1. Conduct the Wilcoxon test to compare the feel of hunger on the loftier food density nutrition versus the previous usual diet.

2. Acquit the Spearman rho test to encounter if the experience of the discomforts of hunger with the high nutrient density diet was inversely correlated with the length of time on and adherence to the high nutrient density diet.

3. Perform the McNemar test to examine the relation between the type of diet and the location of hunger. Each possible location as indicated on a diagram was considered a dichotomous variable with choices "select" or "not select". The McNemar test provides the power to bear nonparametric testing comparing two groups when at least 1 variable is dichotomous [17].

Results

Descriptive statistics for the explanatory variables degree and length of adherence

Question 2 asked participants how familiar they are with the loftier nutrient density nutrition. Nearly 80% of participants indicated that they were "very familiar" with the diet. Question 3 asked participants to quantify their level of change to the high nutrient density nutrition. 76.5% of participants indicated that they adhere to the high food density diet 75% to 100% of the time. Question 4 asked participants how long they had maintained their alter to the loftier nutrient density diet. 23% had been on the high nutrient density nutrition less than vi months, 16.9% between vi and 12 months, 38.3% more than 1 year, and 12.i% more than 5 years. Question 5 asked participants to assess how often they observe the loftier nutrient density diet. 1.half dozen% indicated not very oftentimes, 10.4% indicated somewhat often, 54,8% indicated most of the time, and 24.3% indicated all of the fourth dimension.

As indicated higher up, questions 4 and 5 were used to measure the explanatory variables length and caste of adherence, against which responses to the questions related to the experience of hunger on the high food density diet were compared.

Concrete feel of hunger on high nutrient density nutrition vs. previous usual diet

A Wilcoxon Signed-ranks test indicated significant differences between the concrete experience of hunger on the previous usual diet versus the high nutrient density diet for participants across all questions on this result. See figures ​ 1, ​ two, ​ 3, and ​ 4 showing the results for this set of questions. Effigy ​ 5 shows the responses to the full general question of how much the experience of hunger has changed since starting on the high food density diet. Near eighty% of respondents reported that information technology had changed, with 51% reporting a dramatic or complete change in their experience of hunger.

Q6: HUNGER PAINS. Hunger pains were experienced less often when on the loftier food density diet compared to the previous usual nutrition, Z = -18.835, p < 0.001.

Q7: Betwixt MEALS. Hunger symptoms between meals were experienced less ofttimes when on the loftier nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual diet, Z = -18.927, p < 0.001.

Q8: SKIPPED MEALS. Hunger symptoms with skipped meals were experienced less often when on the high nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual diet, Z = -19.513, p < 0.001.

Q9: HUNGER FREQUENCY. Hunger was experienced less often when on the high nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual diet, Z = -18.2527, p < 0.001.

Q10: CHANGE IN HUNGER EXPERIENCE. About 80% of respondents reported that their experience of hunger had changed since starting the high nutrient density diet, with 51% reporting a dramatic or consummate change in their experience of hunger.

Emotional experience of hunger on loftier food density diet vs. previous usual nutrition

A Wilcoxon Signed-ranks test indicated significant differences between the emotional experience of hunger on the previous usual nutrition versus the high nutrient density nutrition for participants across all questions on this issue. Run into figures ​ 6, ​ 7, and ​ eight.

Q11: MOOD FLUCTUATIONS. Mood was less affected by hunger on the high food density diet compared to the previous usual diet, Z = -19.165, p < 0.001.

Q12: IRRITABILITY. Irritability when hungry was less likely to be experienced on the high nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual nutrition, Z = -18.937, p < 0.001.

Q13: UNPLEASANTNESS. Hunger was described equally beingness unpleasant less often when on the loftier nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual diet, Z = -18.368, p < 0.001.

Location of hunger on high food density diet vs. previous usual diet

Each of the selections for location of hunger on the reference chart was dichotomized to 'selected' versus 'not selected'. Figure ​ 9 illustrates the percentage of participants who chose each location in reference to the previous usual nutrition and the high food density nutrition. For the previous usual nutrition the largest pct selected was for "upper abdomen/mid stomach" (69.ix%, n = 489) followed by "head" (47.iv%, due north = 332). The lowest was for 'throat' (6.4%, due north = 45). For the loftier nutrient density diet, the largest percentage selected was for "upper abdomen/mid tummy" (39.4%, n = 276) followed by "throat" (29.ix%, n = 209). The lowest was for "lower stomach/upper intestine" (8.6%, north = 60). Using the McNemar test, differences in choice of location of hunger between the ii diets were highly significant (p < 0.001) across all locations tested.

Question xiv: LOCATION OF HUNGER. The high food density diet was associated more frequently with hunger in the mouth, throat, chest and upper breadbasket; the previous usual diet was associated more often with hunger in the head, and upper/lower breadbasket. Using the McNemar test, differences in choice of location of hunger between the two diets were highly significant (p < 0.001) beyond all locations tested.

