> much like the previous "common sense" wave of "fat makes you fat" that led several generations into a dead end. Fat does make you fat, in the sense that most of the fat in the body does come from dietary fat, but the mechanisms of this are way more nuanced than popular brochures back from "red meat kills" era would lead you to believe. Insulin itself doesn't singularly make you fat either, despite "bro science", again, there's more nuance. CICO works, but again, there's nuance to that too. > My weight is stable but each time I go to US for a couple of weeks I bring back 3-5 extra kilos. One thing I noticed immediately was that the bread in the US was very uncomfortably sweet, so much so that I'd put it into "pastries" category. Bought a loaf of "farmer's bread" at Trader Joe's, and while maybe not "pastry sweet", it was still in the dessert territory. Why does it take so much sugar to bake ordinary bread? I blame imperial units :-)
