A research team at the Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism Center at the University of Bath, the body condition when eating pizza to the extent that you feel full and when you eat pizza to the maximum so that you can not eat another bite We conducted an experiment to compare.

The subjects were healthy young men aged 22 to 37 years old, who ate an average of about 1500 kcal for a full-meal meal, but they ate about 3000 kcal, which is twice the maximum meal. In the case of the subjects who ate the largest amount, it was said that they ate pizza exceeding 5000 kcal. In the UK where the experiment was conducted, the recommended calorie intake for men specified by the National Insurance Service is ``2,500 kcal per day'', so at the maximum meal, more calories than recommended per day at one meal Is the calculation that was ingested.



When the subject's blood was investigated, it was found that when the pizza was eaten to the maximum extent, the sugar and fat contents in the blood remained within the normal range compared to when the pizza was eaten to the fullness. The specific confirmed effects are as follows.

・The blood sugar level was not high.

Insulin, which has the effect of lowering blood sugar level, increased by 50%.
- 2 times or more even though lipids ingested, triglyceride and free fatty acid blood lipid consisting was only elevated degree was.
GLP-1 , which is a hormone that promotes insulin secretion, and peptide YY were significantly increased.



According to the research team, if 'eating' is done as in this experiment, excess energy is accumulated in the body in the form of fat. Therefore, if you overeat every day, you may become obese, but if healthy people occasionally overeat, there is no adverse health effect such as loss of metabolic control.

Aron Hengist, the first author of the paper, said, ``Chronic overeating is known to adversely affect obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, but this time the human body is very susceptible to sudden overeating. It shows that you can cope well. A healthy person can eat twice as much as a 'full stomach' and even cope with energy surpluses.

Since this experiment is limited to young healthy men, the research team will investigate whether similar results can be obtained in elderly people, women, obese people, etc. In addition, the subject who ate the pizza to the maximum complained of drowsiness and discomfort for 4 hours after the meal, and reported that he did not want to eat anything contrary to the popular theory that 'sweet food is another belly'. is.
