The majority of the new research now suggests that fatty foods dont make us fat, and that sugar is a major contributor. The old adage was that fat made us fat, and so to make things taste good manufacturers just pilled in the sugar (this was around the 1970s), and over time people started getting obese, even though they were eating low fat foods.</p><p>Now there are essentially 'high fat, low carb' diets which people lose weight. Some are eating as high as 70 or more % fat! Part of it comes down to the tyoe of fats they are eating - animal fats, and other healthy fats, such as avocado, nuts and seed. These diets are also low carbs and pretty much zero sugar.</p><p>So sugar is probably the number one reason for weight gain. Obviously it comes down to genetics and age aswell, Younger people with 'skinny genes' seem to stuggle to put on weight while others have more of a tendency to gain weight easily.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3crky855","appParentAuthor":"gregorygory","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
