What's new in the weight loss circle: The sixth taste,"fat", is coming
Don't worry about what to eat to lose weight, recognize the taste of "obesity", avoid high-fat diets with long meat, and control calories so easy-worry about missing out on delicious food? Don't be afraid, the taste of fat is not as good as you think, and it's no big deal to hate the "fat taste".
A while ago, a paper providing evidence for the taste of fat pushed the sixth taste-Oleogustus to men and women who eat. This Latin term translates to oily taste, fatty taste, and some people vividly call it fat taste.
Everyone says that if you lose weight, you won't eat sweet food, fried food, or meat... Why doesn't anyone say "don't eat fat flavor"? And this newly discovered taste-fat taste is the sixth taste that is different from the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter and fresh). Think about it in the future, you can lose weight by choosing the "fat taste" without eating it or eating less. How much can you save?
"Fat flavor" is actually really not delicious!
Not only does it taste very weird alone when separated from other flavors, it also means that your food contains too much fatty acids and free fat, which will allow you to taste the "greasy taste"-high fat, high oil, definitely fat, you won't discuss it!
The taste of oil sounds very delicious and tempting, but it is not. If you are interested, you can take a sip of the oil and try it to see if it tastes good. The rich and complex flavors such as creamy creamy feel and consistency when tasting delicious cakes, hamburgers, French fries, pizza and steaks, although they have fat-soluble flavor, they are not really greasy. The real chemical source of the "greasy taste" is the unesterified fatty acid NEFA, which does not taste good at all, but it is actually quite disgusting.
Fat itself is not delicious, but it enhances other flavors like bitter taste. There are many fat substitutes in many food formulas on the market, but these substitutes focus more on taste than taste, so new research on "fat taste" will help develop more effective ways to eliminate obese diets.
But until then, you'll have to taste the fat yourself!
What does "fat" taste like?
It means "the taste of oil or fat". If you have to describe the taste of "fat", it's the feeling when you bite a juicy steak. It's the taste of dripping a drop of olive oil on your tongue. It may be a little greasy or a little fatty.
There is no overlap between fat taste and the five known basic tastes: sour, sweet, bitter, salty and fresh. No other taste can be mixed and mixed. It is a unique taste that can be peeled off. Interestingly, this taste is not similar to the fat and delicious taste of braised pork. On the contrary, most experimental subjects found it unacceptable.
The more sensitive the "fat flavor" is, the less likely it is to get fat
After the discovery of the "sixth taste", taste also established a new connection with nutrition and obesity. Long-term high-fat diet can easily cause the main taste of "fat taste" to become dull, and the dull "fat taste" affects our satisfaction with fat.
In other words, a high-fat diet will make us "unresponsive" to fat and eat more and more. Whether it is animal experiments or population experiments, scientists have found that individuals who are more sensitive to the taste of grease are thinner, while individuals who are more insensitive to its taste are more likely to eat more fat and accumulate more fat.
Find "fat" food
Basic taste is the experience after chemicals in food interact with tongue taste buds. Fat taste is not the taste of a certain type of food, but it has a specific taste substance, which is undoubtedly fat, or to be precise, free fatty acids. Among our common foods, which contain "fat" flavor substances, free fatty acids?
However, just as sugar is the enemy of getting fat and a necessity for life, even if you know these "fat" delicacies, don't forcibly quit a balanced diet with nutrition ~ because dieting is the most useless way to lose weight! Whether fat or not, moderate amount + balance is the king way!
The "fat flavor" you can taste: sausage, ham, bacon
Unsaturated fatty acids in free fatty acids play a very important role in the formation of meat flavor substances. The more unsaturated fatty acids in the meat, the stronger the flavor will be. In other words, the more unique and intense the sausage has, the more fat it contains, and this is the gathering place of free fatty acids.
These deeply processed meat products have already been on the black list of healthy eating. Since the "fat taste" is so strong, it is better to eat less for the sake of health and figure.
cheese
The impact of free fatty acids on flavor is usually determined by the pH of the cheese, and the higher the pH, the more unfavorable the impact. The fatty acids of different types of cheese have different effects on flavor, and the process also has an important impact on the content of free fatty acids in cheese.
palm oil
The raw material of palm oil is palm fruits, and the free fatty acid content of palm fruits is particularly high. Palm oil is widely used in cooking and food manufacturing. It is used as a cooking oil and crunchy fat and is popular among pastry manufacturers. It can be made into margarine and cocoa butter substitutes, and is widely used in baking and frying non-staple foods.
Natural vegetable oils are actually not afraid of eating, but the oils after deep processing in cakes and baking are lack of nutrients, and the flavor gained by this is always felt that it is not worth the gain.
tea
The content of lipids in fresh tea leaves is very high, reaching 7.15% of dry weight. During processing, part of these lipids are converted into volatile substances, and part of them are still retained in the form of fatty acids in the finished tea. The finished tea contains about 8% fatty substances, which will also turn into free fatty acids during storage. As the free fatty acid content increases, the aroma of the tea leaves will become stale and even have a sour taste, and the color of the soup will deepen.
Although tea is rich in lipids, tea is not afraid to drink! People who are afraid that drinking tea will make them fat may have to drink hundreds of kilograms of strong tea every day to get fat.
If the taste is fat, the person is fat?
When "fat" is mixed with other flavors, it releases a unique and tempting flavor. Therefore, when you say that the taste is sweet or salty, you actually just like to eat "fat" food. If the taste is "fat", it will be easy to gain weight.
People's food choices are often based on feelings and memories after eating, and the taste of fat may play an important role in this association. If you want to get rid of the desire for fat taste, just saying a few harsh words like "Either lose weight or die" will not help much. It's not easy to use willpower to fight appetite. You need to know these 3 tips to fight "fat taste".
① Change traits
The appeal of food to people is not only to taste, but also to hot and cold, soft and soft, and thin, which all affect the taste. Changing the original appearance of these foods can greatly reduce appetite. Cutting, freezing, and melting are all good methods. Think about it, when you melt the delicious ice cream into a milkshake, and when you freeze a piece of chocolate until it is hard, will it still have a silky taste?
② Looking for substitutes
When you crave a sweet tooth, you may be deficient in B vitamins, especially vitamin B6. B vitamins can help the body's metabolism. Once they are lacking, they can easily feel tired and depressed, while sweets can make you feel happy by releasing serotonin. At this time, you should pay attention to eating more foods rich in B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, such as brown rice, egg yolks, walnuts, bananas, etc.
③ Timing limit
Sometimes forcing yourself to abstain from certain foods can stimulate cravings. It is recommended to set a limit for yourself first, and it is best to set the time to eat. For example, every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon are French fries, and you can eat 20 chips at a time, but you can't eat them at other times. Adhere to it for two weeks and reduce it to once a week, and then gradually move to "not eating at all", making full use of the characteristics of fat flavor that "the more you don't eat, the more vigilant you are".
