Gosh! Here I thought it was over eating!
Study brought to you by General Mills...eat wheat!
I go mostly paleo. We’ll see what happens...
Hardly my area of expertise, but it seems to me that a high carb diet leads to more obesity than high fat.
I eat a high fat diet. I sleep well and I have lost thirty pounds. Been on the diet for about 7 years. Weight is very stable. One question to ask though. Rats and people are not very similar. So what is this study supposed to tell us? How to waste grant money?
I’m carnivore .... fat fortify my meat, except for bacon (butter, olive oil, avocado oil) .... 65 lbs down, best health EVER.
So then Keto diets make you fat? Right.
Interesting. Its only one data point and maybe a coincidence, but now that I think of it the first time I got overweight happened the first time I had a grave yard shift job that messed with my sleep patterns.
Humans aren’t lab rats, no matter how much Faux-Xi and Josef STOLIN seem to think they are.
A zillion other variables need to be controlled for.
Hi fat is bad for weight...unless you greatly reduce carb intake (ideally to keto levels)...then it is far better than other diets. But fat, overall, is EXCELLENT from a nutritional standpoint, despite what Fauchi and his bunch claim.
I thought it was sugar and carbs.
COVID cures obesity
I’ve been on keto for 4 months and have lost 20 lbs and counting. Twenty more lbs and I’m just above the weight I was when I got out of boot camp 40 years ago. Wheat and sugar are poison.
Looks like bogus research. No humans eat a diet that is 70% fat. In the real world excess carbohydrates are converted to fat by insulin, and fatty foods are often used for energy.
It’s carbs that pack on the weight.
Pure bullshit. “Studies” are not research. I know from personal experience carbs and sugar lead to obesity.
Trying to discount the keto high fat diet? Eating high fat works, as long as it’s combined with low carbs and moderate protein. Mix high fat with high carbs, and you get obesity.
What kind of fat? Ultra processed seed oils high in Omega-6 Linoleic Acid? That’s the kind of fat found in most junk food. Omega-3 fats such as found in fish oils? Clean-burning keto-friendly fats such as butter or coconut oil? Article doesn’t mention anything about this crucial piece of information. All fats are not the same. They are not processed the same in the body. Even the study abstract doesn’t mention the type of fats, rendering the study useless, IMHO.
>> Obesity can lead to several other diseases such as Type 2 diabetes
One can suffer T2 without being obese.
I’ll see if I can dig up the actual study. Most of these are
BS.
“One group was fed a control diet
(CD; ~ 3,514 kcal/kg of chow, energy from: 10% fat, 24% protein,66% carbohydrates, cat. no. C1090-10; Altromin, Germany)
and the other, a HFD
(~ 5,389 kcal/kg of chow, energy from: 70% fat, 16% protein, 14% carbohydrates, cat. no. C1090-70; Altromin).”

So the high fat diet (HFD) that was fed had more than 50% higher calories and was protein restricted.
The hypothesis does not fit the data. Over the last 40 years obesity has exploded, but fat consumption has dropped. The health experts said “Eat a low fat diet” and by and large, we changed to a low fat diet. Didn’t help our satiety.
Anecdotally, I find a high fat, low carb diet much more satisfying and the satisfaction lasts for easy 16+ hour stretches without snacking.
