No fat decreases dopamine, but sugar increases and both cause obesity. Logically, balancing the two would cause no increase or decrease and should lead to a balanced weight, yet the researches don't say this they say people should avoid eating fatty foods or carbohydrate rich foods.
I'd be interested to see whether a balance of protein/fat/carbs in equal 1/3 parts by weight or 1/3 parts by calorific quantity provides the least effect on our dopamine levels.
I know personally that when I was on a high-fat diet, I lost weight. I've also lost weight since I switched from margarine to real butter (note: you'd be surprised how easy it is to clean baked foods when it's real butter, it took literally 5 seconds to get a bowl spotless with just hot water which normally took about a minute after being soaked in hot water with detergent in it), plus my food tastes a lot less like plastic.
I'm sure this has something to do with my working in construction, however I've never been sugar-sensitive. I literally tackled a bag of brown sugar with a spoon as a kid and didn't get a sugar rush, while my wife has gotten a sugar rush off a caramilk bar.
