Re: Liquid protein won't fill you up

[Guest guest]

You're referring to satiety index, a measure of how long one goes without

being hungry again after eating a set number of calories of a food. Potatoes

are the champ as I recall, solid proteins rate pretty high, processed carbs

very low. Anyone aware of any books on satiety index out yet? It's a very

important number for CRONies, much more important than the much-discussed

glycemic index, I think.

It is said that mere bulk helps. I imagine something like psyllum

husk paste would be the champion - since that is supposed to be

indigestible (and have no calories at all), but be very bulky.

If psyllum husks - or similar bulky foods with a non-zero number of

calories - have a high SI, then I think a strategy of eating high SI

foods takes on a new light.

Psyllum husk paste is great stuff - but it is very bulky and seems

likely to prevent nutrients from anything else eaten at the same

time from being absorbed so well - due to competing with it for

intestinal space, preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the

food - and through hurrying everything through the GI tract.
