Phil Lempert on "The Satiety Index"
NBC's "Today" show (which is still looking for "healthy eaters") Food Editor Phil Lempert was featured in a health segment on Thursday touting the virtues of what he believes is a fascinating new Australian study regarding food.
Lempert, who is known as The Supermarket Guru, cited a study conducted by researchers at the University of Syndey in Australia which found that some foods can make you feel more full than others when eaten with equal caloric values. If you haven't heard about it already, then let me introduce you to "The Satiety Index."
Developed by Dr. Susanna Holt, "The Satiety Index" helps measure
how well various foods can satisfy someone's hunger based on a 240-calorie scale.
Fixed amounts of 38 different foods were fed to the study participants who responded
with how hungry they felt every fifiteen minutes and then were given the freedom
to eat again from a buffet anytime over the next two hours.
