Correct me if I am wrong. Carbs are converted to glucose (sugar) for energy for the body. Unconsumed glucose is converted to fat, a form of “stored energy”. Your metabolic rate determines at what rate fat cells release fat back into the blood stream where it is converted again into an usable form of energy, i.e. sugar. When you sit on your fat ass and claim an eating disorder, thyroid condition, or whatever ( not including those who actually have those medically verifiable conditions) and do not practice self control, moderation, and physical activity, YOU WILL GET FATTER. You don't need a study to tell you that. Common sense and just a modicum of intelligence and behavior modification should suffice.

The problem is that many of these diets are low-fat. You need lots of fat to tell your body that it's "full", and doesn't need any more now, thank you very much.

I'm drinking coffee with heavy cream just now. Won't be even vaguely hungry for a couple of hours.
