Nutritious frozen foods can lose weight

Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that for people trying to lose weight, the volume of food they eat plays a significant role. Nutritious frozen meals offer a convenient option and can help manage portion sizes effectively. In a recent study, nutrition experts from the university's food science department compared two different diet plans. In the first program, participants prepared their own meals based on the "Nutrition Pyramid" guidelines. The second group, however, relied primarily on pre-packaged frozen meals as their main dish, with additional side dishes also following the pyramid's recommendations. Both groups consumed 1,700 calories daily, with similar amounts of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Before the study began, both groups reported eating around 2,400 calories per day. Their average weight was approximately 97 kilograms, and their BMI ranged from 26 to 42, meaning they were either overweight or obese. Over the course of the eight-week experiment, all participants reduced their calorie intake to 1,700 per day, which led to weight loss. However, the group eating frozen meals lost more weight—on average 7.4 kilograms—compared to the other group, which only lost 5.1 kilograms. The second group also saw a slightly lower average BMI. The researchers believe that frozen meals make it easier to control and balance nutrients in each meal. When preparing their own food, individuals must carefully select ingredients, which can be more challenging and prone to errors when following strict dietary guidelines like the "Nutrition Pyramid." Whether participants can maintain their new weight depends on whether they continue with this structured diet. The study highlights how effective and important a disciplined approach to eating is in managing weight. One of the lead researchers summarized the findings by saying, “Actually, the problem is really that simple.”
