This week: the science of satiety, nutrition and hair loss, misleading nutrition labels, and more

by Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN on February 23, 2013

Can’t get no satisfaction? Then you definitely don’t want to miss this week’s two part series on satiety and satiation. Part 1 is on foods that help you feel full on fewer calories. Part 2 deals with foods that help keep you feeling full longer.  If you’re trying to limit your calorie intake you want to use both of these factors to your advantage.  Plus, learn how your environment can make you more (or less) hungry!

Calorie counters may also want to check out this item on “zero-calorie” salad dressings. There’s definitely more going on here than the nutrition facts label may suggest.

In the mailbag this week, we have a question from a young man wondering whether dietary changes might help  him hang onto his prematurely thinning hair.  Also, a note from a young lady hoping to become pregnant, wondering how to get enough DHA to support healthy brain development without exposing her unborn child to dangerous levels of mercury.

Very interesting post. Being healthy is really our responsibility, we should not blame anyone or anything if we are not that healthy, we should blame our selves for not choosing to have a healthy lifestyle.

Nice post. I find out something alot more challenging on distinctive blogs everyday. It’s going to usually be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog no matter if you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