Correlations between length on and adherence to loftier nutrient density nutrition and experience of hunger

Tables ​ 1 and ​ two summarize the Spearman rho correlation coefficients comparing the physical and emotional experience of hunger while on the high nutrient density diet to length and caste of adherence to the diet. Significant changed correlations between adherence and all concrete and emotional discomforts of hunger were present beyond all questions; frequency of hunger was not significantly correlated with either length or adherence. Nevertheless, length of time on the high nutrient density diet was significantly inversely correlated with the frequency of hunger pains in the stomach and discomfort with skipped meals.

Discussion

This written report provides important insights into hunger in a society characterized by over-consumption of candy food with an excess of calories and deficiency of micronutrients. Such hunger creates a bike of overeating leading to obesity and is an obstacle for those who attempt to establish a healthy eating design and normal BMI. We establish highly meaning differences in the experience of hunger on the high nutrient density diet compared to the previous usual diet in a large sample of people who had made the shift to a diet high in micronutrients and lower in calories. The uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms of hunger were much less prevalent afterward a change to the high nutrient density diet was fabricated. We too observed a "dose response" that was strongly correlated with the degree of adherence to the high nutrient density diet. Our findings reveal that those who are able to brand the change to a high nutrient density diet experience uncomfortable sensations of hunger less often than they experienced on their previous usual diet. In this survey of 768 participants, over 75% indicated that they observe the loftier food density nutrition most or all of the fourth dimension. Participants who adhered to the high food density diet overall found hunger to exist an uncomfortable experience less often; this may explicate the previously reported high levels of compliance and successful weight loss [18] with the loftier food density nutrition. Their hunger was less often characterized by classic withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, tremors, tum cramps, and mood changes. Rather, information technology was more oftentimes felt as a throat sensation that was hands tolerated.

As soon equally the intake, digestion and absorption of food is complete, the catabolic utilization of glycogen reserves and fatty acid stores begins. Hunger normally increases in intensity as glycogen stores are diminishing toward the end of glycolysis, and should not occur at the commencement of the catabolic stage when glycolysis begins (encounter Figure ​ 10). It is our contention that uncomfortable symptoms that bulldoze overeating behaviors early in the catabolic stage should exist recognized as withdrawal symptoms from a sub-optimal diet and non truthful hunger. Later on the completion of digestive activity, during catabolism, the mobilization and elimination of cellular waste products are heightened, thus precipitating symptoms commonly thought to be hunger. In contrast, true hunger occurs much later when glycogen stores near completion, preventing gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenisis is the utilization of musculus tissue for needed glucose one time glycogen stores take been depleted. True hunger protects lean trunk mass, just does non fuel fat deposition. It exists to protect lean trunk mass from utilization as an free energy source.

THE GLUCOSE RESPONSE CURVE. Truthful hunger occurs when glycogen stores are depleted, so that gluconeogenesis tin be avoided.

Contempo research on the physiology of metabolism provides a plausible caption for our findings. When a diet is low in dietary antioxidants, phytochemicals and other micronutrients, intra-cellular waste products such as free radicals, advanced glycation cease products, lipofuscin, lipid A2E, and others accumulate [9,nineteen]. Other studies have demonstrated an adverse bear on of low-micronutrient foods containing higher amounts of simple carbohydrates, fats and animal products on levels of inflammatory markers, metabolic by-products and oxidative stress in the trunk [20,21]. It is well established in the scientific literature that these substances contribute to illness [22-25], and tin be associated with typical withdrawal symptoms, including headaches [26,27]. Heightened elimination of these waste material products may create symptoms that tin can be experienced similarly to withdrawal from drug addiction [28]. In the absenteeism of an adequate intake of phytochemicals and other micronutrients, cellular detoxification is impaired [29] which elevates cellular gratuitous radical activeness, priming the body with more substrate to induce withdrawal symptoms when digestion ceases. Our theory is that these uncomfortable symptoms, relieved by eating which halts catabolism and arrests the detoxification process, are widely misperceived as hunger. In a society with an affluence of fast nutrient and high rates of obesity, commonly experienced sensations of hunger may actually be symptoms of withdrawal from a diet that is inadequate in micronutrients. Such a diet creates an backlog of pro-inflammatory metabolic waste products as well as an habit syndrome. There is growing show that food addiction is a clinical pathological condition [xxx-43]. Our hypothesis, supported by this airplane pilot written report, is that this addiction is acquired by withdrawal symptoms misread as hunger from pro-inflammatory foods and can exist mitigated past consumption of a nutrition loftier in anti-inflammatory micronutrients institute in vegetables and other micronutrient-rich plant foods.

