Mushrooms: a food with many properties, which differs according to the variety.
And that for example in the field of pharmacognosy they are widely used, but on whose properties there are insufficient studies to classify them all.

We know something, albeit in a marginal way.
For example, is it true that some mushrooms make you lose weight?
In a 2011 study of a group of mice, the shiitake mushroom variety was found to prevent mice from gaining weight despite a high-calorie diet. In the article on mycotherapy , I show you 3 medicinal mushrooms for weight loss.

But today a new study questioned the nutritional properties of common mushrooms and their dietary benefits .
According to the study, mushrooms help you lose weight.
Provided that, of course, they are used as a substitute for more caloric foods.
Said so it seems the discovery of hot water.

It is logical that if I replace a plate of pasta with a plate of lettuce I lose weight, if I do not compensate later with other foods.
But in reality, the study analyzed another interesting fact.

DO MUSHROOMS SLIMMING?

Unlike other vegetables, in fact, mushrooms are much more satisfying for the palate, for the type of fiber, i.e. the fact that for example under the teeth they are more consistent and fleshy than other vegetables.

So, going back to the salad example, I can substitute it for the pasta dish, but only to be hungry again.
If, on the other hand, I make myself a plate of sautéed champignons, or pleurotus, I will not be hungry.
And the calories of these mushrooms per hectogram are less than thirty.

Mushrooms make you lose weight therefore because they have these characteristics.

• they are more palatable than other vegetables
• they are more satiating than other vegetables
• compared to other vegetables, they do not trigger the appetite again.

To understand how the study can help us in practice, let’s see how mushrooms make you lose weight.
