Insulin tells the fat cells to load up on fat. Insulin secretion is triggered by elevated blood sugar. In fact, you can get fat by following a low fat diet as long as you have enough calories in it. Even a very fatty diet without enough carbohydrates to keep your blood sugar high is unable to fatten you. That's what Atkins' diet is based on: avoiding carbohydrates. </p>\n<p>Of course, if you eat a lot of fat it may upset your stomach or cause gall stones or something else. If you want to lose weight, reducing high-quality fats is totally unnecessary. What you should do is cut down on high-glycemic index carbohydrates (white flour, added sugar etc.) in your diet. If you eat enough carbs to have a balanced diet but not too much and mostly low-glycemic index ones (=not capable of being released into the bloodstream too fast), then you will most likely be able to keep your weight in check unless you get too many calories.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3crky855","appParentAuthor":"gregorygory","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
