De invloed van calorie- en beweeginformatie op hoeveel je eet: Noraly Duizer's presentatie tijdens Student Research Conference


 Afgelopen week had Noraly Duizer de eer om haar bachelor thesis te presenteren tijdens de Student Research Conference (SRC) te Amsterdam. Op de SRC presenteren geselecteerde studenten hun bacheloronderzoek. Hoewel Noraly niet in de prijzen viel ging haar presentatie erg goed.
 
Afgelopen voorjaar gaf Noraly aan 148 deelnemers een portie chips met daarbij op de verpakking gemanipuleerde informatie over het aantal calorieen in een portie en hoe lang je moet sporten om deze calorieen te verbranden. Heeft deze informatie invloed op hoeveel mensen eten en hun concrete sportplannen? Maakt het de chips juist lekkerder en het schuldgevoel na het eten groter? Lees het in de paper van Noraly hieronder!

Highlights Obesity 2010 conference San Diego

What is hot in obesity research and policy making? I am here in San Diego to find out at the Obesity conference.


One thing is clear. Obesity is a chronic disease and dieting as a temporary, special way of eating is not going to help people any further. Nothing new, one could say. Studies have shown over and over again that dieting is not such a good idea. However, that has not stopped people from trying. Diet books are among the best sellers in book sales rankings. People see dieting as something that you do for a limited time.

However, presenters at this conference stress it again and again; support should not stop after people lost a considerable amount of weight. Sustained approaches to deal with overweight over a lifetime are needed, according to Van Saxton Hubbard, winner of the Mickey Stunkard Lifetime Achievement Award.
