• Two professors called Robin Haberin Simson have studied the protein leverage hypothesis.
  • Humans and animals eat for two main reasons: to obtain necessary nutrients and to acquire energy.
  • The nutrients that our bodies require for building are primarily protein and vitamins.
  • Energy, needed for movement and thinking, comes from carbohydrates and fat.
  • Humans and animals tend to eat until they reach a certain amount of nutrients, especially protein.
  • Eating nutrient-diluted food (which is mostly carbohydrates and fat) requires consuming larger quantities of both nutrients and energy to meet our needs.
  • Our food supply has become nutrient-diluted due to the addition of sugar and oil.
  • The dilution of nutrients and protein in processed foods forces us to consume more energy in order to obtain the necessary nutrients.
  • This phenomenon contributes to the theory of satiety and is considered a significant factor.
