What is Energy Density? Sonoma Diet's Concept
Dense About Energy Density?
You've read through the list of Sonoma Diet ingredients and have probably noticed that the majority of the foods are whole and natural, ensuring that you're getting important nutrients in your diet. But what you may also have noticed about these foods is that they are very filling, which over time leads to your feeling satisfied on less food. The reason? It's the low energy density of Sonoma Diet foods!The concept is simple: Every food has an energy density rating. Foods like candy and junk food have a high energy density. This means that a small amount of these foods has a relatively high number of calories. But foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products have a low energy density, meaning they allow you to eat a large amount of food for a relatively low number of calories.
This is mainly accounted for by the high fiber and water content of low energy density foods. Foods with a low energy density provide more volume and take longer to digest, leaving you feeling satisfied for longer on fewer calories — a secret weapon of the Sonoma Diet way of life!
