Ice cream versus diet |
Recently I met with the statement that eating large amounts of ice cream helps in weight loss because the body expends more energy to digest cold products. Is this true? Does this mean that those who are on a diet can eat ice cream with impunity?
Ice cream (and other cold products) actually stimulate the body to work more during the digestive process. But there is no scientifically proven facts that the energy expenditure during digestion of ice cream was higher than the caloric content of these products.
Also note that the traditional ice cream in large part made up of simple sugars and fat. Mostly used for their production of such products as milk, eggs (egg powder), sugar, milk powder and cream. In addition, additives are used as emulsifiers, stabilizers and pigments. With these messages, it's hard to say that ice cream products were healthy and good for weight loss diets. Eaten in excess, are certainly dangerous to the figures, but also for health.
One of the types of ice cream are sorbets. They contain fewer calories than traditional ice cream milky, because they are produced mainly from water and fruit juices. But here lies the trap. Fruit juices contain a simple sugar that is in addition to, and so added to the production of sorbets. So also with the amount of ice cream should not be exaggerated.
