The internet seems to love the notion that fatty foods do not lead to fatty people. My personal experience is that it does. Fat is slower to metabolize than any other macro-nutrient. If you don't exercise, this might not apply. But if you do, you need carbohydrates for energy, and you don't need much fat. Any excess fat you do consume is harder to burn.
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoGo read Good Calories, Bad Calories to learn the real science behind nutrition (as opposed to "personal experience").
- recursive 15y agoMy personal experience is consistent with the simple fact-based reasoning that I laid out. I may give this book a read though. The missing factor that many people seem to miss is that exercise is a bigger factor in health than diet, and you can't exercise effectively (at least endurance exercise) without carbohydrates.
- Poyeyo 15y agoMy personal experience is totally opposite to yours. Eating fats makes me more energetic and more fit at the same time. However, I'm strict with the 'no carbs' thing. If you mix fat and carbs nothing you say is conclusive.
