[quote=Anonymous]I once read a study where they had participants add a certain number of calories to their diet in the form of either a sugary drink or pieces of candy. It wasn't high, maybe 100 calories/day. There were no restrictions on what else they could eat, although they did have to keep a diary. They found that the drink people gained weight; the candy people did not. From the diaries, they found that the candy people had adjusted their diets down to compensate for the candy and eat about the same # of calories less. This was not on purpose, either. (I don't remember how they knew it was unconscious, but that point was made.) The drink people never adjusted their diets. The theory was that our body will notice "food" and feel a little more full, whereas the beverage calories slip right past detection.[/quote]