Evidence suggests that overweight individuals build upwardly more inflammatory markers and oxidative stress when fed a low nutrient meal compared to normal weight individuals [20,21]. The heightened inflammatory potential in those with a tendency for obesity is marked by increasing levels of lipid peroxidase and malondialdehyde and reduced activation of hepatic detoxification enzymes [44]. This is supportive of our feel that people prone to obesity get more than withdrawal/hunger symptoms, preventing them from being comfortable in the not-digestive (catabolic) stage where breakdown and mobilization of toxins is enhanced. The resulting uncomfortable symptoms bulldoze them to eat again and over-swallow calories. It is a vicious wheel promoting continuous (anabolic) digestion, frequent feedings and increased intake of calories. Chronically overweight people in the typical American food surround feel "normal" merely past eating likewise frequently or by eating a heavy repast, and then that the anabolic process of digestion and assimilation continues correct up to the beginning of the next meal. In both cases, as our overweight patients report, backlog calories are needed in order to feel normal. A review of research on companion animals suggested that the introduction of specific micronutrients positively influenced the health status of animals whose natural detoxification systems were compromised, and reduced the accumulation of inflammatory markers [29]. This may explain why those on the loftier nutrient density diet were able to become for longer periods without feeling "hunger" symptoms.

In that location exists merely a small trunk of previous research exploring the human relationship between the type of foods ingested and the intensity and/or frequency of hunger. Ane theory that has been investigated is the glucostatic theory which links dynamic changes in claret glucose with appetitive sensations [45-48]. Several studies accept explored the relation between the glycemic alphabetize or fiber content of food and satiety, whereas others have examined whether the blazon or amount of fat acids, sugars or protein in the diet bear on the sense of hunger [49-62]. Results have been inconsistent. This may be due to the unknown variable of micronutrient intake in these studies. Some studies have documented a decrease in appetite with ingestion of greater amounts of fiber and/or micronutrients [49,52,56]. Recently, a Canadian report constitute that fasting and postprandial appetite ratings were reduced in women who were supplemented with multivitamins and minerals [63].

The findings of this study are specially significant given the nature of the diet we studied. Highly significant reductions in claret pressure, LDL cholesterol, fasting glucose and body weight have been reported in persons who accept made the change to a loftier micronutrient diet [18]. Farther, there is a vast torso of research documenting the protective benefit of a micronutrient-rich diet against cancer and cardiovascular affliction [one,8,10,24,25,64-77]. If clinicians can assure their patients with confidence that they volition non experience uncomfortable sensations of hunger subsequently the "detoxification" stage is over, they tin can keep their patients motivated to withstand the withdrawal symptoms they experience early in the dietary transition. The outcome will exist not only substantial and sustainable weight loss, but prevention of many major chronic diseases in our patients. Our hypothesis clearly requires further study and testing, just this preliminary study justifies additional investigations into this interesting and pregnant issue.

We must acknowledge the limitations of this study, including the fact that this was a retrospective, non-controlled study. The musical instrument we used has not been validated on large or diverse populations, although nosotros did constitute preliminary internal consistency and content validity. We recognize that participants were self-selected and may have been biased in their responses by exposure to the information on the website and resources to which they all subscribed. There are discussions of "toxic hunger" versus "true hunger" in the written and web-based materials that participants had access to. Participants were, yet, assured of the anonymity of their responses in the introduction to the survey, and the survey responses were received from the Survey Monkey website without any identifying information, including no inclusion of electronic mail addresses of those who completed the surveys. It will be important to see if this dramatic shift in hunger perception would be constitute in populations non exposed to "leading" letters in future studies. We likewise did not assess the actual diet that each participant typically maintained prior to irresolute to the high nutrient density diet, nor did we validate the self reports of degree of compliance to the high food density diet. Time to come studies should include food diaries and measures of biomarkers to quantify these variables more precisely.

However, given these limitations, the number of participants and highly pregnant test statistics provide leads for time to come studies that are improve controlled and prospective in design and some important clinical insights. Further studies should explore the physiological and neurohormonal correlates of "toxic hunger" and of "truthful hunger", including measures of oxidative stress and ghrelin levels in people who adhere to the loftier nutrient density diet and the previous usual nutrition. It would also be helpful to examine how long the typical "withdrawal stage" from the previous usual diet lasts equally people shift to the high nutrient density diet. This information would exist valuable in our clinical efforts to support those who are making the change to healthier eating patterns.

Conclusions

Nosotros plant significant differences in the symptoms, location and unpleasantness of hunger on the high nutrient density diet compared to the participants' previous usual diet in a big sample of people who had made the shift to a diet high in micronutrients and lower in calories. Hunger is one of the major impediments to successful weight loss. Our findings propose that it is not just the caloric content, only more importantly, the micronutrient density of a diet that influences the experience of hunger. Information technology appears that a high nutrient density diet, after an initial phase of adjustment during which a person experiences "toxic hunger" due to withdrawal from pro-inflammatory foods, can event in a sustainable eating pattern that leads to weight loss and improved health. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings that may have important implications in the global effort to control rates of obesity and related chronic diseases.
